The new rurai tele phone bells wire kept steadily ringing by the heavy flashes, but no harm was done. The central communica tion was cut off until this morning. This evening the dark, heavy clouds are raising and thunder can be heard rambling in the southwest. There are at least 350 tons of hay down in the Williams and Applegate valleys which a rain would delay hauling for few days. The bop crops is looking fine and a large yield is anticipated.

Strawber ries are coming to be one of the big fruit products of Rogue River Valley and with intelligent methods ia growing and marketing tbey can be made one of onr most profitable fruits. But.the growers of this Valley have many things k learn and can profit by the experience of the Hood River and other growets. One is that it will only be profitable to raise two kinds of strawberries, an extra early shipper and a standard canuing berry. By growing the ship ping berries on a warm south slope np in the thermal belt away from tbe frosts.and .irrigating the plants witb warm water ont of an opeu broad reservoir aud not witb ice cold well water aud by proper mobbing and cultivating it will be .possible If or Rogue River Valley strawberries to be iu thu Portland, Seattle, Victoria aud other northern mark.ts fully 10 days ahead of Hood River, Willamette or Yakima berries. In that 10 days the fancy prices are had aud the big profit is made oft tbe beiry patch. With the competition that will come from other sections that are taking np berry growing it will not pay to ship late strawberries. But the new Grants Pass cannery will afford a pro tfi able market for the late berries. It will berefore be only profitable for the growers here to plant the very earliest variety and the best canning variety and n o other.

However, ttiere are still daily consignments going forward byexJ press. 'This year's a crop has been prsc I tically 100 per . cent larger than tht berry output of last year. The total strawberry crop of 1U0G was about car loads; while the orjp this yeat will amount to about 45 cars. The prices that have prevailed thii season have not been as large as the I received last year. Tbit is im mainly to tbe fact that the placet I in Oregon, Washington and Montam that have been .our most open niarket I in former years are now being sop. plied by local growers in tbe re spective viciuiies. lhe state of Washington, that w&i at one time one of tbe heaviest cot: Burners, has shipped hundreds of carl loads of berries into the eastern mar l kets this year, and the Bitter Rooil counrty iu Montana has also hadi heavy yield this season. It is evident that as the various teg I nous of the northwest are beinil brought under irrigation systems, that I the several localities will product! larger crops of small fruits. But ill still remains that the Hood Rivet I strawerry is still without a peer m I shipper. Our berries have been chip. I ped to the Atlantic coast, and tbey I arrived in good condition.
