Secretary Hel ferrich said the aubmarinea had re duced British commerce fifty per cent. He declared that the British reserve stocks to meet other necessities were reduced so plentiful "hat importation is imperative. He said, "The British world empire is already shake i to its foundations. It is now suffering from the powerful merciless strokes of our submarine navy. Wc will continue until the day which every German h ;t ardently awaits. To an easterner reading the annual report of Ldward A Beals, district weather forecaster, the past year would seem to have been a most di astcrous one in the Willamette Val ley from an agricultural standpoint. The opening scntance of his report Is misleading to one not acquainted with the facts. He says, "On the whole the year vas unfavorable for agriculture. This was largely on ac count of too much rain and cold weather during the spring and sum ntcr months." The fact of the matter is that there was an excess of rain last year, about 4774 inches, which wai 475 inches more than the average for the 39 years that the record has been kept at the loeal office. But.while January : n.l February were very bad months with much rain and snow, and that there were some light frosts in May nd rains in July wliich spoiled many cherries and other iruits, the year as a whole waa good, the best ever, in fact, and all the larmers arc more prosperous than they eve-' have been. l lie peach crop was a vomler. .tnfi apples were fine, pears suffered, the crop was short in tile valtey, but the were plenty of strawberries, logan berries, blackberries, prunes and other small fruits. A great de .! oi hay vas spoiled by the rains coming he fore it was cured and hauled from the fields, but this amount r.-as compara tively ncgligable. Clover was the chief sufferer. But the main crops that the farme depends upon were jjood. The year was ideal for grain growing. There was plenty of moisture at the riglit time, and the harvest season was long and dry, with hardly more than two days of moisture in the whole time The stores are showing the result of that "unfavorable year" and the auto dealers give evidence that something is wrong by not being able to get the cars to supply tne demand. W W Crawford, local dealer for th Ford, stated this week that if he otild get 60 cars at once he could place every one before the w-eek wer out. The demand exceeds ihe sup ply. Yes, Mr. Beals. this was a had year, very bad in 1916. judging from the prosperity hereabonts. L CREDIT ' LAW EFFECTIVE Clerk of State Land Board Directed to Prepare Blanks at Once.
