Stanfield Returns from Omaha and Chicago THINKS PRICES WILL DnCP Morrow County Farmers are Urged to Save Grain Sam ples and other Procucts for Lewis and Clark Fair. R. N. Stanfield has returned from Omaha and Chicago where he bad been with a shipment of cattle, says the Pen dleton Tribune, Mr. Stanfield says that there are no Indications of an advance in tbe stock market and that the bay ers in Omaha and Chicago except cheap btf this summer. "The prices," be said, "were not good and it doesn't look as if they were going to improve. As (ar as I can determine the outlook is not very encouraging, and we are going to put onr cattle on the market as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the present prices rather than meet a decline which is expected at any time. As to the effect of the packers' strike on tbe stock market I can't say, as I left Chicago before tbe strike had been called." Mr. Stanfield went to Omaha with a shipment of fourteen cars of beef cattle which were loaded at Echo. These cattle brought good prices on the mar ket, but nothing extra. Mr. Stanfield did not say just what the price was, but said the range was from $2 65 to $6.00, They will start another trainload of cat tle (or tbe Omaha market within a few weeks. These cattle were some of them held up by the state inspector and kept out of the recent shipment.

To the Editor: We are making an effert to secure for Morrow County a creditable exhibit to go to the Lewis and Clark exhibition at Portland next year. Considerations of pride as well eg our material interests require us to make the best display our county can afford. To this end we are asking our people to furnish us anything of excep tional excellence produced in the county. We want a large collection of our best grains, in the straw and in the berry ; of our best grasses, fruits, in fact anything of exceptional quality pro duced within our limits. We want the people of every district in the county to give us samples of their best products. We will gladly furnish Jars and preserv stives for all products which require this mode of preservation. Every earn pie will be labeled so .that each locality will get proper credit for what it (urn iBhes. We have safe and ample storage room for all products in the bssement of the Courthouse at Hepnner, where they will eventually be brought to await shipment, To facilitate the gathering of material however, we have established local depoitories through the County. Leave your samples with Nichols A Leach of Lexington, J. A. Woolery or C. T. Wal keroflone, A. C.. Morgan of Douglas, F. B. Holbrook of Irrigon, II. E. War ren or Geo. Bleakman of Hardman, or at The First National Bank in Heppner Let us all take an interest in this matter and get together a display which will he a credit to Morrow County. Very truly yours, Gko. Conskr, Commissioner. The sale of livestock and wool has already put into circulation in Morrow county more thau a half million' dollars this year, and probably stock to the value of more than $100,000 will yet be sold be fore the close of the year. To this add $000,000 for wheat that will be shipped out during the season, which makes a grand total of $1,- 200,000 for the twi industries, agriculture and livestock. If divided among the 5000 people of tne county pro rata, it would give every man, woman and child $250. In agriculture Morrow county needs twice or, three times as many people to obtain the greatest re sults. We ha? too much land for the few farmers to get the best results. The trouble is that every farmer trie to farm too much land and cannot possibly do it well. Where one man may farm 500 or 700 acres to wheat and get 10 to 15 bushels per acre as at present, five men could farm the same number of acres properly and make a yield of 25 to 40 bushels per acre. While the soil requires less labor to produce a crop here than any other place we know of, it is not reasonable to suppose that any one man can farm from 500 to 700 acres and obtain the best results. There are many fields of grain in our county today that the yield is estimated at from 25 to 35 bushels per acre, while there are others that are estimated I at vz, id, 18 ana zu dub he is per acre. It is true there may be some difference in the character of tbe soil in the different localities, but it is apparent everywhere that the better cultivation brings the larger yield. Grain Yield Heavier than Was Expected. Morrow County, with a popul ation of less than 5000, has com menced harvesting a 1,200,000- bushel crop of wheat. This wheat at present market prices is worth on the farm more than $600,000, and will, accordingly, add a matter of $120 per capita to the wealth of the entire population of the county. When to this Bum is added the large amount received from the wool and livestock turned off this year, the showing will be so highly nattering that the population of the county ought to increase with a rush. The aggregate wheat yield of Morrow county is. small in com parison with that of some of tne larger counties of Oregon and Washington, but it is doubtfu whether any other county in the Pacific Northwest can show such large returns per capita from the wheat industry. Oregonian. HOP CROP WILL BE SHORT Abundant Peach Crop and Conditions Favorable for the Apple. U. 8. Department of Agriculture, cli matic and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Oregon section, for the week ending Monday, July 17. Nearly a half of an inch of rain fell in the Willamett valley during tbe latter part of the wee, and greater amounts are reported in the coast counties. Frequent rains also occurred in " the eastern section of the state. Tbe rains west of tbe Cascades have done an im mense amount of good. They will help all growing crops, especially potatoes, corn, oats and late spring wheat. Hops also will be benefited, as well as gardens and pasturage. The grain harvest has been interrupted by the wet weather, and in the coaBt counties and plateau section some cut hay will be more or less damaged, but these losses are in significant compared with tbe great good the rains have done, A sharp frost occurred Wednesdsy morning in portions of tbe Willamette valley and in some of the coast counties, but the damage was confined to tender vegeta tion and it was not seriouB, notwith standing the lateness of the season. Fall wheat is filling nicely, the heads being large and tbe berry plump. Al though very little wheat has yet been threshed, correspondents generally re port the yield to be better than expect ed. In Sherman county some complaint o( smut Is made, but generally the quality of the wheat is reported above the aveiage. Hops are do.nz nicely, but it is not expected that the yield will be quite so heavy as last year, on ac count of the long spell of dry weather. Slock continues in. excellent condi tion, but pasturage is getting short, as is nsual at this season of the vear. and the milk supply in the dairy herds has decreased slightly during the week. Peaches are ripe and plentiful, bat pples have dropped badly during tbe week, although the prospects stilt con tinue favorable for a good crop of apples of of Real Estate.

Hill was called to Walla Walla Friday morning to at tend the funeral of his father, R. J. Hill, who died very suddenly the day before of heart failure. Mr. Hill was taken ill tea days before his death, but was apparently improving up to withia a short time before he succutnmed to the dlsesse. For, many years Mr. Hill was a resi- Some people are,-going out of the cattle business now because they think there is more money in other lines. This is a grave mis take, as there is no other line business but what will have its ups and downs, and the period depression in the live stock bus e tness are less in number ana shorter in duration than in most any other business. We have pointed out many times that there is no over-production in the live stock business, but certain con ditions have had a tendency to lower the price of beef that cannot exist any lingth of time. The country is needing more beef each year and somebody must supply it. The time to stay with a bus ioess is when everybody else is qutting it. Rural Spirit. Grain Samples Wanted. Farmers, now is the time to save your best samples of grain. It will be too late a week or two from now when all the grain is harvested. The committee of the Morrow County Lewis and Clark Fair Club requests every farmer of the county who baa a good sample of wheat, rye or barley to pull it np by the roots and lay it aside until such time as is convenient to bring it to town. Each bundle should be at least eight inches in d:ameter, and should be wrapped sufficiently to prevent shattering. Tbe bundles will each be labeled w ith the name and addrets of the grower and the locality in the county from which it came. It is only a matter of a few mo ments time for each farmer to gather a nice sample of his grain and lay it aside until such time as suits his conveni ence to bring it to town. But the ex hibit must be gathered now while the grain is in proper condition to handle for exhibition purposes. We need more people to help farm our soil and improve our county and Times and Weekly Orrgonian $2. year. per rich thereby increase the value of our prop erty. To get the desired increased in population we most show them what we can produce. We can make an exhibit at the 11)05 fair that will be a credit to our county; one that will doubtless In t rest the hotnesKeker as well as the capitalist. Tne former can find no where that he can make as comfortable a home at as small a cost as here where land values are so low, and the latter can find nowhere better opportunities than are here off ered for the profitable investment of his surplus cash. The question now is will we take ad vantage of the opportunity the Lewis and Clark fair oflors us to advertise tbe resources of our county, and thus secure the necessary capital and labor to build up the county and more fully develop our varied resources, and make ns a more prosperous and contented people,
