have just completed the work. The con
tract called for two couta of paint oa the

the acre, and has buen pronounced first
class In quality, each full aack weighing
140 pounds. Mr. Courter hns sold his
grain to A. Walker at 0 centa. lone
l'ost.
The unusually large yield, combined
with the Increased acreage of wheat
over previous yeara, la caualng some
peculation among Morrow county farm
era In regard to securing machinea to
thresh their grain In due season. The
only way out of the difficulty, it seems,
will be to buy more machines. Most of
the farmers bave finished beading, and
what threahera there are in the county
re busy; but it is feared that there are
pot euough of tbein to handle the grain.

Summary of Crop Bulletin.
Tbe past week has been dry, warm,
and In poat sections quite smoky. The
grain harvest baa proceeded nninter
ruptedly, and In tbe Willamette valley
and tbe southern part of the state mc t
of the fall grain has been threshed. Fall
wheat yields east of the Cascades con
tinue excellent, but in tbe Willamette
valley and Southern Oregon only an
average crop haa been secured. Early
seeded spring wheat mad a good crop,
and that seeded late is turning out bet
ter tban was expected, notwithstanding
that much of it has already been cut
for bay on account of the etraw being
too short to be harvested with binders.
Oats are below the average in quantity.
Barley yields are variable, but mostly
good. The quality of all grain thia year
is better than usual.
Pasturagi is getting very short and
the milk supply in the dairy districts is
diminishing, flop burs are forming
nicely and the vines continue free of
lice. It is expected that even with fav
orable weather from now on the hop
ciop will be smaller tban last year, not
withstanding the increased acreage
Corn ia doing nicely but it would be
benefited by rain, while potatoes and
gardona are actually suffering for mois
ture: late Dlan ted notataoa m-,'11
ever, turn out well if good rains occnr
within tbe next two weeks. Early ap
ples, Crawford peacbes and blackber
ries are ripe and being marketed.
The Margarita Fischer Co.
The four nights' engagement of the
Margarita Fischer company, which
closed Saturday night, waa not a success
financially, although the performances
were good. The reason waa that so
many people were out of town, and the
weather waa too warm for many that
were here to remain indoors during a
performance.
"Leah the Forsaken" waa presented
was presented Saturday evening in a
manner that delighted all present. The
play waa an interesting one from start
to finish, calling for strong characters in
every part, and it is only fair to state
that Misa Fischer's company made a very
clever presentation and waa deserving
of a full house.
