PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 6. (JP)
The summary of weather and
crop condions In Oregon for the
week ending August & was issued
today by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, weather
bureau.
The detailed report follows:
Temperatures were moderately
high over the eastern grain sec
tions during the early part of the
week but moderated toward the
close. A few light showers fell in
the eastern sections Sunday but
were of little benefit to ranges nnd
pastures. Dry land crops are suf
fering from a luck of moisture due
to light winter snowfall and spring
rains generally below normal. The
water supply on most irrigation
projects is below the average and
is faljing rapidly.
Cereals: Harvesting continues
under favorable weather conditions
with some whent over ripe. Hot
weather damage to grains during
the week was slight. Corn in all
sections needs rain.
Pears Satisfactory ,
Fruits: Pears are maturing satis
factorily in the southern fruit dis
trict. Late apples and pears are
being thinned in the Columbia
valley districts. The bulk of the
loganberry crop has been picked
and blackberries are ripening rap

HIGHWAY TO

FOR PEARS
Widening Work South of i
City Will Cease Between
1 P. M. and 4 A. M., for,
Fruit Hauling Court'
Talks Road Matters.
l-'ollowing a conference this
morning between tho county court,
L. It. Hartley, who has the con
trart fin- the oavinir nnd wiiienimr
of the I'acific highway, and a dele-J
gat ion of orchard 1st s In the
Phoenix-Talent district, beaded by j
.1. C. Panics, an agreement was '
readied whereby the fruit nieti will
be able to use the highway for
fruit hauling.
The contractor agrees to start
the dally work ut four o'clock In
the morning, and ceaso at one
o'clock. This will leave tho route
free for fruit traffic from noun
until four o'clock a. in., the hours
most satisfactory to the growers.
Tho fruitim-n feared they would
be forced to haul their pears over
the Kern valley road, which t hey
held was too rough and steep, for
the transportation of pears, with
out damaging them.
Tho pear tonnage of the district
represents a substantial portion of
the valley output, and Includes tho
Suncrest, J. I'. Harms, Ur. Spatz,
and Stephen Nye orchards.
It Is expected that the Pacific
highway main improvement will
he finished In another two weeks,
when the present traffic regula
tioiiri will be ended.
Three other road matters were
before the county court this morn
ing. The matter of establishment
of a survey for the Dead Indian
market road, to conform to statu
highway i-uIch, and tho county
engineer lines, was read for the
first time. It requires two more
readings before adoption, and will
bo one of the mujur items, In all
pro. nihility, of the 11131 road pro
gram. Neck Ittuul CluiMgo .
A dclugulJon of citizens from tho
Rogue Jtlver district, Interviewed
the Co u n ty court on the H o g u e
Hiver-drants Pa-is road. They seek
changes that will eliminate 'two
railroad crossings, place the road
out of the reach of flood waters
in the ltogue, and straighten out
tho route. No definite action was
taken.
KesldentH of the Pleasant Creek
dlHtrk-i petitioned the county court
to remove a "sag" In the road,
which they held was dangerous,
and required slow and cautious
driving to negotiate, and further
more, was slippery in tho winter.
The straightening of tho Central
Polnt-Crutcr Lake, highway road
was also a subject of slight discus
sion, one service station owner
qom plaining It hat ,1)10 new road
lines brought the road too close to
his place. The court Intimated It
would be easier to movu the ser
vice station than to alter tho sur
vey to avoid proximity.
Tho remainder of the session
was devoted to routine matters and
the signing of bills.
