COUNTY BATTLE
The Jackson County weed control
campaign has bogged slightly, due to
the rains and highly favorably grow
lng conditions for weeds, according to
County Agent Robert O. Fowler.
"There never was a better year for
weeds," Fowler said. "There la wild
mustard six feet tall, and still grow
ing. Other noxious growth are malt
ing similar upward strides. There 1
a record stand of weeds." -
The county concentrated its weed
war this year on "white top," and
some progress was made, despite the
fact the rains washed awa ythe chem
ical spray almost u fast a It could
be applied. Fowler said.
Outside of the weed problem, or
chard blight and one-third of the
bay crop of this section, being dam
aged by rains, crop conditions look
bright, according to Fowler.
Fowler summarized the outlook aa
follows:
Much of the fall wheat, flattened
by rain, can be salvaged;
Excellent range conditions for sum
mer grazing;
Picking of cherries will start In a
week, with a larger crop than lait
year, when It waa hit by frost. Some
cracking of cherries due to rain, re
ported, but la not extensive. Bulk of
the cherry crop Is In the Ashland
Talent district.
Turkey production estimated at
45.000 birds.
Blight prevails, principally in sec
ond bloom Bartletts, with sunshine
needed to effectively check It. Rain
and moist conditions have augmented
blight.

Roosevelt's supreme court bill was
In the record today as commence
ment activities continued on the
Yale campus.
In his final baccaleureate address

Dr. Angell charged that "the national
government has appeared as a par
tisan" In the present labor conflict
and asserted the supreme court bill
Is a meana to abet a "rape of the
constitution."
He contended that the natlona
peace and prosperity Is imperilled
and urged that moral, political 'and
spiritual values be salvaged "If de.
