Mr. King served in a Minnesota regiment during the Civil war. The increase in the planting of field crops is a noticeable feature this sea son in this part of the valley. The cool season and occasional rains have been favorable to an especially fine growth. Joe Hail and number of other ranchers have harvested the first cut ting of alfalfa and are noting the up ward climb of the second growth. A clover crop that G. A. McCurdy chopped down in his old orchard the other duy was a sight for yield. A passerby thought McC. would have to do like that corn grower in the middle west-pile all he could outdoors and crowd the balance into the barn. A number hereabouts enjoyed a pleasant call the other day from E. G. Walther.who is working up an acquaint ance route and incidentally saying a good word fur the Glacier. It is probable that this section will be well represented and have a grand time at the Chautauqua festival, and many rigs and faces will be turned toward the head of Hood River valley the latter part of July. Fortunate conditions combined to make this the most satisfactory berry season as to yield, that has favored strawberry growers here in many years. The uniformly cool weather with skies frequently overcast, brought the berries to full growth and fur nished steady picking. Old timers say this has been the coolest June since 1SSS, a period of 25 years. The worst drawback on the growers has been the scarcity of pickers and packers. All ranchers were short handed and eager ly gave a joh to any sort of a being who could move perceptibly, the In diansj never visited us this year. Old Chiefs Rutabaga and Opodeldoc and thier squaws had heap plenty of jobs down the valley and near their beloved hunting ground. Hood River city. Still, our ranchers contrived to make a good pick, and of excellent quality. One of them informed the writer that out of 950 crates that he packed and market ed, less than 50 crates had to go as held pick. As the prevaiilng price has all along been over $2 a crate, you can easily figure that berry culture is a paying enterprise in Hood River valley if conditions are good, even if help happens to be scarce. As to other fruit crops, the peaches and pears are looking well. Cherries will give a scant yield. Apples a fair yield. Some orchardists inform the writer that their apple yield will be heavier than last year. There were the usual busy times at Cunnings' store during the berry sea son, the pickers constantly stringing. in atfer provender and tobacco. E. A. Miller on Sunday captured a cock Chinese pheasant, by hand. The bird was disabled, probably by strking a wire fence or phone wire and was in Miller's berry held. He will be kept in a cage till he recovers. Is it true that the season for these birds in Hood River county opens in October? If so, it's a pity, as the birds are just nicely started. An open season now would clean them out of the valley. Miss Mary L. Irwin reported last week at Corvcllis, where she is to fill a positon in the department of entomol ogy, O. A. C. BELMONT. Mrs. S.
