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.
