Someone returning from a dance the
other night, by some means got rid of
one wheel of the buggy. Dancing is

young people and parents.
Word comes from one hop yard that
there was danger of a shooting scrape,
and that one man was knocked on the
head with a rail and another severely
beaten. When will men learn that arbi
tration or anything else is better than
brute force to settle disputes.
The demand for draining tile is increas
ing every year as our farmers become
alive to their own interests. Our tile
factory is adding to its facilities, and a
car load of tile left for Hood River this
week, and more to follow. The very clay
of old Yamhillis ahead when manipulated
by brains.
The lovely Indian summer weather of
the last week has helped out the farmers
and hop growers. Threshing is almost
done and hop-picking in the late yards
will likely be over by the 30th, if this
weather holds out. Hops are still in fair
condition, and any doubtful hills are be
ing left, but the quality will not be all
first-rate. The grain, with the exception
of some oats, will mostly pass as first-rate,
and none lost so far.
The roads leading to town from the hop
yards are not ns pleasant to travel over as
usual, owing to the fact that some of our
strangers who are helping gather the hop
crop seem to forget the dignity that ought
to pertain to man and womanhood and
American citizenship, and their appear
ance and actions would lead one to be
lieve they had been drinking something
stronger than water. Our roads are only
sixty feet wide, and ought to be made
broader or the license of some of the citi
zens curtailed. The hop business may
be good to bring in money at times, but
the final reckoning may prove that we
would be better without it.

WEEKLY CHOP BULLETIN.
P ortland , Sept. 20, 1897.
Except on Tuesday when scattered
showers occurred, especially in the
southern counties, fair weather has
prevailed with higher temperatures.
The
first light frosts
were
observed on the morning of the
15th. The mean temperature of the
week, 65 degrees, is 6 degrees higher
than for the preceding week. The
maximum temperature averaged 79
degrees,and the minimum 50 degrees,
the highest maximum, 88 degrees,
occurred on Saturday, and the low
est minimum, 42 degrees, occurred
on Wednesday. The total rainfall
varied from a trace to 0.10 of an
inch. The winds were generally
northerly, and the atmosphere was
very clear.
The weather was favorable for
threshing, hoppicking, fruit-drying,
plowing and seeding. The rains the
fore part of the month did little real
damage to the wheat, and reports at
hand show no total loss; some wheat
and oats sprouted, some were
bleached, but the dry weather com
ing at an opportune time allowed of
practically no damage to the grain
crop. Threshing has been actively
prosecuted and is nearly all done.
About one-third of the hop crop
has not been picked and is lost—due
to lice in the first place, and second
ly, and the main cause, to the rainy
weather producing mold. The hops
are now practically all picked, and
the drying will be finished before
the close of the month. The rain
caused the petite prunes to crack
open, but drying being active, little
loss resulted. The prune crop is re
ported to be the largest ever pro
duced in the state, and of extra
quality.
Grapes are ripening nicely; they
are a larger and much better crop
than usual. Wine-making has com
menced.
Figs have ripened in
Curry county, and it appears that
they can there be grown with profit.
The apple crop is very heavy. The
flax crop for fibre has been safely
gathered, and is now being pre
pared.
Potato digging is in progress and
large yields are reported. Carrots,
onions, sugar beets, etc., are re
ported to be immense crops. The
experiments have demonstrated the
successful growth of sugar beets
containing a very high percentage of
saccharine matter.
The soil is in fine condition for
plowing and seeding, both of which
are being pushed vigorously. The
second crop of clover is being cut.
The pastures are again green and
stock is assuming a prime condition.
Everything this year has been suc
cessful except hops, and even that
crop is good where it was properly
attended to.
