ier. This JustIties estimate of larger
total output of cured prunes for Wasco than
that given in the last issue of the North

the yield of wheat and oats, is tnat the |
work of the wheit aphis reduced the yield |
about one-thIrd. Wheat will not come up |
to the standard of weight OF former years
either. The aour making qualities the
mIllers say, however, are not injured.
