THE OREGON HEN.

We have read of Maud on a sum-
mer day, who raked barefooted, the
new mown hay; we have heard of
the maid in the early morn who
MIXED the COW with the crumpled
horn; and we've read the lays the
poets sing, of the rustling corn and
the flowers of spring; but of all the
lays of tongue or pen, there's
naught like the lay of the Oregon
hen. Long long before Maud rakes
her hay, the Oregon hen begun to
lay, and ere the milk maid stirs a
peg the hen is up and has dropped
an egg; the corn must rustic and
flowers spring, if they hold their
own with the barnyard ring. If
Maud is needing a hat or gown,
she doesn't hustle her hay to town;
she goes to the store and obtains
her suit with basket of fresh hen
fruit; ifthe milkmaid's beau makes
a Sunday call she doesn't feed
him on milk at all; but works up
eggs in a custard pie and stuffs him
full of chicken fry; and when
the old man wants a horn, does he
take the druggist load of corn?
Not much He simply robs a nest
and to town he goes-you know
the rest. He fingers there and he
talks perchancs, of true reform and
correct finance, while his poor wife
stays at home and scowls, but is
saved from want by these self same
fowls for, while her husband fingers
there she watches the cackling hen
with care and gathers the eggs, and
the eggs she'll hide till she saves
enough to stem the tide. Then
hail, all hail to the Oregon hen, the
greatest blessing of all to men;
throw up your hats and make Rome
howl for the persevering barnyard
fowl! Corn may be king but it's
plainly seen the Oregon hen is the
Oregon queen

Weekly Crop and Weather Bulletin.
WESTERN OREGON.

WESTERN OREGON.
Weather.-The past week has
been the warmest so far this year,
and seldom is week so warm in
Western Oregon. The mean tenn
perature for the week, 73 degrees,
is 7 degrees higher than the pre-
ceding week; the maximum tenn
peratures averaged Sc degrees, and
the minimum 60 degrees. TEN.
peratures of from 90 to e6 degrees
occurred OH Tuesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday; cooler wealth
er began Sunday. The highest
night temperature was 90 degrees,
and the lowest Sc degrees, these
temperatures are all above the
normal and mark the maximum
summer heat. No rain fell during
the week; clouds became more
dense on Sunday. The atmosphere
is hazy and smoky; numerous for
est fires are making the smoke
more dense. The winds were
northerly to Sunday, when they
became southerly.
Crops-The warm, dry weather
was of no injury, but on the other
hand, was of great benefit to hops.
Hop lice thrive in warm, moist
weather and are killed by hot, dry
weather, hence the great benefit to
the hops in the killing of the lice.
The reports from the hopyards
indicate a great improvement in
conditions and prospects. The hop
louse continues to be very numer-
Gus, but at present no wholesale
destruction is imminent; but on
the other hand, hopgrowers are
expecting a crop greatly in excess
of the total product of 1896, and
fully as large as the largest output
heretofore made.
The harvesting OF fall and winter
sown wheat continues. Threshing
ing has commenced in some locali-
ties. The excellent reports here
tofore made concerning the fall and
winter sown grain continue; the
yield, when threshed, is fully an
average one, and the berry is very
plump and heavy. Oats is good
heavy crop, also. The warm
weather is ripening spring wheat
and oats very rapidly, and they
offer prospects for excellent re-
turns.
Peaches are ripening rapidly;
heavy crop is reported from all
sections. Shipments of apples,
pears, and plums continue. The
ruit is one of the largest ever had
N the Stale. Garden produce is
1oing we'll and is very plentiful.
Corn and late potatoes would be
benefited by rain; likewise, late or
second hay crop. The potato crop
S very heavy one.
The current weather is favorable
o everything, and is in keeping
With the conditions which have
made such bounteous crops possible.

The hopgrowers OF the William
cite valley met at Independence
under the auspices of the William
ette Hopgrowers' Association, OF
independence, Saturday afternoon,
the meeting being especially called
to consider what price should be
paid for picking. The price de-
cided on, after full discussion,
was 80 cents box of nine bushels.
There were representative growers
from all over the valley. A gener-
al exchange Of views was indulged
in, and ii was the unanimous
opinion that, at the present pros
pect OF prices, the price for picking
as decided, was all they could
afford to pay. The pickers' side of
the question was given full con-
sideration, and while it was ad-
mitted that the demand for labor
is greater than last year, the pros
pect for high price for hops is
problematical.
