the ground. BY the pipe system he Is
enabled to irrigate the whole OF his
farm every "a hours.

says he has 1000 cords Of oak wood

would do this Immediately. He has
spring Of fine water The fall from his

keep good and fresh while travelling this
mile and quarter.

were extlngulshed, the mill whistle
gave the signal. In about two min

played on cutoff saws, dinner gongs

enjoy themselves for while then were

Figures From State Weather Report.

The monthly climate and crop report
issued by the weather bureau for June
contains some interesting statistics
which are furnished by the local obrerv-
er and given below:
On June 0, when we had our last kill
ing frost in the middle valley, there was
no other station in Oregon that reported
frost, but Weston reported hail on
that date, showing that the cold str alta
Of the atmosphere was lowering near
terra hrma During the month OF June
IS stations other than Hood River re-
ports killing frosts, all OF which we es-
capped. One station, Riverside, reported
frost on June Z, 10, ii, % and %.
June q, when the mercury reached
high water mark at Hood River for
June, standing at l02, there were six
other stations in Oregon reporting
higher temperature, Blalock, Gillian
Co. reaching the highest point, lO7. The
Dalles registered 80 on that date. The
mean Maximum for Hood River In June
was III, mean Minimum 50.6, mean
1913 leaving out smaller fractions. The
highest mean in the state was that OF
Riverside, 1872; the lowest, Newport on
Yaquina bay, 60; giving Hood River a
comfortable intermediate position.

The mean precipitation for al. districts
was so, or OIL below normal. All
glance at the lower line of the above
table, which shows the precipitation for
June during the past ten years as com.
pared with that OF June 1904, shows a
decrease in the precipitation,
which seems TO support the theory ad- II
vanced by meteorologisls that the de-
nuding OF our forests will diminish our
rainfall. Certainly there has not been
4 greater loss of timber in Oregon by
forest fires, nor greater activity dis
played by lumber manufacturers in One.
gon than during the past ten years, and
Is strong argument in favor Of the
protection and extension OF our forest
and as far as possible the re-
ioresting OF all our untillable lands.
