FARMERS wATcHo OUT
Time for the Blooming Of Canadian
Thistles-S Some in Benton and
Corvallis.

The attention of farmers is called
to the fact that m various parts of
Benton county there are patches of
Canada thistle, and that the time
for the plant to bloom is now almost
at hand. The thistle spreads rapid
1y, and to exterminate it is next to
impossible, so that great care should
be exercised by all ranchers on
whose property the pest appears.
only yesterday, small patch of the
plant was found in Corvallis,
and vigorous steps will be
taken by the city authorities to
stamp out the weed, as after bloom
ing time the seed will be quickly
scattered broadcast and much dam
age eventually result. It should
be the earnest aim of every farmer
to see that none of the plant is al
lowed to get foot hold on his place
and in case a patch has already
made its appearance, TO set about
at once to uproot and kill the same.
The law on the subject provides
that all road supervisors shall be
required to keep the county roads
free from the Canada thistle, and to
see that none appear in the adjoin-
ling fields; that property owners
shall rid their fields of the same
and that each incorporated towr
shall take measures to prevent the
thistle from being brought withir
the city limits, and in case such
measures are not taken then the
county shall collect from $1oo tt
$500 as a penalty for the failure oi
said town to provide such protec
ton against the pest.

KILLED PRUNES.
And the Crop Expected to be the Worst
Failure Known

Failure Known.
1t is generally conceded now
among prune men that the prune
crop of Benton county will this
year be nearer total failure than
at any time in the past. While
some of the trees were yet in bloom
Manager johnson, several weeks
ago announced that there would
not be more than one-fourth crop
in the big prune orchard. This an
nouncement was followed by a
statement from D. c. Rose that his
orchard had Jared no better. 1t
was hoped that some OF the later
blooms would help out the pros
pect, and also. that the orchards on
the uplands had escaped from in
/ jury. Disappointment followed the
first expectation, and it has since
developed that the upland Orchards
did not escape. Among others.
the crop in the orchard of Charles
Pernot is declared to be total
failure. The extreme limit of the
product on the orchard of D. c.
Rose is not expected to be over 100
bushels. In the big prune orchard
the estimate is that there will be
practically no crop. In fact there
are prune men who express belief
of a possibility that not drier in
Benton county will be in operation
this year on Italian prunes.
The accounts are. that conditions
are no better in other counties. A
representative Of a Portland house
in town the other day stated that
the Douglas county crop showed
as bad a prospect as is the case in
Benton. Polk. Washington, Yam
hill, Linn ahd other counties pre-
sent no better conditions. Marion
claims that there are crops in the
upland orchards, but Benton grow.
ers express doubt as to the truth
of the statement. In fact it is be-
lieved here that all the counties in
the valley will show the worst fail
ure of the prune crop ever known.
The condition is matter of re.
gret, not only among prune men
but among those who are pickers
in the orchards in autumn time.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Wheat-A great
deal of long wheat was sold during
the break most of it on stop-loss or

such a good buyer yesterday, but sold
quite t oday. Speculation was light
and largely professional. The South

a year ago. Exports were 10000
bushels. No new export business re-
ported at seaboard. Cash wheat slow
in all directions. Kansas City had rs
care today.
There was heavy and general selling
in corn today but no apparent liquida
northwestern holdings which the local
trade was attempting to dislodge. An
excellent cash demand developed but
old corn was scarce and held off the
market. Cash prices in car lots were
1c higher, and round lots for shipment
not available. Kansas City reported
100000 sold to Galveston for export.
