Wheat Crop Is Extra Good.

The Climate and Crop Bulletin for
Tuesday, July %, reports general con
ditions In the state as follows:
The past week was the hottest Of the
season, and no rain of consequence
occurred in any part of the State.
Fortunately, the wind was generally
light and the wheat crop suffered but
little damage. In the Grand Ronde
valley and in some of the Columbia
river counties east of the Cascade
mountains late sown spring wheat was
damaged by the hot weather and will
probably be cut for hay. The bulk OF
the crop, however, Is safe, and both
spring and fall wheat are now being
ct as rapidly as possible. Thrashing
will begin in the willamette valley
this week. All indications point to
an extra good crop of wheat, both
as to quantity and quality.
Pasturage is getting short, but stock
continues In good condition. The
flow Of milk Ia decreasing in the dairy
districts, but not more than usual at
this season of the year. The second
crop of alfalfa Is being cut, and the
crop promises to be about an average
one. Hop burs are forming and the
vines are growing nicely. Hop lice
are still to be found, but they are less
numerous than formerly. Corn, po-
tatoes and gardens have made good
advancement, but these crops would
be improved by more rain. EARLY ap-
pies are ripe. Prunes, pears and
peaches are doing we'll.

WascO's New Water System.

Wasoo may well feel pride In it,
development, its water system and
sewerage, says the Moro Observer. A
flowing we'll, drilled to the depth OF
l20 feet, discharges into dug well
l6x34, from which the water Is ele-
waited by duplex pump, driven by a
Is horse power gasoline engine into a
reservoir 2l5 feet above the city, with
a capacity for 1870, 900 gallons, distrib-
uted through 1900 feet of machine
banded stave pipe, makes the water
system. The reservoir is Of concrete
walls, covered with brick arches,
which insures cool water In hot
weather. Twenty first class hydrants
have been placed throughout the sys-
TEN and five streams can be placed on
u fire at one time, thus assuring good
fire service. There will be pressure
Of 20 to 100 pounds to the square inch
down town on all water pipes. The
sewerage system Is equally perfect.
One main sewer one mile long and
300 feet Of lateral sewers make this
system. The aggregate expense of
these works Is little more than SIT, =
600 cash, on the bonds of 800, 600 vot-
cd by the taxpayers.
Mears x Gould of Hood River had
the contract for building the new sys-
TEN.

to them. Forty years makes "A big

this country any where east OF the
Rockies. Oregon can look for a big
price for apples this year. Labor
isn't anything here, only sl.50 day

Well, huckleberrIes are ripe and
many are going onto the mountains
to pick them. / am on my grand
fathers old farm today, where ! was
born 81 years ago, and have been Al
years from it. The old orchard is
dead; old buildings gone and new
ones built, but my fathers house
which he built 80 years a 20 is left yet,
adjoining this farm and orchard.
They have done away with road fenc-
es in this country. All lay the com
mons now but have pretty good roads.
Yes, some of my relatives are rich,
and some are as poor as am. When
| tell the people about our berries
and apples and wages, they think J
am telling some big ones. So | have
to take the Glacier and show them
that / am not prevaricating. Then it
makes some of them almost crazy to
go west and lots of them say they will
be there next spring il they live that

1t is estimated that the loss to the
apple crop of this country from the
codling moth reaches at least SO, 600, .
600 annually, while other orchard
fruits suffer equally, making total
loss of % per cent of the entire fruit
crop, counting both large and small
fruits. While all of this damage is
suffered, there are about IS, 30, 600
