Oregon State items OF INTEREST
APPLES SELL HIGH.
Fancy Hood River spitzenbergs Bring
$3.50 Per Box,

Hood River-The apple picking has
come to an end in Hood River valley
for the year 1909, and several crews
are busy at present packing the fruit
for market. A number of the larger
growers have concluded their packing
and their fruit has been hauled to the
cold storage plant in the city, await
ing shipment to New York. The union
is sending out several cars each day,
consigned to Steinhardt & Kelly, who
purchased the entire crop of fancy
stock. The fancy Spitzenbergs were
sold to the New York firm for $3.35
per box, and since this deal was made
the Davidson Fruit company of this
city has paid as high as $3.50 per box
for fancy Spitzenbergs. The fruit in
Hood River valley this season has
been of a higher standard than any
marketed in previous years. There has
been a noticeable decrease in rust and
other infections that mitigate in pro-
ducing lower grade of apples. The
season s profit is very satisfactory, not
withstanding the fact that the crop
was cut little short.

Experiment Farm for sherman.

Wasco - Realizing that something
must be done to conserve the native
fertility of their soil and knowing that
the continuous cropping to wheat will
eventually rob the soil of the active
principles promotive of vegetable life,
the farmers of Sherman county have
secured the assistance of the federal
government and of the state expert
ment station in an effort to establish
an experimental farm for Eastern Ore
gon in Sherman county. They have
purchased 240 acres of average land
near Moro, the county seat, and H. j.
G. Umberger, an expert in dry farm
ing methods, has been appointed to
take charge of the farm.

FEWER SHEEP ON RESERVE.
Cut of Nearly 1000 Made in Whitman
National Forest.

Pendleton-As a result of the confer.
enee between Forest Superintendent
Ireland of the Whitman reserve and
the advisory board of the wool growers
nearly 1000 less sheep will be allowed
on the forest ranges next year than
this. The cut is graduated one and
does not affect the small sheepman,
but the large owner suffers consider
ably.
The cut is as follows:
The man who owns 1900 or less will
not be subjected to a cut; owners of
between 1900 and 1000 will be cut 10
per cent, providing the cut does not
bring his allotment below 1900; own
ers of between 1000 and 5000 will be
cut Is per cent, providing it does not
reduce the number below 1000, and
owners of more than 1900 will be cut
20 per cent, providing it does not bring
his number below 5000. The total
number of sheep allowed on the reserve
is reduced from 1884, to 10000.

IRRIGATION IN KLAMATH.
Nearly 10000 Acres Now Under Sue

klamath Falls-During the past IL
months between 10000 and 10000 acres
of land have been placed under irriga-
tion bitches in this section, while the
population of the irrigated districts has
more than doubled. Unirrigated lands
have advanced from So to $40 an acre,
and it is certain that values will go
much higher with the approach of the
Oregon Trunk line, which, in it's ar
ticles of Incorporation, makes klamath
Falls its terminal
About 100 homes have been built in
Klamath Falls, while the country round
about has made a wonderful develop

spring brought no boom, but there has
been a steady movement in farm lands.

Largest wheat Acreage in HISTORY.

Athena-The number of acres being
seeded this fall in this district will
surpass by far the record for previous
years. This has been an unusually dry
fall up to the past two weeks, which
has put the farmers late in killing the
weeds and seeding the extra acreage
Every hand and team available are at

Henlock.

My conclusions regarding the growth
of timber are as follows:
Red fir will attain an average diam
eter of l6 to Is inches in 40 years; hem
lock a diameter of IS to 90 inches in the
same length of time. The growth of
the timber examined by me is about two
inches in diameter during the past 10
years for trees 40 to so years old, and
one inch in diameter for trees 125 to
25O years old. The growth on trees 400
years old is hard to read without a
glass.-The Timberman.

Taft for Fighting Navy.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 22.-"The navy
should not only be worth securing, but
should be able to fight. :" President
Taft aroused enthusiasm today by max
ing this statement in an address be-
fore the Atlantic Deeper-W Waterways
association convention. The president
declared Hampton Roads and Chesa-

Both men are alleged to have per-
mitted the spiriting away of the books
that were under subpoena. Baglin
testified before the grand jury that he
had overheard Robinson and one OF
the Heinze brothers conspiring to re-
move the books and had interposed no
objections.
