pear to be excellent. At the present
outlook the wheat crop will bring in
hundreds of thousands of dollars
more than in previous years there is
an absolute lack of potatoes through
out the entire country, the hay supply
is about exhausted, hops are higher
in price than they have been for
years and are rising, the pear crop
will be as large as last year, apricots
and fruit of that kind will pc as
heavy if not a heavier crop than in
previous seasons because of new acre
age the apples and peaches will be
from 50 to IS pep cent of normal
crop, meat prices are bound to rise
and in cact all along the line of ac-
tivity of the various ranchers of this

good. 1t would appear that there is
reason for rejoicing.
