PREDICT HOP YIELD SMALL
Many Yards Are Said to BE in Bad
Condition.

SALEM. May 15.-"Hop fields in the
valley are full Of missing hills and the
crop this year undoubtedly will be
smaller than last year. With this in
view. and the fact that in May con-
tracts are being written for 21 cents.
all Indications point to enormous
prices for Oregon said James r.
Linn today. Linn is a member Of one
Of the best known hop firms in the
valley
Il know personally, for instance, Of
one man who has reset 5000 hills up
to date. Practically a third OF his
yard is dead. and he has always had a
full stand before Last year the crop
was not up to the consumption and
this year it will be even smaller. In
fact, there are more hills missing this
year than for many years. perhaps
more than ever before. The upland
yards are bad. and yards that produc-
ed well last year show lots OF hills
missing"
catlin & Linn have only so acres OF
hops Of their own. and are heavy buy
ers, consequently this inforamtion IS
considered as having weight behind it.
The situation for the grower Is
better than II has been for years" Is
the way Linn summed up the situa-
tion.

SPRAY FOR COOLING MOTH
Multnomah Fruit Inspector Gives
Directions For Combating Worm.

With reference to the codling moth
or apple worm, to which apples are
subject at this season, the fruit in
spector of Multnomah County has is
sued the following:
TT is now time to spray for the
called the apple worm. The blossoms
have fallen off, and the calyx ends are
beginning to close. The first warm
night we have, the eggs will be depos-
tied in the calyx ends, and in the
poison is not in the calyx before it
closes there will be nothing to prevent
the worms when they hatch, from
working into the center of the apple
If you want to keep worms out of the
cores of your apples, spray now.
Mix your spray in the proportion of
one pound of arsenate of lead to 20
gallons of water. Before putting the
arsenate of lead into the water put
the arsenate of lead in a small pail or
vessel of some kind and work it up in
to a milky paste with warm water.
To prevent scab on the apples add to
the foregoing amount of spray one
half gallon of standard lime-sulphur
solution. Use the spray at once after
1.-The arsenate of lead spray of the
foregoing strength will kill caterpil-
lars, which are very numerous this
spring."

FESTIVE WEDDING AT ZENA
Mr.. Jesse ID. Walling and Miss Mabel
Jerman Married There.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. f..
Jerman at Zena was festive with flow
er and hospitality last Sunday after
noon, May Z, in honor of the wedding
of their daughter. Miss Mabel Jerman,
and Jesse d. Walling. The motif of
the decoration of the large living room
was the purity of white lilac and mar
cissus blossoms. A bower of a large
window was interviewer with the same,
toned with the green of ivy, and to
the strain of Lange'ss Flower Girl, the
contracting parties took their stand
under its retreat, where the ceremony
was performed by the Reverend w. T.
Scott, the pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Zena. The bride was gown
ed in simple white of embroidery and
carried a bouquet of white lilacs and
asparagus fern. which was caught
later by Miss Gertrude wallihg,
lucky contestant.
The guests were further entertained
at dinner in the dining room amid
the perfume and profusion of lilacs,
purple in decoration, where the old
fashioned hospitality found expression
in dainty dishes of savory note. Here
a special item of interest linked the
pioneer days with the present, reveal
ing the fact that the groom, Jesse
Walling. was married in the house
where, he was born. and that here, too,
was also the birthplace Of his father.
]. ID. Walling, who brought here his
bride and reared several. children
The home. once a donation claim OF
zena, has now passed into other
hands, but is still remembered as the
Walling place. The bride has also
spent the past few years in this com
munity.' and has a host Of friends in
terested in her welfare. Amid a
shower OF rice the happy couple left
the same evening for a jaunt to Port
land. to be absent for several days.

BIG POLK FARM is SOLD
BufOrd Stone Place Near Willamina
viii Be Cut Up.

Eight hundred acres of choice Polk
County land was bought last week by
the Brong-Steele Company, of Port
land, says the Oregonian, for a consid-
Grafton of about $4,000. The land is
situated five miles south of Sheridan
and about four miles from Willamina.
The farm is known as the Buford
Stone place and comprises the orig
inal donation land claim of Mr..
Stones father, with some adjoining
acreage that he purchased.
There is a good house and barn and
new tenement house on the place
and the land is almost all under cultl-
vation. The soil is especially suited
for fruitgrowing, and every foot can
be utilized. 1t is out of the frost zone.
There are several living springs on
the place, and water can be found for
wells anywhere at a depth of 20 to 25
feet.
1t is the intention of the company
to cut the farm into tracts of 40, 20
and 10 acres and sell, unless the whole
piece should be disposed of immedi-
ately. The company also owns 1900
acres in Benton County. which will be
subdivided and sold the coming sum-
mer.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, May S.--Receipts for
the week ending today have been:
134S cattle; SS calves; 1417 hogs;
4733 sheep; 33 horses and mules.
Light receipts in each division
have accounted for high range of
prices. The cattle market showed a
phenomenal line of high averages and
the cattle shipper of the Pacific North
west has in the Portland market a
greater assurance of profit than ap-
plies to any other livestock center in
the United States The Eastern pack

Portland secured supplies hung in
coolers.
The. hog market stayed very high.
There was no limit to the demand and
local offerings brought higher price
than the Missouri River markets war
ranted.
The sheep market remained firm
and strong. The mutton appetite of
the meat consumers tributary to this
market has created a demand which
the present supply of fat sheep does
not meet.
There was considerable amount of
inquiry for horses, but not much trad
ing resulted. One team of good draft
ers sold for $3.50.
The following sales are representa-
tive: Steers, $500 to 1925; cows,

Z. 1t took 12 innings of in-and-out

at the first of the sixth and held the
Tigers to two hits during the remain

sensational catch in the ninth inning
that saved the day for the Greys. In
the twelfth Fleming and w. Barham
singled, F. Boydston flew out to left,

Three Cuttings Made.

The patch was moved three times
last year. The first cutting was made
about the middle of May. to cut back
the weeds and keep them from chok-
ing the alfalfa. The plants were
small then and the tops were left on
the ground. The next cutting was
made about the first Of July, and the
third about the middle of August.
The proper time for cutting varies
with the season, but It is considered
best to do 1t when the plants are just
coming into bloom. Mr.. Peters ad-
vises stirring the soil well after each
cutting. Pasturlng the plants while
they are young, or while the ground
is wet is a great detriment
