Potato Crop Is
Half Destroyed

One-half the value of this years
potato crop has been destroyed BY
recent frosts, according to S. H.
Van Trump, county agriculture
agent, who was out inspecting
fields in the north and central
Howell districts yesterday.
The value of the crop has moi
been estimated, said Van Trump
who was unable to give any fig.
ures, but the loss has beDen tremen
dous to potato growers.
Around Mt. Angel and In the
Abiqua bottoms the potatoes were
hardly touched, though the toma-
toes on nearly all vines have been
totally destroyed.
On the ranches around SCOTS
Mills harvesting Of prunes has
commenced and gives evidence of a
fair crop. There is about one-half
a crop around Silverton, the Ital-
ian prunes showing up in the
greater majority.

The house telephone rang. "Mr.

"a man to see you Bah. Says
his name is Larrabee."
"Larrabee. Larrabee. I don't
know any one by the name of Lar

Then she turned pale and ex-
planned with a sudden intake Of
breath that put a queer little break
in her voice:
"Alix, Larrabee is Duane's at

Guard Girls
In Hop Yards

Portland, Or, Sept. 16.-Offi-
cial ehaperons for the many girls
of 10 and 16, who are employed IL
the hop yards of Oregon, are ex-
pected to be recommended as au
outcome of the survey into moral
and humane conditions in the in
/ dustry labnched by the child well
fare commission.
If possible, provision for the ap-
pointment and payment of the
chaperons will be made by state
legislation.
"At present." said Geo. Ehing-
er, secretary of the commission,
1--WE find that the majority of these
girls are practically without any
supervision. Many of them are
Portland girls who go to the yards
in groups of three and four. Their
parents do not understand the sit
uation and think they will be TAX
en- care of.
''The girls have their own tents
and do precisely as they please.
They go out to dances and come
home when they feel like it. II
they don't get back until early in
the morning no one notices 1t.
If the victims Of this system
were women of responsible age,
It would be quite another matter.
But the majority of them are mere
girls, many OF them IA or Is years
old, and few more than II. Freed
OF the guardianship to which they
are accustomed and placed In al
strange and exciting environment,
they are not in a mood to take
care OF themselves. The results
are often tragic--how often, we
will not know until the survey is
completed. But there ia enough
evidence now to show that 1t is
situation which demands imme-
diate attention"
Mrs. f. Macmillan. agent for
the commission, was to leave to-
day on an Investigation of the
hopyards In the vicinity of Port
land,
