only conclusion to be drawn is that the cities in the Eastern League are not large enough to supportg bhe high salarted clubs that the magnates have been carrying.
 Pittsfield has had a poor year but as prvious seasons have been suc- cessfu1 the owners were not hard hit as elsewhere. The attendance in the Berkshires has been up and down all season. It is believed the low rec ord crowd of the year saw a recent game there between the Hillies and Worcester. Fifty-three fans paid ad- missions.
 It means that next year there will have to be a cut in salaries and the admission pri ces we'll. President t an O'Neil is said to have been. quietly Investigating the reports that the sal ary limit has been exceeded by sev- oral clubs and is taking steps to see that theer is no repetition next year.
 Running minor league ball clubs with major leagues ideas is com mendable until it empties the pocket book.

COLD WEATHER AND LACK
OF RAIN RETARDS WHEAT.

The condition of wheat Mt present
in Umatilla county is giving farmers
something to think about, and the
trend of their thoughts is not In par
ticularly pleasant channels.
The weather man is responsible
for their worries. There has been II
polite but insistent clamor on the
part of wheat growers all fall for
more rain. Notwithstanding this cla-
NOR, tho fail has been Il very dry
one. Now comes some hard freezes,
and the grain is not in good condi-
tion to withstand the attack from
both cold and drought.
The chief drawback to the present
weather, according to Fred Bennion,
Is that IL holds back the growth Of
the grain. Whore wheat has been
mp for some time and is well root
ed, the cold does not prove a hind
rance, but there is n large acreage
Of wheat in the county that has only
recently been seeded and the grain
is either in the sprout, or If up, the
plants are very small.
The chief needs are warmer wea-
thcr and more moisture. There is a
considerable acreage which has not
yet been seeded.
