ranch to VIM. Mcdaniel, Of Loomis,
who also has passed away. Since the
death of Mr.. Mcdaniel the property
has changed hands several times, H.
H. Granger being one of the purchas-
ers and living on it for several years.
The land is under the irrigation sys-
tem some nay land but most Of 1t

REDUCED EXPRESS RATES.

Station Agent M. L. Reed informs us
that the express company has an
nounced reduction In rates t6'raKe
effect May 81 on fruit shipments from
Oroville to Seattle The old rate was
$2.1S per 100 pounds and the new rate
will be $1.71. That is a cut of nearly
half a cent a pound, and while it
does not sound like any too liberal a
concession still, take it through the
season. the saving will amount to a
very respectable sum in dollars and
cents saved to the shipper. and every
dollar and cent saved is just so much
gain to the grower, and he is the party
to the contract who is entitled to all
the gain obtainable.

are playing crack ball this year as
might be expected as the teams are
made up almost wholly of imported
material. In the game at Tonasket
Sunday, Tonasket won against the
strong Okanogan team to 0, and that
is the first time so far this season that
Okanogan has lost out. However, all
of the clubs are so equally balanced
Judging from the games so far played
that it would be impossible to predict
at this time which one will win the

composite condition of all crops
throughout the United States aver
ages one and seven tcnths percent
below normal for this season of the
year, according to the newest in
VeStigation of the L. :. Department
of Agriculture.
a sub normal condition indicates
Il shortened harvest in comparison
with previous years which, in turn,
tends to increase prices paid to farm
ers for their products.
Farmers now are receiving twenty
two percent more for their products
than at this time last year. Tho
level of prices at the farm increased
four tenths of one percent in the last
thirty days.
In some states. the condition of all
crops is above the average for this
period. In Maryland, the condition
is reported as 10 percent above nor
NAL, in Ohio 50 percent above, In
diana 6.S, Illinois II percent, Iowa 81
percent, Nebraska percent Ken
lucky II percent and California 81
percent. These data indicate that
the harvest in these states will be
bountiful compared with last year.
In Kansas, however, the crop con-
ditlon was reuWted as sub normal to
the extent Of HI percent and in
Texas by 9.3 percent. Among other
sub normal states are these: Okla
