The onion crop will be tbe smallest In years and of 
very poor quality, owing to drought and blight. The 
yield is estimated at 172 bushels an acre, against 213 
last year, which gives the total crop ae 1.775,000 
bushels, or about 32 per cent less than the last two 
vears. 
For all such we will get yon extra prices. We don’t 
want poor goods. Creamery butter in prints ortuosa

Wyoming Cou.vty, N. Y.-The farmers about 
here are comolatnlng of the hard times. The drought 
Is very severe. Grasshoppers and files are very 
troublesome. Barley Is a failure; oats one-balf crop; 
winter wheat a good crop; hay light. 1 wish you a 
full crop of subscribers. E. v. K. 
At a recent meeting of tbe Cape Cod cranberry 
growers the opening price of this fruit was fixed at 
$8 f. o. b. at tbe Cape. Tats Is as high as can be 
realized here, notwithstanding the demand opens 
quite brisk. There was one sale of 50 barrels at $8, 
which seems about tbe top of the market for best 
stock. Becelvers here estimate the crop at one-third 
of last year’s yield, or about 50 000 barrels. Cape 
Cod growers place the yield all the way from 30,000 
to 60.000 barrels, the latter being the highest estimate 
received from any one.

J. B. WING, Woodslde Farm, Meohanlcsburg, Ohio 
LiNN County, Oueo —We are In the busy season 
with our grain harvest. We have an abundance of 
everything but money. Plenty of grains of all kinds, 
and bay, fruit and vegetables In abundance. Small 
fruits of all descriptions do well here. We have some 
fine native fruits, for instance the Oregon Evergreen 
blackberry, the Oregon Everbearing strawberry that 
Is now giving the second crop of fine berries, and the 
Oregon Everbearing red raspberry whose fruiting 
season Is from July 15 to October 15. The Silver prune 
Is fine for canning or eating from the band, and the 
Oregon Golden prune and the Pacific are go.'d for 
shipping or drying and canning. Our apples are too 
numerous to mention. The Italian or Fellenberg 
prune grows In this State to perfectlo.n. The Wil¬ 
lamette Valley Is the mother country for this prune 
so lar as its growth Is concerned. In pears, the old 
standby, the Bart'.ett. takes the lead for size and 
flavor. The world can’t show any better Bartlett 
pears than Oregon produces. All Northern fruits do 
well In this State. The fruit business Is yet In Its 
infancy. Our fertile valleys and foothills are dotted 
with young and bearing fruit trees. w. h.
