The  hay  crop  was  extra  heavy  here, 
and  sold  for  $10  a  ton  from  the  field. 
Oats  almost  a  failure;  many  fanners 
will  not  thrash  at  all.  I  had  11  acres 
and  had  only  four  loads  of  mighty  poor 
quality  of  oats.  Beans  also  a  poor  crop. 
The  hard  frost  of  Sept.  2  cut  them  badly 
as  it  also  did  Corn.  Beans  are  retailing 
at  12c  a  pound.  Potatoes  were  late 
planted  owing  to  wet  weather.  Then 
came  the  long  spell  of  dry  and  hot  weath¬ 
er  so  that  there  are  no  potatoes  yet,  but 
we  have  hnd  some  nice  rains  just  now 
and  if  frost  does  not  come  again  too 
soon  wo  may  have  some  potatoes  yet. 
They  bring  $1.75  to  $1.80  per  bu.  now. 
Buckwheat,  was  a  failure  too,  owing,  I 
suppose  to  the  same  weather  conditions. 
Milk  $1.60  per  hundred  at  Merrill,  Soule 
Co.  plant.  They  do  the  hauling.  But¬ 
ter  38c.  Cows,  fresh  milkers,  from  $70

Potatoes  are  nut  very  good;  there  will 
probably  be  enough  for  home  use.  Corn 
is  too  late  to  count  anything  more  than 
a  short  crop.  Hay  was  mostly  cured  in 
good  condition.  Wheat  was  a  short  crop, 
though  some  fields  were  fairly  good.  Not 
much  dairy  business  done  here,  although 
we  have  a  creamery  in  Astoria  that  seems 
to  he  doing  a  good  business.  ti.  f.

Since  the  rains  have  come  the  apple 
crop  is  improving  very  fast ;  will  he 
far  better  than  last  year,  when  there 
were  hut  very  few  on  account  of  Spring 
frost.  Potatoes  very  poor  crop.  Hay 
and  honey  the  best  in  2ft  years,  flats 
and  buckwheat  not  very  good.  Corn  fair.
