Willamette Valley Crops.
The exceptionally favorable train
outlook in i' anient Oregon, unfor
tunately dot's not hold pood
throughout the Willamette Valley,
says the Kveninji Telegram, whore,
in many localities, the yield of
grain, especially wheat, will !o
light. lWibly thin ia not un
fortunate either; the sooner farmers
of the greater part of the, Willam
ette Valley quit raising grain for,
export, the sooner will tlmir con
dition improve and their prosperity
increase. In some portions of tin
Willamette v alley, esjaH-inll
ly in
l.i.m
Marion, I oik, l&mliill and
counties, fair crops of grain can
still he raised good crops, perhaps,
with care in cultivation: hut most
parts of the Willamette Valley are
Kilter adapted to other purposes
stockraising, dairying, hopr&ising
and horticulture. A largo amount
of grain can bo profitably raised,
but not to put directly under the
market; the profit will Ih found in
ceding it to various kinds of stock
cattle, horses, sheep and hogs,
Oradually tho fanners ol the Y u-
aniette Valley are perceiving that
diversified farming and agricultural
industries, other than grain raising
are the means by which they will
)tst thrive. I hey cannot produce
mil tho wheat per acre that the
iHise, volcanic soil of the plains,
enches and foothills overlooked by
tho Blue mountains in Pastern Ore
gon yield; but I hey have opportun
ities in other directions that nre
not so naturally open to the fann
ers of tho Eastern Oregon and Kant
em Washington wheat belt. These
opportunities they must improve,

If any one desires to grow his

ing to any dry soil a thorough pul
verialion and fertilization with da-

comweil stable manure, nave
the surface even,-and plant about
the time of planting beans, getting
frenh unbaked nuts, which shouii
be removed from the shell. Plant
in hills from 21 to 3 feet apart
with two kernels to a hill, so as to
nsure at least one plant to every
till. The surplus can be trans
ilantod. When they come up keep
the land clean by hoeing. When
tliev begin to run and show blos
soms the vines and blossomsshould
io covered with earth, to theuepth
of about an inch, leaving the -end
of the vines just out of the ground.
i tls good cultivation the vines
will grow rapidly and the earthing
irocess must 1h) continued. lltfy
will continue to grow until frost
comes, ainl then they should be
i fled from the ground. Leave the
nuts clinging to the vines, in which
condition they must bo thoroughly
ried. Do not let. them mold.
With good culture and luck a quart

to grow their own peanuts, cither

The Po-dmaster's Salary.
l'o the editor:
In an editorial In last week's i
mo of the West Side, In reyard to
a reduction of tho iKistninstor's sal
ary at this place, it it reasonable to
suppose that tho ret'tiction was
caused by a falling off In the busl
iicsb of tho office, as wa so stated,
and In the absence of any other
nunon is the only Inference one
could draw. Hut that is not the
reason. The business of the oihee
has M fallen off. The receipts are
over $2 1(K), Hut in consequence of
the rohbury of the stamps, we were
compelled to buy $75 wjrth of
stamps from other odieoB Vntil we
could get them front the Govern
ment This we did -on advice of
tho postofllco Inspector; and if tho
department at Washington sees fit
to reduce tho salary on that account
they will do bo, hut it will not 1
for the reason of falling off in busi
ness, because it has not. And if
any one wishes to buy their stamps
at other ollices, they have a right to
do 19, and there will be no kick
coming or going from me.
