Kerr and T. D. Hollowell and wife motored to Independence to visit friends and view the crops. They dined with Moss Walker at the Beaver Hotel and then visited Dove's Island. This was at one time the hop growing center of tie Wil lamette valley; but the hop vines are gone and sugar beets planted instead. The Grants Pass Sugar Beet Co. agreed to erect a sugar beet factory at Independence if the farmers would plant an ag gregate of 1500 acres. But after the beets were planted failed to comply with their agreement but will ship the beets to Grants Pass. They then visited Mr. Hollo- well's old-time friend, Lyman Damon, and found him working up to his knees in mud and water irrigating a five acre tract of beets. Mr. Damon said that last year he had cleaned up $3500 from hops on the land but doubted if it would yield over $500 in beets this year. Mr. Hollowell told him that he was too old and grey to be digging around in the mud on Sunday afternoon. He was pumping water from the river with an electric motor but his land was not properly prepared so as to get water to all parts alike. There is quite an acreage of beans. They examined one 100 acre tract but the prospect for bean porridge was not very flat tering. The potato crop was not looking good, although good rains might work wonders. The grain and hay crops are generally short altho some fields gave a fair yield. It is very evident that this country must conserve her food supply to feed her own people. Falls City News.

Thoroughbred stock will not stand the same amount of rough usage as the ordinary barnyard scrub. Frank Doerfler, the Silverton stock farm man, paid $820 for a fine Jersey tow at McArthur's sale in June, the highest price ever paid for a native Oregon cow. Yet he had had the cow barely two weeks when she bloated from eating clover and died. Monmouth Herald. GETS WHEAT FROM OLD STRAW A Kansas farmer noticed that when his chickens were turned loose they made a bee line for the old straw stack, and spent the day scratching happily. He investigated and found a wheat mine, which he decided was of paying quality. He had the stack threshed over again, and was rewarded with 150 bushels of grain, which he sold at $2.50 a bushel. As a result of that experiment, threshing crews have been busy the past spring and summer all through the wheat sections of the West. "Threshing outfits" have beei going from farm to farm running the straw through their machines and taking their pay as a rule, in the form of half the grain recovered. Both they and the farmers have made money, and there has been an appreciable addition to the country's wheat Bupply. Albany Democrat.

Williams Dkuq Company. WHAT IRRIGATION WOULD DO FOR THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY J. B. Lister of Hood River writes as follows to the Oregonian: "The Willamette Valley cry for rain is heard through the press. It is an annual cry. It need not occur. The growers of Willam ette should visit Bome of the ir rigated districts and learn fcow to have a bumper crop every year. "All crops are good in the Hood River valley, and are every year. We do not need rain. We have a great reservoir that sup plies moisture all the season. Years ago farmers organized and secured funds and brought Hood River to every inch of soil. They grow two heavy crops of clover, and wheat and oat hay is as abundant as ever grown in the Willamette. "But the Willamette growers have a much better opportunity than Hood River growers. (1) They have better soil. There is no better soil under the sun than in Willamette valley. (2) They have the finest flow cf water.
