' ' The paBt year, with its unusual cli matio conditions, has been marked by a signal negleot of tillage operations in the orohards of the state. One result of this has been the formation of an ex tra large amount of fruit wood and buds, and under ordinary conditions, next spring there will set a very much greater amount of fruit than will be best for both the interest of the tree and the orchardist. The- orchard should receive a judicious, yes, a.vig ous pruning this winter, to the "end that liberal thinning of fruit spurs shall be had, otherwise the more expensive work of hand thinning must be done or else there will be produced a mass' of small inferior friut for which no mar ket can be found, and as too often oc curs, the larger part of the crop be comes a watae. Now. is the time to make a thorough examination of the trees; study the various" systems of pruning ; and " the ends they are sought to reaoh. Watch the inseot and fungous foes and the climatio effects upon the fruit and foliage buds, and with the opening of spring be prepared to give the orchard a vigorous but judicious pruning and j then follow this with generous tillage oi me son. uniy unaer conaiwras like these can we expect to get the best of returns from the orchard next year, under the usual Oregon climatio condi tions.

The Oregon agricultural experiment station at Corvallis has issued a pam phlet in which it presents the conclu sions reached after five years of investi gation concerning beet sugar produc tion in Oregon. It says three sections of the state , are exceptionally well adapted to the industry, viz.: Union county in the vicinity of La Grande; Malheur county, in.the vicinity, of On tario, and Arcadia; Jackson county, in the violnity of Medford, possessing' as it does a large area capable of produc ing ' a very large supply of ; beets. Water, fuel and limestone . are ' easily and oheaply obtainable in each lo cality. ,;s-v:i .. "' V" The most serious obstacle in any of these localities is the limited number of people available for field help at short notice, especially would this be true in Malheur county. ; . - Western Oregon is, not well adapted to the industry on account of the early fall rains and a soil which is very heavy and sticky, and tenacious to the beet when wet, and it also lacks a cheap lime supply. V- V . ,t Beet growing in Malheur . county would have to be under a system of ir rigation similar to that in Utah. , ' ' It beets are planted in the middle of April either in eastern or southern Ore gon nothing is gained by; delaying har vest later than the first week in . September.- . - ', ". ' -?; '" . The Original Klein Wanzlebener and the Elite Klein .Wanzlebener have "proven themselves well adapted to the conditions in the Grande. Konde valley, and have both given good results in Jackson county, i The former has given the better results in the . latter . place.. Eaoh has given better results in each place than the Vilmorin. , . : . , In eastern Oregon beets may be left In the ground quite late without seri ous loss from second growth. - Beets for sugar production should not be planted on alkali soils. -. Beete may be allowed to grow much larger here than in Germany and still hold an exoellent per .. cent of sugar. The hill lands of Jackson county are not well adapted to the industry. ; The establishment of a sugar factory makes possible a most excellent oppor tunity for a high development 'of the dairy industry. This is of no mean consequence when it is remembered that all three of the localities which present favorable conditions for the in dustry produce immense quantities of alfalfa, and yet ship in dairy products in large amounts. ".Why not produce them at home and supply the neighbor ing sections? - The establishment of a sugar factory means also the development of a large fuel and lime industry. . - ( Waverly Sugar Factory. . The new sugar factory at Waverly, Spokane county, Washington, began operations December 6. This is the first beet sugar factory to be built ia this state, and the seoond in the Pacific Northwest. The farmers in the vicinity of the factory raised about 400 acres of beets this year, the yield being 4 to 12 tons per acre. D. C. Corbin, of . Spo kane, owner of the factory is paying $4 per ton for beets containing 12 to 14 per cent of sugar and 83 1-3 cents per ton additional for each per cent of sugar avove 14. The average price for the entire crop is about $4.50 per ton. Taking the average yield" as eight tons, half, way between the extremes, this would give a gross return of $38 per aore. The cost per .acre of , the beets delivered at the factory is in the neighborhood of $25 to $30.- ' This leaveB some profit to the average beet grower, and . considerable : to those whose beets give . yields of . 10 or 12 tons per acre. Another year, when the fanners know more of beet culture, and are in position to give ' their crops the attention they need, better results may fairly be expected. This Is the beginning of an industry - which will, if successful, become an important feat ure of Eastern Washington agrioulture. It will give the farmers of the Palouse country a profitable crop to grow in rotation, with wheat. When the farm ers have learned the' value of sugar beet pulp as a stock feed, it will also doubtless result in an increase - of live stock on the wheat ranches in the vi cinity of the factory. - - ' . . y - Northwest Notes.

One of them, a peddler, was robbed by high waymen a few days ago. Sometime previous another peddler had mysteri ously disappeared, and they now think he was murdered and robbed, as he was known to carry quite a sum of money. So now the colony is raising a fund to pay for a search for the , missing ped dler 's body and discover in what man ner he came to his death , " Tekoa gralndealers are in a pool, and refuse to sell wheat for less than 10 cents per busbeL TRADE QUIETING DOWN. ' s: : ". : Undisturbed, However, by an Unfavor able Money Situation.; t -.' . Bradstreet's says: General trade in wholesale and manufacturing lines is quieting down, but it is worth noting. It is undisturbed by the money situa tion, the influence of which has been confined to speculative circles. Holi day trade, on the other hand, has heen given a deoided impetus, and compari sons with the same period of preceding years are uniformly favorable, ..little doubt remaining that although retail, trade in seasonable lines has been af fected in some localities by unfavor able weather, holiday specialties have enjoyed exceptional activity..-.'.

Raw cotton is firm and unchanged on the week, partly owing to the light re ceipts and to reaffirmation of a short crop estimated by the department of agrioulture. Manufactured goods, where not advanced, are firmly held.; ..

Since July 1 this season, the exports of wheat aggregate 97,559,926; bushels against 109,720,853 bushels last year and. 118,809,197 bushels in 1898-99. Business failures in the United States for the week were only 210 as com pared with 220 , last week, 234 in this week a year ago, 283 in 1897, and 359 in 1896.

The young man who seeks a bride first obtains the" favor of her parents and then pursues her, catching her in his arms. 7 She breaks loose and runs, and does not yield until he has caught her several times. Finally he leads her in triumph to her home. ; Here the .father drags the youth up a ladder to ' the , floor of their hut. The mother drags, up the maiden. They are made to kneel, and the father pours over them a cocoanut shell full of water He then bumps their heads together, and the ceremony is completed. They spend their honey moon in, the depths of the jnountains, and for five days and nights are lost to sight, after which they come back to everyday life. Then there is another marriage custom. " Instead of the youth and maiden being dragged : up the hut.; ladder, , they are , made to climT) two sapplings that grow near each other. Then an elder of the group grasps the sapplings and draws them together until the .heads of the young couple touch, with a . kiss or bump, according to the force used. This makes them man and wife.
