arc being received in Portland in car­
load lota while the farmers in the im­
mediate vicinity of the city, as those
tributary to the railroads leading to
this market, cannot find a market for
their produce at any price has led the
Portland Realty Board to actively take
up the question of establishing public
markets where gardeners and farmers
may dispose of their products direct to
the consumer with great benefit t o
both. It ia stated that the fact that
farmers cannot sell their own crops In
Portland without a license, and the
further fart that the commission men
will not buy from him except at their
own prices, is causing many farmers to
allow fruits and vegetables to go to
waste rather than dispose of them at a
loss.

PLOW UNDER YOUR
SPOILED HAY
Attention has recently been called,
by the Oregon Agricultural College, to
the fact that many farmers who are so
unfortunate as to have hay injured or
spoiled by rain are making the mistake
of either burning it in the field or al­
lowing it to rot in piles. It is stated
that spoiled clover or alfalfa hay is
worth $8.50 to $10.00 per ton as ferti­
lizer if evenly spread over the fields
and plowed under, and that every ton
of hay so worked into the soil is approx­
imately worth four tons of fresh ma­
nure. A ton of clover hay contains 40
pounds of nitrogen, 5 pounds of phos­
phorus and 30 pounds of potash, which
if, purchased in tbe open market would
cost the farmer about $10.50, and as
clover and vetch is yielding about 2£
tons per acre this season, the plowing
under of the spoiled hay adds a fcrtil
h er value of not less than $25 to each
acre.
STREET FIGHT LAST
SATURDAY NIGHT
A very unfortunate occurence hap­
pened last Saturday night when a
■i
prominent ex-business man of Stayton
and a young man of one of the promi­
nent families of town became engaged
in a street brawl that terminated in a
! street fight.
It is understood that a preliminary
hearing will be held at an early date,
to try and acertain certain facts rela­
tive to the fight that are not as clear
as might be. We expect to reoort the
> case in detail when it comes to trial.
