Risley, of Milwaukie, who is one of the successful farmers of Clackamas county, was in town Monday. Mr. Ris- ley says that his hops and other crops look well. He sowed a lot of blue stem wheat, that brings two cents more per bushel than any other wheat raised in Eastern Oregon, but it is growing so rap idly that he is afraid the stalks will fall over before it matures. Mr. Risley be lieves in producing timothy and rye hay mixed. He starts his mixed hay crop by sowing the timothy in the fall, and along in February scatters the clo ver seed broadcast over the ground. This makes a hay mixture that proves an ad mirable feed for horses and other stock, making the animals sleek and healthy and giving it a great advantage over timothy alone. Besides the clover roots prove to be of advantage to the soil, making tending to make it more mel low and possesses more enriching quali ties to the soil than timothy. He pro. 'duces four tons of hay to the acre, mak ing the extra ton by the addition of land plaster. After the ground is planted to hay for three years, it is plowed up and cultivated in corn or potatoes. J. L. Mattocks, of New Era, who does mixed farming, is a great advocate of raising ryefor stock feed, and cons iJers chopped rye the greatest thing out as a feed for horses. It produces about 25 bushels to the acre, and is always a sure crop. Some Marion county hop growers are making efforts this year to improve the crop. Many of the growers are only training two vines instead of three as 1 formerly. This gives opportunity for plenty of sunshine, which tends to keep away lice and mold, thus producing a better quality of hop. AMONG THE LODGES. PROBATE COURT.
