The successful farmers in that part of
the county west of the Willamette are,
as a rule, hard workers and good man
agers, with a practical knowledge of
agriculture acquired by years of experi
ence. This is the only kind of farmer
that can survive the class struggle. The
unenergetic, aimless man, however op
right he may be, isn't iu it. The day
when any one can conduct a farm is past.
The successful farmer is not a whit be
hind the successful merchant or lawyer,
iu intelligence, and he cannot afford to
be.
The black worm, about an inch and a
half in length, that has invested the
clover fields in the Frour Pond bottom
lands, has created some alarm. In
fields from which the hay has been cut,
it devours the leaf of the clover p'ant,
leaving the stalk bare.
In Pleasant Hill several. farmers have
signed contracts to plant a specified
number of acres with beets. Possibly
contractors would have been few and far
between if the clause in Ibe contract bad
been duly considered whii h stipulates
that the statement of the sugar factorv
people in regarl to the percentage of su
gar in beets, shall be final, thus placing
the grower at the mercy of the factory
in fixing the price per ton, from if 3 to $5,
according to the percentage of sugar.
The manager or ownerof the machine
ry, who is an Ohio man, expects the
immigration ;of 300 German families
next spring (and 300 families laler on)
to work in the beet fields. They will be
experts in beet culture, but" the farmer
'who de.sires to bring the profitableness
to him, of their work, within the range
of possibility, will, during the fall, plorc
the laud intended for beets several times
to kill the weeds and to make the soil
loose and mellow. A beet that grows
partly out of the ground is said to con
tain no sweetness, it having been cooked
out by the suu. No one in the commun
ity is jubilant over the prospective prof
its to be derived from beet farming. One
thing is plain, that it will be the means
of uumping into the Willamette vallev a
targe amount of white labor-power, that
must necessarily be cheap labor, for it
is probable that the profits on the beets,
beyond the necessary labor and expense
of the farmer himself, will leave but
small wages for the laborer, who, by the
way, will be a competing factor in the
general labor market two-thirds of the
year. Any way, the sugar-beet enter
prise is taid to be a good thing all
around.
The prospect is that the hop crop will
De good, laundry growers sold last vear'i
crop for 3 cents ; as it costs about 5 cents,
without counting the farmer's labor.
to put the hops in the bale, they neces
sarily got in a "hole." It seems queer
that a Chinaman cannot manage a hop
yard as cheaply as a white man. The
fact appears to be that the coolies whom
the Chinese farmer employs are less ca
pable than white laborers, though the
iormer demand the same wages as the
latter. There is no part of the valley that
can excell the rolling land of Pleasant
Hill, with its light-red soil, in the pro
duction of hops of a fine quality, Here,
too, the grower is not so apt to be put to
the expense of spraying as he is in the
lower and richer bottoms.
Ihe almost total failure of the wheat
here will work a hardship on the farm
ers, and, in consequence many of them
will be very short of cash. The renters
oi those badly in debt will not be able to
meet their obligations. The oat crop, al-
so, is poor.
It is stated that the freight charges
on the machinery of the sugar factory,
from the East, will be $40,000. This
would represent about 3,000,000 pounds,
or about 60 carloads.

Interesting Facts About Sweet Pota
to Growing In New Jeraey,
The reputation of New Jersey sweet
potatoes Is well established, and one of
the widely known varieties is the Jersey
Yellow. A correspondent of Rural New
Yorker tells that there are a number of
local strains of this whose peculiarities
He principally In their shape, color and
keeping quality. Among these Is the
Vlneland Bush, which seems to be a
true bush form of the Jersey Yellow.
This writer says: We grew some of
them last season and found them to be
productive, of good yellow color and
ileslrable shape. They form a thick
bushy top of rich dark green leaves
and not a sign of a runner. The leaves
are of the same shape as the Jersey
Yellow, but rather larger. They are as
easy to cultivate and hoe as bush
beans, and there are no vines in the
way at digging time. The quality la
very much like the Jersey Yellow. We
have grown so called vlneless sweets,
but they are all more or less of the yam
family. The Vlneland Bush Is a true
sweet potato.
Soil, method of culture and season
have much to do with shape, color and
quality of sweet potatoes. It is a well
known fact that where they have been
grown in favorable soil for many years
( their habit of growth becomes to some
extent fixed In the seed, and tney will
retain that hflbit for a year or more
when planted on quite different soil.
A large sweet potato grower in Iowa
writes me: "We buy Jersey Yellow
seed, which at first grows short and
chunky, but after a year or two they
grow longer, and then we call them
Yellow Nansembnds:" Thus they
change name as well as shape.
The seed the small or medium pota
toesare first bedded In a hotbed one-
half to one Inch apart and covered
three Inches deep. In about four weeks
the sprouts should be well up and root
ed, when they are pulled and Bet where
the soil has been previously prepared.
BUSH SWEET POTATO.
The ground is first plowed lightly, as
deep plowing tends to produce long po
tatoes. Some growers plant in bills,
others on ridges. Usually light fur
rows are run about three feet apart, In
which the fertilizer, which should be
rich in potash, is sown at the rate of
one-half ton per acre. Ridges (or hills)
are made directly over this either with
a ridger or small plow. The plants are
set on the ridge 18 Inches or more
apart There are several forms of
hand planters in use as well as the two
horse machine, but many farmers still
set with the band or trowel. Fluuls
should never be set until the weather
is warm, about melon planting time. If
the soil is dry, a little water is put In
ts the plant Is set, which insures a
good start. Some planters always wa
ter. Frequent cultivation and clean
hoeing are essential to success. Near
ly all growers now use cultivators with
vine turners on, which keep the vinea
upon the ridge through the season.

The Bar or Globe Artichoke.
The bur or globe artichoke, cultivat
ed extensively in Mediterranean coun
tries, Is a vegetable of very delicate
flavor for the table and quite different
from the Jerusalem artichoke, which is
grown as forage for hogs and other an
imals. .
The bur artichoke is commonly prop
agated from suckers which are produc
ed around the crown. These are pinch
ed off or cut off except two or three,
which are left to produce the flower
heads. Black, turfy soils are especially
suitable for Its cultivation. The shoots
are planted 2 feet apart in rows three
to four feet apart, the care required and
the methods of cultivation being simi
lar to those used in the case of cab
bage, eggplant, etc. Suckers planted
in this way will yield heads In autumn
of the first year. At the north when
bur artichokes are grown from seed the
seed is sown In hotbeds In February
or March In rows about three Inches
apart, and the plants are finally thin
ned to about the same distance apart
In the row. These are ready to trans
plant when they have four leaves.
They should be set out three or four
together In a hill, the hills 18 to 38
Inches apart in rows three to four feet
apart.
