Off, and--Ail Aclrndvrledse That
the Time or Diversified Agri
culture Ha Arrived.
NORTH TAMHILI. 6ri,kAuff. .15. (Spe
clal correspondence.) The man who in
vented the famous "plgs-ln-the-clover
puzzle ft Jew years ago..gb6uld come to
the Willamette Valley a year or two hence
If he -wants to see not only pies, "but sheep
end cattle reveling In a -wealth of clover
such as few Oregonlans over expected to
see growing in the state where an "iner
Siaustlble" soil would produce 40 bushels
of wheat to the acre, and where "crops
never fall." Pigs will be -up to their eyes
in clover, and how "they got there will
biot be a puzzle. Cows will not- eat green
clover all Summer. There will 3e clover
tfor pasture, clover for hay, and clover for
seed. Then when this crop has rejuve
aaed lie soil, cleaned out the foul seed
,end established Oregon -agriculture upon.
the modern basis of rotation of crops, the
Jand will again produce its 40 bushels of
wheat per acre, and gralngrowlng will he
'Jilghly profitable once more.
At every town up and -down the Willam
tte "Valley the information 4s given, that
'farmers are going to raise clover. Many
of them put in clover on their Winter
-wheat last Spring, and they already hava
ia good -sod, which will yield, hlg crops next
season. Many more will put in clover dur
'ing the coming season, and that crop
(will be in its test yielding stage in .1301.
Almost every farm will have Its clover
Held, and in a few cases half the area
'of the cultivated land will be producing
fcthfs crop. It Is reported that one man
who recently bought 'a lCO-acre farm in
Yamhill County has seeded the whole
tract to clover, intending to' get what
e can out of the pasturage or hay, but
using (he crop principally as a means of
Increasing tho productiveness of the solL
He will try to sell off only so much of
the clover as -is necessary- to pay ex
penses, and will plow under what remains.-
Most of the farmers who are be
ginning to sow clover will use it on land
that would otherwise be Summer-fallowed.-Finally
Diversifies Its Crops.
Yamhill County has heen one of the last
to realize that Its farm land can be given
to wheat too many years in succession.
The greater part of the farming district
Is -composed of rolling land, which, like
the Waldo Hills country, in Marlon Coun
ty, will produce a crop of wheat in al
most any kind of a season. The soli is
well drained and rich, as, in fact, is most
of the Willamette Valley. But faith in the
never-falling qualities of the Yamhill
County farm has been shaken In ' the
last few years, when. the. yield of 30 to
W bushels per acre has dropped to about
18 or 50. This year much of the-land .will-
produce 14 to 16 bushels, and few fields
will afield 20. So great has - been tho
change that T. W. Perry, who has lived
50 years in Yamhill County, and 'for 20
years operated .a grain' warehouse at his
plape, exclaims, as he views the decadence
of wheatgrowing: "It would havo been
better if the farmers had never raised a'
bushel of wheat." He kept the warehouse
when 160,000 bushels of wheat were hauled
to North YamhiU every year, and when
large quantities had to be piled outside
because tho warehouse wouldn't hold It
all. This year the wheat hauled to North
Yamhill will not be-more than 40,000 bush
els. But Mr.. Perry forgets what wheat has
done for Yamhill County. The hills and
dales of this beautiful land are one con-n
tlnuous panorama of well-kept farms.
The comfortable dwellings, the spacious")
barns, the unbroken fences, the shady
groves, the graded highways, all testify
to the wealth that has been drawn from
the soli through tho roots of the wheat
stalk and gathered by the farmers In
the abundance of golden grain. It was
wheat that made Yamhill County what it
is, and if the farmers have lost money
by -growing that :rop In recent years, it
is because they have been too confident
of the ability of the soil to go on pro
duclng one crop without change.
Soil Is Sot Exhausted.
Nothing is further from the truth than
to say that Ihe productiveness of Yamhill
County soil has been exhausted. The fact
Is that by the constant growing of one
crop -the soil has been "temporarily de
pleted of those elements which ore es
sential to the production of that crop
In profitable quantities. The land needs a
change, not a rest. It needs a- change
which will tend to renew its natural
strength, and then It will he iound to be
as productive as ever. The growing of
clover will supply the needed change.
The clover roots will go deep down into
tho soli and bring to the surface mate
rials which are far beneath tho reach bf
such plants as "wheat. Much of this ma
terial will be added to the surface solL
Besides thus enriching of the surface, the
subsoil will be loosened. The clover will
take nitrogen from tho air, and through
its roots supply this needed element to
the soil. The production of clover will
prepare, the land for further growing of
wheat.
AH Clover Will Be Consumed.
There Is little danger of an' overproduc
tion of clover. The farmers of the Wil
lamette Valley are giving more and more
attention to the-growing of stock, espe
cially sheep, hogs and cattle. The great
difficulty In dairying hos been to keep up
the flow of milk during the dry Sum
mer season, when the .price of butter Is
high. The growing of clover will obvi
ate this difficulty, and in the increased
yield of- milk during the Summer the
farmer will get his roturn for the feed.
The high prices paid for beef, pork and
mutton will make it profitable to feed
sheep, hogs and calves on clover, and
probably the greater part of the crop
will be consumed in this way. In every
part of the Valley silos are becoming nu
merous, and these will be flUed, principal
ly with this leguminous plant as a means
of providing succulent food for--stock
when needed. Should the yield of -clover
be greater than Is needed for feed,-It can
be allowed to ripen, and then be cut and
threshed and the seed sold.
Iood Value of Clover,
Aside from the benefits accruing from
a rotation otxrppsr the farmers will .find
that it pays to raise clover because of its
food value. In found numbers, 100 pounds'
of hay mado from leguminous crops con
tains nearly twice as much protein as
100 .pounds of hay from tho ordinary
grasses. The following statement, based
upon a yield of two tons of hay per aero
from ordinary grasses and three tons from
clover, shows tho amounts of food mate
rial In each, these figures being the re
sults of Government experiments:
; Hedtop at two tons per acre yields 158
pounds of protein, 1520 pounds of carbo
hydrates and SS pounds of fat
Timothy at two tons per acre yields 118
pounds of protein, 1480 pounds of carbo
hydrates and BO pounds of fat.
Red clover At three tons per acre yields
269 pounds of protein, 1SS7 pounds of carbo
hydrates and 99 pounds of fat.
'Willamette Valley Prosperous.
That the residents of tho Willamette
Valley are in prosperous financial condl
tlons is everywhere shown by the im
provements that arc being made. In
every Valley town new buildings are
being erected, and in such cities as Eu
gene, Salem, Corvallls and Albany this
work Is quite extensive. That the general
prosperity extends to the farmers Is
shown nowhere better than In tho old
townof North Yamhill, where there Is en
tire dependence upon tho farming comma
nity for business. Old business buildings
have been remodeled, several new store
bnildingfs haver been constructed, a new
hotel three stories high is being pushed to
completion, and a bank is to be opened
here In a Tow days. These Improvements
are going on In a town that has been at
a standstill since the hard times began
nearly 10 years ago, and this work would
not now be under way unless the financial
condition of the farmers in tho vicinity
gave assurance that business will be brisk.

GRASSHOPPERS INJURE CROPS.
Small Field of Grain Near Corvallls
Is Entirely Destroyed.
CORVAULIS. Aug. 15. (Special.) The
unusual spectacle of a small field of grow
ing grain destroyed by grasshoppers is to
bo seen six miles- north of Corvallls. The
field comprises six acres, and belongs to
Alfred BIcknelL The crop Is oats and
hot over half a dozen grains is all that Is
left on what was a couple of weeks ego
thrifty heads. A. It. Locko estimates
that oats in the adjoining field, not at
tacked hy the grasshoppers, -will yield 60
bushels per acre. The pests have also
attacked other growth in the Imraedlato
vicinity. The leaves of cdrn have been
stripped from tho stalks, and the tassels
bitten rrom tho ears, when the silk dropa
to the ground. Potato vines in the same
garden have been stripped bare of foliage,
and even milkweed is attacked and de
nuded of leaves. Tho trouble Is not re-s
ported from any other section, and in tho
instance mentioned is confined to a small
area. Save the loss resultant la the field
in question, no ono la disturbed seriously
by tho prospect, as there is no fear that
th6 grasshoppers will develop into a seri
ous pest.

Lake County Dlntrlct Trouble
Is Sure to Come.
LAKE VIEW, Or.. Aug. 15. Special.)
Cattlemen of Ely, Klamath County, have
threatened trouble for the sheepmen of
Lake County. Fifty stockmen armed to
the teeth came to Dave Edler's sheep
camp the first of the week for tho ostens
ible purpose of ordering him to move his
sheep back from the range they allege
belongs to the cattlemen. Finding no one
with the sheep, the stockmen proceeded
unceremoniously to drive the sheep away
at a speed not calculated to produce any
fat on the hungry sheep. The herder
and camp-tender were not far away, and
on seeing what was up, hurried to-their
camp and procured their rifles, and were
soon in a place where they could com
mand the situation. They remonstrated
'with tho cattlemen for running the sheep,
and said If they didn't stop there wbuld
be trouble. The sheep were allowed, to
move more slowly, but were not allowed
to remain In that vicinity.
Batcheldcr & Grob's sheep were moved
In the same way, the owners not being
there to protest, and the herder was not
anxious to make a stand against 50
armed cattlemen.
The cattlemen have had the following
article defining the boundaries of their
range published In the Lakdvlcw Exam
iner: The stockmen of the south side of Sprague'
River, Horse Fly Vallcr. Dry Prairie ana
Langeu's Valley have, formed a stock com

"We want no trouble, but It has come to
the point where we must protect our Tango or
starve. A word to the wise Is sufllclent. By
order STOCKMEN,
Ely. Klamath. County. Or.
The sheepmen of Lake County havo
been in the habit of ranging their sheep
In the Bprague River country when the
feed gets short on this- side of the line.
and at present thousands of sheep are
moving over tho county line. The sheep
men are determined to go where there Is
good feed for their flocks, and the cat
tlemen are just as determined that tncy
will not allow them to use tho range they,

There Is a certain cure for these dis

ant and nainful methods still used by
many, which aggravate, rather than give
relief. With the same certainty as that
of a perfect diagnosis. I adapt my special

Stricture, Proatatls,

Private Disorders, Varicocele,
And all Gcnlto-Unlnry Diseases
It affords Instant relief. I remove every
vestige of disease wltohut resorting to
those painful procersrs usually employed
and which do not give satisfaction. It is
not ressonabic to suppose that a man can
exercise the essential functions while the
urinary channel is blocked by stricture
or othr disease, which destroys the vital
powerand whlrh becomes more aggravated
under improper treatment. These diseases,
while they last, always detract frou the
sexual and bladder functions, and an early
cure Is always advisable.
