ciety. I do not think that "Tho Statis
tics" have arrived at nerfeetion wet hw
any means, and I am eqaally certain that
,
good tempered and intelligent criticism
will improve them. . Among other things
you compare the estimates of land noder
coltivation in Yamhill and Lion coun-
lics and express the opinion; that such
estimates do more than justice to the for
mer an 1 less to the latter. A yon state,
I prepared the article en Yamhill, but I
may say here, that il was5ne i o great
haste and withoot , any idea en i my part,
f its being , put to any permanent use.
Your rjtinioni may be correctbut I am
inclined to think that "the Statistics" of
Yamhill, to far as they go, are not far
from the mark. . , - i :
Inking the ;. Land Office map,
dated July 20, ; 18CG, as : a guide
Yamhill extends about four townships
north and south, and about five town
ships cast and west, or 24 by 30 miles.
This gives i the county , an area of 720
square miles . or 400,800 acres. J' Of this
area, the map shows that 14! townships
tro Karrejea which is equal to )U4
square milea, or S22,iC0 acres, or a little
more than five-sixths of the whole' conn-
ty. 'From personal knowledge I can af
firm that these 14 townships are in the
main, if not altogether, first-rate tillable
land i As to whetherene-third of it, or
in round numbers 100,000 acres is under
cultivation, that is at present so much a
matter of 'opinion that I1 cannot assert Jt
uoqualificdlv. 5 But I think so, and thts
is';pnd of tho calculations upon which
this' conclusion is based. The population
being mostly ' rural and permanent, I
think it reasonable to assume that of its
1200 voters in 18G8, at least 800 of thsa
wero: faimers,- and that their farms
would average r 300 acres each.
This would give a total of 240,000 acres.
The average land under cultivation on
these farms is between 100 and 160 acres
-one-third or one-half. The former ratio
would give 80,000 acres and the latter
120,000 By -being under cultivation I
mean land in tame grass - as well as grain
and : tho like, buto not. iivcludo land
merely fenced and in wild grass : fl
..-.-And. now..- a word m to Linn couaty.
Proni ' the mip already mentioned Lisa
appears, to, , be about eight townships ia
extent north and south and about II
townships, in extent east aid west, or 48
by 66 1 miles. ; This gives 'a total area o
3f,163 square milcsj or 2)2T,520 acres
,0f tnis arca,vas appears from such map

Tal en together they gi ve i a total oil ,SC8
qaafe miles, or 875,520 acres, of between
one-third and one-half of the area of the ''
county while as has been said, that of
Vamhill is fivc-sixthfl i of its area. Bat I '
presume from; this, that the estimate "n!'

Linn runs to the i summit of the CJas-, "
cade' mountains, and therefore "includes
tbe whole westefn slope of this range, J
including one large spur. On his ac
count the area if so much larger than the '
tillable land. Yamhill also runs to the
summit' of a range .of moua tains -but
it is corcparatiTely a inaall one and io the
southern part of the county, where the 1,
range, is only by the South yamhiH riycr.
The surveyed land extends to the western ' r
boundary. In making these estimates,' if
should be remembered, . that while the
East side of the Wallamet being the
water-shed of the greater range of moun
tains is larger than the western that
the latter has less waste land in nronor-
tion to its area and is generally of a bet
ter quality; and to to part of tbe West
Side is this remark more justly applicable
than to Yamhill. D.
