The History of I-ane County ia nearly completed; it is far advanced in the press, and if w may judge from the advauc sheets we have glanced over will be an excellent speci men of typographic art, embracing accurate account of our early and present history. The History of Southern Oregon, which includes Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry aud D"ttgla counties is now published, and has unsolicited brought the following com plimentary epistle from Hon Jesse Apple gate, whose uuinpeachnble honesty stamps him as bei.ig unable U become the medium to convey praise where none is due: A. G. Walu.no, Esq., Historian; Dkar Sir: Since my rittirn from Portland with your valuable History of Oregon I have hail but little time to dip into it, but the little time I have had, has raiseil it greatly in my esteem. The pl.ir. is comprehensive ever exhaustive of the events having any bearing upon the history of the country of which yon write. IJruat pains have evidently been taken to obtain sn accurate record of events, and a fair ami t ip rtial account of the contro versies and divisions among the the people the motives of their loaders have been fairly treated and their acts justly judged. I have read the hook seriatim to the ac count of the religious wsr, or "clash of urecd" resulting in the massacre of Dr Whitman and associates. I have found very few errors in the the text and they of little consequence to the parties concerned none whatever general history. As my leisure serves I ahull continue to note iuscouraoies and omissions to the end. But as I am now sstistied that you have no object in view othei than to make the best history of the country you can, it will be a real pleasure to me te assist you all I cau in so laudable an effort. I herewith inclose the few notes I have thought necessary to make on the one hun dred ami sixty pages I have found time to read. I have made them as short as possi ble. Yours Respectfully, Jm.m Apflkoatk. Such a c tnn nnicatiou as the above from so well Known and respected a resident as Mr Applegate, proves conclusively that Mr Wulling' undertaking is one deserving of every support, and this should be given freely, fur only the number of books sub scribed fur will be published and no books will remain to be sold at a reduced price.

At present all work has to be sent to Albany or Portlaud, thereby entail ing a loss of time and heavy freight charges.

Smut in Wheat. Editor Guard. I am In receipt of a letter from ovr eld friend Mr John Duncan, of Day ton W T, wishing me to give my views in a letter for publication what came produce smut and what effect vitrol has on wheat to prevent it from smutting, as they are tioubled with it thi year in that locality. Smut Is a fungus of a peculiar organization, and I have never yet seen any article written or in print by any agriculturalist of America or any other country, of what first causes smut In wheat or corn. We are aware that wherever it pieJoniinates and is allowed to spread, it become a great Injury to wheat I have seon fields almost wholly destroyed by it Its growth is somewhat similar to mushrooms, not substantial or durable, with a spongy ex crescence. 1 he mains causes, l believe, ot its first coming in wheat Is of seeding it too late. not giving it it natural time to make a slow and steady growth, hence when seeded late an d the warm weather comes on and the land being rich, it grows too test and become rank, it suddenly burst out fungits or smut Most of the varieties of wheat in Oregon need no less than ten anil half months to make a perfect growth; then if the seed be perfectly clean and the soil in its proper state not too rich, very little fears of its smutting need be appre hended. ' A proof of this I have noticed when ever ws have volunteer crops, which have their full time to grow, are clear of smut; but on the contrary both oats and wheat seeded late in the Spring, say about the first of May, is most sure to produce more or less smut, and the ranker the growth the more smut. Now (or the remedy, and the effect of vitriol on wheat In threshing the smut'.y wheat the smut dust settle on the fuzz end of the grains, and the germ starting to grow after seeding through this smut dust it produces mure smut, while the use of vitriol water mails strong stop its further increase. The proper quantity to use lenenits on how much the wheat is effected: if badly one pound to four bushels, if not ro bad one Hiund to 8 bnshtlt, and if a grain of smut is only seen occasionally one pound to ten bushels is sufficient I do not vitriol my seed wheat every year, but only when I di over a little smut amongst the wheat. UEORCJE ISEIJIHAW, Notice to Farmers. tTheEagene City Mill have been thnr- oighly overhauled and the capacity for re e dving and storing grain increased.
