The History of Southern Oregon, which
includes Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry

has unsolicited brought the following com
plimentary epistle from Hon Jesse Apple

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

scribed fur will be published and no books
will remain to be sold at a reduced price.

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.
