The Chronicle is the Only Paper in

Press Dispatches. '
The experience of the farmers of Wasco
county during the hist two or three years
ought to- have taught them one lesson
which they must practice sooner or later
or else give up fanning altogether,
namely, tljc-y must do more summer fal
lowing. In no other. way, under exist
ing circumstances can they be sure of a
crop every year. In no other wuy can
they have any measure of control over a
dry season. Scratching the stubble in
the fall lias fouletl the fields with weeds
ami wild oats till a great deal of the.
grain so produced lias become unfit for
anything but chicken or hog feed.
Plowing in a rainless spring and the
conHC'jiimit. mowing in the dust has re
sulted in thousands of acres which it
never paid to harvest. It has long been
the boiiPt of Wasco county that she has
some of the best wheat lands in Eastern
Oregon, and she has, but volunteering
and spring sowing have scarcely kept
the farmer's heads above water, while
those of .Sherman county, with an in
ferior soil but a better system of farming
have been forging uliead and becoming
wealthy. The Wa6co county farmer,
whose neivesities were so pressing that
ho thought he could not afford ' to allow
the half of his wheat lands tj lie fallow
ought to have learned by this time that
he cannot afford to do otherwise. He
has got to summer fallow or quit farm
ing and the sooner he begins, the better
ior himself. . '
The first number of the Dufur Lis-
patch has come to hand and it fully
confirms the reputation we have had
of Mr. Brooks, that he knows how to
make a good, newsy, readable paper.
The new enterprise may not have a very
largo field to work in but what it lacks
in extent ran easily be made up in en
.thusiasm. The Dnfurites have always
rbeen proud of their town as they have a
.right to lie. There arc few handsomer
town-sites in . Eastern Oregon and few
cominunties' blessed with a better class
- of citizens. That they will support their
local paper Iiberally.goes without saying,
uu n mis support snail prove sufficient
to meet the modest ambition of the ed
itor so that he can remain among them,
the town will reap a' hundred fold for
very dollar it invests- We cannot say
-anything better than that we wish the
uixpaicn me success it may deserve.
The Ciikon-icle gladly publishes the
following clipping from the American
Wbolaud Cotton Reporter kindly sent to
ns by A. M. Kelsay, a prominent and
well-known wool grower of this county.
.Beside? the testimony it contains to the
growing excellence of Oregon wools
and Eastern Oregon in particular it con-,
tains some valuable advice that our wool
growers can copy with profit to them
eelves :
We have now received the sample bag
of Oregon wool from Geo. Pope & Cb., of
Portland," Ore., which we very much re--gret
had iyt been forwarded "in time to
"snter the competition for onr prizes to
wool growers. It would unquestionably
have taken the first prize. It was
beaut ful wool, and the finest that we
have ever seen from Oregon. -It was in
splendid condition, absolutely free from
earth and vegetable matter, was yell
bred ami of good staple. If it had been
packed in Australian bales, it would
have readily passed for aii average lot of
Australian wooL The manufacturer
who should secure it at 30 . cents - would
get a good trade.
It is refreshing and encouraging to see
wool come forward in sucfi condition,
and if our - growers could only become
sufficiently impressed with the necs
' eity of paying more attention to the
;.repariiiK and putting up of -their, wools
for market, to act ju .that direction, they
would benefit all concerned and do. more
towards enhancing their own interests
than all llm triifT laws that were ever
framed. ... , 4 .
tjiegoii wools, owing to tneir improveu
quality and the strength' of the staple,
have, during the past few years, become
more and mor popular with worsted
manufacturers, though they have been
let's profitable the past season on account
of the great amount of grease and dirt
which they have retained. 'The wools of
Eastern Oregon particularly are well
bred and yield less profit of tender and
and short wools than some of the other
territories. They compete with Mon
tana wools, wiucii, iiowever, are usually
in lighter condition. It would Iks to the
advantage of the growers iu Oregon to
retain the govnl qualities of their wools
and keep dirt out, which adds to the
freight cxji'iise, and which buyers must
deduct from the price which they par
per pi mid for it.
Sim e the ab ve was written this bag
of Oregon wool, at 30 cents per pound,
and the last remaining bag of Wyoming
at 22 cents per pound, have been taken
by the well-known manufacturers, Moses
T. Stevens & Son's of North Andover.
Mass. - This closes the prize contest for.
the present season. : .
MARKET REVIEW.
Tiiubsday, December 10, 1891.
Business for the week, past has been
unusually : quiet owing to: the .storm
period which has just past ; the rain has
been quite general accompanied with
snow ou the highlands which fell to a
depth varying from one to twelve", in
ches; the warmer weather following, has
melted it nearly all off. In mercantile
lines, prices remain unchanged. '- Al
though, throughout the provision lines
there is a firm tendency excepting in
bacon and lard which is a little off of the
regular quotations, as a heavy decline is
announced in Eastern markets. Coffee
is still firm and. Arbuckles coffee will
advance very soon no donbt. Can goods
and dried fruits are steady, and some
dealers predict an advance in those ar
ticles. Sugar still remains on former
quotations with no immediate advance
in prices, as a very large quantity is on
the way from China to Portland!
In the produce market there is noth
ing to report, only wheat has dropped a
little and is a bit off for the week.
In the vegetable line, potatoes are
without a market, and 50 to 60 cents per
sack is all that they will bring. , In other
lines, there is n y change. Portland
