Chaff wheat to the acre; that is a yield approximating the dreams of (he ox-team pioneers who herald ed thls as the Wheat 'gtanary of the world. Some . other yield! have been reported ! up to 3$ bushels; ... the .Walker brothers careful farmers - of excellent re pute, a few miles east of Salem, on the"- Silverton " road,! . harvested wheat running to about that fig ure. Many yields have been re ported of 25 bushels or more (o the acre. I k The spring was especially well adapted to the deep-rooted hay crops. Yields of three tons of cloyep, or even more of clover and vetch, have been common. The straight clover is usually allowed to go to seed for its second crop of the year; red clover yields of five bushels per acre for this sec ond cutting, are quite common. Hynee brothers, near Mt. Angel, are credited with' nine bushels Of alsike seed per acre a yield ap proaching; that of food grains, at s price several times s high.
