This Is perhaps ono of the best fall scasans for all mnnner of outdoor work, which has been known in western Oregon for twenty yenrs past. Tho rains havo been umcimiiy copious to moisten and soften tho ground for a foot or more in depth, making Itki excellent order follow ing and sowing, and for fall culture for a spring crop. It was icnreu that thu sharp days which we had in lust liimrfh would damage the fall wheat and newly sown grass. .But the crops now look green nnd promising, nnd they nro encouraging to tho farmers. Tlio season is so very favorable, that farmers can fall plow all their lands in best order, which in this country, is a sure precursor of a good cropiin tho next senson. DITCHING. It is well known that many fail ures in crops hero arise from the wet or codden condition of tho land, and tho failure of having tho land tho roughly pulverised in the spring ntl nn early time, ready to receive tho seed. I havo never seen so favor able a fall for ditching the lands ns this is. Ditches must idways run in tho direction of tho slope of tho land, nnd in low swales. Very often tho earth fills up with water from early and heavy rain, nnd thedlrectlon, which Is necessary to draw off the water, is too soft nnd miry for plowing out tho ditches. This fall is different, and ponds, swales, and nil Ant lands can bo well plowed and ditched. This by nil means should be done. In f.ict all fields should be plowed in narrow lands, nnd tho middle fur rows thrown out deep nnd well. Thesu smaller ditches should lead into main ditches, giving quick vent to all surplus water. Thoso swnles and wet lands nro exceedingly pro ductive, especially in timothy nnd garden vegetables. The largo plows now in use here Collins', Moline, and onu or two other patterns, can bo successfully used in ditching. HOTATION IN CHOI'S.
