Newspaper Page Textir s WILLAMETTE FARMER. FBOM ROSEBURG. Mn. Korron: It is rather Into for the plant ing of fruit trees, but as there will be more or less frurt trees planted wery year, 1 do Slot know tea knowledge in regard to fruit xalsing, wlK be out of ploeo at any time. I have beon thinking of giving yon a little actual experience In regard to the locality -where fruit Is grown, as to Its keeping quali ties. I hare two orchards on my place, not to exceetl-ino-fonrth of -a nulla apart, one -on the river 'bottom and the other on the high land front one hundred and 'fifty to three hundred feet abovo the -other. During the cold weetber inkTanuary we had apples Must from both orchard stowed away in tbeoamo home, room on the farm, and also in this town, ex posed t the Barae "degree of cold in both instances. White the fruit which was raised on the 'bottom rotted'knmedtately after the ice thawed out Of it, -end that ralsed-ou the highlands, is perfectly soundand bids fair to keepointil fruit -comes again. An others in this vicinity have had the same expert anon, -end the -keeping qualities are not all, the 'frr.lt raised on -.the highland s of far superior flavor to that raised on the' bottom. 'It istrue it Is not so kn-ge nor so flno looking i to-tne eye, but 'far superior tothetasto. II hare-no doubt tbero-ore others that have had the same experience' in regard to tho superior, keeping qualities-of'frult raised on highland as well as to its superior fl a var-and as there ia always noma one-eontemplatlng the plant ing -of fruit trees TL think It woukl be weM-enongh for them to tako notice of theM'facts and fooate their orchards accord ing. Asthe election ofJDIrectors for the dlffisr ent -school dlstrlcto throughout the 8tate -is doee-nt hand, and-yoar paper 'Is calculated to beceilt the masios.'I thoughts would pen av few thoughts uggested'by visiting th exhibition given by tho (oncliers and-atu-deots, at the close df the last quarter on-tlio llth-of tbU) month, ia this plaeo. I do -not wishito bs understood as having one word of objootlon to the teachers and students- enjoy ing dbemaelvo and -having a llttlefun-if they-svisb, but tnlntetkese things had -ought to beiflot up ousldo-of school hours. & thlnkiit would be altogether right and proper to uavo an exhibition at the-ctase of each quarter's school, in 'fact would urg it-ax a help to tho scholars, said exhibition consist ing of itieclamaUotiSfCinq positions, dialogues and debates, an I think those nvould bo a hely to the Bcboal in after 1Mb. (But negro performances, and family scenes, were 'the pareulvMirrol with -each other and with the children burlesque), burlesquing -scenes In life; F think are entirely out of plase. I do not tbiul: that in what the patrosw of tho aohoaljxt? out their moooy for. Jlttiink tbo mejonity of them expect -to have their chil dren tuiutht souietbiug that will be of more use to thorn in the Actual struggles or life.

Bmiw iBjKBiiwiign., March 22,1875. JTLAX CULTURE. The growing Interest In flax culture is one nrore IndHtitlou that the farmers are waking tji to the necessity for a diversity of crops. The day -when the true farmer will raise oulv corn, wheat and oats are gone by, and ail those who know their own best Interests see tbat tbey must not con tine thomselves to the production of only one or two crops. Flax Nuppllos the place of unotber variety of pay ing crop, so that if one fails there will be something to fall back on. The culture of Jlaz'ts as simple and easy as tbat of -wheat, and Is not as exhaustive to tlie land. In 1873 the Jnited States paid to foreign countries ?2223,020 In gold, for flar, raw and manu factured. There Is no reason why wesbould cay this large amount for articles which can "JHE ALSEA. No that so much has been mid about-the oremosal ofthe Indians from the Alsea Reser vation, a great twtuy people aretarnioirtbetr cbougets to that soctlou with a view or find, ing hocjoi. (Perhaps a slight description of the country and Ma advantages a a place of u"ui juiguuiMjt ue amiss. Along rae well bn rained and manufactured at Our soil and climate are well adapted to the production of flax, and we mlsht. with the same propriety, neglect the culture of corn or wheat, and depend on other nations for a supply of these articles. Flax Is a very quick crop the producer can receive his ixoney'witbln four months from the time ef sowing the seed, and Is one of the best crops to prepare tne lanu lor winter wrjeat. roi lowing flax with corn is not generally recom mended. The selection of soil for flax de pends somewhat on the object in view to raising the orop. If seed alone is wanted. the best yield can be obtained from dry, rolling, moderately -rich land. If straw is wanted, choose moist, rich land, such as our creek and river bottoms. The land should be -clean from weeds, and if some cleaning crop, such a corn, turnips, or potatoes, was raised on the land the year pre vious, so much the better. On dirty land the exnense of r&tatnrr and rmrvAAtlticr thn crop will be more than doubled. The larid should De plowed m tne rail, and, it possible again in the spring. The soil must be put in the finest possible condition, and be made smooth and mellow belbre'tbe flax is sown. The seed should be covered with a brush barrow or roller, as. If covered too deen. it will cot come well. A heavy rain immedi ately after sowing will -cover the soed sufficiently, provided tbo soil be verv fine and mellow. Great care should be taken to procure seed of good quality. It should be fully matured, iplump and glossy, and free from foul seeds. If fibre is desired, sow from two to two and a half bushels to an acre; If good seed is desired, from sixteen to twenty quarts will bo sufficient. If sown too thick, the heads will be minller, and not as well filled with Head. The seed should be sown as soon afwr the first of April as the irmtind Is In proper condition. Flax should bo cut as sosn as the bolls be gin to turn brown; as, If left standing too long, there will be a great loss of seed In har nesting. It may be out with almost any reap er, and if raised principally for seed, there Is no necessity for binding it, but It may be left In gravels until dry, when It is ready for threshing. It ie better to thresh earlv. For threshing, some use ailUll; others tramp out the seed with horses; while others use the common threshing machines, with some slight alterations. Tho average yield Is from twelve to fifteen bushels per acre. Flax Is often sown with barley. The barley should be sown first, and harrowed In; afterward the flax Is sown, and rolled or covered with a brush harrow. In this way, a yield of from fifteen to twenty bushels of barley, and from ten to twelve of ciaxcanbe obtained; and by the use of proper screens, the barley and flax can be readily separated. At present prices flax straw la worth but little, exoeptlng near a faotnry. Where there are conveniences for the manufacture flax, the straw la worth from 4 to f(l per acre, l-'lax seed Is now worth rifeoutf 1.70 per bush el. The culture of -flax la rapidly inoreaslmr in the United Stales. In '150 thn value of llnsnnd oil manufactured was $1,078,034, and in 1870 it bad inoreased -to-fi8.h01.0Q2. But be neglect of utilizing the stalks has been a great loss to the country. The establish noentof manulaotorlesjfor using flax straw would add greatly to the wealth of the coun try, not only by manufacturing the linen goods which we now import, but, by giving U farmers an lucreaaed value for their flax crop. When the etraw cannot be sold, ihe culture of flax is still more profitable than wheat culture, and 'It adds one moro cron to the rotation wnloh huuld bn practiced on every well comriiotod trm.IturtU 11'oWd. Tornado In Louisiana. Nuw Orleans, March 23. A destructive tornado visited Ouchitn valley IMdny last, i bntwnon Smithlaud and Ray's Point. Loss I of life and property Is reported verygioat. Mrs. -Tames Agalr and child are among the killod. Smlthland was leveled to tbo ground, and at Ray's Point the plantation buildings, fences, mules, horses and cattle were scatter ed for miles. The track of the tornado was three miles wide and fifteen long. Tornadn In Ccenrla. Latter from Grand Rondo Valley. U.viox Co., March 10, 1875. Mb. Enrrort: After a hard winter the long, looked-for spring has come again in her beauty, with the necessary. grass to eavo our stock. There is but little loss of stock in this valley. The loss of cattle is not more than two or three to oach hundred, and no loss of horses worth speaking of; and sheep, so far as I know, in the south part of the valley, Auousta, Qa., March 23. The path of the , does not exceed three head per hundred In loss excepting one band that were arove from the Willamette late last fall, and have had the scab for two years at least, and so poor they were dying along the roadside. In the latter part of the journey this band suf fered a creat loss, mostly for the want of wool to keep them warm. We think this Is recent tornado was from 200 toGOO yards wide. It was cyllndnc in shape nnd rotated with fearful velocity from north to south. The front cloud was black as night and half a mile high. Thn rear was illuminated by a bright lleht. It traveled nearly due east, veering a little to the north. After devasta ting Camack the tornado seems to have divi ded, one portion going east by north and MIS STUB FARM! crossing Savannah river above and below one of the best sheep growing countries on Augusta, both proving equally destrnctlveln I thI 0 st 0ur wInU)r8 re short and dry. laying waste and destroying in their track.

" Ti -i "-i ,-?-" .j The tornado was preceded by a dull heavy roaring, as or neavy artillery in tne distance. It spent Its greatest fury in about three min utes. An eye witness says the senses wero utterly deadened and appalled. There was a crash, a roar and a mingling of a hundred terrific and unearthly sounds. There Is a great devastated district, embracing eight oonnties in Georgia and two or three in Sonth Carolina. Tbe destructlou of property is im mense and the list of malned and wounded appalling. iUSAjIUVKH, IBelow what is known as Alsea valley, or Up per Alsea, runs acowitry road which, though ot peiftrtly completed, .still furnishes a BMsway for the settlers from one portion of: the valley to Ihe otter, and ou the linn of (bis road ha great deal of lnd as rich and1 sXOduollvoaN anv In-Gresnn.

UrsET AMD Bueak Down. At six and a half A. hm to-day, the coach was leaving the Commercial Hotel, with Bud Hamilton driv ing and Mr. Wesley Graves on the box and eight passengers Inside, among whom were Mrs. Graves, R. O. Geer and fdur young peo ple from Independence, who were on a plea sure trip to Portland. As the coach started, .the horses whirled suddenly on tbe full jump, the coach was overturned right in tho muddy street, and the crlos of ladles inside sounded woefully on the morning air. Graves was down In the mud with Bud Hamilton making a cushion of him, but fortunately the forewheels became uncoupled and let tbe horses loose, or else those under-side of tho passengers crowded within would have had a rough Journey to Inevitable death. As soon as possible tbe coaoh was righted and those within relieved, whioh was easy done as tbat side of tbe establishment fell entirely out and made egress easy. Mrs. Graves received quite severe brniees and has a lame hip; Mr. Graves was slightly lamed, and Mr. Hast ings of Independence basnculoj his head from broken glass. Very fortunately there are no serious nuns to record. Tliero was a speck of war to he feared when ono of the gallants irom independence; picKea bis girl out of tbe wreck and vowed "Show me tbe man tbat did it and I will shoot him." Bud Hamilton -showed himself Immediately and tb shooting was providentially postponed. All parties had to defer their journey to Portland until the afternoon train. Bud is a splendid "whip," and wo doubt If any team ever did before or ever will again get tho whirl on him. Kmioranth Arrived. Thn steamer from Portland yesterday brought up quite a num ber oi passengers, recently come on tho Idaho from San Francisco, a large proportion of whom were from Indiana. All accounts speak of a very large immigration to come to Oregon tho present year; these new arrivals confirm that Impression. Among the num ber Is Mr. John M'Grew. of Monmouth, In diana, and his family. Mr. M'Grew Is father or M'Grew, tbo popular merchant at Perry dale, Polk county, and will so on to Bethel to reside, where we understand his sou has purchased a homestead. He and J Wesley Graves were well acquainted 22 years ago in Indiana, and on his arrival lie looked Mr. Grotvns up and was Immediately recognized by tho latter and tbe meeting and recogni tion was very pleasant to both of them.
