THE PRESENT HARVEST. As tho presont harvest draws toward a close wo porcoivo that in all Oregon, as lias boon the case in California, tho yieli1 i much bo bow the average. Fall wheat yl, Is a pooror return than tho "oldest inhabitant" knows of, and tho spring wheat hardly comes up to tho expectations ontei talned. It Is variously conjectured as to what may causo tills failure of crops. Tho lacts aro that whilo tho grain that perfects Is a beautiful, plump borry,stlll the hoads are imperfect and very light, ow ing to the folium of many of tho grains to fill at nil. This was also tho cvse in tho harvest just completed In California. Con jecture Is that the continued rains provnlont during tho season when tho whoat was In bloom beat ofl tho pollen and prevented Im pregnation. Alio, it is undoubted that much of the winter wheat was partUUv drowned, out by tho contluuod winter rains, and the this thinning of tho wheat gave opportunity for the growth of weoiU that cho.ikod tho grain in some instances. Then, thero wore souw terribly hot days early in June, and at inter vals through that mouth, that must have worked disaster to tho forming heads, .Com ing after rains, as they did, tlioio fervid spells blighted many of the grattis and in some Instances ctused tho wheat to rust, as was the case on tho form of Mr. Doles Jeffer son, near Salem, who roports that from this cause his ylold was not over 15 bushels per acre, whon it r,hould, from appearance, havo reached :I0 bushels. Mr. F. 13. Eldridgo, of Fairfield, informs us that in that vicinity tho fall wheat, in many Instances yielded less than enough to pay for harvesting, and gives the lollowing facts: tho Englo boys, nearQervais, cut 100 acres that yielded from 3J.i to i buabelu per acre; Sir.l.h, near (Nervals, cut GO acres that went but i bushels Warebam, of Fairfield, cut U0 acres that went butS bushels. The bostyield he knows of is on tho farm of D, M, Keen, at Fairfield, who roalizod about :t0 bushels per acre. Mr. Eeldridge considers it doubtful if tho aver age yield ot whoat on French Piairlo will exceed 15 buthols por acre. Wo may safely assume that the yield of whoat in Oregon tho present year will bo below any luturns known in the history of our State, which fact must bo attributed to t.io vory unusual weather that lias prevailed fur the entiro harvest year. Uho winter whh nno droiioh iug lain that continued, with only partial lutermisslbii, alt tho spring; Juno gave us excessive and unroRsonablo terms ot heat, and thero has not been an excessjvoly hot day throng!) the iiionths of July iind Aug ust; in triuti wo now havn autumnal weather that would not be unusual fur October. Tho items wo copy from our oxchangos show that the condition of thing wo doicriho in Marion county prevails all through our State, or at least In the region west of tho Cascade.
