The Coming Season.
Wo tiro fairly Introduced Into tlio
cllumtc of Spring, with fruit trees In
bloom mid nil nature preparing to robo
itself in lenf nntl (lower. The middle
of March finds IhoinoKfiuito nt work in
favorable localitio.i. The swallows
sing under the eaves, nntl fields nnd
p islures nro well advanced. There 1ms
b.'on less than the average rain-fall nnd
the whole Winter lins proved much
milder limn is usual, even though our
Winters nro usually mild. We hear
that the mountain roads have boon
o.iuii nnd travel has gone on all "Winter.
Crossing llio Cascade mountains every
month In the year is something not
usual wo fall to remember that It has
otciirred during twenty-seven Winters
.since we came to rogon, niiel it would
bo an interesting matter to liavo some
or I he oldest settlors give their experi
ence. IIr. .1. 1-. I'nrrish tolls us that
J sis was much such it season as this,
and wo fihoulil like to luivo Uiomj who
romembor it give us fuller particulars.
It is evident that there Isbutlitllo
snow in tho mountains at the prosont
time. It Is not supposed that tho lato
heavy riilns, that resiillod in the lilgh
ejit water in tho Willamette known for
sovoml ycai-8, left hiiow there, because
tho weather was warm, too warm to
bring snow, ovon em the mountains,
and warm enough to moll what wus on
Mio lower i-anires. Had there boon
much snow to bo moiled, the Hood in
the Willamette woulel linvo boon ells
astrous. We enter .Spring with tho season
much eailior than usual, and no doubt
the absence of the nival mass ef snow
Horn the wlelo mountain districts that
envelop this valley, have something to
do with the mildness of tho present
mouth, and will exert considerable In
Huenco over tho remaining Spring
months and upon tho character of tho
Hummer and early Kail, it Is an Im
portant matter to autleipnto in hqiuo
measure) what this ell'ect will ho, nml
provldo for any unfavorable lnlluonces
that may result.
We M-e no reason why we may not
expect an early Spring, for oven though
the rains should bo abundant and con
tinue well luto.lune, ns is usual, still
tluo future rains, lacking tho e-hlll In
lluenco or tho mountain snow in usual
volume, will hardly bo fold enough to
ivtaiel vegetation. Certainly, so warm
a March was never known before.
Then, again, It N a very serious epios
liou to answer, whether tho Spring
rains are not to a coiuhlorahlo extent,
lntlucenl by the eleep snow elrlfts thnt
usually He in our mountains. To tho
Houlh'of us, in tho mountains of Cali
fornia, thero Is much less amount ef
limber, and very much loss snow lies
there than in the mountains eif Oregon.
Tho great elMVii'iU'i in climate thoro
being tiltle rain-fall in .lint Slate after
the' present tlmo suggests that with
out tho usual heavy snow deposits in
the mountains we must expect less
abundant Spring rains and a more or
less eailior ami elryer Summer Season.
Wo threw these suggi'slions out for
our farmers tu re-ilcct upon iiuel guide
their e'onduct by it' they think them
important. It itvilly deo seem that,
uudor the rlriMiiiiMuiii'os, all grain
shouhl be sown as early ns possible.
Owing to the favorable Winter the far
mers have maele oxi'cllciit pre)gressaud
e'xcejd when tho grounel Is low and
wet, ami has to dry bolbre 11 can be cul
tivated, thero noeel not be mueh, If
any, very lato planning. It woulel bo
silo to get all wen); ehuioaudhoeel plant
uel, as soon as posK!o, and then, If the
MKiMiu Is fuvoruMt they will not bo less
or, nuel if It Is unfavorable they will lu
greatly galnei.
We elo not profess to bo wise, but
merely woulel admonish our people to
use caution. It wmihl bo a very Inter
esting mattor to have all (ho years
back to isio well written up, to show
tho character ol all the t-eeisons nnd the
tate of all the crops. Such reliable
statistics woulel bo valuable to study
ami learn lessons from, and on tho
samo system of reasoning by which the
signal M'rvico Is conelucted, ami prog
nostications of tho weather Hindu with
such uniform i-orrectnoss, olwerviitlous
of part seasons might be made useful to
form opinion of the seasons in tho near
future.
Wo nil view tho success of crops ns u
certainty tho present year, nnd unfess
somo untoward condition or destroying
cntife shrill Intervene, that fortunnto
result will probably bo realized. In nny
enso tho wisest and most observing men
among us should nccumulato" experi
ence by study of Nature under nil vary
ing circumstances.
Tho Cause of Tcniperanco
"Wo have always maintained (n tno
Faj(.mi:u n reasonable, and wo thought
iudieious advocacy of tho great cause
Temperanco. As a farm journal and
family newspaper, wo consider it n du
ty, ns well as pleasure, to nssist every
good cause, and Temperance is ono of
tho best, one that goes hand in hand
with Religion and tho bust good of so
ciety. 'Plin Ii14 tnf i.'n liniifnint lion ffe rte.

odly eoudiicl it for tho Interests of tho

ingly decline matter every week, that
Is olfereel, much of which is excellent
and good in its place, but we don't
think its plnco Is the Wili,ami:ttk
Kakmkk, because wo have lo discrimi
nate and not accept what is good if wo
do not think it is suitable.
With regard lo Temperanco wo must
say that wo elo not recognize that it is
to bo advanced by writing eloquent es
says and on rn est appeals in tho news
papers, so much us by proper education
at home, and direct influence nnd ells
interested sympathy in tho communi
ty. Tho Uooel Tomplnrs elo well to
keep their faith pure and strong and
to restrain all within their reach from
tho evil effects of Intemperance. That
is their mission nnd they accomplish
great good by tholr generous nnel kind
ly efforts. Wo glvo space lo tho Direc
tory ef tho Orelor, nuel tho Interesting
correspondence of tho Head of tho Or
eler, in his travels through tho State.
Wo have his respect and confidence
and aelmiro his activity and energy.
Wo publish tho news Items of interest
to the Order, and have not often room
for many essays and appeals.
Wo make these remarks to place tho
relations of the Fak.u:r with tho
'Ji'iiipmrncv cause rightly boforo our
loaders. Wo give In this issue the out
burst of a young lady who rebels against
us because wo could not Hud roon for
her zealous attack on the " Demon
Rum." Tho loiter wo publish Is u
vastly hotter production In our mind,
nnel forty people will read It whoro ono
woulel read her eloijuout nppoal. Tint
fact Is It Is very easy to say enough on
that theme. Work Is what Is wanted
to root out Intemperance. Wo nro in
favor of ns strict legislation on this sub
ject ns the world can bo educated to ac
cept, nuel thero is not much uso In
making laws until the world can begot
to accept them. Laws cannot be maelo
nnd cufore-oel in a freu country by a
minority, so wo must go to work for a
lifetime to eelucnto public sentiment
and retorm public morals. Of courso
tho press can do something can do
much, but organized personal iutluenco
can do much more and that Is what
must bo depended on.
