Value of Good Farming.
No doubt tlie nvurnge yield of wheat
iu Oregon has been greatly reduced
the present year, by the anxiety men
havo felt to Improvo tho certainty of
good prices, by having as largo a sur
plus as possible to dlsposo of. With
this Idea men havo plowed up much
land that was so foul as to Imperatively
need summer-fallowing, and as n con
soquonco they havo cultivated weeds
and wild oats to tho dotriment of tho
wheat crop. Tho tlmo has como when
good cultivation is needed to insure
fair returns. If land Is worth $i!fi to
$10 per acre, tho only show to mako it
bay interest on its value Is to cultlvato
it well and got certain returns in that
manner. Jn traveling tnrougn mo up
per counties last July wo could plainly
sco ovldonco of poor cultivation, and
now that many of these poorly cultiva
ted fields havo boon cut and threshed
tho owners of them ought to realize
that in the long run thoro Is moro pro
fit and vastly moro satisfaction In doing
good work and securing good crops as
a consequence.
Too many men in this world do a
hap hazard business and livo from
hand to mouth. Somo men aro nev
er fortunate which Is tho torm thoy
ubo for not being successful nnd al
most invariably tho fault is in thorn
nelves, Thoy fail to npprcciato tho
need of good manngement and expect
too much from labor, howover Injudi
cious. It is true that many feel Im
pelled by necessity to undertake more
than thoy can do well, but there is a
wonderful deal of truth in tho saying:
"What Is well dono is twico dono."
This maxim applies with us much foreo
to tho affairs of tho farmer as to any
class of business on tho faco of tho
earth.
It Is an undoubted fact that if ovory
ono limited his effort to doing only
what ho could do well, ho would havo
an caslorllfo, a moro rational on3, and
reap much moro satisfaction from his
efforts. This valloy is owned, a great
portion of Ufhy mon who possess moro
land than thoy havo use for. It is for
tho best interests of 'tho pnoplo that
imputation shall Increase, to permit
echools and all social privileges and en
courogo many other Hl'HImiUo enter
prises. Great farms almost invariably
mean poor cultivation and scattered
neighborhoods. Wo do not expect to
convince ovory man who has ono or
two thousand acres that ho could make
moro money and load a happier life on
Jl'JO acres of good laud, well cultivated,
but wo bo iovo that such would bo tho
case and wo hope to muko somo im
pression by continually keeping tho
mattor in sight.
Thorough cultivation means good
crops of wheat and oats, good meadows
and gardens and orchards, and jmsturo
lands of tho bost tamo grasses, instead
of which wo see large tracts of land
and much poor cultivation, with not a
really good pasture of tamo grasses to
lo found In a day's ride. If thoro is
one important item of farming that is
greatly neglected It relates to tho culti
vation of tame grasses. Tho original
grasses havo disappeared. It is of par
amount Importance that wo Investigate
thoroughly to ascertain what grasses
will support tho most stock and then
proceed to get our pasture lauds in
good condition and make thorn as pro
ductive as wheat Hold, which is dono
in Kuglaud and certainly can bo dono
hero.
The State Fair.
Tho tlmo approaches for the holding
of tho annual Fair of tho State Agri
cultural Society, and many circumstan
ces combine to Justify tho expectation
that tho Fair will bo largely attended
and provo a decided success. Tho sea
son hns been very propitious for growth
of crop.s nnd also for the general health
of our pcoplo; prices of all our products
aro such as to cause general prosperity
among tho farming community; In
creased Interest Is taken annually in
the State Fair ns a means of growth
and Improvement of individual-, and
as nn Indication of the progress and do
volopmcnt of our State.
All theso circumstances unite to fa
vor tho hope that tho people of Oregon
will bo present next month in large
forco to partlclpato in tho enjoyments
of Fair week and wo liopo they will
neglect tho duty that devolves on them
as producers to contribute towards tho
exhibit, so that in every department
tho show will bo complete, and a satis
factory proof of tho capabilities and re
nown of our State.
Thoro has always been a lack of in
terest nnd ontorpriso on tho part of
many who could ndd greatly to tho dis
play if thoy would bring their products
and placo them on exhibition. They
aro apt to loavo it to others to mako the
exhibit, not realizing that it requires
tho united effort of all to mako tho dis
play a perfect ono and most creditable
to our State.
