Letter From Umatilla County.
Miiiwat, Or,. March, 13, 1881.
Editor Willametto Farmer:
Having nccn an article in your issue of
March 4th, headed "A Sorry Story from Mich
igan." Thought I would mako a few remark in
answer to it. Wo did not have threo feet of
now here, on tho first day of Fchruary. The
first of February, wai a pleasant day) we
ncrcr,or very c1dom,have such crops of pota
toes as Mr. Coficld says ho raised lastly tar.
My father raited 300 bushels of good potatoes
on lens than thrcc-fourthi of an acre of bunch
grass sod. Almost all tho Government and
swamp lauds in Western Oregon are taken.
There is a great deal of land in Eastern Oregon
that is vacant, most all of which is good fann
ing land. Kastcrn Oregon is most all cover
ed with hunch (trass: it has heretofore been run
by stock moil, hut is being taken up for tho
purponu oi jnrming. uu raise muse miy
tiling that has been tested in Oregon. It is a
good country for fruit and vegetable.

Mr. William Taylor writes from Marion
county, 1-iit of Salem, under dato of March
Utlit "Kvcry thing looks splendid here in tho
Waldo mils; grain and grass aro growing
fine; tomo few of our neighbor have put in
early garden. Wo had to sell our w heat nt a
low prico but thitiK ioo much of tho Faiiikk
to do without it. Our little folks are pleased
with tho Homo Circle I close, wishing the
Fahmkk succoss and long life."

Editor Willametto Farmer:
Would you bo so kind as to inform me
where n good early variety of sorghum seed
could bo obtained, that has been grown hero
in Oregon and acclimated. I would like to
, plant some this year: I think it can lie grown
hero to good advantage, lty so doing you
will confer a favor on a subscriber,
D. F. Mu.MiEit.
Perhaps tomo of our reader can answer
tho above, wo cannot. It is probablo that
application to those who grow sorghum in
Jackson county will secure a favorable an
swer. KlIlTOIl.
J. I'. Taylor, writing from Cottago firov,
asks why sheep are alb v. el to die for want
of food Kat of tho mountains, when wheat is
to cheap and a littlo of it will do so well to
keep them alive, but he forfeit that wheat is
scarcely ever grown on sheep ranges. Allud
ing to Loraluo's theory on honey dew, that it
is tho excreacencj of insects, he says: "In
Southwestern Miitouri the prairie grew, er
pecially on late burns in a dry Fall, would lie
' saturated vwtli honey dew and several drops
could lie stripped off a blade of grass with the
thumb and finger, which was thought to be
produced by the drying of the gras. A
healthy swarm of bees would fill their hive
and build as much underneath it." He also
thinks we should export pork instead of
wkeat, as the hogs could harvest the grain,
often on rough stumpy ground, and if arti
chokes are of account they could help make
pork. Mr. Taylor promises to some day give
us an account of his success with Kentucky
blue gnus among the fern on the Calipooia
mountains, and believes we shall yet have our
blue grass pastures in Oregon, We kopo to
her from him on this matter as the pasturo
grass question is ot prime importance to this
country
J. W. Wilson writes from Curry county:
"We have had a mild Winter) haen't lost a
koof of stock of aay kind and now have tome
cattle that arc good beef that have run out all
Winter, so we are happy without a break
water at I'ort Orford."
A subscriber writes from Olynipia: "Your
request for your dues received, but I have not
the money to spare just yet, aa times are dull,
but please send on the paper, for a a family
we cannot do without it."
We shall send it on, and are glad to accom
modate good people who require a little delay,
lint certainly the most of our subscribers can
raise the small sum due us punctually, and
delays are very dangerous to us because there
is little profit in the busineas and we have to
pay cash evert' week ourselves, for all we get.
When subscribers don't pay we get into ter
rible straits Kb.

considerable competition for transportation,
and tho great corporation which is construct

Cascades has recently made a reduction of tho

nothing of its evils, cxtept in a small dogrcc,

Editor Willamette Farmer :
I am very thankful for thn attention that
my query, in regard to my chickens, lias re
ceived. I w ill say to those w ho have respond
ednnd wish more particulars, that my chick
ens run at largo, mostly in the orchard; that
they aro fed morning and uvoning on cracked
'wheat, corn' scrap from tho table, and very
frequently they havo awarmbruakfastof mid
tiling or chop mixed up with milk or water
and well seasoned with pepper: I keep a dish
of burned Imncs by them all the time, and the
soil they run on is a red sml with soft gravel
and rock and is on high land. I will admit
that their shelter is not near so comfortable
a I would like to have it, and is not very
well ventilated. I received a private card
from a physician of Hcppncr, stating that the
main symptom were.thoso of Trichina or
Fork Worm, Vory Kcspectfully,

Cocoanut and Chocolate Cake.
Editor Home Circle:
One of your lady readers asked for a receipt
for making cocoanut and chocolitte cake. I
send some that I know to lo good.
Two eggs, one cup sugar, one half cup of
milk, two tahlespoontuls melted butter, two
teaspoonfuls baking powder, and one heaping
cupful of flour. Tin is good for any kind of
cake baked in layer.
For cocoanut cake, use the whites of two
eggs beaten stiff, one half cup of prepared co
coanut; aweeten and flavor to taste.
For chocolate cako take one cup of aweet
cream, flavor with lemon or vanilla, sweeten
to taite, grate into it three tablesioonful) of
chocolate, and when it boils stir into it one
tablespoonful of com starch dissolved in a
little milk. Omitting the chocolate) in this, it
makes nice filling for cream cake; put the
cako together while warm.
Will aomn one give direction for making a
salad out of a tlith of cold io atoe, cabbage,
etc., or any other kind of a good plain salad,
and dreaiing for the aame.

Editor Willamette Farmer:
In the Fakmkr of March 4th, I read an in
teresting article entitled "Early Day," leing
the recollection of Mr. John l'iper, relative to
the early fruit trade of California. Mr, l'iper
is quoted aa saying, "the first box of apple
was shipped to San Francisco from Oregon in
1833 from thn ranch of Lewis Allen and Mr.
Meade, in the vicinity of I'ortland, the owner
having crossed the plains in 1840, and having
brought fruit tree -vith them."
It Mr. Piper i no nearer correct in hi date
than in the name he give to the man who
brought the nursery acroaa the plain in a
wagon (and I am inclined to think he is not),
Mr. Alfred Luelhng might give you more cor
rect reminiscence of name and dates.
Of course it may be that Luelling ha been
tranimognified into Lewi Allen, and Meek
easily changed into Meade, but all the
same injustice has been done to an honest
Welshman, a pioneer of pioneer. I am in
clined to think Mr. Piper is out a couple of
year iu regard to tho first (ending of apple
from Oregon to California. I know that Mr,
Luelling had tree bearing as early as 1850,
from graft ho brought across the plain in
PORTLAND, OREGON,
ISt". Thero wcrn, however, opplo tucs In
bearing in the Willamette valley before Mr,
Luelling caino to Oregon. There were somo
on tho farms of Mr. Joseph Ocrvais and Mr.
Ladar.x.t that looked like they might have
been 10 to 15,ycir old in 1845, and in 1844 I
cat very fair seeding apples, tho product of
the orchard at Fort Vancouver. Mr. Gorais

Smith cannot do better than to use the Long

FRIDAY, MARCH
A VALUABLE PAPER ABOUT VARIETIES OF
WHEAT.
Editor Willamette Farmer:
In your issue of the 18th I notice an experi
ment made by Judge Walt of the yields of
several different varieties of wheat at follows:
Molds, white Velvet, Dillancc, Claw son,
white Winter, and Cheater headed, also tho
tame test with different varieties of oats.
Tluso experiment prove exactly what I have
taiil in my former letters, that truo agriculture
and the liest production of wheats is a science
will worth learning, and has to be understood
by practical observations, In this trial on'c
ounce of ccd of each vvcro used; now, prov id
Ing all tho grains of the dillervnt kinds wcro
ol tho same size and weight and planted at
each varieties best adapted time, tho experi
ment would havo been a proper one, but a
they vary In sire, more ill weight should havo
been used in seeding those that hail the lar
gest grains, Fnr instance, it takes M4 grains
of Molds, to make one ounce, while it only
tnkiafiliO of thn Velvet; the grains being so
much larger it is plain to be steu by any ngri
cultirist that it gives the advantage to thn
Moll variety, over tho Velvet, of 244 grains,
and In Judge Wait test, this quantity of 244
should havo been added to the Velvet to havu
made it equal with the Mold's. You seo at
unco, there would have been that more quan
tity 'of stooling in favor of tho Velvet, which
would probably have inado the yield equal or
even more then the Mold's. The rcsujt of tho
trial of the oat amounts to tho same, whila
wo see that the Hopcton, potato, surprise, and
Scotch Gray, all fell short in the yield, the
reason is that (key are larger and heavier than
theotlurs, hence it take less in number to
mako tho ounce, therefore cannot lie an equal
est, Permit mo now to say how I hcliovo
lirm experiment should ho made with the
iiV.iivaiVt;c'i of icrcalij not that I want
it understood that I havu had moro practical
txMTiencc in these matter of cereal than
others, I am pleased to seo the interest that
Judge, Wait is taking iu the dilfercnt modes,
and all of us may study the science of agrirul
ture a life time, and yt thero wdiild he much
to learn. I have never yet seen a drill that
a a any where near procrly constructed for
drilling wheat, aud there is a great improve'
ment yet to bo made on that very machine
before it will be perfected. In teitiug the dill'
erent varieties of w heat thero are omo v arictii
that fill well aud make fino wheat on cold
wet soils, while I havo others that will scarce
ly produce any grains at all on tho same land,
although they aru much the licstwhcn put on
dryoilthereareagainaomewilltiot do well on
rich soils where other will mature better; and
again some will bear cultivating while other
it would almost ruin. Tim time of seeding
the diirereut kinds make a wonderful diff
crence also in the yield and quality; for iu
stance, those that are slow in growth and late
to mature should be seeded early, while the
vigorous ones would lie ruined by such pracli
vo by going to an excess nfptraw. The proper
quantity of seed to use k.t acre (and that I
tho Iwst way to make such experiment)
should be by actual measure, the quantity ac
cording to the 7o of the grain and its tiller
ing capacity, length of atraw, etc. For in
stance, I hwo ono variety, very large
grain, that I use two and one half bushels,
tint will ylel from forty to sixty bushels; I
have other that I usu two and a peck, other
that I use two, and some one and thrte pecks,
and a few that one and a half is sullicieut.
This practice should bo followed to make a
fair trial or a success, Lut Summer I tested
eight varieties in the way above mentioned
and there was only oue tliat como up with
the Velvet in yield, and it wa very much
inferior iu quality, A few words on that
subject: I have the Mold Clawsou and
quantity of other, whites, ambers, and reds;
too numerous to name, the Mold is a fine
va iety and well worth raising, but I have a
dozen other tliat are still finer in quality, I
have just sent Mr, Touguo of HilUboro, 32
samples, all white varieties and the whole are
very fine, but after all my trialsandexpefieiue
on Fall varieties every thing considered I
prefer the Velvet, I believe it extell all other
in true merit. A few words on reds: I have
many of them, and some are remarkably fine,
much finer than the white Kussian that some
are so anxious to get them for siediug, and
will out yield it, but I would nut ad rise any
one to grow any red or amber wheat at all.
I have the white Itutsian as It is called, but
really it should be named Russian amber or
red Itutsian as there is no white about It. I
am much sutprised that fariuet a will tinker
with it and other rid vanitic. Il I had Uu
thousand bushil of it, or iv-n if it wa given
to me, I w ould not seed a bushel of it. '1 hete
is a big risk in stllint; or shipping any of the
red varieties, and even if they could tell it

always under price iu tho English markets,
and I have never yet found any red variety
tliat will yield equal with the whitm or make
aa linen quality nf flour, neither will they
receive them in the warehouse in this neigh
borhood and give a merchantable receipt. I
was also conversing the other day, with as
good a miller a I belluvo there is iu Oregon
on the shipping of red wheat and of the
quality of Hour made fiotn tho aainci he, said
he shipped twenty-four car Joida of white
(rVoat and in tluin wcro only twenty three
sacks ot red wheat and naid when they arrived
In Portland they found twenty two of them,
and set them aaido lint receiving llicin. At
another tlmo a few more of them ero found
aud treated tho same way, Aftcl harvest as
I was hauling iu my white velvet to tho ware
house, a neighbor had a littlo red wheat that
ho wanted to exchange for the velvet for seed;
thu warehouseman told him if it wn over
twenty bushel ho would not tako it into tho
warehouse, 1 also enquired uf this miller if
ho could make lino a quality nf llnur from
the red varlctiv as from tho whiten! hu replied
ho could not, that the bran of the red would
alfict the color of the Hour, and hoped the
farmer would nut raise any. There it it cer
tainly a loss to the (lovcnimcnt for distribut
ing thiao needs yearly to Oregon. In conclu
sion; with my past practical ex 'Ci'icu(.o with
over forty whitu popular named varieties of
our own naticm and others, I consider that
the whlto velvet merits moro good qualities
for a Fall variety than any other.
