FAKM PRODUCTS.
In this department there i a good show
made by a few persons, from a limited locality
in the Willamette valley, instead of a full dis
play of the farm products of all parts of our
State and Washington Territory.
Mr. George Belshaw, of Eugene, is on hand
"with his many fine specimens nf grains. With
14 entries he takes eleven first premiums on
velvet wheat, white Winter wheat, white
chaff mammoth wheat, Canada white wheat,
ninety-day wheat, Oregon Spring wheat, club
wheat, Sonora wheat, best bushel of any kind
of wheat, best display of sheaves of Winter
wheats; best display of grain grown by on
man. He also takes premiums for white Chili
wheat, white Clawson wheat, and display of
aheaf oats. Mr. Belshaw is one of those enter
prising and successful farmers who identify
themselves with the country and with the
State Agricultural Society, and never fails to
do his share t wards making a display of
cereals, and few men anywhere show more
capacity for improving our agriculture. We
are glad to note for the encouragement of
strangers that Mr. Belshaw is an Englishman.
Mr. C. P. Burkhart, of Albany, is another
enterprising farmer who continually makes
experiments, and gives the benefit of his best
experience to the world. Mr. Bnrkhart wis
one of the former presidents of the Society,
and has been identified with it from the first.
There is a generous rivalry between a few
men, who compete here annually to their mu
tual credit. Mr. Burkhart is one of these and
carries off his full share of honors. This year
ho takes 1st premiums, as follows: On Touz
el wheat, white Clawson wheat, gold chaff

ciety's veterans, whose honorable emulation
aids every annual fair. His home is at Oak
ville, near Corvallis, over in Linn county,
where his home is shrined in by oaks that
compel the admiration of the beholder, and
his farm has every natural claim for excel
lence. This year his 1st premiums includo

ber of families left Kansas, this Spring -with
the intention of locating in North Idaho. We
have the room and the land fr all.
Walla Walla Union: Last Thursday Bob
Williams exhibited a bit of a limb of a xthcriy
tree of the Royal Ann variety which -was
nches long and on which growing 117 large
chemes. The cluster weighed 3 pounds and
S ounces.
Western Leadei : A correspondent of the
Waitsburc Times says: "Mr. fCchran, a
public spirited man and liberal gentleman, hue
throw n out a parcel of land on his premises
for a town site. The land is beautifully loca
ted on Dry creek, 10 miles from Walla WaUa,
about the same from Waitsburg, and one mile
fi om the Dixie school house, near.tbe inter
section of two mountain roads with.what is
generally known as the upper or iLewiston
road, leading from Walla Walla te Dayton.
A chop null, a dry goods and grocery store,
aud other business and industries are in con
templation. The melancholy forebodings regarding the
grain crop up through the Walla Waal&valley
are not, very fortunate ly, being i realized.
l'he rain resuscitated fields thaimad'been con
sidered hopeless, and throughout, from all
leports, there will be at least an average
ci op. But probably the best grain between
he Cascades and blue Mountains, is to be
found in the neighborhood of Western.
Ashland Tidings: The Plaindealer of last
week says: "Col. Hurlburt's railroand sur
veying party are engaged surveying around
he big bci'd of Cow creek. Tlio best grade
that could bo found through the Canyon w us
110 feet to the mile, and one bridge to be
built on tlio route will have lo, be 715 feet
high, or to save that, it will lie neoessary to
make a considerably greater number
of tunnels." As the authority for this state
ment is not mentioned, wo take that it is not
official, and we might sy, perhaps upon
equally good authority, that we have heard
that a grade of 7." feet to the mile could be
hn. From u gentleman who uvea hcud Cal.
Hmlburt talking about the matter, however,
we have the latest lepoi t, which is that a 00
foot grado could be hid without dilliculty.
This we might call "semi-ofhcial" m the
second degree,
A Watson correspondent of the Grant Co.,
News says: Warfield t Davis got a little
more than 10,300 pounds of wool from 10S0
sheep, or an average of more than six pounds.
It seems that the parties who contracted wool
10 Watson &. Irwin were badly taken in, al
though everyone got, or will get the full mar
ket prices for their wool by selling to other
parties. Watson 4 Irwin have not taken . a
pound of the wool that they contracted ior.
This is the second time that the people of this
valley have been imposed upon in the same
manner; doubtless the last time with many of
them.
