WILLAMETTE FARMER : PORTLAND, OREGON, OCTOBER 28, 1881.

'if
GENERAL N0TE3.
Weston Ltader: Mr. W. P. Crow of Mil
ton informed us that he had at last received
i his sorghum mill from the East and that he
I would at once proceed to press out ana evap-
orato the saccharine sweetness to the consist-
'. ency of syrup. In due timo he will he able
. to furnish all who desire a ?ooa rciisn lor
their hot cakes with any quantity of sorghum
syrup.
Mssrs. Reedor and Bostwick, of Grease,
wood, harvested this year seven hundred acres
of wheat. Of this, five hundred and fifty
acres was lall wheat and the balance spring.
The vield was 15,820 bushels, machine meas
ure. Thoy commenced sowing in October
and occupied about six ceks. The grain
sown last yielded much better than that sown
earlier, thero being a difference of from five
to ten bushels per acre in favor of that last
put in. Their sixty acres of barley gavo an
average yield of thirty-three bushels to the
acre.
Mountaineer: Mr. Cochran has settled
near Spanish Hollow, in company with
James Downing, and purposes to enter upon
stock raising. He reports bunch-grass on the
benchland, as being in prime condition j with
excellent promise for the coming year. Mr.
Cochran savs the yield of wheat in his neigh
borhood has-been first rate; remarking that
our notice of the yield upon 7 acres cultivated
hv Mr. Erxinonear Mud Sprints, is incorrect.
It should have read, 5"! bushels of wheat per
acre upon 7 acres of sod, instead of old ground
as represened-
Our cntercetio townsman, Mr. Benj. Snipes,
informs us that he lias thi3 week turned off
BOO head oi fat cattle to go over the moun
tains from his range to tho Sound. Mr.
Snibcs renorts a priino start for fall grass
and tho white sace, and looks upon tho pros
nect for stock the coining winter as good;
cattle being in excellent condition.
Mr. J. J. Griffin, of Fifteen Mile reports
the product of GO acres of his bench land
wheat to bo 2.74S bushels, machine measure
of excellent wheat. Mr. G. also gave us a
very excellent account of his experiment
with tobacco raising, lie assures us that
Oregon soil is admirably adapted to its culture,
saying that lie could produce 1200 pounds of
average quality per acre. Why not grow
our own sheep dip on our own soil ?
Wasco Sun: J. L. Hallct after performing
such prodigious engineering feats as 'to placo
him far ahead of the other great railroad
builders" of the age, intends to excel himself
the coming twelve months on tho line of the
Northern Pacific. The work to be performed
Ef there is vastly moro difficult than has been
encountered even along tho Columbia river.
Hallet, however allows no obstacles to inter
fere with his orders to "go ahead and build."
He is one of that class who will obey orders
even if he has to break the owners.
Walla Walla Union: Wo have been in
fnrm.,,1 tlmt Rtcns are beinc taken to estab
lish a fruit caunery in this city, compluto in
all its departments. Tho gentlemen who are
going into the enterprise are men of means,
who have faith in the paying qualities of the
investment. They will send a competent man
to California to cxamino tho best canneries
there before deciding on a plan of operations.
Suitable buildings will bo erected, aud an
experienced hand employed as foreman, and
next year will find Walla Walla canned fruit
and vegetables seeking a place in the markets
f tho world. As Walla Walla fruits and
-vegetables have a finer flavor than California
grown, it will only be necessary to can them
in a proper manner and place innm on iniw iu
secure a ready sale. 4
Jacksonville Time: Wo learn that Nick
Fickle sold 1,000 head of stock sheep to par
tics from the Umpqua, for SI 23 per head.
The activity of tho sheep trado this Fall
eeems to argue well for this industry in our
valley.
AValker & Wrisley have closed their syrup
manufactory for tho season. Wo understand
they have manufactured about 1,500 gallons
of syrup this year. It has been of excellent
quality and finds ready sale.
J. N. T. Miller and Raphael Moratt are
now engaged in packing their large vineyards.
As the g'rape crop is much larger this season
than usual, a largo amount of wine and brandy
will be manufactured.
Salem Stattinum : The O. R. and h. Co.
is building a new dock and warchouso at the
landing here, to tako the place of tho old one
constructed some fifteen or sixteen yeirs ago
by Jasper Matheny. The frame work of the
warehouse is up and ready for tho roof.
St. Helen's Columlian: Stephen Haines
sent us down 12 cabbages, each averaging 2S
pounds, and a royal beet. He also sent one
down to Encch Shintafler, weighing 34 pounds,
aud a magnificent beet.
Saver Correspondence: Wheat from King's
valley is coming in lively, aud if the weather
is not too bad, another week will about finish
the hauling. A good many fanners have tok
en advantage of the high price for wheat and
sold. It has caused money to be quite plenty,
and consequently business in our little burg is
lively.
Vancouver independent: Thursday last ws
the big day at the Clarke County Fair, aud
tho attendance Urge. Two Portland horses
were also on hand to make a pretty trotting
race, which had its attractions. Hon. John
F. Caples aho delivered an excellent address
to the people assembltd, which was well re
ceived. Friday was not so pleasant, but the
attendance was fair, Saturday was devoted
to closing out the perishable articles exhibited,
at auction, and a race or awo came off. Tho
first fair is over. It was more successful than
t first anticipated, and an iuterest has been
awakened that will insure a still greater sue-
- ecss next year, and after a few exhibitions our
"fair will become famous throughout the
country.
Vancoaver Independent: One of the fanners
living in the Flatwoodt district 'Dd us a re
port of the butter production this season in
the district, within a mile each way of the
Flatwoods school house, which is getting to be
one of the best butter producing districts in
this county. Following are tho names of the
farmers, and the number of pounds of butter
they have mado for sale this season:
On tho Curtis place 2,200
Mr. Cross 1.000
Mr. Anderson 800
A. Higdon "100
A. Lecper 1.100
E. J. Kicketts 1.8G0

Tho variety of potatoes known as tho Peer
less does some big things in this country at
times. We havo seen several specimens weigh
ing 5 pounds, and onco the product of one hill
was brought to this ofhee, weighing ovar -o
pounds, tho largest potato going 51 pounds. A
man in Yamhill county, this year, exhibited
four Peerless potatoes weighing 21 pound3.
Georgo Tooley, of Vancouver, this Spring, cut
ono Peerless potato to single eyes, planted
them, and the harvest from that ono potato
gave 150 pounds, 259 potatoes large and small,
tho smallest an inch and a half in diameter.
The Peerless is very well named for the yield.
Walla Walla Statesman : After Mr. Villard
viewed the enormous stacks of grain piled
up on tho Blue mountain line, ho ordered
lumber to bo hauled immediately for the pur
pose of protecting it from tho inclemency of
the weather. Gen. Tannatt, of tho Oregon
Improvement Company, took tho order, and
on last Saturday sent over 32,000 feet of
boards and 18,000 feet of other lumber.
Spokano Chronicle : It is understood here
that Gen. Miles, liko Captain Hunter and
other military officers, favors the plan of cre
ating at Spokane Falls ono largo permanent
encampment, abandoning tho three military
posts now sustained by tho government, and
at certain seasons of the year taking part of
the forco from tho encampment for field duty:
for instance, about tho fishinc season fin the
Indians in the Colville legions.
Walla Walla Union : Tho unexpected good
price obtained for wheat this Fall has mado
the farmers of this county feel happy.
Since tho ram storm cleared aud the sun
his been shining a careful examination of the
thousands of sacks of wheat which had been
exposed to tho weather at tho various depots
in this country, proves that tho croakers were
at fault, and that no perceptible damage has
been sustained.
Mountaineer : It is surprising to know that
every State in the Union except Colorado pro
duced tobacco. Kentucky leads all the States,
plantiug 220, 120 acres, and raising 171,120,784
pounds. Maine raises the least, planting less
than an acre, and producing only 250 pounds.
Oregon plants 43 acres, and raises 17,323
pounds. Washington Territory plants 8
acres, and raises 0,930 pounds. Tho total
acreage of this article in the United States is
038,841, and tho product amounts to
472,081,159 pounds. This profitable industry
can without doubt becomo an important one
in Oregon. Instead of 43 acres, it should be
as many hundred acres.
Dalles Mountaineer : We were much grati
fied to meet Messrs. Lauteren and Birce, Ger
man and English engineers, employed by the
Central Pacific Railroad Company to search a
routo for rail communication of that road
with the Columbia valley. These gentlemen,
with amplo outfit for such rough work, had
crossed the southern line of Oregon and ex
plored northerly, striking tho waters of John
Diy's and down its valley to tho Columbia,
examining such localities as seemed to promise
suitable approach to this city.
Dufur, Wasco county, correspondence : The
yield of all kinds of grain is greater than
farmers anticipated, and the sizo of vegetables
beat3 everything. Mr. J. A. Gullifoid left at
the store in Dufur six potatoes of the variety
of Early Rose aud Snow Flake, weighing 12
pounds, tho heaviest on3 weighing 3 pounds j
and Mr. J. J. Griflin left at the samo place
twelve potatoes of tho Snow Hake variety
which weighed 23 pounds, the heaviest weigh
ing 3 pounds ; also, a squash of tho Acorn
variety weighing 40 pounds, and a turnip
weighing ISi pounds. The above wero grown
on bunch grass hill land, without irrigation.
Correspondence Goldeudale Gazelle : Co
lumbus is getting to bo quite a lively place,
hauling in gram and railroading making
things look quite lively here. About thirty
teams loaded with wheat arrive every day.
There is now on tho bank 500 tons of grain for
shipment. A steamer is daily expected to
take it away. The Columbus people are
somewhat excited over tho railroad which -s
sure to be built on this side of the Columbia
river. Mr. White and party (sixteen men)
are now surveying just below here, and have
at this time two miles of road located.
Cheney, Spokano county, Tribune : Tiie
meeting called at Medical Lako on Saturday
of last week for the purpose ot organizing a
Couuty Agricultural Society was so thinly
attended, on accouut of bad weather, that'it
was thought best not to tako any definite ac
tion in the premises, but to call another meet
ing at an early day. The farmers of the
county are all anxious for such an organiza
tion, and a society like the one designed can
be made a grand factor in developing our
wonderful agricultural resources. The from
forty to sixty bushels of wheat to the acre,
which our farmers luvo harvested tfiis eeuon,
tells the story of our prosperity. Let our
fanners organize, then, and intelligently fos
ter onr agricultural industries, that they may
reap the full measure of the advantages that
are so easily within their reach.
Dalles Timet; Col. Thomas S. Lang as
umed editorial charge of the Mountaineer
this week. We extend the fraternal hand to
the Colonel, and feel satisfied that under his
management the paper will prosper, as there
are few abler writers on the coast.
Wheat is selling at a fair price, but owing
to tho great distance ft-mer have to haul to
shipping points a very mall price is realized
ia the end by the produ.er. Cold Spring,
Cumming Lauding nd luue Mountain are
receiving the bulk of grain.

Editor Willamette Fanner:
Dkak Sik : I want to expres my tnot
sincere thanks to you for tho articlo in Uet
week paper (Oct. 14), entitled " Facing tho
Situation." I think an occaeiofial article of
like cooil sense would place the Faumke frt..
eminently at the head as tho fanners' paper.
(The foreL'oina is received from a well
known Linn county fanner, who livc near
Albany.)
We rejuet all who havo received portal
cards requesting renewal to examine tho date
carefully, and in cate of any error, mlorm us,
thrt we may cornet tl.o same. We have re.
ceived several such corrections, and looking
back to the dates named find that our cah
book always confirms the clim made. Emm
will occur in keeping such a lut, because all
is set up in type, and the printer sometimes
makei a mistake in hu work. We are very
anxious to do justice to all, and only need to
be informed properly of an error, if one
exists. 1"

Information wai received at Denver that

It is stated that Queen Marguerito will ac

the king's proposed visit to lierliii will bo

Tho ollicew of tho Ninth Massachusetts

conduct of their men during thu Yorktowu

for tho complaint. The men are mostly Dem

They were insulted aeveral times on their way

Judge fJarry was renominated on tho 24th
