VOL. XIV. j0rrc0nj!ttw Another Letter on Bop Orowing. Bottkvillk, Or., Nov. 26, 1882. Editor Willamette Farmer: Mr. Wells, in writing on hop growing, says "that BriDcly loam is preferable." I have seen hops raised on all grades of land from beaver dam, that was so wet that timothy would not grow, to red hills, and the best crop I ever saw was on R. C. Geer's place in the Waldo hills, although Mr. Buchanan, near here in Clackamas county, raised this year on beaver dam one ton of first en p to the acre, You can raise hops on old worn-nut fields by judicious manuring. We think here that any time from November tj April 15th fo a good time to plant hops. I have seen it tried at all times, and I would sty: Plant between those times any timo if your g-ound is in order. Nobody here will s t hops eight feet apart any more. It has been tried eight, six and seven feet. That is important in planting hops. Let me give Mr Wells some advice on that. I get my start of Mr. Wells, but have plowed them up and set the Engl sh cluster hops. The fii;t I set eight feet apart, but it took about 1,400 poles for the 700 Mils to the acre. Seven feet apart makes about 900 hills to the acre, and one pole to the hill makes 000 poles. There is a saving of poles (500 to an acre) r a saving is setting, tying up and pulling in picking time, besides the hops are better as the sun can shine on all of them. No light hops in center of hill, and they are easier picked. The vines do not reach across so much, and so it lets in more sun, and finally there is a larger yield per acre. I have taken a great deal of notice orWiiriast, and find it uniformly to be aTlact that the one pole will bear almost as much, and often more to the hill than where there are two poles to the hill. Try it, Mr. Wells. I have sec out a gocd many hops by furrowing the ground each way, the required distanco apart then dropping the sets, like I would potatoes, where the furrows intersect, and covering with a hoe about tha tame as pota toes. It Ed vis labor, and I like it as well as any way. Hop poles should be from twelve to eighteen feet long according to the richness of the grout. (1, and as to how windy a place it is in. I have seen 18-foot poles make frm 4 to 6 pounds of cured hops to the hill on R. C. GeerVp'ace." Set out one male hop to 100 hills plauted. We make holes with a common crowbar, weighing about 20 pounds or more. The vines may b trained as toon as they will reach the pole, and till they are four feet long or longer I have trained them at six feet, but it is not a good idea. I always train without reference to the weather ; I can't wait for the sun in Oregon. I train three vines to the one pole, although two or four are sometimes used, Will follow the subject in the nex. !t I Joel P. Geer. Extra Steps Jottings. Editor Willamette Farmer : One of my neighbors is building a barn. It is 60 feet long, with the stablo placed on the side.'' The door to the stable is at the end farthest to the house, so ihat to reach tbe'door an extra GO feet must be traveled. If six trips and return are made each day to the stab'e, there is an extra 240 yards traveled, or'in sev en days nearly a mile, and in the course of the year there have been fifty miles traveled, all on account of the stable and door being in the wrong end of the barn. And should there be more than one team used requiring two or more hand, the extra travel will amount to a hundred or more miles. Another neighbor who docs his own chores, in addition to the regular work on his" farm, has hit barn, milk sheds and hog pen, all in different directions from the house, necessitat ing a separate trip to feed hones,' a' return to the house, than a trip to fted the hogs, a re turn to the honse again, and then a trip to milk the cows. Plow out yonr middle furrows. After fin ishinr the lands, set the plow to run three or four inches deeper, so that every middle fur row will act as a drain to carry off surface wa ter. Even though the dirt may fall back and partly fillip the furrow, it will still act as a drain by reason of it greater dspth. I have been plowing a, piece of wet, stiff clay-, on which we- have not been able to grow a half of crop h-ivtofore, I have plowed it early. I used a 14-inch J. 1. Case plow,aud let it down to a full 12 inches in the middle furrow, throwing np in some placea the pure yellow clay. Repeated freezing I thick will fi,t it for sowing early iu thfpring, At the lower ead of field, I cut a ditch to carry off water from middle furrow. For extra plowing, ditchiog and extra price on plow, I estimate one dollar per acre plowed. Will the increased profit on crop raited justify the outlay I We shall see. Too poor to take a paper. Yes; but no: too poor to treat a dozen friends to a cigar or glata of beer. Not too poor to attend the circus or social hop; not too poor to deny self of aDy gratifications except that of food for the mind knowledge for the ignorant advice to the simple, and an aid to the seek- r of truths. A owns a hop yard. When asked to anliiciibe for n paper, be replied "he could not afford it," but that same paper stated eaily in the s as an that hop growers could demand and re ceivc their own price. for hops this year. A dil not see or hear nf the failure in Europe; co isequcntly engaged his hops at 25 cents. B tajk the paper, held his hops, and bought his neighbor's until he obtained 15,000 pounds, and last week sold for SI C5 per pound. I wanted to know how to raise ptnch s in the Willamette Valley. By taking this and that from one and the other papers, and mix iig them together with a little brains I have it, that is a method of grow ing peaches, so in ecry farmer's experience. No man tht thinks and acts for himself, but what finds the agiicullural journals almost invaluable to to him. It would be as hard to rnn a farm without tools as to do without good pipers. J. S.

The Pott-Intelligencer, a most ably-conducted paper, in a recent editorial gives some good, practical ideas on diversified farming. Itcjys: Every man who owns a 20-acre farm in this country might to salt his own pork, cure his own bacon, put up a barrel of two of prime corned beef for borne consumption, dry or salt hip own salmon, can hi own fruit, be in dependent of the world in the matter of but ter, eggs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and vegetables of all descriptions. People do these things, all except the salmon, which they cannot catch or get a iwash to catch for them, in California on ten acres, in some esses on five acres, where they have to pay high rates for irrigating facilities. Our people ought to do these things on 20 acres, and have a large surplus to .dispose of a surplus the money value of which would buy all the clothes, books, sugar," coffee and tea and other household supplies needed. ' Until this diversified farming and it must be conducted industriously, intelligently and economically takes the place of the.pres.nt systen., which looks in too many cases to one staple as the source of supply for all thing; ; years of superabundance will continue to'al ternate with years of pinched scarceness, and the number of cozy farmhouses built with reference to the comfort of all their inmate', and adorned with all the useful modern im provements will decrease rather than increase! Pasture lot, pig pen, orchard and fowl house, petato field, stable, berry patch anil kit-hen gsrden are ea;h one a necessary and insepara ble adjunct of the well-conducted farm, the diversified branches of which the intelligent farmer will find fully as much pleasure as profit in. The tendency of the farm of to-day however, and of this region is, we are sorry t toy, too much in a different direction. We 'ook and hope for a cbanfo of front all along the line. Lydia E.

' The writer has spent a brief period travel ing about ihe Sound, making one land jur ney, to visit the Newcastle coal mines. He oilers you the result of his observation, which, possibly, may be of some importance, be c mse he has had many years' connection ith agriculture elsewhere, and has personal knowl edge of the Paciffc Northw est through all its different sections. I have always wondered why the Sound qointry did not attract more immigration, and have belieed the time would come, and not distant, when tho wonderful forests and mineral resouiccs of this region would be supplemented by a great corresponding agri cultural devel ipmcnt. One year ago I spent a week on the Sound, literally; for I put no foot ashore except to spend a Sabbath at Se att'e. I then became a little acquainted with tho Swinomish country as the tide lands and valley contiguous to the Skagit aro called and saw what vast production that limited area is capal le of. I came back a year later to rea'ize that my tint impressions were too jow, and that agriculture must some time ri val the mines of coal and iron, and the forests of fir, spruce, and cedar, that now attract popular attention almost to the expulsion of other considerations. But I will not allow that agriculture is a minor consideration. It can and should boa powerful auxiliary to mineral and forest wealth. We may depend on it that, as these wear away and decresse, ago culture will spread and trow more and more powerful. England is rich, because of her coal and iron, but the small area pf tie British Islands that compares with our Pacific Northwest has agricultural product it e capacity that does its full share to build t'ie grand prosperity of the British Empire. So the Sound region must use its agriculture .. j.. uil: x ( Upon it that your home market will always increase, and create a home demand for you agricultural products. For twenty years past when I have asked concerting agriculture in this direction I have been met with tho assurance that, all alo g the sound the soil u woithle s, that clay subsoil comes near the suifice; that s6metiims the largest fits stand upon a rcky platfuiin, and where prairie land is found it is all gravelly. It is conceded that there are a few bottoms and some good fanning land in spots on mainland and islands, but, year after year, tl3 shake of the head 'emphasized the reitetation that the Sound country has little outcome except forests. Then come coal discoveries, but the nun of science puudits, who cunt from great literary and scientific centers slid this coal was only lignite, and that no coal that act j ally was coal existed w st of the continental backbone. They du j up fe ssils and left us to our fate. The sound country has been sleeping these many ages, with untold wealth and uusur passed natural resources waiting for resume tion. Not least of all its potency of promise was a rich toil that on create a successful ag riculture. L-.t me commence at Tacoma and come along the main'and northward. There is the Puyallup region ; that needs no aid of pen to write it up. The hop yards that coin fortunes therd yearly, are enly the aeant cou- rut of the agncilture that shall always make Puyallup famous. We crocs an easy divide to come down iuto the widespread bottom lands of WJiite, Green and Cedar riv ers, and Duwamish valley, all of which equal the fertility of the Puyallup, and rival oven its hops,. While these lands are nearly all taken up, they are not by any means the only locations in this county worthtaking, Squak river and lake, and Squak slough that leads into, Lake Washington, p assesses wide and far-reaching bottom lands, mostly vacant as yet, some of them within a dozen miles of Seattle, 'the Queen Ci'y of the Sound.' Through all this stretch of rich valley soil, .there is only now and then a settler. North again, and in this county, within easy reach of Seattle, is the Snohomish, and its greater tributary, tbe Snoqua'faie, that offer bottoms ix or seven miles wide, and probably twenty miles Ion?, with few occupants. In this range of bottom lands alone there is room for hundreds if not thousands of settlers, to plant homes and make farms as good aa those of Puyallup and White River. Without going into a statement ot details as to where smaller extent of bottom lands exist, with often the richest of tide flats, a few steps north takes us to the onderfu) skagit country. There we find wide spread tide lands, the Oiympia Marsh, supposed to contain 50,000 acres, and the extensive upper valleys constitute the greatest of all areas in tbe Paget Sound region.. Tbe Skagit, with kOic aid from man, can be navigated eighty FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1882. miles. Its delta reaches from just beyond JJtealady to justbejoud Laconner. What- CVii will be tho grandest agricultiir.il, county in? all Western Washington. Your own county will not bo far behind. I was lately at Bi-llingh.im Bay, which lus roascd up from ob'cniity within a year, and shows progress of a stable sort. Duiiuj; the year two hun dred families have go.io into the bottom lands of the Nooksack and the old alley back of the bay, where Fraser river once tu'ed to bii an American stream. That part of Whatcom county divided from the Skagit by the Chuckanut hills, that come down to the Sound shore is all superior soil, capable of sustaining a dense population. To the Brit ish line, and beyond, th land is all excellent, and is attracting more immigration at preie than even the wonderful Skagit country. Following the Sound shore north from Ta coma to British Columbia, we have passed our valley lands that reach back thirty to fifty miles from the Sound shore to the foot hills of the cascade mountains. We seeth.t hey are capable of sustaining thousands of families, where now aro only hundreds. It is hot merely good laud, but is the best of bot tom land soil that can not be excelled, but must sometimes be subdued by considerable labor, for these bottoms are often giownover with aider aud vine maple that must be cleared off. A look at its productiveness n ill show how well it repays the outlay. Let us take a lo k, now, at tho uplands that separate these streams, covered, as they are with heavy timber, and see if they arc capable of produc ing crops and worth the cost of labor to clear them. We will, also, learn how they cau be cleared. Passing up tho road to Newcastle! on the coal and passenger train, Wednesday, Nov. 22, 1 met a gentleman who knew me of old, Mr. G. W. Tibbctts, to whom I am indebted for much valuabe informstion. Ho introduced us(to Mr. Smithers of Renton, whose farm in cluded the site of that town. Mr. Tibbetti lives in Squak valley, five miles from the Newcastle coal mine, aud had rented Mr. Smithcr,' farm four j ears. The part of it in grass (timothy) produced regularly three tons to the acre. Mr. Smithers expected to sell fifty tons yet unsold for $20 a ton, or $60 an acre. That grass had originally been siwn on charred land that ,was never grubbed or plowed, but was slashed and burned, and had stood, without reseeding, for eighteen years bearing regularly thren tons of excellent hay. It is claimed that Col, Squire, whose farm is on Black river, nearly raised four tons of timothy to the acre this year, and lately sold 250 tons, delivered at the place for $16, which was $04 per ocro for cutting and curing the hay. The reader cin figure at his leisure how that pays interest on land. At regular inter est in old countries tho land would be worth $1000 per acre. Mr. Tibbe ts was my authority concerning the land in the Squak and Snoqualmie river bottoms I have bifurj alluded to. He says he lately went oser the Snoqualmie country and was greatly astonished at the revelation made to him nf the agricultural wallh of King county. He resides in Squak valley and, of course knew of that section. Having drawn from these gentlemen interesting facts concerning the bottom lauda of this county, I asserted my belief that the uplands will also prove valuable, and recci cd the fullest con firmation from them that such is the case. They instanced tho ridge, averaging six mills wide, between Grien and Cedar rivers, ex tending thirty milts back to the mountains, and assured me that all of it was the best of laud for wheat and grain of all kinds, and for vegetables and fruits. While not so luxuri ant for grass as the valleys, this upland is al most as easily cleared, and is of valuo equal to the bottom for most purposes. The soil is rich, randy loam, two to three feet deep. There are small ponds all through the timber lands all about tho Sound, and while they in stanced this particular section btcause they knew' it best, thev considered it beyond dis pute that the great majority of the timbered upland is of tho best quality of soil, and watered and capable of growing all sorts of grain, fruits and vegetables to the best ad vantage. So it appears that tbe f cor soil that exist close to the Sound shores and on many of the islands for it does exist is local, and the great bulk of county from the moun tains to the Bound waters is of the best quality, Mr, Miller, your late Senator, told ine a year ago that along the coast, nouth of Cape Flattery, he had found a beautiful stretch of country between tbe Coast Range and the ojean. No doubt there are good spots along the eastern shore of tbe greit peninsula ; it is beyond question that good laud rcnuini un occupied in some nf the Islands that throng Sound water. The ruth of immigration is, of course, for tbe open fertile praiiies of the wido interior; that part of Washington must first bo pcopltd, but three years fiom to-day will eco all tho best available lands there claimed. When it comes to choice betw eon second and third class locations there includ ing timber lands in the Blue Mountains or settling upon tho most available lands of tho Coast country and on Puget Sound, jo-i will sco the value? of your region appreciated. New York, Pennsylvania, all New England, Ohio and Indiana, show that heavy tynber h s been clcarc 1 , away to make farms and homes. It is no greater work to clear off this land than it was to clear that, and the induce ment is much greater ; tho soil is better, tin- demand for products w ill be certain You can safely wait, expecting to sco the popula tion steadily incroise as it has tho put year, and production ext.-nd, conscious that very shortly, as the best of the national domain goes out of the market, by settlement, your lands will assume primo importance and be cleared and farmed. Mr Smithers, of Rcntoo, settled in 1858 The Indians had destroyed bis property in preceding war j eirs, and he was poo. He cleared away, cut and burned off tho timber, sowed timothy seed, and made his way to in dependence. AH his cleared mead iw laid pays a fair interest on $S0 an acre. I ven ture to say that a thousand bottom ciaims re main vacant in the valleys and deltas along your shores, where any mnn with equal pluck and goo 1 musclo can do aa welf. My friend Tibl etts went back into tho Squak Valley and located there, after renting land on Black River for years. He has cleared and made him a farm out of the roughest of hot tun growths, and he tells me the world has been very good to him since he oime ovr on the SjU'id. They all say, however, that while they and others aro piosprring and satisfied, many who come look about them and go away very much dissatisfied. Mr. Tibbetts told me of a ne r neighbor of his, who proves, also, to hive bcn an old friend of my own, yeais ago in Oregon Mar tin Monahon who settled, five years ago, on the uplands near Squak Valley, and has be time very independint theie. Monahon's ca-'io illustrates the value of uplands. All -long on your ridges, between the stroims, are found ponds and lakes. Mr. Mdnahon's elaim includes one of these, which ho drained at a cost of $50 only, and then had fifty acres of as good soil as could be found for a m ndow. I saw where such a lakn was drained just this side of Newcastle. It proved altogether to) rich soil for any thing but grass, so he had to clear away a place in the big timber to make his garden and orchard. That drained lake only -required grass Beod sown on it without plowing, to become a timothy meadow producing three tors or over to the acre. Monahon had a large family to support, and his reliance in part was a drove of oows. As he was only a few miles from Newcastle, he found there a good rmrket. His stock ran out in the woods and, with some little care, increased and did well. Cattle will do well, with a littlo care, all through these wcods, because there aro little bottoms and springs. Thr e years ago, when snow fell three or moro feet deep, Not ation's cattle wandered away from home, and it was supposed they could not mitvive; but when the snow went off they all en mo home and he sol 1 some of them for beef that were in as good order us his neighbor's ttall.fo 1 steers. Mr. Monahon's case on the upUml, ard Mr. Tibbetts' case in tho Squsk Valley, I have taken the liberty to quote without per mission, as illustrating how aiiman with en ergy and strength cau locate and do well on the Sound. As to slcanng laud, it w ill Bound like a wil 1 story to some readers to hear that women and children could removo t'icso immense for tst, but it isro3siblc. If strong enough to drive a two inch auger, they can do it. Every woodsman knows how he can lore two boles to meet cac'i other, one from below and the other above, anil putting fire in the lower hole, can create a blaze that will eat the heitt of the monster fir tree out and somttiincs de vour the stumps. When the tree falls, tho body can bs burned up in seions tho umo way, Patience aud continuance will soon cleir a way for the farmer to grow crops. The time is not distant (even if it takes generations) when land in this region will bear a high price. Nearness to market ami temperature of climate will make this a faroi ite region. On these uplands can lie grown all the cereal to perfection. Hops will thrive there, for they do well on the red hills of the Willnmette. Monahon sent the liureau of Immigration, at Portland, specimens of pita toes, grown on his upland, that cinnot 1J ox celled. The best fruits, excepting piaiho aid grapes, can bo grown all along the Hound. Tour s il and climate enables you to grow as fine prune as the world ever saw. Oichardi --r M V" NO. 43. everywhere look well, yet jou import app'es from California I The fruit interest should bo made much of, as I will, with your permis sion, try to show in another communication. Though not living in Washington, and without a dollar's inteiest in your Sound countiy, I firmly be'ievo that, in timo, your resourcts will demand a well-perfected agri culture, and fiat agriculture will bo moro im portant hero than elowhere in the North Pa- ' cine. Your inducements for- immigration are if the best. The vory resources tha-. will in sure your future- coal, iron and forests mski agriculture nnrj difficult than else where, but they will iusure U all the greater rewards. To sum up bri lly, a few yean fro-n now a good farm on Pugut Sound will be as valuable, and piobably more valuable, than elsuw here in Oregon or east of the Cascades. , The extent of good countiy hero is not half known, and certainly (by the outside world) is not h ilf appreciated. Bright Prospect Ahead. No city in the country has advanced with such solid rapidity in its growth and in all branches of enterprise business and other wisein the past four years as Lowistcn. We have seen our suburbs, whioh are tho lurgs of a city, metamorphosed in that timo from a dreary sand loi waste to a delightful and largely p'inulited precinct, and incorpor ated into the limits of tha city proper. So it : w ith tho business interests of tho older pir-j tion of ihe lowoj tho growth of business has kept pace with the development of the coun try; our merchants have entirely outgrown the limits of the pist, and tho metropolitan vigor of the present is characterised by a dis- playot the successful rcsr.'ts of eicrgyand enterprise which places Lowiston on a par" with Walla Walls, or any other place East of the Mountains.
