VOL. XIV. orrcgpontlent.?. Assert Yourself. Portland, Or., Dec. 11, 18S2. Editor Willamette Farmer : I have just read your article in last week's issue heided "The Farmer's True Place.'' Your op:n declaration that "the farmer must n?ert. himself ami claim his share of the, good fortune if he expects to secure it,' is as true as the gospel. You ought to set It up in big capitals aud stereotype it, and let it stand in every issue as a hereon light. Look around us, and m almost every community we see living example of men who have asserted themselves and risen frsm very small begin nings in their vaiious avocations to distinc tion, who stand to day as living witnesses of the truth of this proposition. The piges of our country's history are full of bright illus trations, nun w ho were reared in poverty on ihe farm or in the workshop, but from child hood up, with strong muscle and indomitable will pwer, overcame all difficulties as they arose, from hour to hour and day by day sur mounted obstacles, till like Lincoln and Gar field, they reaihed tin topmast pinnacle of fame. We hoar farmers growling and com plaining ; complaining for what? Why, pota toes are only 50 cents; oats, 60c; wheat, $1 60; butter, 40c; cheese, 16c; beef, 7c; pork, 7 to 7Jc; veal, 7c; mutton, 6c; fruit, 50c; chickens, $4 to So per do?; ducks, 97 to $8; geese. $10; turkey 15o per pound; eggs, 60c per dozen, and hops $1 per pound, and I suppose, jf by some magic these prices could be suddenly doubled, thero would be still some to whine. They have got to turn over a new leaf and assert themselves, or they will be left out in the cold, and the n ise of their grumbling will be drjwned by the roar of the incoming train as it comes op, the down grade from over the mountains. Cipital has asserted it self and gsined the ascendency. Business men are asserting themselves and reaping the ad vantages of so doing, and all classes, trades and professions who do not represent much capital power li ve comb nod and co-operated, arid with their uni'ed strength have 'asserted themselves for their individual benefit and that of tin class they represent. This is no new principle; no new fangled notion. The founder) ot our government understood it when they emblazoned on our nati mal cs cutcehon tin motto : "United we stand, di vided wa fall." Farn-rs have combined to some extent, and are trying to co-operate. The grange was organized for this express purpose, and in some States has made good headway, and mrit, through its guidance and "direction, -farmers- are asserting themselves Bat how is it in Oregon? Soms have joined the grange and are making some alvance- ment: a few hive backslidden, and a few more are asserting themselves with the en ergy of a sick kitten leaning up to a hot brick. They came into the grange hoping to he benefited. They are waiting for the good time coming; they hops the hot brick will do them good; they bring no contributions to thu feast: thev neither sine, whistle or tell a story; they don't do a single thing for the general advancement; they are aboard the -ship and hope for a safe voyage; they hope .ho will not spnng a leak for fear they will nave to man me pumps. Mr. Editor, time and spaeeswill not permit me to notice the many salient points in your article except your closing sentence and ques tion : "Where is the power that shall arise to place the farmer on the height where he ought to stand?" I'll tell ou where; the power lies in each and every individual farnur and granger; they have got to arise, shake off their lethargy, put their own shoulder to tho wheeland work out their own salvation, or do ' worse. Each of every man, woman and youth in the grange ha got something to do; all ""must combine and co-operate together for their own individual benefit and for the com mon good. There is work for everyone to do. We observe a growing disposition among grangers, among farmers to do something, and many are anxious, enquiring, "What shall I ' do: what can I dot" They seem willing, but are groping in the dark. It remains, then, for those of as who see more clearly the necessities of the hour to " point out tho way; to illustrate by prept and ' example the faith' that is In us, Our lamp will lose none of its brilliancy for lighting our ' neighbor. The people want more light, more 1 intelligence upon the great questions affecting I J their maUrial interests, their power tonight their grievances if properly directed, the pos Utilities that lie within their rrach "Tho newspaper press is the nieeliuaith.roJgb which much of this ii. to be accomplished. Every farmer should take the leading farmers' paper in the State where be Uvea, and M rrany. ' .more as he likes; not only take them tut read, think and digest the content discuss with his neighbors the leading topics that af fect his interest, so that they may act intelli gently when they come to the ballot box. We repeat it : Every farmer should take the Faumer, because it is working for his inter est: becauso it gives him in value more than he pays for it. If he raises anything to sell, the market reports are worth more to htm than the subscription price, because in every issue he gams information that is of value to him in his vocation; because, next to brcul and meat and clothing, it is a necessity, a neccs-ity that ho caintt aff rd to do without. I know, Mr. E lit ir, it is an old story with you to urge these facts, and no doubt you sometimes get tird nnd disgusted at the tar diness of f Winers im appreciating your efforts. But we must persevere; ring the changes a?ain; our motto is onward and upward. Be fore I close permit me to recommend to every farmer on this Northwest coast to subscribe for the American Orange Bu'lrtin, a live pa per devoted entirely to the iuterests of farm ers and grangers, every number brimful of matter and facts of interest to every farmer to know, the great questions affecting the farm ers' interests discussed, the remedies pointed out, co operation explained, its practical workings and successes in different places no ticed; in short, when oico introduced to a farmer's house he will be loth ti part with it. I am making np a club for it, and I have already enough nsmes to secure it at club rates $1 50 a year which includes with it the Little Granger, a monthly for the young folks, and the seed distribution, all for SI 50 a year. &ena ma your names ana i . u. aa dress. .and I will guarantee yon will never re gret it. J. B. KvArp. California, Oregon and Washington. BY A MISCOVSIK VARMEIt. Citeney, Dec. 1, 18S2. The writer and his family left Wisconsin August for the Pacifio Coast; arrived at Oak land, Cal., well and safe, without accident, only short of ona large and valuable basket, full of the most valuable things we had. This was stolen from us from the train the first night. The basket and c intents, fifty dol lars, could not be replaced. From Omaha to Cheyenne the emigrant coaches were coup'cd behind two car loads of hogs. The train was very Ionian I the hogs could be place 1 20 rods nearer the engine, but I suppose the Union and Central Pacific Railroad Co. think they can do as they please with the poor emigrant. The writer had five large, new trutiks, which he (.aid $11 each for, hut they were badly used up wh'n arrived at San Francisco. Their hopi is getting short ; the great Northern Pacific railroad will soon be completed, I have ascertained that emi grants will be better provided and better cared, for the'n. The writer has learned that Mr. Villard is going to make the great North ern Pacifio one of the finest and most com fortable roads to travel on, and the company will be well paid and rewirded for it. The California Bureau of Emigration is ad vertisingand sending pamphlets and ppers,in ducing emigrants to emigrate to government lands in California, The writer stopped at Oakland and went to the different offices and investigated some into land matters. Now, the lands in Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt and other counties on the coast north of San Francisco that is, the government lands are ropky, and barren, and mountainous, and some of it very heavy timbered with red wood. Tbe writer saw a party at Oakland that went all through this country, and did net see a good one hundred acre tract to make a farm on. 8outh of San Francisco they have a large tract of land in San Louis Obispo county. This Un 1 is 40 miles from the coast. I also saw parties that had been there and taken land. There is no water on the land, no springs, no brooks, nor rivers, and w hen a msn commences to dig a well, he does not know how deep he has to go 'to find water, 50 or 600 fett. Disgusted with this part, I turned to the foot hills which is advertised so much. There I find that there is some good land, that would make many homes to the emigrant; bat there again I found a draw hick. These foot hill lands are held by stockmen, and moat of it if fenced by tbem. The man that takes a homestead here has to fight for it, and many a man has lost his lite by stock men when trying to keep and protect his cat tle. I was disgusted with the country, and aware that thousands are led astray anil blindfolded by these pamphlets and circulars. The. writer looked for some other country, lie had heard and read mucV about Oregon and Washington Territory, and thought be wild .have glance at those, countries Left his family ati Oakland, Cat.; aud started for Portland, on brd'-theelegnt steamer1 Co Luml:. (0. R- lJiTCo,),jndi arrived (ife, after good, smooth voyage. Was quite J sick and 'thought it very tongh, but as tbe PORTLAND, OREGON, writer has crossed the Atlantic five times, tin thought it was good and smooth. Was sur prised to find Portland a large and prosperous city, new buildings going up everywhere and full of go ahead business. It has some build ings that compare with any Eastern city. This is going to be a very important place in the future. I took a trip up tho great Willamette Val ley. This is a very fine valley, and much has besn said and wrote ahout it, I think this is the cardan of Oregon. Mr n of means will do well to look up this valley before buy ing elsewhere ; but for men of small means it is not so inviting ss Eastern Oregon and Washington. Improve I farms can be bought from ."0 to S75 in the valley, and unimproved frnm S3 to S15. The O. & C. R. R. has some foot hill land for sale from S2 50 to $10 an acre. This unimproved land needs much hard work to clear the brush and heavy timber.but it will pay well near Portland, one of the best markets in the Northw est. EAST OF THE MOUNTAIN'S. After being in the va'lcy for three weeks, tho writer went to Cheney, on tbe N. P. R. It. This wss the second trip of the trains up tho Columbia, and made, only one change, at Wallula, between Portland and Cheney. As it was night, wo cannot say much about tho road up the Columbia. From Wallula to Spragne the country is a high, rolling prairie, covered with bunch gras, with some sage brush in spots. The soil is a light color. After we come to Spraguc, tho land chances, fie soil becomes darker and heavier and more watered, with timber as we are going towards Cheney. At this place we stopped over night and noxt day. This is quite a town; only two years old. Here 1 found Judge Lewis at his office, with many products of the soil and dif ferent soils of different parts of the country; were much surprised at the good cereals. Mr. Lewis is selling lands for the Northern Fa c'fic railroad. Here we found Mr. L W. Range, a gentleman well posted in the coun try. Of him we had vpry much information about different parts. We found Mr. Range ready to give all infoimation about the land. Mr. Range is one of tho best posted mn mid has good ju Ignicnt. Next day wo started out with one of the Bow en Bros, for the Big Bend country. Wo went through a stiip of conntry which they call "scab'" land. Tim ber, mostly pine, which is very handy for tho settlers. About eight mi'es off we come to tho noted Medical lake, with timber sur rounding. This will be one of the greatest resorts in the Northwest, as its waters make wonderful cures, especially of rheumatism After we leave the timber, we come to fine prairie country till we reach Crab creek. On this we find some good timber again, and saw. mills busy getting out lumber for settlers. Around here there is some of the finest land in the Northwest. They raise some of the best vegetables and cereals. Mr. Bo wen raised 24 bushels of wheat per acre, on soil sowed on the 1st of June, and had not a drop of rain till it was in the bag; which we would think much of in Wisconsin, Iowa, Minne sota and Illinois. The country is rolling, but most of the prairie can be plowed and fur rowed to advantage. It is not so handsome to the eye as some prairies of the States, hut it is far more productive. This is one of the best countries the writer has seen ; plenty of timber without going far, and good water without going deep. This will be a region for emigrants to come to for some time. The Northern Pacific Railrcad Con pany has some very tine lands in the Big Bend and offer them cheap to actual settlers. The time is not far off when the N. P. R. R. will have a road across the country to Seattle or Tacnma, on the Sound. As far off as 75 miles from Cheney, the land is good, and good crops have been raised. Over one hundred bushels of oats have been raised per acre near Bren's this year. This has been tbe dryest year on record. Towns are springing up in the interior, as well as along the railroad. At Spokan Falls is the best water power this side of Minneap olis. Now, as it is getting along in the win ter, we will go no further, but w ill come back. We will take tbe stage through Stephens, Pine City and Steptoe to Colfax. In the next we will write about the country south of the N. P. R. R. Fkeu L. Jones, Late of Columbus, Wis. Tbe Codlln Moth. Nevvbdro, Dec. 10, 1882. Editor Willamette Farmer : I see by your last issue that vou give timely warning against the codliu moth, or apple worm. It is well that you call the attention of Oregon fruit growers to this, the grealeit pest of the apple. Having had considerable experience with this moth during the past 10 years, in " the Statu," I give you my experi ence and observations. I have seen whole orchards ravaged by this FRIDAY, DECEMBER insitt so that a bushel of sound fruit could not he found in a hundied. The moth remains in the pupa or chrysalis state during the winter, and comes forth in the spring and deposits its eggs in the blos som end of the apple when they are about the si.-.o of a hazlcnut, or larger. The worm hatches out in three or four days, and makes its way to tho coro of the apple, where it re mains until full grown, about four week. Then it leaves the apple and hunts a suitable place to spin its rocoon, usually under tho loose bark or crevice in tbe tree; sometimes Under a chip or stick. Here it remains for wo weeks, when it comes forth ns a moth, ready to lay a second lot of csps. These go through the same changes as the tint, and mature in tho tame length of time, spin their cocoons and remain in this condition over winter, and nro resdy to begin their destruc tive work as soon as the apples aro of suitable size By thus making two broods per year and laying so many eggs at a time, they in crease very rapidly. A great many remedie have been tried to destroy this insect, none of which has been so successful as to trap all of tbe insects. A wisp ol hay placed in the crotch of the tree, removed and burned every ten clays; a cloth or paper bandage placed around the body of the tree, examined evr ry ten days aud the worms destroyed. Letting hogs have the run of the orchard and eat the fallen apples will destroy many of the worms, hut not all of them. Many persons suppose that if the fallen fruit is destroyed as fast as it falls the worms are destroyed. Let us see In 187.1 Prof. Beal, of the Michigan Agricul tural College, examined 300 wormy apples, picking them off the tree. Of these not quite half of them contained worms. How many more w ould havo crawled out before the apples fell is not known. Certain it is that the hOL's would not get half of them. The best rem. edy is to take thick carpet paper ami cut it in strips about three inches wide and long enough to reach around tho body of the tree, letting the ends lap a little ; secure the end by driving a tack through into the tree. Ex amino these hands every ten days throughout the season and destioy all the insects found. In order that these bands should be success ful, tho anple trees should be cleared of moss ami lor so bark, so there will bono suitable places for th worms to spin their cocoons; thin they will hunt shelter under the bands The ground about the trees should be cleanly cultivated. It will he a bard matter to get all farmers interested enough to take this much pains with their apple trees, and unless all woik togt ther we canurt expect to rid our orchards of this pot, as one careless farmer will raise enough inse 'ts to stock a whole neighborhood. We cannot expect a legislature to enact a law so strong that all farmers will destroy this great past. Nothing, in my opinion, short of a total destruction of the apple crop for one or two years before it gets any size will rid the country of the codliu moth. MlTCHKIL. In reply to a question regarding when the State Horticultural will meet again, we will say : The society baa not had a meeting for some time, but we consider that all the inter ests of the State demand thai the State Hor ticultural should hold regular meetings, and in a stated place, for the fruit interests of Oregon and Washington is one of vast and gr iw ing importance. Let the society be re vived and kept alive by earnest workers in the cause. Knn ok Seattle I'ott-Intelliijtncer: For a time they had it warm and lively in buying oats on the Swinomish fiats. The price began at $25, and quickly went up to $20, $27, $28, $2!) and $.10 per ton. At the latter figure it stayed only a single day, but all who lould do so availid themselves of the opportunity to get that price, w hich is tho highest paid for years, and within $2 50 per ton of the priie paid in San Franiisco, This $2 50 was all tbe buyers had to cover every expense of marketing, includ ing transportation to the city, insurance, wharfage and leakage and loss of every kind. Some buyers represented tho Utsalsdy ele ment, who favored shipping by sail vescl from that place, and other buyers represented the 0. R. & N. Co., who were for shipping rom this city by steam. One load has gone below on the bark Henry Buck, while several shipments have been made from here by steamer. This competition made itself very pleasant to the farmers, who thereby were en riched ti the extent of many thousand dollars at the expense of the buyers and transporta tion companies. , "Too late tej whet thu sword when the trumpet sounds to draw it" But never too Ute to whet V our a.K.-tite by tsking Kidney Wort, restoring liealin and making jourself a well, ktioi g, hearty man, It t unequalled as a remedy fur all livir, Uiwcl ami kiiltey nisiaiits, All druggists keep and reiomiiieiid It. 1882. WHERE ARE OUR WASTE LANDS? (Icn. Francis O. Walker, lately the Census Commissioner, has written a statement of tho extent of good, arable country yet vacant,nnd subject to homestead and pre-emption ontiy ; and n'so has estimated that with foreign emi gration sustained, and the natural growth of population, we cannot exp ct that any con siderable portion of th!s vast domain will re main unoccupied after Januery 1, 1880, three years from now. This estimate refers to tho good, arable area only, for there are hundreds of millions of acres of inferior lands that will be occupied in time, and timber lands that will claim attention next, after tho arable, open country is occupied. We accept it jib true of the Pacific North west that withi'i three years the cream of our agricultural lands will be claimed ly sctual settlers. That refers to the wheat lands in the Columbia basin and south of the Colum bia river, cast of tho Cacaies. Three years w ill seo the Willamette Valley more dencly settled. Very many already havo purchased farms here, and the country is be ing more divided up. There will bo a great influx into Rogue river and Umpqua, condi tioned on the railroad work now going on. The best valleys will be taken up along the coast, nnd inColumbia aud Tillamook and Clt sop countie, Oregon. North of the Columbia are the ChehaliB and Cowlitz valleys, the Nefqually, besides others. That region be twoen the Columbia river and Pugs t Sound offets great inducements. Thero is also con stant influx going on towards Whatcom countv, which is next to the British line, and of immense value as a farming country. But, for three years to come,, tho flood of im migration will come in and occupy Eastern Oregon anil Washington, and the Palouso country. Tho Spokan country, the Big Bend of tho Columbia, nil the good lands north of Snake river, much of Yakima and Klickitat, in Washington Territory, and all tho liest of Wasco ami Umatilla, in Oregon, will, in three years' time, lie practically out of the market. After three ycarB we shall bo brought squarely to tace tho capaiity of other parts of Oregon and Washington to support a farming population, and tho question will be certainly decided that we havo tti 1 vast areas f valu able land to be sctWcd. After tho op'n prai r cs are out of reach, imuiiginnts will bo glad enough to possess much now cons dcred men grazing land. It will be blinwn that sige brush soil is among the best, that so called desert anas aro to bo subdued ; that much of the land in th Blue mniin'aiiis, nnd in the Cas cades, is worth settling upon. Yakima and Stevens counties, and much of Northern Idaho and Montana, that are now compara tively unknown, can lie made valuable as farming land. Son them and Middle Oregon has capabilities that will become apparent in about three years. But, after the open areas of the east counties are all occupied, and after tho com pletion of the Northern Pacific road, they will be reached first, and will virtually lie come the first object of attention the at tention of people will lie drawn to theso west valleys of the coast line, and the fact will commence to bu apparent that wo have still room for hundreds of thousands to come and occupy. The great region of the North Atlantic, and westward, including Pennsyl vania, Ohio, New York, Michigan and In diana, in great part were composed of forest and wilderness as difficult to subdue as the average timbered regions of this part of Ore gon and Washington, and did not possess the same valuable soil or ability to recompense the pioneer that our soil has, nor the solu brity of climate we enjoy. It is only reason able then to believe that as soon as the open p'aina ere gone, when tho tide of emigration, added to the natural growth of population, has occupied the available regions that now invite settlement, that home-seekers will have to take to the woods, and tbe clearing of forests will commence, As to the extent of good fanning land west of the Cascades, we con'iss that we are sur prised to learu the fact on that subject. For instance, when lately journeying from Tacoina to Portland, wo had the pleasure to meet Itev, J. F. DeVorfl, Presiding Elder of the l'uget Sound district, who has intunatn ac quaintunre with all of Western Wsslungtoi , because he has traveled over It a a circuit preacher of the M. K. Church much of the time, visiting every nnok of those wilds where a Methodist ihunh tonld bo planti d or a meeting held. From him we gathered valuable informati'li as to tho whole region. He asserts that from the Can-ado mount tins to the ocean, and from tho Columbia river to the Sound waters, a tcrrft rv wi hundred miles square, almost, there is only a small proportion of waste land. That is to iay This territory, thoiio'b often heavy wooded, is 15, such as (icrniaus and So.indiiiavianH can and will releem and make av liWhle It lies fairly well, as n ruli, ami the soil is very fer tile and productive. Tli vii 1-j s constitute a largo part of tins region Tho Cowlitz and its tnbu lanes on the soi,th, tho varioim streams that cuter Shoalnater biy, the Cue hnlis and others that pour into Clray's harbor, the Ncttqually, that gut to the Sound, all these afford fine valltyn. The Chehnlis coun try is veiy extensive) and immensely pi )duo tivc. A great part of this was once a sound, as Pugot Sound is, and contains (J to 70 townsht) s, over a million and a half of nore of splendid valley land, overvrowu with hoavy fwcats, but, fot all thapnsiesiiiig nat ural advantages that will ilcin md attention ii a Blurt tune. Thu in-at valuable portion of Western Washington is the Skagit regiou and north to the British line, Low is county has im mense resources, Koginerrs say that t lwards the mountains, now vacant land, it is the best ol soil, has magnificent timber, with openings that oiler speci il advantages. King county, where Seat le is, comes next, and has the White river country, the Kquak, Suoqualmie md other rich valleys Clarke couiity.thongh heivily wooded, is a goosl country. Chehali c mnty comes next as possessing great advan tages. There is a siavelly stretch in Thurs ton c-uuty 10 miles long and 10 to 15 mile wide, that produces a good, short grats in winter and spring, bnt it ilioa down early. As summer pasture, it is rather dry picking, hut meat of animals raised thtro has very fine llavor. Ou tho east side ef tho Olympic mountains there is a atrip of country 10 or 15 miles wide that is good farming land ; on tho ocean side, from Oape Fl ittery to Gray "a hnrbor, 75 miles, is a belt of country 15 to JO miles widn between the otean anil the moun tains, that is partly prairie, welt watered, with beautiful lakes. air. Va Vore visitetl this ocean strip onco when government sent i steamer to look after the Indians who live along tho otoan. They went ashore frequent ly and inspected the vrholo shore linn This shows that somo timo a r&llrcnd will pass forth from flray'M harbor to lap that belt of o untry, font has no harbors and cannot use the sea as an outlet. The Oiilleuto country, liclow Cape Flattery, is mttlul to coino e tont, and already lias ft ivputation as a dairy region. Tins brief account ol Wosteni Washinjtuu crrresponds with tlin chara ter ot much of Western Orugon, notvbly, tho counties of Columbia and Clatsop, along tho Columbia, and all the coast countios. We thus sci that when tho Kistern plains havo tilled up, there will yet remain an empire of wilder country to bo subduid, but wolth subduing, and of great value when brought within the dnmaia ot agriculture. All this western reeion is near the ocean,- and so nearer to market. It may seem a rash prediction, ami an unwise thing to but, in half u rentury's time, when tho wilds of Western Oregen and Washington shall be sulidued, we believe thu region west of the Cascades will Im worth more money than double the area to tae eastward. Two thirds of the area of Oregon and Washingtoa is east of the Casosdee With an area equal to New York, l'cnnsyl yanla and New Kngland, and resources not one whit behind, why sho)d not time bring man equal aharu of wealth, population anst prosperity Thre fHutef bavu over ten mil lions of inhabitant. Thero will be immigra tion to this section or 'many a year, until all the industries thu world knows arn planted bore, ami until tho waste lands are cinvcrted into lioinu spots. Thorn who expect to me, the country tilled up and immigration ceaee in a few years, are srmply counting without the hosts that aro sure to come. A Medenl Muccrailuii.
