T11UH8DAV, March 111, 1887. March hits tnyixl with us in good hii,x, giving iv fow gonial toucheri of mtnshino to cheer uu, but keeping up itK tiiuo honored reputation as a blustei iug inontli, woll limned fur the- old heathen god of war. Tuko it all through and the- month has boon good 'or farnierfl to put in spring cropa and matiy Holds of oatH aro woll up and growing ilnoly. Winter wheat in union did us far as wo havo boon and heard, and no doubt all over Oregon and Waah ington wo may expect a heavy yield of cropa. Tho HcaHon 5h tompoml by tho fact that many houvy IkhIIoh of enow lio on tho lower range, and lato rahm hvo not letened hut increased tho supply. So long m this body of ouow is ho near tin wo may expect occasional ruins, if not frost, as it operate to comlonso and prtvipitato tho rainfall. ltoportri iu San Francisco nay that tho India wheat crops aro light and Caifor uia cannot expect an average yield when rains came barely in timo to prevent a total failure. It would not bo strango if they had only a fair half crop after to risky a neiuon of winter. Their crop will bo all ready to cat or cut iu two months. What elleots shortage in India or California may havo on tho worlds market cannot bo estimated until wo know tho yield of tho worlds harvosta all over, Should America como out be low tho average prices must rise ; or if tho European Statea havo light crops, but uo far as tho l'aciflo far west is con corned wo auticipato iu all this region & houvy yield because, tho rainfall and general moixturu mipply ban been uni versally nhiiiidiintnml tho dryest regions of Eastern Oregon aro now enjoying a healthy moiHturc.

In most caoa thoy do it to help the firo, though there was novor a more erroneous idea than that paper is good for that purpose. Its toxturo is too close, and iu largo quantities it is about as good a material to suppress a struggling liio as could bo dovised. It holds down tho curbonicatod gas, which is tho greatest of all lire extinguishers, and it furnishes very little heat in pro Dortion to its bulk. Paper, even of tho cheapest kinds, is far too valuoblo to bo liuriu'tl, as it uus s so many lar better umh. At for buruiug nowspapors, it is almost a crime, when, oven though out of date, each issue contains much that would givo pleasure and instruction to thousands. It is a good practice for tlioso taking many papers and maga zines to carefully lay asido those they do not care to preserve and donate thorn to hospitals, reformatories aud other in stitutions, whoro thoy will perhaps bo tho menus of doing jjreater good than they did to their original ownors.
