A few miles from Corvallis,
Mr. W. H. Hamlin cut this year
200 tons of alfalfa hay. It yield
ded about 2 and one-half tons to
the acre in two cuttings. Before
seeding to alfalfa the land had
been "cropped out." In four
teen years fourteen grain crops
had. been taken from the land,
and Mr. Hamlin explains that
on richer land the yield is the
much heavier. He further ex
plains that the oldest stand yields
the best, showing that it
takes several years on certain
classes of soil for the alfalfa to
make a good growth.
It looks as though an alfalfa
campaign would be worth mil
lions to this state.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
In pursuance of a time honored
custom the president of the
United States has set apart
Ihursday, the Zbth day of Novenv
ber, A. D., 1908, as a day of
National lhanksgiving.
Therefore, I. George E. Chan
berlain, as governor of the state
of Oregon, do proclaim said day
as a holiday and recommend a
general observance as one of
thanksgiving.
The people of this common
wealth have much to be thankful
for. We are prosperous and
happy, and the ' ills which have
in the past afflicted some of our
sister states have passed us by.
A beneficient Providence has
given ub a fertile soil and a de
lightful and healthful climate.
Our very mountains, besides fur
nishing a landscape unrivaled for
scenic beauty and grandeur, are
clad perennially with an abun
dance of splendid forest and bear
ii .i V- i
wunin ineir outturns a weaiui ui
mine and mineral. The semi-arid
regions are being made to blos
som as the rose and are furnish
ing homes to thousands of sturdy
men and women.
All these are the things that
make for a better and higher
civilization and promise ever
brighter hopes for a greater Ore
gon. Let us therefore suitably ob
serve the day set apart and re
pair to our usual places of wor
ship there to render thanks to
the All-wise Ruler of the universe
for the manifold blessings we
enjoy.
In testimony whereof I have
hereunto Bet my hand and caused
the great seal of the state of
Oregon to be hereunto affixed,
this the sixteenth day of Novem
ber, 1908.

Governor.

for and horses to look after, be

things to keep a man busy out
side the well digging business.
He reports Mr. Sloan enjoying
cold snowy weather at his old
home in Kansas. Quite a dif
ference from our nice warm
