Forty local singers of Albany are

Thl machine was tested In his Sac

years ago a genius revolutionized the
cultivating of hops by turning either
a band of sheep or gous in to clean
up the yards of weeds and cut the
stringers from the vines. Hut so fur
statistics show that the yards which
have adopted the sheep method fall
down about half to the yield of the
yards that stick to the good old-fashioned

Recently three prominent Albany

being hauled up before the authori

There are those who object to the
treating that is being done by the
newspapers of this country, ru,
Isn't it, nevertheless a fact, that thes
anti-boosters are either men Who re
gret selling their farms or who have
no land to sell. Those seeking! home:
should ask these knockers hereafter
which one of the classes they be
1 ng to and they will soon establish

' It is to be regretted that the good
roads meetings in various parts of, th
state are not btetre attended. A gooo
road past any farm enhances its val
ue more tban it costs. When our
farmers get next to their job they
will build more and better roads and
assess the cost in a greater degree
to the idle land speculator, who now
too often gets next to the ear of the
.county assessors.

. Corn Will Grow in Oregon
The fine stand of corn , in the vicin
ity of Independence is sufficient prooi
that corn will grow in Oregon. On
the road between this city and Mon
mouth there is a field of several
acres of corn that is earing just like
it was grown in a corn country.
Over on Missouri bottom. J. R. Coop
er has corn that stands six feet, with
m .r with 14 and 16 rows on
them and as many as three ears to
the stalk, now that it has been
fully demonstrated that corn can be
successfully raised here farmers
should devote more attention to its
culture, as there is always a ready
market for it at a good price.
