FRIDAY SECOND DAY.
Tho progress of now ideas In Wost

fact that .Hprlngfiold will today In
augcrato a tbrco days' Jublloo design
ed to comiuemoriitQ tho advent of Ir
rigation hi tho upper valloy. Ton
yours ago such u celebration would
lmvi! boon laughed out of oxlstenco,
for It was tho custom then to think
that umbrellas nro far moro usoful in'
Oregon than Irrigation ditches. No
doubt they arS in tho winter soason,
but It Is in Juno, July and August that
lho crops coino to maturity and in
tli fine months Western Oregon's rain
fall Is very light. Up to 12 or"14 years
jjko wheat was tho principal crop of
tho Wlllamotto valley, and the first
moii who undertook to grow clbvor hero
woro laughed at pretty generally and
it was snld that clovor was utterly tin
ndaptod to Wcsturn Oregon soil and
climate. Yot tho Wlllametto valloy
baa becomo slnco that ttmo an Im
portant clover producing section and
clovor is now u standard and fully cs
lallnhcd crop. Tho jsocd yield' horo
averages bottor In favor,iblo seasons
than the Mississippi valloy, Exporl
mice with corn has been similar to
that with clover. It has boon only
n few yenrs slnco It waa hold that corn
would not grow horo, yot this year
tho area planted to corn in Lauo
-rouuty will exceed 8000 ucrcs, which
is approximately a third as largo an
tho combined ncrcago of fall and
spring wheat In n soason when
,whoat notongo hus bocn abnormally
