SOUTHERN OREGON MAIL,, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1892. m WW THE CtfTO ' ' Special .Correspondenoe. W ASHisrGTQ$r, p. P.j, May J , 192. ; Jo tfce matter of current events, po litical or congressional, there is noth ing worth mentioning ths week, ex cept presidential gossip, which is now t fever heat. As the date of the coa yentions draws near . (the interest in creases -' and plots - multiply. ' The cneming ana manoeuyering now go ing on does noi all appear on the sur face, and things which .two or three reeks ago seemed to be about settled, p.re to-day. more , doubtful than ever, ft is wonderful how quickly the entire political situation in this oountry may be changed,, Two weeks ago it was the universal opinion that President Har bison had an absolute certainty of re itomination, but the developments of iho past few days again envelope the putcome of the Minneapolis convention in doub. There is a 'strong combina tion of political forces quietly working to encompass the defeat of the presi dent, and he one thing that portends possible success is the general lack of rthusiasm for Mr. Harrison and the peeling ina. in spite tue prevailing .endorsement" of .his administration, be will prove a weak candidate. The jenanceii are sun istrifeiy m ivur 01 . . ..'11 , 1 his nomination, but if the .opposition succeeds i$ perfecting its organization as now planned, he will be defated, Your correspondent has obtained his information in confidence, but if at liberty to rive the names of all those republicans who are concerned in the anti-Harrison movement its strong character would be xsadily perceived. It may be set down as morally , certain that if Harrison is not nominated on the; first- ballot he wii ' be out of the ratio- If William. ' Mckinley should happen to be the nominee- of the con vention nobody need, be greatly stirs prised. . '. - : The democratic situation is quite similar in some respects, a perceptible change having occurred within the past few days. The Cleveland sentiment is not as jitrong as it was a week ago, and $he prevailing opinion among shrewd political observers is chat it will con tinue to recede from now on. It is still true that a majority of the Democratic rank and file are for some reason fav prable to the ex-president, but the dif ficuity of electing him, in 'view of the position of New York, is coming to - be more generally realized. '. Sentiment seems-So. be giving way somewhat, to hard sense. -In addition a very strong combination of Democratic politicians is being formed which will probably result in the nomination of a candidate not in any way identified with factional differences. The chances of two or f hree western candidates are looking up decidedly as matters stand to-day. and if Cleveland is not nominated on t,he first ballot the candidate will be either Senator Palmer, Governor Pat ison, of Pennsylvania,' or another western man whose candidacy has not attracted much attention up to this time. From signs that ape cropping put it is not much 01 a hazard to pre dict that Cleveland will be defeated. Ha is strongest, say his opponents, m i&ate that pan not give him an electo ral vota, and weakest in States which must be carried. Palmar or Pattison, or any of the others, they say, would stand a better chance tn JNew "fork. This argument will not be without effect when the delegates get together, especially as it. is known to 'be true. -Word has' quitely gone forward to Palmer's friends "in Illinois which is likely to inspire them with working seal. From the present outlook the pjd war horse is decidedly in it. .- - But the newest political development . fhis movement for a combination to nominate a Farmers' Alliance and Free Silver ; candidate. This : movement comes to the surface with its probable presidential ticket already elected, and if all the influences behind it are Jn earnest the ticket will cut some thing of a figure. A secret meeting of pie national Silver Committee has just Jjeen held h$re, andit had in attend ance men of ' no little influence in national affairs. It is learned that the nomination of a Btrong ticket repre senting the free coinage idea was con? sidereq and conditionally agreed upon. and that the combination with the Farmers' Alliance would be made by nominating Secretary Teller for Pres ident and Colons Polif, of the Alliance, for Viee President. The platform is Jo contain the single plank of free coin age, and it is claimed by those familiar with the movement that no less than eleven western and southern States could bp carried.- thus throwing the . election into the House and securing a fcee silver ytctqry. The movement is fuffioieatly formidable to have some terrors lor the old political parties, and if (t proves to be something more than a ''bluff" will help to make things Interesting in the coming campaign. ., The Smith family is concededly num erous in this country, but the Taylors knock them out of all kinds of shape in ' fhe present Congress. A few nights KB 5ddling Boh" Taylor, of Tennes see., who scraped himself into the governorship and", into congress, de livered a very unique and interesting Jecture in one of the churches " of this city on ine influence of the violin B14I while people were recalling the incident of the campaign of the two Taylor-brothers as opposition candj.- . dates for the governorship of Tpnn see, somebody was reminded of the fact that there are no. less than five !f ay lops in the present House of Bep- : resentjiUves. - Three of these are from Ltbio, qne from Tennessee, and one frqm Chicago. But from all account . there won't be so many in the next Congress, as 1 all three of the Ohio ". aylqrs are understood to decline : re-election, Mr. E. -B. Taylor after - service of twelve years, and the Chicago c 3 1 ........ .... 1 v Taylor is having a hard fight , for re- nomination. It is possible, therefore, that the Tennessee man may have to hold up the Taylor name all by him self. . Butome to think of the matter is it not strange that the Joneses and Smiths don't show up stronger in Congress? There has- been no Jones in the lower house since Frank Jones of New Hampshire retired, and as for the name of Smith, it has had no place in the Congressional Directory for a number of yesrs.. In that respect the Congressional Directory is peculiar. OREGON WEATHER SERVICE. Crou Weather Bulletin No. 5, for - Week Ending April 30, 1893. MONTH OF APRIL. Throughout Oregen the rains, during April, have been in excess of - the normal amount. The ' total amount has varied from over four inches iutho Willamette valley to two inches uud over iu Southern and Eastern Oregon. Snow has fallen on the mountaius and higher elevations at frequent inter vals. The rains have penetrated the soil, and it is now more thoroughly moistened than it has been for years. Water stands on the low lands of the Willamette valley. Temperature has been from two to four degrees below the normal for the month, this defi ciency is apparent in every section of the state from the retarded condition of vegetation. The season is fully four weeks late. Frosts oecured with unusual frequency and they did slight damage to .the fruit interests. A severe wind and rain storm, one of the most severe'on record, occured on the 24th. -; There has been a marked deficiency in sunshine and ap. excess in the number of cloudy and rainy days. The weather has delayed spring seeding and farming operations in gen eral. It has been unfavorable to shear ing and lambing, The latter .has been very successfull however, fully eighty-five per cent of the lambs being saved. - The wool clip - is unusually good, the staple being Ion and remark ably clean. The ace rage of grain is as large as ever before and considerable is yet to be sown. That which is sown is in first-class condition, except In a few places on the low lands of the Willamette valley. The wheat has a good ' stand ' and has stouled well. Though the season is late, yet vegeta tion is healthy and offers bright pros pects.- ." ." ' ..' THE WEEK WESTERN OUEGON. Continued cloudy and rainy weather with cool temperature has prevailed. On the U4tn, a severe wind and ram storm was experienced, especially along the coast and in the Willamette valley. .The storm was almost severe as the great storm of January 9th, 1SS0. The total rainfall varied from two inches, at Portland, to fifty one-hundreths of an inch in Southern Oregon. - Snow fell on the mountains. Frosts were experienced on the 2oth, 26th, 27th, and 28th in various sections. Thunder storms and hail prevailed on the 25 and 23 in the valley. But little farm work was done dur ing the week. Seeding was practically at a standstill. inter wheat on low lands is turning yellow; on uplands it is growing nicely. Hops are a foot or more high. The wind storm on the 24th blew most of the fruit bloom off the trees. Prunes are reported in jured by frost at Dayton. Apples in jured at Williams. - The correspondent at Grants Pass says, "notwithstanding reports by some parties to the contary, our cold snap has undoubtedly wound up most of. the peach, almond ' and fruit crop for the year 1 892." Ashland correspondent says, "There is a prom ise of a fair crop of fruit. Orchards are being plowed and spraying has commenced." S- EASTERX OREGON. Bains; snow in the mountains, cloudy weather have prevailed during the week with frosts of frequentoocurance. The tempature has risin somewhat, but is yet below the average, The wind storm of the 24th was exper ienced more or less. The rainfall for the week varied from 30 to 90 one hundredths of an inch. The spring seeding has progressed considerably, yet in localities it has been delayed. Winter wheat is from 20 to 30 inches high and spring wheat is in many localities from 6 to 15 inches high, The most excellent orop pros pects prevail, and generally the acre age of grain is larger than ever before. Sheep shearing and lambing continue. From 75 to 95 per oent of lambs are being saved. Warmth and sunshine are now needed throughout Oregon to develop and bring forth vegetation. At this time of the year the prospects were never better for a successful grain crop. - . . v Anxiety Among: Democratic ConereumeB . some 01 the southern silver men are expressing great anxiety about the Dem ocratic party in the south since the sil ver bill has been defeated. They declare their belief that it will be impossible to hold the southern Alliance men out of the third party. One of the old North Carolina members declares that he ex pects to. see North Carolina go Republic an this falL His expectation is that the Democrats will lose so many -votes to the third party that the Republicans will have a plurality in the state. Others say that they believe that the solid south is a thing of the past, and that the third party will carry Georgia and perhaps Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina. In this gloomy mood they express a fear that the 'Alliance will send so many third party men to the next house from the south that they will hold the balance of power and be in a position to dictate terms to the old parties. Some of this talk is in earnest, while some no doubt is for the purpose of frightening southern members who are not quite "sound" op silver, Wash ington Star. . . :! . TRANSPLANTING CABBAGE . PLANT8, What rrofewtor - Bailey, of the. Cornell University Station, Reports. . . For three consecutive seasons we have endeavored to determine what founda tion there may be for the common no tion that deep set cabbage plants give better heads and a larger proportion of heads than those sot at the normal or natural depth. It is a very general prac tice among gardeners to set the plants to the depth of the first leaf when trans planting to the field. The results of three years' tests show that no advan tage is to be gained by such a practice. I11 1SS9 the experiment was tried upon twelve varieties, about twenty plants of each being set up to the first leaf, and as many more set to tie some depth at which they stood iu the seed bed. Strangely enough, it appears that one half the varieties gave better results from shallow setting and tho other half bettor from deep setting. There were. however, rather more heavy heads from the deep setting.' Combining all the re sults, the gaiu in weight from deep set ting was as 13.00 is to 13.40, a difference so small as to lead to the conclusion that tho particular method of planting prob ably had nothing to do with the yields. In 1880 tho test was repeated, the early Wakefield cabbage being used for the' purpose. Tho plants were grown upon a heavy and rather poor clay loam. Here the shallow planting gave decid edly the better results, both in the per centage of plauts producing good heads and in the average weight of heads. In 1S91 the test was again repeated. this time with Early Wakefield and Pre mium Drumhead. , The plants were grown on a rich and well prepared loose clay loom, and all - the conditions throughout the season were such as to insure a fair and uniform test. The average result was in favor of the shal low setting so far as the weight of heads is concerned, but in favor of deep set ting in tho percentage of plants produc ing good or mature heads, but the differ ences .were slight and no greater than might be expected from two or more lots of plants treated in the same man ner. The two varieties, however, gave different results. The Early Wakefield gave better results from deep setting and the Drumhead from shallow setting. Upon tho whole the result of the entire investigation leads to the conclusion that the depth at which strong and stocky cabbage plants are set does not influence the extent or weight of the crop. Potato Scab and Potato RoU Experiments made last season at the Rhode Island station, as reported by The ! Horticulturist, demonstrated that the product from potatoes planted upon re cently plowed sward land without fertil izer is not necessarily exempt from the potato scab. The disease may exist in a mild form and not seriously injure the crop. Fresh or partly decomposed sea weed scattered in the furrows at the time of planting did not increase the dis ease; scattering it over the seed potatoes after they were dropped in the furrow slightly checked its development. On the contrary, stablo manure scattered over the seed potatoes after they were dropped tended to a large increase of scab. Covering horse manure lightly with earth when used in the furrows at the time of planting produced a less per cent, of scabby potatoes than when scat tered over them. Spraying the vines with Bordeaux mixture during their growth slightly checked the development of scab, and spraying the seed potatoes and the soil above them, after they were dropped in the furrows, had much the same effect in fields- not previously con taminated with the disease. Applica tions of Bordeaux mixture made July SO. and repeated July 29 and Aug. 8, checked the spreading of potato 'blight" and "rot to such an extent that all the va rieties treated formed good sized and well matured tubers practically free from the disease. As compared with un treated plots, the yield of merchantable tubers of four varieties gave an average increase in the yield of merchantable po tatoes due to the application of Bordeaux mixture of 53.26 bushels per acre. Experiments In Boiling. At the Ohio station, where a careful soiling experiment has been conducted by Director Wilson, these conclusions have been arrived at: That the average cow will eat about seventy-fivo pounds of green feed a day, kept in the station with grain ration added. That cows fed on oats and peas, clover and corn, fed green in the stable in mid summer will give more milk than when feeding on a good blue grass pasture. That a cow fed on green feed in a stable darkened and ventilated will gain in weight more than she will in a well shaded pasture. That tho cow responds as promptly to a well balanced ration of gram while eating green feed as she does on dry feed. An acre of peas cut green weighed 13.8 tons. An acre of peas and oats cut green weighed 24 tons. . An acre of corn cut green weighed B3,B tons. The second cut of clover in a drought was 3.1 tons. It is not necessary to cut green feed of tener than twice a week if it is spread to avoid heating. Borg-hume for Dry Season. ft has been found that some of the nonsaccharine sorghums are among the best of drought resisting grasses. These sorghums will compare favorably with corn in tho amount and quality of the seed they will produce, German millet gives a good yield of hay in Kansas, where it has been tested, and following. it closely are the Hungarian, broom corn and wonder millet. . ' Tne (scotch or English practice c' stacking hay and then subjecting it to pressure by weights or by windlasses, drawing together chains or ropes attach ed to cross timbers under and over plank floorings-, seems to be successful there, but is not adapted to this country with its variable- climate find extremes of temperature. Experiments made in New York state and Massachusetts, accord ing to The Country Gentleman, showed much loss in spoiled ensilage in one case nearly two-thirds of the stack; and this wastage, even if much less, will dpubtlesB offset the cost of a good, silo. -REAP SOUTHERN OREGON -AS IT The Only Official PUBLISHED IX SOUTHERN SUBSCRIPTION, -:-11.50 : PER -:- YEAR, INVARIABLY -: The Southern AND NORTHWEST v REFORM -:- JOURNAL, ONE YEAR FOR 2, OR MORE.
