Tio mine report of ID 1 2 nhoued a production of 1770,011, (a material Inrreano or I'JII) but tho prellml nary etlmato for 1915 umdo by Cha. (1. Yato, of tlm I'nlted State Geo logical Hurtey, kIiowh that tho gold output nearly doubled In 1H12, amounting to f 1,211.1.322, or $C23,2$I more than In 11M2. Tho mine out put of Mllver In I'.il2 wa '.7.

The mine report of 1112 allowed a yield or S0,:il7 poiindN of lead, but for 10U tho tluinte I 0(1,713 pound, an Increase for the )ear of BC. 12(5 pound. Wlillo tlio hydraulic mine of Ore gon arc largo producer and (hero arotibotii 100 of them among the 100 producing placer mine, the lucroato of gold output for 1013 come main 1) from tho deep mine, (nt which thero aro 50 or ct producing In tho Mate. Tho mnt produrtUo deep mine In tho ulato Ih tho Columbia, at Hump tor, Maker county, Other largo deep mine nro thne of the Highland De velopment company at linker, tho Commercial Mining compnu) at Ityii Valley, Maker county, and tho Went Count Mine couumiiy at Champion' l.anu county, Tho average aluc of tho urea treated In Oregon have been Incrcaxlng materially In the Inst few year. A very largo percentage of tho gold produced from deep mine In Oregon come from Maker county, though JoHcphlno county lead In output of placer gold. Very little of tho Oregon oro Ih whipped to tho MlllelterH, mot of It being worked In local mill nt or near tho mines. There aro about 30 active quartz' mill In the nlnle, with a dally ca pacity of about 1100 ton. It will be a matter of gnat ouroiirngement to tho minor of Oregon to know that' ho largo an lncreano of gold lcld It apparent for tlm year 1013, even If I ho Increase doe como from a few of tho older mine nud not from now line, mid It may attract attention to tho gold mining Indtmtry of tho utato In which capital la needed for do Nelopmetit ami operation of mines nud mill. DAY ON GOLF LINKS PASS CIIIU8TIAN. MIhh,, Jan. C. ProHldonl WIIboii npont Sunday inlotly. Fluo weather prevailed to day and ho went to tho golf link early. Tho proHldout planned to take thing oimy tomorrow and thou roHiimo his roittluo dullon. John Idud was uchoduled to roach Vera Ortia today, folowlut; his con feronco nenr hero with PrcHldent WIU Hon, Hereafter, It wan announced, Mud will commuulcato only with tlm utnto dopnrtmont, 1'renldout Wlluon iiIho annoiiucod that ho had docldod not to vIhU Now OrloniiB. out Hiicker and good ear, and It wa from thl need corn that I got lux hmdielH to the aero September Ifi, 1013. Thl corn wa ll Hhueked, but not thoroughly Hen Honed, and wn due to homo nhrltik nge. Now I neither thinned nor nuckered till preent crop of corn Of cotimo, the corn nuckered, but not mifflcleut, I did not think, to decroaHo tho corn yield. Now I have again nolorted my need corn for 1011, blending four cxaentlal In one, namely; I elecled my need corn from Mroug, Htorky Htalk without Hiicker; early maturing and two good ear growing on eacii Htalk, Now I will know the origin of every bill of corn I grow In 191 1. In preparing thl corn for Heed I hIi tit achort It Into threo grade. Tho third grndn will be dlHcnrded for ced, but from the flrnt grndo I hnll elect ear for their uniformity In rite and length; number of grain or krenel row to the ear; number of grain to the row; a mnll cob; with long, well-filled grain down to tho rob; with uniform weight of each ear of corn. Now, brother farmer, your atten tion for one moment. When wo go to tho rom bin and holed tho fluent earn for need, do wo know whether the parent ntalk wn nix and one-half feet or nine feet high, or do wn know whethet tho ntalk produced one or two earn? Probably a largo family of nucker and probably ery lute In maturing nUo. Now, bo careful In selecting jour d from the ntalk wh:: growing. You can overcome or avoid alt thene, and by careful an nual breeding produce just what we want. Wo occasionally read of pro grenslvo dlntrlrt cmplo)!ng a farm HMclallat to tench general farming and stock raining, jimt a thl valley employ a fruit specialist. Wo want to study and como In doner touch with vegetable mul animal life mid our noil possibilities. In growing corn, all aiitborltlc ngreo that deep winter plowing give tho best re suit. Now I plant In three-foot rowH, and a stalk 3x3 feet give iih tsto ntalkH per acre, and com that will produce two earn to tho Htalk will make 1'i.so earn, and 100 earn to tho bushel give u 96 bushels per acre. Now, to get thene result, even with tho most Improved need com, It will not only rciiulro deep winter plowing, but tho land hIioiiIo ho treated with a nprlngtooth har row a early iih possible In tho spring and continue every ten day until planting. Plant with a planter. Cultivate three time If possible) by plowing deep with a cultivator until tho com get kneo or elghtcou Inches high, and then cultivate shal low with one-half of a nprlngtooth harrow with a block to follow to pre tho dirt to hold tho moisture. Thl should bo done once n week or every ten dayn until August 1 or 10. TIiIh cultivation la to connervo tho moisture. Karly ripening I of great Impor tance, and by carefully selecting need we can harvest our crops threo wecku earlier than wo usually do, All of our meal conic from tho northwest, when wo could furnish the corn to our local mills and keep thlH money t home. Tho oavltent ripening of tho yellow dent corn, H planted May 1, would ordinarily bo in tho dent stage August 15. and nt that Htngo pluck tho ear and throw on tho ground to dry fifteen days, Tho substance In tho cob will ho suf ficient to mnturo tho corn fairly well. Throw In your barn and hunk during rainy days of winter. To shuck corn for hogH la time thrown away. Now, of course, tho silo Ih tho best for tho stock ranch man, hut hero In the valley whom wo raUo fruit and don't uso tho ntalk It Is host to cut thorn with n mower, Immediately aftor plucking tho corn and while tho corn la on the ground curiae, for tho AugUBt nud Soptonibcr mm will, I think, dry tho Htalk no as (o bo cut up by n stalk cjittor.and' bo' plowod under to on rich tho soil, 1 grow tho yollow dent com. Well, nu It tho genornl custom half-long carrot will eld from 300 to 000 bushel per acre, and the stock or mangel carrot Is u heavier yleldor, hut hogs and horses seem to relish tho Dnnvor half-long variety tho bent. Pumpkins will he ready for use In September and can be used four or five months If gath ered carefully mid well housed. Car rots should tin dug In sufficient quantity to laitt until March, and the remainder left In tho ground until March. Dig and feed through tho spring mid early summer. A patch of carrot left over w:ntcr for the pig to root In will bo a good-paying Investment. Tho weight of tho pigs will not pack tho land very much. Tho writer 1 carrying a nice bunch through winter In this mnnner. Of course tho rancher who has all sticky soil cannot pasture his land from December until March. I find that a cooking vat to cook carrots, pump kins and alfalfa Is really necessary through tho winter season. All hogs should bo graded as to slzo and fed separately. Hogs should bo modl-i cated for worms and dlpix-d three or four times n, yoar In a solution of water nnd crude oil for lice. HogH enn't bo raised on 11 corn alone at a profit. Kockefcller util izes all tho by-products from his oil fields and makes axlo grease, etc, Tho great packers savo tho blood and hair from tho begs, horns and blood of tho cattle, and It finds a market. In this climate most every variety of plants will grow, and If the land I plowed deep In the win ter, most of the soil can be put In excellent hhapo In tho spring with a nprlngtooth harrow. After tho first harrowing four good homes will draw two nix-foot sprlngtooth har rowH, and one man can treat fifteen to twenty acres a day until planting time, nnd by proper cultivation and conserving moisture on theso lines wo noed not fear a fnlluro In any crop. I dry farm nitogcinor. Whon thousands of acres of the best land of the valley was planted to fruit trceH nnd no crop grown on tlio land it was equivalent to withdrawing a largo portion of the' people's money ironi circulation, and during tho years of 1909-10-U-12 hundreds of enrs of produco for the consumption of man and beaHt were shipped Into tho valley, when we should havo raUed this stuff and kept tho money at home. Now, It requires from Mx to eight years to get nn orchard to bear In paying quantities; nono but tho rich can handlo tho proposition and let tho land lay Idle; but wo can grow- n groat variety of crops between our( tree and grow and mature- hogs by feeding these by-products to these I hogs, which will find n ready mar ket, thereby keeping us on tho right 8ldo of tho ledger, nnd nt tho same tlmo our young pear orchard Is In creasing our land values from $50 to 175 per aero annually. Wlillo most all crops that grow In othor climates flourish in thin valley but tho flno climate, tho raro quality flnvor fif hor fruits havo nt tallied world records, mid when tho groHS vtiliio of theso crops goes up to 1 1000 and moro per acre, and ,by scientific handling of tho orchards wo need never expect a failure. Thl la why I am growing ubout I BO acres qt poar orchard, and as I carry 200 to 300 head of hogs nnd raise com nnd a number of othor crops In this young orchard to grow and finish theso hogs for market. Tho Mull Trihuuo nnd othor frlonds havo asked for this lottor, nnd It la through tholr earnest so licitations I hnve written It, Yours truly, T, J. PAHTON.
