A good many of the large farm J of
th Willamette valley are changing
hands. Now If the rest of the large
farma could be cut up Into am a II tract
a.nd sold to actual eettlera and work
era, the country would boom.
Harvest fs now on. In; full blast.' Hop
picking will probably commence, gen
.eraJly, August 28th (and, for the early
varieties, before that date), and there
will be little time for(our farmers to
play marble for a. good piany"weeks.
If there was a full fruit crop the labor
market would be mighty dryj As It Is,
willing workers are going' to be in de
mand, j '
a
Owing to the unusual late spring
rains, the corn crop for this section Is
somewhat short. But there will be
plenty ot It raised for ensilage by
those who have properly prepared
their land. Prof. J. B. Early, on his
farm near Macleay, and Hon. David
Looney, near Jefferson, have very fine
lorklnr corn, thoiiah some of the seed
in both these cases rotted in the"5 flve Eastern concerns, and the
ground. We would like to remark in
this connection that the men who arc
successfully carrying on scientific
farming, diversified and Intensified ag
riculture, are by no means all new
men, Some of the old Oregonlansand
some of the native sons and daughters,
are leaders In this line. . '
We know of a herd of mUk cows
near Salem thai wa recently sub
jected to the tuberculin test for tuber
culosis. What, reader, do you think,
happened? Why, It was found neces
sary to kill Just half of the whole num
ber. And these cow had been supply
ing milk right up to the time they
were sacrificed! We do not wish to
unduly alarm any one here: but how
do you know the milk you are drinking
fs not filled with th germ of consump
tion? There Is .but one way to know.
That test ought to be made universal
and regular. The law. contemplates
this. But the law Is not enforced.
jsThere are plenty of healthy cows. Most
iof the cows are healthy. But it would
not hurt these to be regularly subject
led to the test.
f Another bear element has entered
Into the Willamette valley wood mar
ket. It is the great activity of the
sawmills, especially In Portland, mak
ing the supply of slab; wood for fuel
purposes much larger than for
number of years. The-; - almost total
failure of the fruit crop and the con
sequent small demand of wood for dry
Ing. -has served to depress the wood
market. One of the state institution
ha been buying good wood for $1-90 a
cord. In this case, however, there was
a very abort haul. It is estimated that
the Slabs and other refuse of jthe big
$250,000 sawmill to be erected a
will pay for th transportatio
logs from the timber,. This js
th reasons for the desire ;to locate the
plant in that city, instead, of in the
timber. :

condltions are favorable next year, our
state will In 1900 have more than a
thousand cars of dried ; prune alone
to send to the outside markets. Our
hoo crop 1 mSre than a million col
lar crop. Our slmon catch in nearly
a. two million dollar consideration an
nually. We send a great deal of wheat
and dour and wool and beef cattle and
inmhind other nroducts to outside
markets. We have undeveloped re
sources. , W .. f ' -t lr;;
These things are encouraging. - '
But we are sending away enormoua
sums or money each year to the East
and to foreign countries for things we
should raise or make at home. These
things include nearly the whole range
of manufactured article, large and
small. Not only this, but we are buy
ing agricultural products of outsiders.
Not In small quantities, but by the
car load and the train load. 1 ?
Take pork products, for Instance.
There are five great packing firms
of the Eastern cities with houses es
tablished in Portland. They are sell
ing to the people of this state more
than a million dollars' worth of the
pork products of the Eastern states
'of the state of the Mississippi -val
ley.' Think of this! There is only one
large home concern to compete with
' 1 - .1-4 n v V... m ncm 4Ka hima firm
has been actually falling off In the past
few-years.
What Is the remedy?
The farmers of Oregon can raise hogs
and they can fatten them as well as
the farmers of the states east of us.
They could do It, If they had the prop
er encouragement. The remedy is the
securing of Eastern , capital to engage
In the packing business, or the organ
ization of home capital for the pur
pose. There Is plenty of home capital.
The bank are full of Idle money The
Interest rates are going down, and
they will go down further. i
Oregon ought to save all this money
that Is going, at the rate of a hundred
thousand dollars a month or more, for
the pork products of the East, to the
people of this etate. She has the land.
She can raise the hogs. She can fatten
them. Not only this, but Oregon ought
to send to the growing markets of the
Pacific ports a great deal of the pork
product that are coming here and
being shipped from our home ports.
What .we need is more capital or more
organisation. More packing houses.'

The above are words of Hon James

partment of agriculture,, employed In
an Interview by an Oregon! an reporter,
Mr. Wilson Im making a visit to Oregon
farms. In the service of the department
which he is the head. He will be up
through the Willamette valley In a few
days.
: Mr. Wilson Is an . enthusiast ' in hi
line of work. !He is a practical man.
He Is using the machinery of his de
partment to encourage the raising of
agricultural products in this country
which we now ship from abroad, . and
to assist In increasing- our agricultural
exports. : I - ;-' - . -
He see great markets opening up
for the surplus of the ranges, farms
and orchards of Oregon and adjoining
statea He tell our farmers to diver
sify to raise something besides wheat.
We can inform Mr. Wilson that there
ha been great improvement along
these line within the past few years.
But he points out reasons for further
Improvement. Diversify. Raise i the
things that can be produced best and
most abundantly in each particular
locality. This Is the advice of the
man who stands for all the farming
Interests of the country In an official
way. It Is the best advice that can be
given. It is the lesson of manifest
destiny.
FOR 'ANOTHER WEEK.
Report of the Crop Throughout West

B. S. Pague, the section director at
Portland, says as follow in his report
for the week ending July 24th:
"The crops of the state are in fair
condition, not as good as in some
years, but better than In others. With
the exception of a few counties in the
eastern section, where shrivelling1 of
prlng;-own wheat ha taken place,
the grain prospects are promlsin.
The total yield will not come up to the
average, owing to the reduced acreage

says: I have studied -the r-ituatloa
and the sentiment in n y Mate care,
fully, and can say with a -hut tree that
Mr. McKinley'a popularity wlih th
people of Oregon is not on the wane.
Mr. McKlnley has always ken a U I
vorlte In Oregon. Ibtv bc-Ueve in hi f
and they have always believed in him. I
Tliey have upheld his policy through- I
out the war, and they w on't desert
him new on thf Philippine quest 'oa :
We must hold the Ph Upplnes at anyjL
cost. Haxlng destroyed the only cor-
eminent they had, we are. under the f.
sticngtst kind of liligatlons to lh
nations of the world to estjldish an I
maintain another to taki lis place. I j
have always endeavored io support n.f f
own opinions withtrut denouncing the
opinions of others, but I have watchel
with much sorrow the attaens made I
iion the admlnistra'ion by a constit-1
ticncy of An -erica ns who rail th?m- 1
selves anU lrnperl 'l's. A govern-
ment Is particularly unfortunate which f
is attacked by lis own subWi. t J
havo n doubt that thee men are con-
sclent'.ous men and telle e .v hat t her
say. but this Is not the flrtt tlnre that I
misguidei. cr nst ientious :nen have
done great harm. As to the matter of f
trusts, I have little to say. Tli rc are j
trusts and trusts. There trusts wl.tcb ";-
are organized to kill comi.iiilon -nl
drive the rmall dealer; out cf business
shculd be legislated against. The mr
cct of cor rol Ida ting stm'lJr bu.Hlnes
cencerns for the purptM of enlarglag
their business 4s perfectly lawful, and
there is no way to i-rcvcn. it. : I am
aware that it will bf. a difllcuit matter
to make a distlr.cilon ttlwetn the ttra
classes of trusts, but the v elfar and
prosifrity of the country demanJi
that it be done."
TOO SUSPICIOUS.
There Is no reason why a Protestant
