POOLING THEIR CROPS khkmkks at maclkav asi a dais VILtK SECI KK GOOD FIvfCES Bjr Selling Their Crop in Lrg Qaantitl to Kig Dealers -Some Fair Ylehlrt Krportetl. I From 'Daily Statesman. Aug. 15.) Tin farmers in the vicinity of Mae leay. Shaw ami Ainnsvilie have iKohd their wln-at and oats and as a result are securing" a gixwi price for their crops. - Monday the owners of oats hail a meeting and accepted the oSTer of Moore and Ferguson, of San Fran cisco, for P5.SOO bushels at cents. tlanlner Pros., of the SI ay ton mill, have ofTered the farmers of this se. tion 7-y, ci-ut.s n busiiel for wMieat. di- livere.1 at 11nir -mill in Stayton. This mill will require at last S'l.tX- -hosti els of v.lieal ti supply its demau ls a.id if is probable that a large par! of the crop of this section will le sold at the ligures offered. 1 iie offer holds good for thirty days and no doubt many farmers will take advantage of it. The condition of the Willamette valley grain crop has so orten boon painted in the . darkest colors imagin able, and tlie fmj-ill yield exploited, that the public generally lieliovos th" v. heat crop is a failure throughout t'e valley. Hut ,reoi-ts, coming from in dividual farmers tin every portion of Marion county, are more favorable than was. anticipated, -and the on think is not as gloomy as lias Iiceu stated in the pa si a John Short, who resides on tin L. ". Crti'litii farm four miles e:tst of Maeleay. and adjoining the line farm of Citv. T. T. ;er, reprts an excel lent yield for this season. He had llo acres ' in wheat, ami recently thresheI the crop. Sixty teres of litis wheal -one Held yielded 2'Z bushels lo the acre, while another field of fifty acres, yielded a trifle over IS bushels er acre. On tw adjoin ing farm, last year, -the yield of wheat was l bushels flier acre, making this year's ; crop about half of that har vested last year. W. II. Downing, of ' Sublimity, had forty acres In wheit this year, which y!cldd nearly 17 bushels er . acr, and others, .in this same section se cured crops nearly equalling this. II. J. Workman, on Salem Prairie, had a fine field of wheat, which, up to the- harvest season, promts! an excellent yield, but It was somevhnt of a disjiiUHiintitM'tit .as it lurnd out but 15 bttsliels er acre. This. hw evir. Is the b-st. yield rcNrtd from that nelghliorhooil. and is much Ht ter Uian the ttverage north of this -ity, when the crop was. in many instances, almost a. failure.
