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

have ofTered the farmers of this se.

of the crop of this section will le sold

good for thirty days and no doubt
many farmers will take advantage
of it.
The condition of the Willamette

that the public generally lieliovos th"

than was. anticipated, -and the on think

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

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
