plus of provisions on haad to supply an emigration
Of 10000. And when we reflect on the unsettled
ccrtiuon OF our farming pos1ston, and the too
general neglect Of agricultural pursuits tlls fact
reflects great credit on our territory. With such
evidence of great resources, what can we not do,
by proper application of the develOpement of our
natural resources.
And i is a fact worthy of record, that our agri-
culturslists are becoming convinced that the Ii.h
est gold mil es to which they can resort are their
own fertile fields. We have many facts before us
which lead US to the conviction that every man
who can command a rood of land would do well
for hDself and the country, to draw out Of all Of
which IL is capable.
lhal agricultural pursuits will pay largelv, a
few facts will prove. For example-we overheard
a genl. man a few days since, Iemarkng that he
had just sold stock from his farm to the amount Of
81 GOO And the same gentleman said that, aside
from his remaining stock, he also had one hun
dred and nifty acres of wheat, which is now being
harvested, and which will yield fron twenty 10
thirty bushels per acre. And any one can cslcu.
late the thousands of dollars such crop will se-
cure 10 its owner We have heard of two or
three gentlemen on the Columbia river who have
large beids Of potatoes which have been, by disn-
teresitd persons, estimated at 81, 900 per acre.
One individual has ten acres OF potatoes, which
have and will in all cost him two months of per-
sonal labor, and the same amount OF labor from
Two hired hands, and if he meet with no adverse
fortune, he will realize eight or ten thousand dol
lsrs from his potatoes alone In the upper part of
the Willamette and Umpqua valleys there are al
dairy business in the most beautiful country the
world.
Now, with all these golden harvests ripening
around Them, and with The pleasures Of home To
swteten every care, and the assurance Of grow
ing demand for the products of the SOIL and the
continuance for years Of high prices, will not every
citizen Of Oregon realize al once the vast import
ance of prosecuting with the utmost vigor, the
agricultural operations Of the territory.
