sU- Hon. A. X. Boteler has handed
us a sample of white wheat from Ore
gon, which was presented to him by the
Hon. A. J. Dufm, United States Cen
tennial Commissioner of that State, at
the recent meeting of the Commission
in Philadelphia tits part of crop cut
this year which yielded sixtyseven
bushels and 10 quarts per acre-hfty
bushels per acre being the average yield
in the Willamette Valley, where this
specimen was grown and where the
usual price is sl,25 per bushel. Judging
from the plumpness Of its grain it will
weigh over the standard of 60 lbs to
the bushel.
Oregon mus. be q fine country for
farmers. Well improved lands can be
had there at one third the price of those
in this County, and their average yield
is four times as great. Notwithstanding
its high latitude the winters in the Wal

pa LEAF YEAR.-The privilege OF
ladies choosing husbands is thus ex-
planned in work entitled, "Courtship,
Love and Matrimonie," printed in 1905.
"Albeit it is now become part OF the
common lave in regard to social rela-
tons of life, that as often as leap year
dosh return, the ladyes have the sole
privilege, during the time it continueth,
of making love unto the men, which
they do either by words or looks, as to
them it seemeth proper; and, moreover,
no man will be entitled to the benefit OF
clergy who dothe refuse to accept the
offers of a lady, or who dOthe in any
wise treate her proposal withe slight or
contumely.
Blessings brighten as they take their
flight and we trust our ladies will make
the most of their privilege, and coax in
to the matrimonial state some staid
bachelors that seem proof against Gu
bids arrows and the charms of sweet
woman. The shortness of the time will
only require more vigorous attacks.
Take them by storm.
