"RUsT IN WHEAT"

Much has been said in the various
papers of our State concerning the
ravages made by the rust in our
wheat, but very little has been offered
in the way of prevention for the fu-
ture, and therefore 1 will offer my ex-
perience this year, and twenty-five
years previous.
This year sowed wheat in Decem-
ber that was grown in the vicinity for
many years. 1t was damaged by the
rust. I sowed wheat of the variet y
known as Medfterarnain same day
in the same soil-seed newly imported
nto the country. Resul t: no rust,
heavy plump wheat, so bushels or
more per acre than the other. Late in
the Spring sowed a variety known as
Sonora wheat, result: no rust, wheat
plump but not so prolific as other
years. Now my experience in farm.
| ing on this coast from 1858 to the
present time, has been that finely de.
veloped samples of any variety o

coast counties, and sown in the inland
valleys, each in their season, will
Withstand drouth, rust, and all othe,
diseases much better than seed OF you,
own neighborhood, and produce from
10 to SO bushels more to the acre. rhe,
If this be true, and have never hearf
it contradicted by any farmer VIII
tested the plan, let the inland val
ley farmer send to the seashore fo
such varieties of wheat as he NAV da
| sire TO SOW, and vice versa, and by thi
radical change of climate and soiI
sown fields of grain will be of q bette
quality and yield more to the acre
sufficient amount more to comuens
ate the farmer for extra cost of seed
besides increasing his chances for
crop in q dangerous season.
The above plan with judicious enIfi
vation and sowing each variety In II,
proper season, will do much for tn
/ farmers prosperity.

Moral Town.

We had the pleasure of call from
Mr. F. M. Gabtert Saturday That
gentleman informed us that Myrtle
Jreek is becoming and must be
known hereafter as a moral, quiet
town, and offered as proof the fact
that not fight had occurred within
twenty-four hours. He left us with
the pleasing thought that the rust had
not done very material damage to the
wheat of that section of the county,
stating that most of the damage re-
ported done was imaginary.

.send,np Goals to Newcastle.

1t may appear strange that Douglas
county should ship -four to Lane
county for home consumption. This
is true nevertheless. Last week several
orders were filled for -four for Lane
county at the Myrtle Creek mills, and
since then several orders from Eugene
have been received. The flour manu-
factured in this county is first-class,
and there is no better proofin its favor
than is found in the fact that those
who know it best are its heaviest
| purchasers.

Jewish New Year.

The New Year of the Israelites
commenced last Wednesday evening
and ends this friday evening. The
occasion was not SO stilctly observed

that they enjoyed New Year even
though it was New Year without fire.

and there remains for US to only wish

The Growth Of Roseburg.

Several weeks ago we published the
census of the city, showing the growth
of Roseburg. The report made by the
census-taker was very aattering. 1t
is not more SO, however, than the fact
that MFR. Aaron Rose has lately or
dered survey of another portion OF
his farm into town lots in order to
give those wishing lots and who de-
sire to permanently locate here an op-
portunity to build residences. The
new survey will add much in size to
the town, and in few weeks Rose
burg will have grown the distance Of
one-half mile.

her, and at her resurrection will find
none but friends in Heaven.

BRIEF MENTION.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-01-15

GEN. VoLNEY Il. HOWARD, OF
this county, is nothing if not gal.
liant. In the debate on woman
suffrage, in the Constitutional Con.
vention, the other day, he was in
favor of allowing the ladies, God
bless 'em, to vote whenever a ma
jority of them desired to do so. We
arc surprised that our old friend
did not yield to the full volume ol
his chivalric impulses and pro.
claim himself in favor of woman
suffrage, without any ifs or butts.
But what will be thought of those
odious men who proclaimed them.
selves opposed to the innovation
on principle, one of them going SC
far as to say the experiment had
proved a downright failure In Wy.
oming? A day of retribution will
surely come for these stiff-Lecked
scoffers.

THE luck of England IN gob-
bling up new provinces surpasses
belief. Afghanistan will probably
share the fate of the hundred ASH
attic municipalities which have pre-
ceded it into slavery and which
now form portions of the dominion
of the Empress of India. The
highly moral people of England
seem to have no compunctions of
conscience at keeping two hundred
and fifty millions of Asiatics in a
slavery compared to which the
African serfdom which prevailed
In the United States was the bond
mans millennium. We wonder
when the territorial appropriation
epidemic will catch the United
States.
