We wish to say few words to the
subscribers of the DEMoCRAT who are
farmers, in regard to this department
Of the paper. 1t is our desire to make
it an interesting one to those of our
readers who are more particularly inter
ested in agricultural matters, and for
that purpose we should be glad if our
readers among the farmers would make
as occasional contributions on such
subjects of interest as occur to them
from time to time, Suggestions as to
better methods of farming, variety of
crOps, personal experience in various
branches of agriculture, and items in
regard to stock raising as applicable to
the class of farming pursued in the
Willamette Valley, and various other
topics that might be mentioned, offer
IA almost inexsaastible field. We are
ameng those who consider that our
farming community possesses not only
the Drawn and muscle, but proper
tcAats share of the brains that 60 to
make up the intelligent and enlightened
American people. And VIC believe, too,
that the ideas of practical farmers are
more apt to BE- Of utility to beginners in
farm life than the Aowery perorations
Of the average conductors of agricultu-
raj papers. We want to hear from our
own farmers; we want them to express
their epiniens on the subjects that arise
daily in their farm life and experience,
because we believe they cannot fail to
be Of interest. When you ara in doubt
about the feasibility of this or that
method or question connected with
ysur farming, sit down and write, ask.
ing soms one who has had more exper.
ience to give yeu and others the benefit
Of it through the columns of the DEN
oCRAT. If you have had some special
experience, q knowledge of which you
think would be of benefit to ysur neigh.
bOrs write to your paper. Write briefly
and to the point, and your communica
tions viii always be welcomed The
DEMoCRAT receives large proportion oi
its support fren the farmers, and hear.
tily appreciating the same, We are anx.
isus TO make it worthy of it in every
possible respect To do do this will be
Auch easier if our farmers will write
~ and take an interestin this depart
ment and give rs better knowledge oi
What they want. The wives and sons
and daughters Of our farmers should
also take an interest in this apartment
and We will always find space for com
nunieations of interest frsm them.

4 good many curious calculations
have been made In connection with
tho enormous crops Of wheat pro-
duced by the Dalrymple farm In

the harvester and the length Of the cut

seventy-five shocks of twelve bundles

the field the shocks numbered l $50,

Allowing thirty inches of wire to
