The state has 704, 600 hcres of wheat
land on which was raised this season
practically 1870, 900 bushels Last
yearsthe yield was 12, 43S, S27 The
acreage this year is larger and some
of the counties, especially those in
Eastern Oregon, had more bountiful
crops. The Willamette Valley alone
showed remarkable shortage in this
years crop owing to the lack of rain,
a calamity which very seldom strikes
this portion Of the state. This year
has been a very prosperous enc for the
Oregon farmer. Counting the present
average price of wheat at 81 cents per
bushel, it makes this years crop
worth sll, ll6, 900.
Next to wheat the hop crop is the
most important in the state. 1t is
valued this year at SOL, ,00.00 The
crop of hops this year was very close
to So, 600 bales. which average 200
pounds each. At 80 cents, the pres.
ent market price, the total value of
the crop is S., 100, 600
Oats come third in importance in
the grain crop of the state. The
latest government report gives this
state 2S2, 600 acres, which produced
6, ola, coo bushels this year, with a
net value to the grower of $2,670, 740
In the Willamette Valley, the oat crop
this year has been very light, but
Eastern Oregon has supplied enough
to make up this shortage

say that Oregon is unexcelled, but

season, which produced a crop of Q. e

o. A. C SHORT COURSES
Two Courses In Agriculture and
Dairyins.

Immediately following the winter
holidays, the Oregon Agricultural
College, at Corvallis, will give free
of charge two popular short courses
of instruotion-one in agriculture.
the other in dairying. These courses
consist chiefly of lectures by special
lists from the Faculty and from
abroad, combined with work IN the
h boratories, where students have
access to the apparatus of the College
and Experiment station. The lectures
are designed for busy men and women
who desire to advance with this pro-
gressiye age, but cannot avail them
selves of the full.four year course Of
instruction; hence the course of
lectures will come at the most con.
veniont season of the year for com.
bining pleasure and recreation with
profitable study. Those familiar
with the short course system of lee
lures, speak of it as rare opportun-
ity for practical men and women to
familiarize themselves with the more
salient points touching their business.
and TO gather such general informa-
tion as will enable them to live that
higher industrial life possible to every
farmer and housekeeper.
The instruction, which is simple, is
adapted to the literary attainments of
all hence no educational test is re-
quired for admission TO either of the
courses. The schedule of lectures
will be announced in due time.
The course in agriculture will begin
January 9th, and continue 10 days.
Some Of the subjects to be discussed
are Horticulture, Plant Breeding,
Bacteriology, Chemical Elements,
How Plants Work, Budding Of Plants
based upon Plant Culture, Hints on
Farming, How to Conserve the Fer
tility of the Soil, Drainage, Soil
Moisture, Rose Culture, Veterinary
Surgery, Rotation of Crops. Road
making, Fertilization and How to
Mako the Old Farm Pay.
The course in dairying will COM
mence January 81, and continue six
weeks. Students will meet for work
six days of the week. The mornings
will be devoted to practical work in
dairy rooms, two days will be devoted
to butter making, two days to cheese
making, and two days will be spent
in the dairy laboratories. In the
afternoon Of the days, except those
devoted to cheese making, lectures
aud recitations will occupy two or
three hours. The lectures will treat
of Soil Chemistry and Physics, Feed
and Feeding, Dairying, Bacteriology,
Breeds and Breeding, and Chemistry
of Dairy Products,
There will be no fees except the
breakage deposit OF three dollars.
This deposit IL intended to cover
breakage Of glass ware in the labora.
tory, and the actual cost of material
used hence n part of this fee will be
returned in case Of no breakage.
Books will cost about $500 Rooms
with board and lodging will cost

A LULL IN SIEGE
OF Port Arthur Stayed
by Japanese for
Time.
WILL NOT ASSAULT AT ONCE
Large Guns Rendered Dangerous to
Operate by Reason of Long
Use.

Chefoo. Sept. 5.-Since Aug. %, when
the last general attack on Port Ar
thur took place. Quietness has prevail
ed there. 1t has been aScertained that
the attacking forces numbered 10000,
consisting of three divisions-the first.
commanded by Lieut.. Gen. Matsura; !;
the ninth, by Lieut.. Gen. Oshima, and
the 11th, by Lieut.. Gen. Tsuchiya-the
whole being under the supreme COM
mand of Gen. Nogi. The ninth division
suffered most. The army now is being
heavily reinforced from Japan.
Plan for Assault Abandoned.
The plan for an immediate infantry
assault has been abandoned, and 400
heavy guns are being mounted on the
Japanese positions for a continual
bombardment of the enemy, with a
view of silencing the Russian guns be-
fore the infantry renews the attack.
Lieut.. Gen. Nogi is said to have been
disheartened. and to have only been
restrained with difficulty from charg-
ing at the head OF his troops to the
wall of the forts.
One large naval gun at Liaotishan
has burst. This indicates that the life
of similar weapons is growing precar-
iOus.
More Stringent Blockade.
A more stringent blockade has been
instituted by the Japanese. Their
warships are cruising along the Chi
nese coast, where there are hundreds
of junks and blockade runners. and at
Wei-Hai-Wei particularly.
