PRACTICAL FARMING
BY GALlCE RANCHERS
Make Big Profit on Onions. Bees.
Fruit and Hay - Intensified
Farming Demonstrated.

Another instance OF what can be
accomplished ON Josephine county
land by the application of industry
and scientific methods is furnished
at Galice. where on less tlisn five
acres, Joseph Chambers and Frank
Carpenter have done wonders. They
are located on a narrow stretch Of
alluvial soil bordering on Rogue river,
one mile south of the Galice post
office, and by a system of intensified
agriculture have had some remarkable
yields from the small plots OF ground
available for their different kinds Of
crops. And with every week-every
passing day-they are making iIn-
provements of a substantial kind.
When they first took the-place, three
years ago, it was all run down and its
former occupant had been practically
starved OUT but now they are max
ing money from every foot of ground
and are laying the foundation for
rich reward in the years to come
From an onion patch 50xl00 feet
Messrs Chambers and Carpenter
raised eight sacks in 1908 Last year
they raised 20 sacks and this year 90
saoks-an increase of 700 per cent in
the third year of cultivation. In 1908
they had two stands Of bees. This
year they have 10 stands and gathered
300 pounds OF the finest honey. From
two small patches Of alfalfa these men
cut SIX crops during the past summer,
fed the COW and ~ hogs daily with II
and have a good supply left in the
barn. And then they have thriving
fruit trees-Newtown Pippins and
Spitzenberg apples-neaohes an
cherries These are cultivated around
the roots every month. From the cab
bsge patch two crops have been taken
this year; Strawberries, loganberries
and blaokberries are raised IN pro-
fusion and the grapes are splendid.
Nearly all other kinds of garden
vegetables are also raised and raised,

Temperance Union.

Although the rain poured down on

gathering from the different Sunday
schools Of the town for the Sunday

sisting.
Rev. Mr.. Beckman in his address
spoke of the power Of influence, and
told of banquet he attended in his
college days and the effect of one
young man turning his wine glass
upside down. 1t means so much to
take stand for right A little act
often changes the current of lie,
just as stream is sometimes turned
from its course by very small obsta-
cle. Let each be careful not to be
stumbling block or cause of offense
in anothers way but whatever in
fiuence we may have let it be for
right. Mr. Beckman also told of the
opposition of the liquor papers to
Local Option and all other prohibi.
tory laws aud quoted the following
from "Bonforts Wine and Spirit Cir
culars,' New York City. "a wave
of prohibition is sweeping over this
country from one end to the other,
that threatens to engulf and carry to
