H, S Wynant brought some samples
of rye, vetch and clover to the
Courier office this week that were
grown on some of Josephine county s
granite soil, without irrigation,
which shows what can be grown if
the ground is only put in proper
shape. Mr.. Wynant has nine acres
in clover from which he expects to get
six tons to the acre this season. 1t
was sown about year ago and is now
over two feet high. The rye is abont
six feet tall, and the vetch, sown
with the rye, is over two feet high.

Mrs. @. NJ. Rexford of Kubli, who
fell from high bridge with horse
and buggy last week, continues to
improve, though those who view the
spot where she went over consider ii
almost miraculous that she was not
instantly killed as the fall was no less
than 25 feet The horse, frightened
at hole in the bridge left by a
broken plank, ran backward, cramped
the buggy, smashed the railing and
ran the buggy off the bridge where il
swung vertically in space. The horse
then made desperate effort to keep
its footing ON the bridge, actually
pulling off one of its shoes in the
scramble, but finally fell over back
wards. The buggy swung under the
bridge and fell bottom side up The
top of the buggy, which imprisoned
Mrs Rexford during the fracas, pro-
tected her in the fall The horse fell
across one of the sills of the bridge
and was instantly killed, its neck and
back being broken.
