WALLoWA COUNTY LAND
VALUES.

Peop'e who complain of high land
values in the valley are Influenced
to a great extent by remembering
how cheap they could have bought
even the choicest farms a few years
ago. A man who came into the val
lev 12 years ago and predicted the
rich valley land with abundance Of
water would sell some day at $50 an
acre. was laughed at The settlers
thought he was dreaming. Yet tha.
land is cheap today at twice $50, and
is going higher.
And why shoull it not go higher?
Farmers in the vicinity of Enterprise
are reluctant to lease their land to
the sugar factory people at $40 an
acre cash rent, saying they make
more than that off it. This in spite
of the well known fact that the su-
gar company would turn back the
land thoroughly cleaned and in bet
ter shape than it ever was. Finally
a few public-spirited citizens turned
over some choice acres just to en-
courage the test.
When a man can get $40 an acre
cash rent for the land from the best
of tenants, it Looks to man up a
tree the land is worth great deal
more than is beng asked for it.
But If mequal!ed valley land with
perpetual, free and abundant water
is dear a. $75 (sells elsewhere for
$50 to $500, then take your fill
of as fine wheat land as lies out
doors for SIS to, $40 an acre. Just
as good and so ne say better than
the $50 Umatilla or Palouse wheat
land.
If it is all too dear, go take va
cation. Stay away year or two and
then come back and pay double the
present prices and be glad to do it.

One reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers is
the difficulty OF curing the hay. If it
is left in the swath until dry enough To
put In the NOW, the leaves. which are
the most valuable part, Will become
so brittle that many of them win be
lost. A better way is to go over the
field with side delivery raise as soon
as the leaves have wilted little and
throw the hay together in loose wind
rows. Handled in this way. it dries
evenly, and the leaves will not fall off
so easily. Hay cured in this way is
also less liable to be dusty than when
cured by direct exposure to the sun.
Once in awhile. even with the best of
care. some of the hay win be caught in
a rain. A hard rain on clover or al
talfa hay washes out much of the nu-
triment which it contains. Such hav

but may be made good use of for bed
ding. In this way it is mixed with
the manure, and the plant food which
1t contains is returned to the soil.
Cowpeas and soy beans are TO the
southern part of the United States
what clover and alfalfa are to the
northern sections. They are grown
more as hay and forage than for the
grain. These legumes are also used In
some sections of the corn belt as catch
crops. If sown on early fall plowing.
they prevent the soil from washing
and thus losing much of its available
plant food. They may be pastured Off

The SENATE IN A NOVEL

The House was scheduled to vote
on the Payne tariff bill Friday of
this week. 1t will then go to the
Senate where for three months q
grand bluff a. discussing it will be
made, and finally it will be smoth-
cred, killed and the bill prepared by
Aldrich, by and with the consent of
Standard Oil, ]. P. Morgan and the
other two or three owners of Amer
lea, will be passed in its stead
This is no partisan statement and
the action of the Senate will be no
partisan movement. There is neither
a Republican nor Democratic party
In the Senate. The division is on
more vital issues than party names
To give a report of the prefunc-
tory proceedings of the Senate, the
speeches., e.c., would be waste OF
space. They are only intended as
blind-to throw dust in the eyes
OF the greenhorns out here in the
Dackwoods who still think this gov.
ernment is a republic.
No, this paper has something far
better for its readers than a resume
OF hypocrisy and chicanery, some

FIG. M-CUTTING HEAVY GROWTH OF
ALFALFA.
later or dlsked up in the spring. They
are often sown in cornfields during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil
Because of the fact that other crops
make so much better growth after the
field has grown a legume for year or
80 1t is important that crop of clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally. If plan of rotation is ar
ranged SO that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another, so
much the better. 1t has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
er year on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds of
food that certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous. If another kind OF
plant is substituted, other elements of
plant food will be drawn upon, the In.
sects will be starved out and the chang.
ed methods Of soil treatment will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly in their ability to
get food from the SOIL Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from soil
on which more tender plants would
starve. Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the humus supply rapidly, since the
constant stirring of the soil hastens de-
cay. Oats, on the other hand, take
ccmparatively little humus from the
S, IL.
These differences may be largely
equalized by a consistent system of ro-
tation. In planning rotations the aim
should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
condition In which the soil was left by
the preceding crop. The starting point
Of every rotation should be clover or
some other legume. The length Of time
that a field should be left I'm to such
crop depends largely on local condi-
tions. In the east. where alfalfa seed
Is high and the difficulties of obtaining
a stand great, II is usually wise not to
plow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years:
hence If not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any one crop
Since clover Is grown with small
grain the first year. this means only
one year In which 1t will be the sole
crop If the second crop Of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
In humus, this work had better be
done in the fall so that the mass of
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop is planted.
If the soil has been properly cared for.
however, this green manuring will he
unnecessary. AS general rule it Is
more profitable to feed the hay or
grass to stock and return the manure
to the land. In this way from 80 to
90 per cent as much plant food is
added as would have been If the crop
had been plowed under. and at the
same time the stock has had the bene-
ft of the extra feed When only the
stubble is to be turned under, the
blowing may be done either In late
TALL or early spring.

HEAD Of KAkAAkO
MISSION IS BACK

P. w. Rider, superintendent of the
Kakaako Mission, returned home from
a three months visit 20 the mainland
on the Hilonian yesterday, after travel
ing about 1000 miles. He went to New
York to visit his daughter, and while
there visited the waterfront missions.
He then went to Ohio and visited his
birthplace, which he left in 1862 to
enter the Union Army, and found five
people living there yet who were his
boyhood friends. He met his sister,
whom he had not seen for thirty one
years. In Chicago he spent consider
able time looking into the juvenile
work of the settlements and missions,
and in his travels he has picked up
many ideas about the treatment of
Juveniles, which he hopes to put to
use here.
While in San Francisco he visited
the pineapple repacking establishment
of Ginaca and Fred Haley, where Ha-
waiian pines are recrated and distribut-
ed. He says they are busy duo of
Honolulans, employing about eight men
to crate the pines. While he was at
the warehouse eight wagonloads of
pines were sent out. Very few of the
pines appeared to be damaged. He
states that Ginaca expressed the opin-
ion that the local shippers would do
well to send their fruit to them so that
there should be one general distribut-
ing depot.
Last evening about one hundred and
fifty little children of Kakaako were
at the mission to greet the superintend-
