A Number Of Valuable Animals Have
Been Killed This Week

There is a dog poisoner at work in
Bennington and he has already sue
ceeded in killing more than half a
dozen animals, all of them pets of
their owners and some of them valu-
able.
The poisoner seems to have put out
his deadly bait somewhere In the vic
unity Of the junction Of Gage and SAT-
ford streets for most Of the dogs that
have persisted have been owned by
persons living in this locality.
The poisoner has evidently used a
particularly deadly drug, for the dogs
have in some instances dropped and
expired in the highway. One was
found on a lawn and another in a dog
house.

Asparagus Grown in
Willamette Valley
Small Grain Farming on Ranches is
Given Up for the Prolific
Root Crop.

EUGENE, June 16.-Small grain farming
on ranches of from 400 to 1000 acres has
gone out of fashion in the upper William
cite valley. TO n large extent, and has been
succeeded on the rich alluvial bottoms,
alon gwater courses, by asparagus celery,
rutabagas, onions and other prolific bear
ing root crops, Several cannery men of
California and other sections have visited
the asparagus fields here and have pro-
nounced them the best for their age they
have ever seen. The harvest Of the grass
is now in full swing. Late spring rains
have held back the product, but over a ton
q day Is now being hauled to the city mer-
chants and express offices for shipment to
Portland from one small farm of fifty
acres Asparagus begins to produce its
commercial crop the second year and is
excellent the third year. Lane county as
paragus Is selling at 10h cents this spring,
while asparagus from eastern Washington
is selling at cents, and California mar
kets have gone to pieces because of a rate
fight among certain producers of the Sac
ramento valley, according to reports. The
demand for the green tips Is strong. The
tubers grow very fast In the bottom sub
irrigated soils. Onions, too, are a highly
remunerative crop, the valley lands yielding
all the way from 5000 to 1900 pounds per
acre. There has been a demand for 7O,0Ot
pounds OF Australian reds this season.

demonstrated success here, also. II the

and 1t will be pushed to completion.
Stephen o. Jayne, manager OF the federal
governments irrigation projects In the
northwest, with headquarters In Spokane,
said on returning from a trip through the
Columbia River valley that the farmers in
the Alfalfa and White Bluffs districts are
keenly interested in the possibilities OF
dairy farming and hog raising.
These localities under irrigation will
raise large crops Of alfalfa" he added.
The settlers are considering the matter OF
getting dairy cows and feeding them al
falfa, also going into hog raising on an
extensive scale. The cultivation of alfalfa
is needed for building up the fertility OF
the soil which is naturally lacking in
humus. Alfalfa, too, is a means OF getting
a quicker return on Investments than fruit
raising. In the valley, away from the rail-
ways, II is worth 500 a ton and on board
the cars It brings $21 a ton. Three or four
crops can be raised in a season, equalinB
about seven tons to the acre. II is good
for the land enriching instead of exhaust
ing 1t. Another point is, that 1t increases
the water holding capacity OF the soil, an
important matter where water is scarce
or has to be pumped"
