With the present rain softening the
soil so that farmers can plough, the fall
turning OF, the soil is expected to absorb
the attention of the farmer for the next
few weeks. Up to the present time the
ground has been too hard and dry for
effective ploughing. The rains of the
past week have wet the ground to a
depth of four and five inches but the
showers of today are expected to in
crease this depth to eight inches. Hay
and vetch up Ankeney Bottom way have
been disced in on the spring plowing
and as soon as the soil is wet enough
plowing in general will begin.

There seems to be regular crop Of
people who are careless in addressing
letters. When mis.directed or improper.
ly directed letters are mailed at the
Salem postoffice, they are posted in a
case in the lobby. For instance, a postal
card, with no address reads in part:
'Stella and l are in Salem having a
nice time" \ postal is addressed to
Jeanette Jones, Mckay Creek, Oregon
and is held up as there is no such post
office in the state. The letter to w.
II. Spencer, Maderson, with no state ad-
dress, cannot travel, nor the one ad
dressed to Mrs, C. Nj. Bording, st. Croix
Falls. The postal clerks are rather back
ward about forwarding letters unless
there is also a state address included,
