Friday, September 8, 1876. THE AGRICULTURAL INTER- EST. Patronize home industry is a trite ruixirn of political economy of the; Poor K:chard order that has become a J little hackneyed, but yet ia expressive j ot sound p ilicy and the true secret of industrial prosperity. Its obvious, expediency is especially applicable; in this Territory to the farming interest, i Wiv statesman-.hip in former years has ' encouraged tho national interests that were backward by means of protective tariffs established by legal enactment. Such, a locally selfish expedient is not within the power of our Territorial law-makers, but the -ame result is to l«j attaiued in a measure by means of a public -entimeut upon the matter. It b< hooves all the several interests in the community, mercantile, matiuiactur ing professional and commercial, not merely to patronize so far as advanta geous the home agriculture, as existing, but further to take an interest in its development and success. There is ne» resource which a country can s * peculiarly call its own, and whioh f.»rin Mi enduring a basis of prosperity us agriculture. The t'ariners are thor oughly identified with the institutions of the country, and besides adding to its stat»i lit y. they contribute as much to its tra>io in proportion to their means, directly or indirectly, as any other class. The wealthiest commercial and manu facturing communities are those which are I wicked up by agriculture thriv ing around them The commercial po sition of Astoria, and for the matter of that, Seattle, hitherto, has been over whelmed by the agricultural wealth of the Willamette, nourishing Portland. The great obstacle in the way of our agriculture is the want of capital. Our farmers are mostly poor, struggling to get a start, with slender means to be giu with. Our lands, when averaged, rate high for productiveness and apo capable ol feeding and employing an immense population. The con quest of a farm from the waste is a somewhat heavy job—though not an unprofitable one in itself, -and it requires a strong arm to get the lever age upon it If individual or collect ive capital or sagacity can effect the more general npplication of machinery and ial >or saving appliances to the int- prov< moiit of land* said cultivation of farms, a good result will be Accom plished. There i-t not euough agrieul- ml machinery in this district to take tare «>f tin present crops to the best ad vantage, and the clearing of land c*n be « ffected by cooperation and the pow< r of mechanical contrivances, on a wholt sale scale, much cheaper and mere rapidly than by the unaided strength of the settler alono. It is time that the slopes and flats skirting the shore of the Sound iu the vicinity of the towns to the distance of miles around, were binding with or chard-. and gardens and grass-waving fields The lands in the immediate vi ciuage of the Territorial metropolis are too valuable to U reserved merely for a timber 1 t. We are glad to see the progress that is making iu the planting of fruit trees hereabout, and arc con fid ent tdfct the business will increase and thrive in the future. The proposition wlvjeh devolves upon our (wople t<> establish in this re gard, i*. that the shore lauds of Puget Sound may l«e made available in agri culture at a profit alter the timber is removed. When this i- demonstrated to the coming immigrants, a great addi tion to the resources of our prosperity will have been made. TELEGRAPHIC CAUFORXIA.
