The Harnev County Wool Growers
association, recently organized, has
turned down a flattering offer made by
the Bend Automobile Trucks company
to transport their wool to Bend and
has selected Vale and Ontario as the
best place to market their wool.
This means that practically all of the
Harney county and Steins mountain
wool will come this way this season.
Sheep shearing along the eastern
border of this county has already be
gun at the Trow and Johnson plant on
the Belding ranch between Vale and i
Ontario. About 7000 sheep will be i
sheared there this season. I
At the Anderson-Gwinn ranch, six
miles east of Vale, where lambing
season is well advanced the 7000 ewes
show an increase of 141 per cent.
When the large Brogan shearing
plant starts operations about the mid
dle of next month several thousand
sheep will be sheared each day during
the season. The run estimated will
total about 100,000 head of sheep.

Pioneer Mining Man Visits Vale-Tells of Activity in the

County Seat
Let the Enterprise do it!
GREA T RE VIVAL IS
SEEN IN MALHEUR
COUNTY REAL EST A TE
The mill run at the Humboldt mine,
a few days ago, proved very Futis
factory according to S. P. Colt, the
pioneer mining man of the Mormon
Basin who was in town Monday. "It
showed up $12 to the ton and the best
was sorted and shipped to the
smelter. This mine, said he is
looking better than ever before and
will show up good."
There is lots of snow in the Basin,
three and a half feet, while the moun
tains are covered by a seven foot
blanket. There should be lots of
water for mining this season."
According to Mr. Colt, 75 men
developing the Rainbow and a new
mill will be erected in the spring to
take the place of the old one now be
ing torn down. There is also great
activity in the outside camps, and
the Colt Brothers prospected all win
ter on their eight properties in the
Basin.
Of interest to the people of the
Willow River valley is the statement
of Mr. Colt to the effect that there
was more snow in the upper Willow
Creek territory than ever known
Whenever the chinook hits the deep
snow there should be abundance of
water to fill the big reservoirs of the
Willow River irrigation project.
Mr. Colt had not been in Vale for
two years, having on his last trip driv
en down from the Basin, as the Bro
gan line was not yet completed.
The progress of the county Beat dur
ing that time was pleasing to him.
The many new business buildings, the
are ! passenger and freight depots, the new
shool house, the natatorium, the ce
ment walks, the many new residences
all looked good to him. He was also
pleased to see the railroad construction
camps north of the depot, and to hear
of the railroad work west of town.
Everywhere he saw progress and a
busy town.

When in his system of rotation the
farmer is ready to plow up alfalfa
he has another inestimable contribu
lion to the land's fertility in the
stubble and roots. It is not recom
mended to plow under any consider
able growth as a green manure, as
the hay crop is too valuable. Its
market value would buy more fertil
izers than the same growth is worth
for humus. After a field has stood for
five or six years, the roots have added
largely to the humus content. Prof
W. P. Headden of Colorado
ed that the fertilizing value of the
stubble and 61 inches of roots plowed
under is about $20 per acre, while
the value of the stubble and entire
root system is not less than $35per
acre. From Colburn'a "The Book of
Alfalfa."

HOW TO MAKE
MONEY FROM
YOUR CHICKENS
Why many poultry houses fail to
meet the requirements for protection
to egg producers, and the main point
which should be observed in building
hen houses, are told by Prof. James
Dryden in one of his circular bullet
ins. "The purpose of housing fowls is
to increase productiveness," says
Prof. Dryden,." A little shelter
from the cold winds and storms will
add to the comfort of the fowls and
therefore to the egg yield, and the
reason is probably because the change
means a sudden demand for increased
fuel or food to keep up the heat of
the body, and the food that has been
going ltito the making of eggs will
be drawn upon for that purpose. It
