RECTTERATE WORN-OVT FARMS The United States forest service has a plan for the utilization of the worn out farms of the country scheme to mnke them a paying proposition. The Idea Is simply to plant trees. An Ohio farmer suggested the scheme. II owns a homestead where farming has been a losing proposition. He has therefore decided to plant the entire tract with trees. Norway spruce has been selected as the tree, and as soon as they are lage enough they will be old for Christina trees and, hy the way, Christmas trees bring first-clans prices. One of the fundamental principles of forest economics, say tho ejtpcrta, is that anil which Is not good enough to make the growing profitable, should D devoted to the production of wood crop Instead of cereal crops. This doe not mean that trees grow better on poor loll than on fertile soil. Rut, in proportion to the money Invented, better returns are secured from t,roes planted on the 1 valuable land, The Ohio farmer mentioned above expects to plant chestnut In the blank paces left after removal of the first crop of Christmas frees. ' About the time- when the last spruce la cut. It Is predicted that the chestnut will be ready for the ax. In addition, catal pa, black, locust, elm,, btix-eldor nd sycamore will hr planted. All of the trees mentioned are excellent for the purpose; growing well on lees fertile land, and furnishing a comparatively ' quick return on tli money Invented. .. WANTS TO "DIVVY" l'P. rmatllla county wants the branch asylum and, editorially, the Tcndleton East Orcgotilun deals with the i".s tion In this way; The board of "regents of the slrue experiment farm at I'nlon Is .to be congratulated f.ir Its pecslstcnt ef torts to make thnt property perfect, for the purpose f..r which It Is owned, by the state, lo-wlt; an rxperlinriitul sta tion, The f irm Is nflinlriMy situated fori thut purpose und as such 'will return' many benefits t- the f.irnw r of the! fin-rounding counties.' -Owl.ig to rieh sell, nbimd-inee ; f moUturn and hUli stnt.. of cultlvu. j lln under scientific methods, the fui ni , Is able to produce every imp ailapted I to the north t.-tnprrat.t l"iio and inn! be iiia.Iu a dream of benuly and ulHI-1 ty.

The wheat market tarta off much better this season thau. It ,dld last. fllxty-c!((ht cent was the j)rlce paid for forty-fold last year and 72 cents' h nrlc that .dealer will contract the present crop now.,: There 1 a re duction In the price of grain sacks of about ? rents, which. In connection with the advance In the price of grain will go g long way In offsetting the shortage In some fields. "Many fields will be fully up to the average, while some of the spring grain will fall short, but thoe who generally keep a close watch on the business end of things are of the opinion that there will be a much wheat money a usual, i see . Prohibition doesn't absolutely pro hibit, of course, but Just the same any body can see that formerly we had 10 times a many drunk and booxy men a now, Pendleton Tribune, e SPECIMEN OF LAW EVASION. The people of Union county have willed that their county be dry. The lliiuor element have willed otherwise. In so far as they can prevent the will of the people they will do so. There I n way In which Jhe law can be kept, but the spirit and the Intent of It be broken at the same time and by the same act. It is now unlawful .to sell Intoxicating liquor, wlthln.the tor-' rltory abovo mentioned. But, liquor! can be bought on tbe outside and shipped Into this dry region Just as It! was bought and shipped Into Wallowa county for the past two . years. To that end the liquor element are busy today. The undersigned (as well as hundreds of others In Union county, have doubtless by this time) has had circular from a well known whisky house In an adjoining county offer ing to sell and to ship to his address any quantity of any sort of drink ho wishes. This la to be In plain, un marked package so a no( to Indicate, the content. " -' . Here we. need- the LlttleflHd (or other) bill, whose purpose was to pre vent the shipping of wt good Into dry territory. Ppenker Cannon pre vented the bill to come to It passage, alleging It to be unconstitutional. For this resson we are now, as are all other dry communities,' at the mercy of the merciless. Thus Is seen the unpatriotic character of the craft. A patriot Is a man who loves his whole country and respects the will of the people !n on part of it as well as the other. ' J. t. Gil.
