When nsked regarding his future in tenl.oiiH Mr. Mekcnnon answered: 'I expect to buy another farm in Union county in n short time and continu" the piyiduction of wheat and coin. I n'ni satisfied with the business nnd the country. I am just loafing around a few days to see how it feels to be 'andlcss, but this condition will not continue long.' Mr. McKennon is n graduate of Fanner Smith's corn school. Last year his HO-nrro corn 'ii ld was so good that even Mr. Smith was satisfied."

Tillamook dairymen have voted ?i!ii,000 for the year's advertising fund, reports E. I.. Westover, federal and O. A. C. extension specialist in dairying. Much of this nmount is to be used in Oregon newspaper ads. If anything can add to the popularity" of Tillamook .cheese it is the Oregon press, says the college press bulletins. Ronde river. It may be necessary to drill wells and install pumps to secure an adequate supply oi water, or to find otfbor aourws of supply than Heaver ercek. Whatever method is to be followwl to obtain such spple mental supply of wa'er, is' a matter for qualified engineers to pass upon. The average man on the street is not in a position to state that there is a supply in any particular place, and the criticism expressed is generally de structive and not constructive. It seems to me thai immediate steps jdiolild be taken for a thorough survey.) not only of the Beaver creek pipe' line and water supply, but also of other; available sources of water. Such a survey should be undertaken at once, not a year from now or two or three years from now, as we have had this same situation every summer during the past several years. If we are to avoid a similar situation next year, then it is necessary that something be done this year. The citizens of thin city pay for water and arc entitled to get it. , , . ' . . It is not a solution of the problem to say that the people should use lea:i water, or that they should not water their lawns or gardens, as a well-kept i lawn is a pride to the average home owner and the products of his garden is a help in lowering the high cost of living to every man who keeps a little home garden.' If this city was situat ed' in the midst of an arid desert and it was necessary to haul in all the water that was used, there might be some excuse tor stating that a smaller amount of water should be used. But situated in the heart of the Blue Moun tains entirely surrounded by high mountains covered with perpetual snow, with springs and streams by the thousands in every direction, there is no excuse for the City of La Grande being put under the necessity of pumping from the (Jrande Ronde river. The present supply of water coming partly from the Grande Ronde river has already caused an epidemic : of sickness in the city and while as yet it has not been serious, that is no reason to state that it might not be come serious. The pumping of the river water throuRh all of the chlori nation plants that could be piled up is not a solution to the question, for chlorination plants break down, as has Experienced silage men do not rush their crops into the silo whilo yet im mature, hut hundreds of livestock men will put up silage for the first time this year and frequently make that mistake, says E. L. Westover, federal and O. A. ('. field specialist. Corn, pen and vetch, and sunflowers, are best when the Rrain or seed has been formed and is passing into the dough stage. li To''' .
