The Observer looks upon Judge Henry's life as one well spent. It be lieves that his program was well ar ranged for he clung to the idea that work is the solution of all problems. He never was idle nnd even as his years advanced be was ever busy and constantly at something. . The county will miss this man.

A Banker Slater Oregon courfs and Ihe Oregon bar have claimed many Slaters and around Ihe two Is wrapped so much Slater tradition that' It Is hard to think of nny or thai pioneer family not actively following in Ihe fool. sleps of Blackstone. At Unloirr nev ertheless, there Is a Slater who got entirely out of the legal profession and went Inlo the financial woild. He is F. S. Slutor, related to the jur. slst and lawyers of that family In Oregon. The rasjilershlp of the Un ion National Dank rests upon his shoulders and as bank cashiers have troubles of their own these days, Mr. Slater naturally is face to face with Ihe problems of all banlrers to finance enterprise and keep the farmers, supplied with necessary funds and all that. The Union National Bank is al. most a hair.million dollar concern. showing total resources of $491,. 724,29 nt Ihe last call for conditions of national banks.

As time' goes on and the season ap pronches Its close, it is mote antl more apparent that the trouble is general.

Experiments by Utiios county farm- ters, noi.ao.iy, mat in w. k. l.eooetter.t and the Eastern Oregon Experimenti Station at Union, show that soil rus-j tomarily summer fallowed can be made to produce every year. It is brought about in this way: Fall wheat should be planted in the' spring. As soon as it is well up, -l should be pastured. It will maintain a vigorous growth without heading,' anil affords great pasture for either hogs or cattle preferably the latter, as the effects of the hoofs are not so severe. After the stock has been run on it all summer, the wheat will show fine strength for the next win ter and produce a record crop the following Spring. It can then be put to fall wheat in fall planting again nnd thus be made to produce either! wheat, meat or milk continuous! v. Also it has reduced the cost of culti vation. Mr. I.edbetter got full 41) bush els off his field this year and at the experiment station hogs are doing very well on the forage this season. The experiment when completed will also show how the grain pasture com pares with alfalfa, peas, and oats and peas. Similar hogs sre pasturing on equal-sized tracts and otherwise treat ed identically.
