Blowing one's own hom was a hallmark of the bore even
before the invention of the saxaphone..
And once more it is the glorious ambition of about 50,
000 American youth, eager for a college education, to take
first honors in football. Yet they are not vastly different
from the rest of us. If wo had no pleasures in life to an
ticipate and strive for, the woik-a-day world would offer
very little incentive for hard labor.
PUT A LABEL ON IT.
A member of the City Planning Commission disagrees
with the suggestion of The Observer that arches at the
city's highway entrances, if they be built in place of the
present structure near the station, bear some legend tell
ing visitors and tourists a few facts about La Grande and
the Grande Ronde valley, lie states that people have iu.
time nor inclination to stop and read such mutter ant
seems of the opinion that a decorative entrance of pillars
would be most suitable.' ' ' '
It is not our desire to sec an entrance or arch con
stfucted on which would be placarded the past, present am.
future-history "of .t.hitt..pititHnhii1i.--.rri.-,.iHi..; 'mild ir
quire more ppace than an entrance structure would pcrmil
jfind more-, time and patience than the average sign painte
might , possess. But certainly, such a "thing : deserves n
label When a visitor from Oshkosh drives through thi
valley and through un impressive entrance, we are of the
(ipinion that he would appreciate knowing whether he is
entering a cemetery, a state institution, or the leading city
of Eastern Oregon.
. A name, population figures, two or three chief indus
tries, and a terse statement of the wonders of this and tlu
Wallowa valleys would provide some authoritative inform.
tion he would appreciate. More than that, it would labf
one city in Eastern Oregon in a lasting manner. It won1,
provide,' if carefully and briefly done, a bit of forceful y
unobtrusive advertising. And we believe both in labeli
products and advertised products. We believe in them b
cause they pay both groups concerned. Of couirn, if th
aesthetic taste of some of our citizens would be irrcparahl;.
offended by such a practical idea as this, then ve won't
suggest a decorative entrance but with an immediatel;
adjacent hoard carrying the legend of our city. Let beaut
lie served. Ah;o let good business lie served. And goof'
business is that which is pleasing and unobjectionable ti
both sides of a possible transaction.

Dried prunes should have 18 to
20 per cent moisture from the
new O .A- C type of recirculation
dr.r. Krult dried in this way
feels more moist to the touch thun
when dried the old way. Keeping
ex-irt time on a "bach" that is just
rirrht will afford a reliable lndox
cm time of drying.
Bees, Mice humans, dislikes win
ter moving. If not moved in early
fall then dlay the process until
next March, at leant, says H. A.
Scullen, bee specialist at O. A. C
If moved more than two mHm the
bet-s should be aroused and wv
clustert'd by pounding on the hive
and smoking, to cnuble them to
tuko new observation. Otherwise
many may return to the former
location. Grass or weeds placed
over the entrance helps.
Prunes left In Oregon orchards
and now covered with brown rot
should be hogged off In the fall
or plowed under early in March,
says H. P. Barss, plant patholo
gist at the experiment station.
Plowing should be followed with
frequent cultivations through vhc
blossoming period . This disturbs
and breaks off the cup stugo and
prevents production of spores. The
prune m unites formed this rail will
not produce spores till the sjnn
of 19 6. Early plowing should bo
practiced in all orchards where
brown rot was present a year ago.
The pour leaf blister mite has
developed as a serious pest, on ap
ples in Oregon during the last five
years. It alfects both the foliage
and fruit. The Infestation on the
foliage Is easily observed because
of the peculiar thickened bitter
like spots It causes. The spots are
usually of a reddish or brown col
or. A careful sprayer will have
little trouble In controlling the
blister mite on pears with the dor
mant strength or lime sulfur, JJ
luo, after the leaves drop.
