home above tho Cove. ' There are
many interesting imngs going on
at the Duncan ranch thesu dayj,
since their house Is right In the

but there is nothing more exciting
to relate to Mrs. Duncan's friends,
(and they are legion,) that she has
finally succumbed to the hair bob
ber. . Mrs. Duncan threatened for
bo long that her friends were be
ginning to doubt. She ways It was
done like the Dutchman cut off

bad. Mrs. Duncan had beautiful
long hair und lilt first clip wus 27

Visiting Itclulircs
Mrs. Clarence Beun
und sou
ported G. It. Hyslop, chief in farm
crops, at tho college-.
. To meet the demand for niort
hardy types of clover, effort win
be made this summer, it was stat
ed, to locato sources of seed of
known merit where Oregon grow
ers may obtain seed which will
enable them to meet the eastern
demand. To assist In locating such
sources Professor Hyslop Intends
making personal investigation
through leading clover producing
areas of the middle west.
The pVesent critical condition
lias arisen, apparently, from the
fact that Oregon growing condi
tions are so favorable ' to clove
production that- importations of
foreign seed, unsuitable for the
east, have been planted success
fully horo and have naw perment
ed the general crop so that the
percentage of hardy American
type has "been reduced. Hence
when seed is shipped 'east the
yields aro reduced to tho extent
of thlfv mixture. :
A state seed council is to be or
ganized to supervise the rapid
change In- type of clover deemed
necessary to save this million and
a half dollar Industry
Start Chiswes
Haskell Bloom, who has been
swimming instructor at Kadtum
Springs, is spending a month at
the Covo swimming pool starting
his work there yesterday with the
day full of class and - individual
work. Mr. and -Mrs. IIoom, dur
ing their stay at Cove are living
in his mother, Mrs. Cora Bloom's
house. Tho month old babe, .which
had such" a time for. a whilo hs
coming along nicely now.,

To Tho Lake ' ,
Mr, and Mrs. J. It. Price and
daughter of Cump Yew Bow up
above. 'the power "plant near CGve
are spending this week at Wal
lowa Lake expecting to return

Iliko to Indian Trail .
Homo time ago, the Junior
group of t'ampflrc girls of Pleus
ant Grove, held a meeting at which
they elected tho follow ing offic
ers; president, Bernieco Johns;on;
vice president, ' Rcna Choulo; sec
retary, Marjorie Woodell; treas
urer, Juno KiizKcIl; scribe, Klva
f-ewis; song leader, Sylvia John
son. The other members of tho
group aro Virginia Brock, Law-
ana Myers, Melva Bull, Gall Bull,
Kdlth Grcfnor and Nellie End.
Thursday, the gliius started at 11
o'clock to go-on their hike to the
foot of Indian Trail. After a short
hike, up tho trail, lunch wus eat
en. Tho afternoon was spent play
ing gaiiici and picking huc.lc
berries. '
Celling the Berries
Huckleberry picking parties are
quite In vogue in certain parts of
the vulley these days.. although
tho berries aro not yet overly ripe.
Thi early prospect for lots of ber
ries for everyone has gone a-gllm
merin' some for while, on certain
hills, the berries hung on in great
abundance earlier in tho season, a
blight seems to have appeared,
and more than half tho greeu ber
ries have fallen off and somo of
those' that remain aro half white,
an evidence of tho blight. I-ast
year was such a bumper year for
A Profitable Acre
,; There is a limner (n tho vulley
whose dairy herd is tho. ira
widely known thing on his plat
He has, however, an orchard con
taining a little over one aero of
cherry trees. The picking was
done early finished tast week
and Mr. Karmer 'reports that the
acre-and a fraction, just netted
him $1000. Just one more argu
ment for somo of tho things H. H.
Weatherapoon, member; of .--the
stnto horticulture committee, . has
been pleading for this county toe
a long lime. One thing that makes
everyone sit pretty this summer is
that a big crop and a flno price
hit at the same time. Those who
know,, however," place tho cherry
crop at around Co per cent of a
full crop. .Royal -Annoa which. us-
"ually take tho lower price are
conunujjding half a cent more per
pound this year than the Rings.
Tho'clean up of the stock of Mar
aschlno cherries of lax season is
the, cause for tho exceptional local
demand this year, it is suid.

County Bee Men
In Meeting With
College Teacher
The visit of II. A. Scullen, o(
Corvallis, professor of entomology
and bee specialist of state i reputa
tion was the occasion for an im
portant meeting of be men of the
county, held last Saturday at the
home of Homer Cheney at Un
ion. There were representatives of
this lino present from both La
Grande and I'nlon and the mee
ting wus reported as having been
very important ami very benefic
ial. Mr. Scullen talked about the
diseases of bees, their manage
ment both in summer and winter.
There were many questions pre
sented by (hoso attending, and
tho answers lo these and tho dis
cussions which they elicited were
quite interesting. There is a move
ment on Toot, we understand, to
form an association, and to at
tempt to sponsor an educational
meeting next spring.
Perhaps the most important to
pic considered at the meeting wus
"American foul brood" a disease
which seems to be spreading with
rather alarming rapidity and
vrtileh seriously thron tones thu
buo Industry. The men wero taken
to the Cheney apiary and shown
bees affected with the disease.
Tho disease is ono which spreads
very rapidly, Mr. Scullen stated,
and hives become Infected very
easily.
- To one who thinks of the prob-
UUmi seriously, it wilt be -seen that
rapidly and . which, experts tell
us may put an end to the bee in
dustry. Is not afTecting that par
ticular line a Ion. The effect on tho
orchards of the valley would be
the most serious or all, for tho
bees are depended on for much ot
tho pollini.atlon und with the
wiping of them out, the situation
would be a serious one, here, It
Is claimed.
At tho close of tho meeting,
Mrs. Cheney served tho group
with delicious lemonade sweeten
ed with honey.
