Friends of Ratie Hudson of near
Joseph who moved not long, since
from his farm between Aliccl and
Imbler. will bo glad to know that
one of the cows of his herd, belong

the state during the month of May
in production. Mr. Hudson has In
his herd a Guernsey which produced
949 pounds of milk and 95.68 pounds
of butterfat. According to reports,
Tillamook led all the other counties
belonging to the state association.
In that vicinity 116 herds are on

average production of 43.13 pounds of
biftterfat. They had tho high herd

Come Out On Top
With all the smoke blown away
from the rocqnt Eastern Oregon ltve-
stock show, which means;- the bills
all in and met In full, the associa
tion finds that it not only does not
stand in r?d, as was at first feared,
but that there Is a small sum to be
gin on for the 23rd show next year.
There was a good show this year,
with unusually large entries, a fine
program on the arena, unexcelled
weather, yet the crowds were not as
large as had been hoped for. With
everything else ' equal the crowds
should have brought in gate rocoipts
sufficient to sot the association in a
place to make some improvements
on tho grounds, equipment, etc., of
p. more permanent character, perhaps.
However. It is quite a credit to tho
good management of those at the
head that the show was a financial
success. V In speaking of tho enter
prise this year, secretary Tony Smith
makes this statement "While the
Eastern Oregon Livestock show asso
ciation realizes the importance of im
provement In livestock, there is
another 'crop that is raised in
this Eastern Oregon empire that
is of more importance, for with
out It all our efforts would be In
vain. This 'crop' consists of the boys
and girls of the rurel sections, who
arc interested in the stock Industry.
Our association pays special atten
tion to the exhibits of the girls and
boys of the 4-H clubs and the Future
Farmers of America. These young
people have special classes for their
exhibits at the show, and have also
competed successfully with the older
breeders In the open classes. The
leaders of these clubs are entitled to
much credit for the success of the
show.
"Now Is the time to start working
for the 1031 show. Officers, club
members, breeders, the newspapers
and all others Interested In the up
building of our great livestO(k in
dustry should begin right now. and
the success of next year's show will
bo assured. Remember our motto,
tho betterment of tho livestock In
dustry.' As tho industry improves
and prospers, our various communi
ties will prosper In like manner."

White Weed Found
Over in our ne:
ighborlng county.
Wallowa, "white top" a pestiferous
weed has been found in certain locali
ties. County agent N. C. Donaldson
has recently Issued a bulletin con
cerning this perennial weed which he
likens to Canadian thistle but states
that it is even harder to kill than is
the thistle. The weed has" been found
Inside tho city limits of Enterprise.
This is said of it Tho weed which is
found in Idaho and parts of eastern
Oregon, sometimes resembles devil
weed except that tne blossoms are
whiter and it does not have tho of
fensive odor that the devil weed does.
"It has apparently been brought Into
the country from seed from other
sections, and the farmers should be
me t tor nr the Vue-
tin. "It is in blossom at the present
time and Is rather noticeable because
of the thick clusters of small white
blossoms. Wherever noticed It should
be pulled and prevented from going
to seed. Each plant produces a large
number of seeds and it spreads very
rapidly. If any patches are found
they should not be cultivated as the
weed also spreads by tho roots."
Huckleberries
If we had not eaten some fresh
with sugar and cream yesterday for
lunch we would have doubted this
story ourselves, but ripe huckleberries ,
are being picked and some who were
picking for commercial purposes were
peddling them about town yesterday.
They were of very good size and wcro
real huckleberries for taste.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sutton and little

ti i iips
At the beginning of each summer

on their mail boxes. That annual
note has Just come. "There are so
many attractive places in the val-

drive out of an evening it adds so
much to know whose home it is."

"Caterpillar" Tractors like to plow when it
does the most good . . . early in the summer, on
hard ground and in hot w eather ...
Maybe the owner pulls a combine all day and
uses the same "Caterpillar" to plow all night . . .
thus does he turn "Caterpillar" power into extra
profit . . . extra traction and extra long life . . .
these increase the farm income!
