On the Toll flute Road
Union and Wallowa counties are
tremendously Interested in the im
provement to be made on ho toll gate
road which will cut off considerable
mileage between this locality and the
Walla Walla country. Recent visitors
over the road stopping at Wallowa
gave a report on conditions as fol
lows: Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Poole enjoyed
tho three-day holiday by exploring
the proposed toll gate road from Elgin
to Milton which shortens the distance
between this city and Walla Walla
by nearly a hundred miles. They
found tho work progressing and crews
working nearly to the top of the
mountain, but detours were many
and rough and travel was slow. It
will be a bcautirul road when com
pleted and reaches a numbor of
charming resorts and picnic grounds
which will then be available for the
people of Pendleton, Walla Walla and
surrounding towns. It will material
ly shorten the distance between Wal
lowtv county and Pendleton. Mr.
Poole estimates the saving at some
thing like 80 miles.

her guests during the week of the
Epworth League Institute.
Stock Shipments
From Haines come reports of recent
satisfactory lamb shipments as fol
lows: Following the example, and with
the assistance, of Union county farmer-sheepmen,
nine farmers of Haines
and adjacent districts Tuesday loaded
a carload of selected fine fat lambs
which were pooled cooperatively for
shipment and sale to eastern markets.
The car from here was but one of a
number of others which were sent
from Union and Wallowa counties. Of
these one was loaded at North Pow
der and one at Imbler, In Union coun
ty, .and four carloads from Wallowa
county.
This is the first pool shipment made
by local farmers, and resulted when
Countv Aeent Avery of Union countv
consulted Roger Morse, Baker county
agent, last week to find out if enough
lambs could be secured here to fill
out one of the carloads from Union
county. Instead of half a carload, It
was found that a full carload could
be secured and this was done and the
balance of the Union county half car 1
was filled at North Powder.
In order that the lambs would all
be uniformly good, and In condition
for market, the several flocks were
inspected at the farms by T. B. John
son, manager of the Union county
lamb pool and Robert French irom
Union county. They, with Mr. Avery
and Mr. Morse, were on hand Tues
day morning for the weighing and
loading of the lambs.
It is contended for the cooperative
shipping pool that while many owners
of small flocks never have enough
to make up a shipment, and even fair
size sheep raisers seldom have enough
in prime condition at one time, a
number shipping together can easily
make. up a car and got full Bhlpplng
and selling advantages. The pool sends
one man with the entire shipment.
Has Brown Swiss '
Clair Crossen living near La Grande
on the sidehill road is gradually
building up a dairy herd of registered
Brown Swiss cattle and he has now
a total of about 16 head of the regis
tered animals. This breed, Mr. Cros
sen thinks, Is particularly adapted to
the rigors of this climate are more
able to stand the severe winter weath
er prevalent here than pome -of the
other breeds. He is also partial to
the Swiss cattle because If they do
not succeed as dairy animals they are

ter. Her mother, who has been suf
fering considerably from rheumatism,
io reported as being much better.
Have Fine Social
The members of the Rebekah lodge
of the Summerville neighborhood
chose exactly the right kind of a
night for their lawn social to serve
home made Ice cream. It was last
Saturday night when nothing tickled
the palate better than the things tl?ey
served. There was a splendid crowd,
the aprons in the bazaar booth sold
well and the women stand to clear
around 35. A splendid program was
given also. The affair kas given on
the lawn In front of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Combs and when we come to think
about it, we had better not Btate def
initely that it was the Rebekah lodge
which sponsored the affair, It might
have been the Rebekah social club.
They are two different organizations,
but they havo an equal amount of
pep.

Third Year's

Ralph Robinson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Robinson of the sidehill
road near La Grande has been chosen
by the Union County Dairy Herd Im

. tester for the new year's work which ,
started on the first of this present

The work of this organization -Ib
being conducted on something of a

operate on . a part time schedule.
Twenty-three days testing will be
done by Mr. Robinson in place of 26
as heretofore. Of this, 19& days have
already been signed up and others
who are interested will be signing
within the course of a few weeks. .
Those who have been affitlatod with
this cow testing association have been
quite enthuslastlo over the Improve

this branch of the farming Industry
of this valley. Higher 'production at
a minimum of cost has been the goal
and one of the factors In attaining
this goal has been the elimination
from dairy herds of cows which have
proved to be unprofitable as shown
by the two years of testing.
The Union County Dairy Herd Im
provement association was organized
about two years ago through the In
strumentality of county agriculturist
Harry G. Avery, assisted by a number
of dairymen of tho valley. Hans Bai

JULY FIRST
CROP REPORT
J From the United States department
of agriculture cooperating with the
j extension service of the Oregon state
i college comes the following crop re
' port for Oregon and the United
I States.
With tho July production forecasts
oh Oregon averaging considerably
above the five year average, the cur
rent crop report of the Oregon crop
reporting servlco is on tho whole
i very favorable one. Some areas in
the state havo been hit by damaging
hot weather, other sections have suf
fered from insect and disease dam
age as well as damage by weather
factors, but for the state as a whole
tho situation Is above, average on
July first.
In the case of field crops corn,
I rye
and hops are the only ones
showing below average production.
Corn production is 16,000 bushels be
low average, and rye is 6000 bushels
below average.. Oregon hops are
much below average due chiefly to
downy mildew and the present fore
cast is very little over one-half of last
year's production. Potato produc
tion Is considerably above the 1029
production from the same acreage.
Tho big drop from the- average Is
due chiefly to a decreased acreage
the present forecasted yield of 106
comparing with the average of 108
bushels.
Production forecasts of all other
Oregon crops are abovo average al
though in the case of winter whoat
and some others the Increase Is duo
to larger aoreago rather than to bet
ter than average yields. .Winter
wheat condition Is much below aver
ago and the yield forecast of 20 bush
els compares with 24 bushels the av
erage of the past five years but the
production forecast of 16.026.000
bushels compares to 10.712.000 bush
els last year and the average of 16,
150,000 bushels.
In the case of spring wheat the
Oregon crop Is above average condi
tion, the vield being estimated at
Ufa -bushels compared to the average 1
of 17 bushels. Tho acreage estimato I
of 211,000 Is the largest since 1925.
The Increased -acreage of spring
wheat Is sufficient to offset tho do- I

1876.. A position on the San juan 1
Prospector occupied him until the
fnll of the next vear. Returning to '
Illinois for a visit, he was back In
Colorado early In 1878. Now 22 years
old, he stepped temporarily out of
journalism to become clerk at tho
Hot Springs hotel at Wagon Wheel

Ho worked there until April 1, 1884, J
at which time he bought the Pros- i

crops and apples and pears in par
tlcular are very good. The total pro- !
duct Ion of Oregon apples Is estimated
at 0.070.000 bushels and the condi
tion reported is ten points higher
than the average for the past ton
years. -The commercial crop is esti
mated nt 1.G03.000 barrels compared
to 750.000 barrels last year and 1,
444.000 barrels the average of the
past five years. Tho fruit is sizing
well and the unusual freedom from
worm and Insect injury and below
averago damage from weather fac
tors have all contributed to an ex
cellent condition report.
The pear crop although slumping
a little from the estimated produc
tion of a month ago Is still 65 per
cent greater than the five year aver
age. Prospects ore not as favorable
on they were a month ago j -":eily
to weather conditions, some frost In
Jury is apparent and considerable of
tho iruit is hail peeked. June drop
although heavy on some varieties and
in some localities was lighter gen-
t crally than was expected.
