It is 12 years since the hatch ery was completed ana practicauy no repair work has been done since then. It is Imperative that the work of re lloorlng be started soon as one half of the tanks are full of young fish and only one part can be floored at a time. Mr. Bonney hopes to have the work completed before the first assignment of Rainbow trout eggs ar rive.

C. Meek (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) The much warmer weather which has nre vailed over this section of the coun try during the post few days has tend ed to raise the hopes of residents of the comimtunlty, in regard to the probability of a break in solid win ter conditions soon. Warm, sunshine the latter part of the week caused considerable settling and melting of the snow. Numerous farmers In several parts oi wie community wno nave aug through the deep snow banks In in vestigation of winter wheat, state the soli contains no frost and wheat and gross have grown under the snow. In some Instances wheat which did not get up last fall, has come up under the snow and Is three and four Inches tall. This would Indicate that the condition of the crop Is the best It has been in a number of years and about the only thing which would have any chance of damaging tho stand would be the deep drifts in many of the fields laying too late in the spring and causing some smothering of the Grain.

Some of the roads in the hill sec tions which were broken through the aecp snow nave been breaking orf badly during tho past few days mak ing any kind of travel over them quite slow and hard work on teams. while the milder weather has re quired considerably less feed for live stock there has been an increasing demand lor nay. some small lots of nay have been offered at some of the farms in this community during the pose lew weexs at prices ranging around sis per ton. These small of ferings have been far less than tho demand and as a result It has been necessary to ship hay in from out side points. Some shipments were received at Enterprise as much as two weeks ago and during the past week a number of carloads have been unloaded here. E. F. Johnson of Lower Valley recently received a ship ment for use In feeding his bands of sheep at 'his farm In Lower Val ley and several other smaller farm ers or the community state that they are going to need more hay soon. Reports also Indicate that the call for feed grains has been much bet ter recently. Barley and wheat for local feeding needs1 have been selling in lots of a few tons each at about $20 per ton. A number of tho larger wncat growers are still holding a por tion of their wheat with the hopes of seeing some betterment in prices this spring. , , CHAS.

IN OUTLOOK FOR YEAR EXTENSION EXPERTS SAY DAIRIES MAY CULL HERDS With the national "milk pail" full and about to run ovor from steady increasing production, Oregon dairy men will find their best obance to weather the low price storm through reduction of costs, improved quality and development of the out-of-state market for surplus cows. This is the opinion expressed by P, M. Brandt, head of fhe Oregon State college dairy department, and R. W. Morse, extension specialist, In commenting on the dairy section of the annual agricultural outlook re port released today by the extension service. Production costs may best be low ered through Increased production for each cow which In turns means rigid culling of low producers and diseased animals use of good sires, increase in eood forage production such as alfalfa, and development of pasture, the cheapest source of nu trients, say the specialists. unusual opportunity is seen in tne potential market for surplus dairy stock in California, where a caux paign to eliminate tuberculosis Is Just getting under way, as this cam- and on the achievement accomplish ed in a report submitted to the state adviser.
