(Special) The old-time, 'custom of- trade has again come into use to replace money with many people of this section. With a general scarcity of ready cash many of the farmers hero are, trading farm produots In return for labor. In thin manner a considerable number Of men are finding employment where It would be Impossible for many to hire. Some of the larger haymen are paying for their haying help with hay' and the some, transaction is likely to be much in use. with the grain harvest. Wallowa county hogs again topped the Portland market during the past week when a carload-sent out from Evans., .sola In Portland Monday at S6.15 per hundred. Two carloads of lambs were loaded out from that v point early. In the week for shipment to. Denver. The lambs were selected from many of the small farm flocks are weighed seventy-five pounds and upward. Other shipments of lambs will follow as rapidly as one or two car loads can be gathered. Reports from many parts, of the county atate that a great deal of damage to grain crops has been done by ground squirrels during the past two or three weeks. Farmers were unable to secure sufficient poison a part of the time to prevent the squir rels getting a good start In the fields and during the dry weather many have also hod poor luck In getting them to take to the poison very gooo of the week. Mr. Harmon reports crops rather light In that part of the county, tills season and says the squirrels have done a large amount of damage In many of the grnln fields there during the paBt twp, weeks. H. E. Waddell, manager of the Sil ver Black Fox farm here, reports that about 40 fine pups have been raised this season. Last fall at part of the breeding stock was disposed of. How ever, with the new Increase, practic ally all pens are filled agalp. There Is said to tie a ready demond for this class of furs, but like every other commodity the prices arc consider ably lower than those of n few years ago, L. W. Minor, who has been busy cutting grass, hay at his large farm in the hills, reports that he has be ween 150 and 200. tons cut at this time ond will begin stacking some time, during the coming week. Hyde and Moses Fire Blasts At Gov. Roosevelt WASHINGTON, July 6 (ff Gover not Roosevelt's plan for economic im provement through reforestation was described In a statement by Secretary Hyde as "utterly visionary and chim erical." Referring to the Democratic presi dential 'nominee's speech Saturday in which he promised 'a new deal" with employment of "a million men to re forest abandoned farms and cut over lands" the agriculture secretary said "this grand project Is worthy of the 'economic foresight' of the governor."

However, with the wind, shifting to the north west It terminated into a real dust storm which lasted the greater port of the day. Oscar Maxwell finished plowing and harrowing a tract of some 250 aores of summerfallow at the U. 6. Couch farm In the Leap section the latter part of the week. He was also busy digging and piping out a spring for stock water there the last of the week. Miss Lois Couch, of Leap, spent a few days visiting friends in town the latter part of the week. A crew of about 20 men from the Leap and Parsnip creek communities werfc busy Friday preparing the grounds and building a dance plat form at the top of the Whiskey creek hlil where a 4th of July picnic was held. A committee oh programs has also been busy recently preparing the program. A baseball game and foot races provided a part of the entertainment of the day. H. N. Ashby. monager of the Bow-man-Hlcks Lumber Co., was a busi ness visitor In this community dur ing the past week. B. E. Heskett and T. J. Dryden and wife, of Freewater, Ore., were in this community the latter part of the week, driving over to attend the fun eral of Hiram N.

Hyde said the cost on o national basis east of the Mississippi river would be around $2,000,000,000 and the men employed would equal, on the basis of New York's program, 27,- 900 permanent employes. Senator Moses (R., N. H.), said In a statement that July 4, 1032, marked Franklin D. Roosevelt's "surrender to Tammany Hall." "The Fourth of July, 1770. was the day when the Unlteed States declared its independence from British dom ination." said Moses." "The Fourth of July, 1932. was the day when Franklin D. Roosevelt made known his surrender to, Tammany Hall. "His telegram to the Wigwam can be interpreted. In no other sense though It has Its ludicrous features as well. Governor Roosevelt surely must have had his tongue In his cheek when he appealed to Tammany Hall to stand firm against 'interests of personal greed.' Shades of Samuel Seabury. "This seems to me to be an In auspicious beginning for Gov. Roose velt's 'new deal' unless he Is dealing from the bottom of the pack." - THIS CURIOUS WORLD - 3 AAS.
