At Mother's Home
. Mrs. Burnettle Wilson, prominent
ore hard 1st of near Imbler, had as her

the mother must have enjoyed It I
Wed
According to a local In the Corvallls
paper the first of the week. Miss Alice
Boylen and Norman Kennedy, both
of Pilot Rock, had secured a license
to wed in the Western Oregon town,
and were married there, the paper
stated although no particulars of the
happy event were recorded. Both Mr,
Kennedy and his bride are well known
in this valley. Ncrman has visited
here often, and also has a number of
frat brothers and other friends here
made when he was a student at the
Oregon State college, from which he
was graduated a year ago. Mrs. Ken
nedy was a member of the first grad
uating class of the Eastern Oregon
Normal school, and during her resi
dence here in addition to being very
popular in the student body she took
an active port in local church work.
We do not know where the newlyweds
are to reside, only that last spring
they were tentatively planning to
come to La Grande.

The Cherry Situation
Is certainly not the most encourag
ing situation among valley fruitgrow
ers at the present time. With an
offer made to Cove men of iy4 cents
for Royal Annes, and a cost of
cents for picking alone, it would look
as though the proposition would be a
losing one. Fortunately the Annes ore
the smallest of the cherry crops, and
the crop this year Is not a bumper
crop. , The grower3 had earlier fig
ured on three cents, it is stated, and
at that the crop could not be made
to pay. Our Union correspondent in
speaking of a meeting held there
Saturday evening says, "The prices
orfered Cove growers was quoted at
1 cents a pound and no sale at all
for the Union crop is In sight. The
cherries are ripening fast and the
quality Is unusually good, though
not as heavy as other years. Unless
the market improves, the crop will
likely not be harvested ut all."

iting at the home of his daughter,

Harvest
Full Blast
In Wallowa
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Con
tinued dry weather during the past
several weeks has become quite in
lavorable for much of the crops of
this community. Drying winds have
taken much of the moisture from
tlie soil and many of the crops on ary
land are greatly in need of rain at
this time. While the bulk of the
summer fallow plowing of this com
munity was finished some tan duys
or two weeks, a- few of the farmers
have not finis lied yet. In a few In
stances the soil has become so hard
and dry that attempts at plowing
have been stopped and unless more
rain comes soon some of the farmers
state that they will let the balance
of the unplowed land lay till full
before finishing plowing.
Winter Crops LItjht
Winter wheat crops In all porta of
the community appear quite light for
this time of the year. Reports fro
many of the farmers Indicate that a
poor stand Is the case in practically
all fields and that the expected yield
is about 00 per cent that of a normal
yield.
Irrigated Wheat Flue
Some exceptionally fine spring grain
Is seen on much of the Irrigated land
in the valley section. The spring
sown grain on dry land in the hills
Is also looking quits good yet. How
ever, with much of It being seeded
quite late in the spring It 1b still
small yet and with a lack of mois
ture during the past week or two is
beginning to show signs of burning.
Should the remainder of the growing
season remain dry it is likely to re
sult in a poor straw growth ond light
yields at harvest time.
Haying Is On jim... ,
Haying operations are now in full
swing at a number of farms In the
valley. Several of the farmers hav
ing alfalfa crops started cutting as
early aa the 20th of June and dur
ing the past week many others have
been cutting their hay, getting It Into
the shock and expect to start stack
ing soon after July 4th, C. A. Hunt
er has been busy during tho paat
week cutting alfalfa at his farm just
e'ast of town and during ihe last of
the. week had a crew of several men
busy with slips hauling and slacking.
t Alfalfa Good
The greater part of the alfalfa has
made a very good growth despite the
cold backward weather conditions and
from present appearances of the fields
which have been cut and shocked,
the first crop will average about a
normal cutting.
With on abundance of snow in the
high mountains Irrigation water has
been plentiful at all places and farm
ers have been making good use of
the water in soaking their fields fre
quently. Water is expected to be
plentiful for late summer irrigation,
as but few of the streams have shown
signs of running down any to speak
of yet.

Butter days will bring better days.
This la the opinion of local restau
rant and hotel managers who are co
operating in the state wide movement
to increase tho use of all dairy prod
ucts during the present period of
high production and reduced prlceB.
Cafe- and restaurant managers nil
over Oregon have consented to feature-
dairy products on their menus
and to use more butter on their ta
bles and In cooking and baking. This
plan has been prompted by two main
reasons; first, because butter Is the
most appetizing and satisfactory fla
voring Ingredient for all foods, be
sides being an economical sourcet of
energy, and second, because the're
turns from dairy products are the
principal Bource of Income for over
50,000 Oregon farmers and furnish a
day-to-day payroll for many Oregon
cities. y
Some ot the local reastaurants have
agreed to "put the cream pitcher back

Tho plan has received the endorse

better nutrition and better health
among the general public. Business
men and banking Interests are back
ing the plan because of their rellza
tlon of the importance of the dairy
industry to all lines of business in
the state. In some counties, where
lumbering has been the principal
payroll of Industry, dairying has
taken Its place and the day-to-day In

ing the wheels of business turning.

Future Farmer Activities)
Instruction
For Fighting
Poisonous Weeds
(By Dr. W. H. Lytic, Chief of the
Division of Animal Industry)
, Spring is the time that losses may
be looked for from plant poisoning.
Ordinarily domestic animals that have
been inhabiting a range- are, through
Jhatinct or taste, warned against eat
ing of poisonous plants, at least In
amounts that will prove poisonous.
It Is the trailing animal or one
that Is being shipped . and unloaded
for grazing that most often falls vic
tim to plant poisoning. This is doubt
less due to the famished condition of
the animal, which In its effort to get
forage quickly grabs a plant with
bright flowers. One should let trail
ing animals drift through a poison
district rather than to hurry them,
tor If excited, the trailing stock will
greedily graze on the poisonous for
age, and being great imitators, when
one starts to eat certain flowci cov
ered plants others will do likewise.
Famished animals should first be al
lowed to till on hay or poisonous
plant free pastures.
Larkspur poisoning of cattle and
death cam as poisoning qf sheep, wild
parsnip or Oregon water hemlock and
choke or wild cherry and black cherry
poisoning of both cattle- and uheep
are the poisonings that will be fre
quently met. Larkspur le not poison
ous to sheep but in cattle upwards of
ninety per cent of all poisonous plant
losses are said to be due to larkspur.
There , are some eight species here In
the northwest but for practical pur
poses they may be divided into the
low and tall- varieties. The plant lui3
a geranluin-llke leaf and there Is a
characteristic spur-like flower, which
varies from a light blue color In the
tall plant to a dark purple In the
dwarf variety. The delphinium or
domestically raised ornamental flow
er is much like the tall wild variety
and It Is equally poisonous, The
plant Is not generally poisonous when
it drys up or seeds. Symptoms are
running aiid falling down, excitement
and weakness. It kills by producing
a respiratory muscular paralysis. Ani
mals suffocate because the muscles
that draw air Into tho lungs arc
weakened. Treatment resolves itself
into facilitating respiration. When an
animal falls from larkspur poisoning
its head la often pointed down hill,
causing the abdominal organs to
press against tho diaphragm and en
croach upon the expanding capacity
of tho chest cavity. Also if there Is
bloat tiie same condition exists. By
turning the animal headed up hill
and tapping or puncturing tho ru
men or first stomach If bloat la pres
ent, relief may be afforded. Hypo
dermic stimulation of the respiratory
muscles and elimination of tho poi
son may be produced by administer-,
ing the following remedy: 1
Physostigmino salicylate, 1 grain;
Pilocarpine hydrochloride, 2 grains:
Strychnine sulphate, grain; Atropln,
'4 grain. .
This is for a six hundred pound
animal. For n large steer or largo cow
give half again as much. Dlssolvo
these tablets In two teaspoonfuls of,
water. Draw Into a clean syringe and
Inject Under the skin of the shoulder.
Strong coffee given as a drench, If the
animal can swallow Is a good house
hold remedy.
Death comas produces vomiting.
Sheep are principally poisoned. The
plant grows on sago brush, sparse
rock soil region, four thousand feet
elevation, or on mountain meadows.
In horses it Is sometimes called lobelia
poisoning. The plant has leaves like
an onion lop but hot hollow, and has
a yellow cone sltnpcd flower, onion
like bulb which Indians have used for
purposes of suicide. The tops are
poisonous even when cured in hay.
Sheep when range Is sparse, frequent
ly are poisoned in great numbers,
They are moro susceptible when the
stomach Is empty; they can tolerate
a considerable amount of tho tops of
the plant if the stomach is partly
full. Treatment Is not satisfactory
for sheep. Horses given a handful of
salt ond intestinal sedatives will gen
erally recover from colicky symptoms.
Oregon water hemlock or wild par
snip poisoning losses result largely
because of the roots or tubers are
eaten In the spring when succulenco
la Bcarce. The plant grows along Ir
rigation ditches and has a large whlto
flat umbrella-llko group of flowers.
No satisfactory treatment other than
emetics and purgatives to eliminate
the pbisonous materia before absorp
tion. Tho tubers will occasionally
not produco poisoning when In the
rumen, but when regurgitated and re-
chewed tho Ingest goca to the fourth
stomach and the polBons absorbed.
Cattle arc principally poisoned. The
Juice from tho tubers will be absorbed
through the skin of loborcrs pulling
the plant and occasionally sicken
them. Symptoms are frothing at tho
mouth and violent convulsions.
Apomorphiu hydrochloride glvon
hypodermlco'.ly to Induce vomiting
might help, but animals generally die.
Wild cherry and choke cherry leaves
and bloftaomn are poisonous when
wilted, frosted or retarded In growth
by drought. Death rcsultB from hy
drocyanic acid which forms In the
plant when In damaged condition.
Symptoms of the poisoning come on
suddenly excitement, then stupor,
colic convulsions, ond difficult breath
ing. Treatment is not satisfactory
but would be the same an for lark
spur poisoning.
Many of them plants can be dug
up and tho range freed from them In
this manner.

WllXUM OTIS SHERWOOD
Iowa has furnished many enter
prising cltlens to the Orande Rondo
valley. It was In that state at Cedar
Rapids, April 17, 1878 that William
Otis Sherwood was born.
When he was a ohlld of two years,
the parents, Thomas Franklin, son
of Col. Thomas Sherwood who won
honors in a New York regiment dur
ing the Civil war, and Kate (Allvn)
Sherwood, left Iowa and came to
Orande Ronde valley. In the early
spring of 1880, the long Journey to
Oregon woo begun. They went to
San Francisco, Cal. by train, from
there to Umatilla, Ore, by boat and
then the rest of the way by stage.
The family arrived at their destina
tion in March and located on the
Sandrldge whero the father worked
for Qreen Arnold as sheep herder.
Forty-six yeara ago he bought a form
southeast from La Orande, which Is
still owned by his heirs, and went
Into tho Bheep business for himself.
He continued that for many years,
then he Bold out and ventured into
cattle raising.
William grew up on his father's
farm and received his education by
attending grade, high school and
Prof. Carper's college, all In La
Orande. For 26 years he has occupied
the place where he now lives. He
leased It In 1007 and In 1010 he
bought it. The farm, known as the
old Wallace place, Is situated on the
foot hill rood southeast from La
Orande and Is well adapted to dairy
ing, the posture hind running bacl$
Into the hills and the bottom land
producing luxuriant alfalfa. , About
20 cows are milked at the farm and
sweet cream la delivered dally to a
creamery In La Orande. Four yeara
ago the old house, which had been
built on the property !h the ptoneer
days, was torn down and a new one,
comfortable and convenient, was er
ected tn Its place.
Mr. Sherwood has an Interesting
Hobby, it Is the cultivation of mny
varieties of beautiful flowers. The
home and the adjacent flower gar
dens are located on the side hill,
making a beautiful setting for the
display of crocuB, tulips, hyacinths
and other spring blooms, as well as
the later kinds, Including all varie
ties from tho modest pansy to the
massive docoratlve dahlia, whioh are
produced year after year. Many pedi
greed plants and masses or marvelous
areatlons are found In hla plots, es
pecially tho mldseason and late
blooming varieties.
On June 11, 1005 occurred the mar
riage of Mr. Sherwood and Miss Bthel,
daughter of William and Lucy (Fow-
jOjlj Graham, plonoers of Union coun
ty. Tnov are the uarents or two ami
dreh, Cecil Hugh who won renown in
,tho football world while attending
college at Oregon State; Thomas Ver
non, married, and living In La Orande
and tho father of one child.

Oregon Herd
Makes Fine
Average In Test
The registered Hotetcln herd owned
by Mt. Angel college stock farm at
Mt. Angel, Ore., has completed Its
first year In tho herd Improvement
registry test and according to the
Holateln Frleslan Association of Am
erica, the high average yield of 11,206
pounds of milk and 352.4 pounds of
fat was made for 34 cows. Thirteen
cows In tho herd were young, making
their records as two, three and four
year olds. Fifteen exceeded tho 400
