WALLOWA (Special) extremely hot weather together with drying winds has hurried wheat harvest along considerably. Some burning of the wheat on thin laud In hlU sec tions has occurred. As the most ol the wheat is yet In the early stage of filling, some bellove that If the weather becomes cooler soon no latge damage will be done. Much, binding of back-swathes around large fields has been done the past few days and some r who' have early-sown whea which they expect to bind and thresh with stationary outfits, will be bind- PwTKrM " tng within the next week. Much spring-sown grain appears to-be standing the dry weather remarkably well and with cooler weather a little later In the season, there -are pros pects for fair crops, Bqulrrel-esten areas do pot promise to return any thing -with the exception of- a -little hay where- there has been sufficient moisture to allow a second growth of the wheat wnich was cut toy the squirrels alter It had headed out. Further reports of the damage this season continues to swell the acreage which 'has been lost and there Is a great need lor help from some source In combatting the pests another sea son. - Various suggestions are being voiced about a more complete cam paign egalnat them, but nothing def inite has been proposed. From pres ent appearances cutting with com bines may be started quite early In August. Most of the wheat and other grains will be harvested with the com bines again this season. Farmers In the middle valley state there will be considerable combining of crops on irrigated land this season.

He showed the growth from the time -when: .the state had 30 patients suffering from this malady in its wards to the present time when- there are 380 patients and a demand for 40 or 50 beds, the longest waiting list - the institutions have ever nadL The -present death rate, he stated, varied -from 600 per an num in Manilla to 30 In the more favorable places. The physician now has the complete story. of tuberculos is from tine Infant to the adult and while there is no specific step which may be taken in -prevention as is the case with smallpox and other contagious or - Infectious diseases, there is a definite, means of- control of its spread and what is now needed more than anything else is co-operation from nil parts of the state in that control. "Better to put a fence at the edge of the cliff than to put an ambulance at the 'bottom" quoted Dr. Bellinger in summing up the need. Mrs. Saidle Orr-Dunbnr, executive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis association was the second guest speaker.

The first county nurse in the state was placed in 1918 and now 22 counties In Oregon have this specialized health service.-There are also? two full-time state tuber culosis nurses and a. full time child health worker who works through the school of the state. "While the leadership comes -from the profes sion", said Mrs. Dunbar, "the asso ciation is attempting to furnish' the program for the lay workers. We function 'In the field of education, for in Oregon there is tittle machin ery outside of the profession.'' The organization puts the balance of power back on the community.
