Prof. F. S. Bailey introduced Mr. Pierre us OM of the most practical men hi' had ever known and while he had never held any especially hitch offices in thll state he regarded him as one of the influential men of the state. After complimenting the class of 1015 on the prnirrum nlready render ed by (he St mors and other classmen, Mr. Picric made the assertion that while he had addressed n number of graduating classes he had never be fore had the pleasure of addressing one in which there were an equal num ber of youtlg ladies and young men. He expressed his hopes that all these young people would strive to attend high institutions of learning but as a first step to choose a profession and to stny with it. this being specially emphasized. Mr. Pierce said thai he hoped a number would fit themselves for teachers especially the girls as he regarded this as the pleasant and interesting occupation, especially for young women. The fact that ev ery one could and should be indepen dent nowadays was brought out very strongly by Mr. Pierce and he urged that every young person acquire the habit of accumulating a bank account, be it large or small it would grow and enable them at some time to be thank ful for it. To be able to go through the world with a light heart, always with a cheerful word, and make the best of opportunities, is a trail that should be developed and while money U the goal of many in this modern world, said Mr. Pierce, what we are gradually striving for and what counts more than all else together is "Charactor." The High School auditorium was filled to overflowing with friends und relatives of the graduuted and the program was well appreciated. The Catholic ladles will bold a cook ed food and apron sale next Saturday, May Win, in "Jinimle's Place". Moore Hotel.

EMMA BUTLER DIES SUDDENLY Death of Well Known Local Lady Conies as Surprise to Many Friends The sudden death of Mrs. Edmund Hutler about midnight Sunday night came as a surprise to her many friends and relatives here. Emma Willis was born March 28, 1919, near Lincoln, Nebraska. When three years of age she moved with her parents to Wooilbine, Iowa, where she lived till her murriuge to Edmund Hutler nine years ago, when she came immediately to Ontario, Oregon, where she re nlcii until her death, May It, liiir.. She linished her education at the Normal School at Wooilbine, Iowa, and united with the Christian church when still a young girl, and has lived a faithful christian life. She was the mother of three children: Nellie, aged seven years; Ollie, four years; and a little son who preceded her beyond two years ago. Mrs. Butler was a good neighbor, a kind friend and dearly loved by thine who knew her best. Besides her husband and two little girls, she leaves a father and mother, two bro thers and three sisters to mourn her loss. I Making (he Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD Itsspbei rii . naturally belong In any scheme of mixed furinUig or gardening. They return large acreage earnings and can bo luudo to till up odd corners around the premises. If there la a bit of rough land ou thn placa It can be made profitable by coveting It with raspberry bushes at the rata of 800 to 1,000 per acre. Where growers haro good market fiii -iiltli raspberries ought to pay fUOO an acre above tho coat of picking. A fair estimate of the average value la fUOO to 300 an acre, allowing for uu Cm oriiblo market coudltioua. The crop Is reasonably sure ami la easily haudled by amateurs. The conditions of berry growing have changed somewhat In receut years. KAaiiiBuuisa ma tub mauxkt tt Ihtii formerly atteutlou seemed everywhere to lie given to the black cap i mi ii t) the grower now are pro ducing more and more of the Colum bia, or "pui plt cap," Mini Cuthberts, or "red caps." The reason for thl change He largely In tile fact that rolumbla aud Cuthberts are hardy bustle and are eudowed with long life, whereas tho bluck ttiiotle at beat last only threu seasons. The Cuthbert ordinarily bring the grower from in to 12 ceuta iht quart lu the fresh fruit, so It Is hardly prac ticable under usual condition to put thl vurlety through the evaporator proccM. llnvcer, there may be Iocs I Inst a lice where the evaporator would afford the only feasible outlet, but the bulk of red raspberries Is taken by can oerles and fiuit dculurs at quotations not Miry lug tar from 10 cento. With the Columblas the course Is slightly dlltciciil, (hough great quautl lies arc put up every season by the canning faciei lea. The grower cau count on tho fresh fruit price of the purple cups as averaging from 7 to 0 cents per qua it. What this Tarlety luck In imirkci quality a compared in tho Cuthbert It make up In proline production, being a hardy grower. This variety Is evaporated on a largo scale and brings. In tiny dried product from L'o to 0 cents per pound The shrlnkuge In the liorrle will require from three and cue half to four quurts flay tbe pound, dried product. The fruit Is dried on wire racks, and where kiln driers are very common In handling apples the racks are placed In I he kiln on the floor The fruit Is 04 handled after being placed ou the rucUs, and no "turning" of the rack Is made. Nome! lines burlap Is used on the kiln floor, with the berries spread cut ou the burlap. In district where the kllu dilcr has uot made Its adveut the eld wire rack system will bo found udequatc.

Vtifrerent Methods Suggested For Keep ing Down th Top Growth. ! 1 1 1 jliii'iI by Unltml State department of iiiji i.-ntiii . In fighting weeds it Is extremely Im portant to know how long- they nat urally live nnd their habits of repro duction. Weeds are divided Into three classes, nccordlng to their length of life annuals, biennials and perennials. Homo of the most persistent weeils are perennlnls weeds which produce each year underground parts which live over to tho next year and produce top growth. These underground parts may be of vntious kinds. They may consist of long, more or less horlsouUil roots, as In the bull nettle, milkweed and Cmindn thistle, or the underground parts miiy consist of root stocks or un derground stems, ns In the case of quack grnss, Johnson grass and peren nial sow thistle. Among the ways that niny be adopt ed for keeping down top growth of per ennial weeds are tho following: Clean cultivation, pasturing, growing smooth er crops, frequent cutting with n hand hoe, spud or mower, and smothering snmll patches with tmlldlng paper or other material. In most enses cultivation will have to be relied upon to destroy perennials. The work may be done either with or rBMca bow murso into a wwi o WAT Or miii.vinii Til WBBU 1-kmil.KM without a cultivated crop growing ou the land. Mauy faruiora have eradl en led perennial weed by giving thor oiigh cultivation to a crop. Cultiva tion la eMieftally effective If the crop has been planted In check rows, so as to . unit working In two directions The ordinary shovel and tooth eultl valors permit many wee. I stein to slip through uuharuied. It Is ofteu best, therefore, to ubc cultivators of the weep or weed knife type. These sweeps skim along under thu surface of the soil and cut off all wesl stems On many of the modern eulthatri sweep nine to eighteen Incite wide inn be attai'hi-ii lu place of the shov els. No matter how thoroughly the tops have been kept down durlug the period of cultivation, most well established perennial will continue to send up top ufter cultivation atiqw. This situ utlou may be met by frequent chop plug with a hoe. Hund hoeing In such case 1 not as tedious as It may seem, mil i- inoHt jiercuiilals do uot oc cupy the laud solidly, but occur lu liatihe. If the top growth I thu thor oughly kept down one year Is usuully suihcieiit to eradicate even the worst of our in'ii-iiiii.iK. This plan 1 epe dally effective ugalnat Cuuadu thistle, bull nettle aud bindweed. fereliulul may ofteu be attacked most effectively by clean cultivation without growing u cultivated crop lu other words, by u bare fullow. It Is seldom udvisuble to fallow for on eu tire year. Mime thl doe uot permit the furuier to get any use of hi land. A better pliui is to use the land durlug the early part of the aeusou aud to fal low It the latter part. For lustauce. the bind may be pustured up till mid summer, or n crop of hay or small grain may be takeu off before Minting the fallow. This plan has the uddl limiai advantage of slartlug the work of eradication by fallowing at a period when nearly all weeds are lu their Ml susceptible stuge. Under thi plan the work of fallowing should be -Uaried as soon after barveat a poal I'le. The land should be plowed aud then harrowed or disked at frequeut intervals during the remainder of lb. season to prevent top growth Thick stands and vigorous growth or smother crops may lie depended ou to keep down the top growth of pereii nlills. The most commonly used smoth er crops are alfalfa, buckwheat o beans, millet, sorghum aud bur clover Some xv eisls are more susceptible to (bis treatment than others. Nut grass may Is- eradicated by a continuous uccessiou of smother crops. Including soy beans or cowpea In the summer .11. d bur clover or wluter grains for a winter crop. Cutting off repeatedly the top of per ennlal weeds with n mower, scythe or other tool may sometimes be used to advantage. This Is of mo' use on pas tures. roadsides und other uncultivated places. It bus beeu found that mow lug twice s year for two years will eradicate the fern brake, oue of the Isid weeds of pasture lu New Eugland aud New York. When you want pickles call No. 6.

GATHERING DATA FOR POWER HEARING Considerable interest is centering in the hearing June 14tth before the Idaho Public Utilities Commission when the power rates for irrigation purposes will be threshed out in an attempt to secure a reduction. The Lower Snake River Valley Power Us j er.s' Association is taking the initia tive in the move and is securing ex hauti"e dala in regnnl to the amount of power used in this section, the num ber of acres irrigated from electric irigating plants, and nlso the num ber of acres that would probably be brought under irrigation should the power rate be reduced. Secretary Lattig of the association, with headquarters nt Payette, has pre pared blanks upon which to furnish the data, and sent them to some two hundred power users in the district. Much of the data has already hfM se cured, and additional reports nre be together with a formal application for a reduction in rates, wil be laid before the Idaho Commission June 14th., and the matter wil be argued out thoroughly by representatives of both sides. ' TELEPHONE HEARING IS The final hearing in the telephone rate case has been postponed for an other month nt leust, the telephone company having been gruute.l an o tension of time to supply certain data which the railroad commission wants at the time of hearing. The time limit for securing this data was set for May -.Mb., but the time has been extended to June .'inli The hearing will be held sometime son after June 20th., at which time it is thought the commission will come to Ontario and take evidence here. ,' HOI LKVAKI) ITKMS.
