and thus tourists are directed that
wtnto with n littlp work on the
abort distance "f road would give
them a route shone.- and better to
the west and east through Burns on
the Central Oregon highway. The
roads are fine in this county and
from here to Bend are found some
of the best dirt roads in the -entire,
west. This is the route that should
be c-iven preference by the travel
during this part of the year. In
fact it is the only all year route
across the state from east to west.
It is most direct between Yellow
stone and Crater Lake parks, is
free from long grades and hills to
climb. It has good camping places
at reasonable distances apart with
good trout fishing streams enroute.
Burns and Harney county have
been unfortunate in not getting in
first on road builline and cetting tn
touch with the powers that would
exploit its advantages to the tourist.
We are not mentioned in the Blue
Book, according to good authority,
nnd that means we are not in touch
with the majority of the' tourists
who buy this' book and the maps as
their guides.
The people of Vale and Malheur
countv should sret busv with the
road up thin way if they expect any
benefits from the tourist travel. The
Orecon Trail boosters are diverting
the travel that should come' this
way. Burns Times-Herald.
THE USUAL PORTLAND BOOST.
The Oregon Voter has joined the
ranks of those who scoff at irriga
tion if anything can be judged from
two articles in its last week's issue,
It has a lengthy argument purport
ing to show why the North Unit
project in Central Oregon should not
be constructed and another table ot
statistics to prove that the land
owners of the Umatilla and Kla
math project did not make their
salt last year.
What is the matter with some
Portland people?

Following is the story of the doll
clothes contest written by Barbara
Castleman, who is 10 years old.
"The Dorcas Cewing Club is com
posed of girls about 14 in number
and with Mrs. Turner as leader. The
girls are all under 12 years of age.
We all look forward to our meeting
days for aside from the beginning
and finishing of some interesting
piece of sewing we always have- a
delightful social time.. The club en
joyed an early spring hike and road
side picnic lunch.
Here I am forgetting that I was
asked to write a short article of the
doll clothes contest which was held
recently.
The making of the clothes for the
contest was great fun and a lot ol
work for small hands.
We had several meetings at which
we worked on the clothing. We
made dresses or rompers as we
chose and then different little ar
tides that go to make the finishing
touches on dollies attire.
In the final contest Dorothy Laxon
won first prize and she has promis
ed to write a story telling of her
work.
Flora Everett made underclothes,
dress, coat, cap and little shoes for
her doll. The clothing was so pret
tily made that the judges, Mrs. Gil-
ham and Mrs. Andrews, decided
that Flora was entitled to first
prize in the second contest.
Beulah Rasmussen made a dress,
cap and underclothing nicely and
was given second prize in the con
test.
The other members of the club
dressed their dolls in such an at
tractive way that it was decided to
give each girl a small doll as a
token for her effort.
Mrs. Turner served refreshments
and we adjourned and are looking
forward to meeting again with our
leader, to whom we owe much for
our success as a club, to whom wc
are responsible for the many useful
and pretty articles which each club
member proudly displays.

13. In thinning the lettuce in the
rows the character of the soil a
well as the market requirements for
the product should be considered A
rich soil may produce heads no
large as to be objectionable from the
trade's viewpoint if the plants an
separated by too great a distance.
Ordinarily 12 inches t not too
close on good soil. Distances vary
from 10 to 14. New growers some
times make the mistake of leaving
the planta too close together und
they produce an inferior head ot
poor una where such crowding oc
cur. Distancea between heads should
be uniform and never under any
circumstances should more than one
plant be left in a place. The thin
ning t-hould I- done carefully before
the plunls are large enough to in
jure each other by crowding. The
plant.: are blocked out with hoes and
thinned to ue in a place by hand.
All but the bc-ht plant in each clump
or Mori, are pulled out with the
fingi-rs.
14. Harvesting of the crop should
be done as soon as the heads haw
been formed firmly and while the
product is in prime shipping condi
tion. The firmness of the heads
may be determined by the feeling
but the general condition of the
field will be indicated by the ap
pearance, especially by the color.
Fully matured heads usually appear
a little lighter colored on top. The
change in the shade of the tops ot
the heads will signify that the size
cannot be increased without causing
the leaves to burst. In warm
weath,er these mature heads will be
the first to slime anilf in cold
weather they will be most subject to
injury from a freeze.
The stems of the plant are cut
with a knife far enough below the
head to leave the foliage intact. The
best and most mature heads are
selected at each cutting. It is gen
erally necessary to cut over the
fields two or three times depending
upon the evenness of the maturity.
The heads are placed in crates
stem up, top down. Crates should
not be packeil so full that the beads
will be crushed or injured from the
pressure o'f other crates which are
loaded on top. Lettuc should not be
exposed to severe wind or sunshine
before packing. It should be deliv-
berc;l to- packing nouse promptly nna
protected by canvas ,covcr while on
the road to be packed.
U. S .Grades for Head Lettuce.

of similar varietal characteristics
which are flesh, well trimmed and
fairly firm; which are not wilted,

chanical or other means.

-andlheirjiigh Jdil&agb Records
The high mileage records of Firestone Cords continue to em
phasize the fact that Firestone methods are different and better.
These records, steadily increasing in number and in mileage
totals, justify the Firestone contention that there is one best
way to build tires.
Among the primary sources of Firestone extra mileage is
double gum-dipping the saturation- of the cord plies in a vat
of liquid gum thus coating each cord and virtually eliminating
internal heat and friction.
Another is Firestone air bag curing, with its 200 pound
pressure, -which places every cord accurately and equalizes the
tension.
By blending the rubbers of different plantations and types,
and by tempering it before mixing, Firestone men add still
more mileage.
Many cord tires are good a few are better Firestone users
say one is best.
Those who have already experienced Firestone mileage, have
stopped shopping and experimenting they have made these
cords standard equipment. Investigate your friends' success
with Firestone Cords and buy your next tire accordingly.
Come in and' get your share of extra mileage.
