ALL RIGHT
If there is a money stringency
in tho country, we have not been
able to locate it in Prineville.
When asked his opinion of the
financial situation, T. M. Bald
win, cashier of the First
National Bank, said: "Conditions
are steadily improving and I think
they will ho normal after January
1st The amount of money that is
being spent m making tiinher
proofs will take a little money out
ot tho country but I look for no
very bad effect in this part of the
west."
C. M. Elkins, cashier of the
Crook County Bank, said: "Con
ditions are decidedly better than
they were sixty days ago. De
posits are good and all lines of
business are improving. We had
more cash on hand Saturday nieht
than when the Governor's order
went into effect."
Manager C. A. Crooks'of the P.
L. & W. Co., when asked concern
ing his collections, remarked:."!
hear very little complaint this
month and nearly evervonn in
prepared to pay. If there is ever
any shortage of cash I usually

Mrs. Lena M. Adams of this
place last week made an assign
ment of her stock of merchandise
and other property connected with
the mercantile business conducted
at this place by as Lena M. Lamb,
to U. r . Stewart of Prinev.lle. who
took charge of the business last
Sunday says the Madras Pioneer
Mr. Stewart and his son have both
been here during the week, taking
inventory of the stock of merchan
dise and checking up matters in
connection with the assignment.
Mr. Stewart, who is the largest
creditor of Mrs. Lamb, stated on
Monday that the assignment was a
general one, for the benefit of all
the creditors, who would share
with him pro rata in the proceeds
of the assignment.
The assignment made bv Mrs
Adams is due to an indebtedness
incurred by her last fall, when she
purchased a large amount of wheat
in this section for Mr. Stewart.
who is engaged in the flouring
mill business at Prineville. the in
debtedness to Mr. Stewart arising
out of that . transaction. Mr.
Stewart claims an indebtedness of
about $3000.
' The inventory has not yet pro
ongh to tell just what
tore will be in, nor
certajned with any
mount of indebted
against the business,
oui it is generally believed that
the creditors will save' a fair pro
portion of their claims. Mrs.
Lamb has been engaged in the
mercantile business in Madras for
four or live years. Her creditors
are principally among the whole
sale merchants of Portland,
although Mr. Stewart i t.hn iQ.
gest individual creditor.

ROOT CROPS IN
CROOK COUNTY
The production of beets. turnii:
and various root crops for Ptlf
feed is a new thing for the general
farmer in Central Oregon although
it is a general practice and a profit
able one in other sections of the
United States.
The value of the root crop on
the average farm as feed for hotrs.
sheep or cattle, and especially
when fed with hay instead of bran
of grain can hardly be overesti-
new soil
mated. This fact has been annrn.
ciated by the people of Crook
county for years past, but the
opinion seemed to prevail that the
country was not suited for the
growth of a crop of beets or turnips,
eiuier because of the nature of the
soil or the climatic conditions.
One could not visit the fairs in
the county this fall, however.
without being impressed with the
displays of all kinds of root crops,
from potatoes of almost every good
variety to carrots, parsnips, tur
nips, and several kinds of stock
and sugar beets in quanities suffi
cient to convince anyone that the
conditions are right for the nro-
auction of these crops in abund
ance.
The display at the Redmond
air covered a wider field that that
at the county fair, notwithstand
ing the fact the crops were not
mature at tnat season. The na-
ture of the soil in the so-called
desert region is such that with the
free use of water these crops thrive
almost beyond belief.
In this immediate vicinitv ther
have been two striking examnles
of the profits
li Wl
these crops this season. On a
piece of ground about a mile
northwest of Prineville some fifteen
j tons of field beets were grown on
an acre and one half of a
that was cleared this enrinr
These beets were of excellent size,
and took first premium at the
county fair where they were ex
hibited by D. P. Adamson & Co.
II. Odell report a better growth
of mangles on a two ac. niu t
ground about four miles east of the
city limits. This crop was sown
on old soil and is very thick on
the ground but as they have not
been harvested yet it is not nos-
sible to tell what the vield will be.
Of the varieties that have been
tested in this vicinitv r th.
mangles (the stock beet commonlv
termed sugar beet but differing
from the real sugar beet in some
respects), White Belgian carrots,
and field turnips. These crops be
side producing more feed per acre
tban any other crop, can be grown
alternately with grains or notatoes
with success, as thev consumn
elements from the soil that are not
used by the other crops, making
me yield better for both bv crow-
ing them alternately. The aver
age yield, according to government
tests is from eight tons to as high
as twenty tons per acre. As a
stock food when chopped as feed
witn hay they are a very good
substitute for grain when stock is
to be fattened, and when fed to
dairy cows produce satisfactory
results.
From tests made by the govern
ment of soils and climatic con
ditions it is stated that almost all
parts of Oregon are favorable for
the production of these crops,
being second in natural conditions
to no part of the United States.
From observations made of the
growth of sugar beets on the same
bald for a term of vears it was
found that sugar beets grown on
the same land after several suc
cessive crops of wheat will grad
ually increase in vielil fnr t
years, and if the third or fourth
crop of beets is followed again, by
wheat the yield of grain is very
much better than it was before the
beets were grown. Another very
strong argument in favor of at
least a few acres .of these crops on
every farm is the fact that they
can be grown on small pieces of
ground that are not planted with
other crops, and the cost of their
production can be reduced to the
minimum as they can be tended at
wben hired help cannot be profit
ably employed n' -york.
