( By R. A, Ward)
Central Oregon farmers havlna
rarra hocks nave as rule, very fair
bucks. Several of our sheenmen al
so keep good bucks, but the larger
part of the range flocks which we
have visited lately are using a mon
grel lot of scrub bucks that are a
disgrace to the sheep Industry. The
matter of pure bred bucks and bettor
sheep Is not a fancy by any means.
It Is dollars snd cents proposition.
Three or four of our prominent Cen
tral Oregon sheepmen running large
bands of sheep on the range, had
their wool appraised at from iSe to
45c per pound. They use poor bucks,
and their ewe bands could also be
greatly Improved. Another sheep
man running about 6,000 head of
well bred stuff in Central Oregon
bad wool which brought 62c, and an
other In neighboring state had wool
which brought him 64c a pound. The
Montana wools from well bred flocks
have run around 70c per pound. The
County Agent received a sample of
nonce irom an imported Lincoln buck
owned In Canada, which measured
16 Inches In length. The ram's nine
month's old fleece weighed 32 pounds
ana Drought him (20.80.
In the old days, wool waa lust wool
ana wnon buying at a flat rate, buy
ers offered ss much for good wool aa
for bad. A buyer could not buy wool
on ua morits aa la done In Auatralia.
Rlnce Government control of the wool
clip has gone into effect, wool has
been bought on its merits, aa It
should be. and the careful breeder
has received the premium which he
justly deserved, while the acrub
sheep man has suffered the penalty.
By the use of better bucks, It Is
possible to raise the average of the
wool clip In Central Oregon at leaat
a pound per sheep and possibly more.
On the 80,000 sheep running In Cen
tral Oregon, this would mean an In
crease of 80,000 pounds of wool,
which Is quite a cash Item at -present
prices. The value of the entire clip
would alao be raised. Tha can be
done by using the best bucks money
can buy.

The local board for Crook county
has been notified to call three men
from Class I to be entrained on Oct.

present time there has been but
one volunteer tor this call.
Men selected for this ser.vlce will

ernment expense fitting them to
serve in army positions both at the
front and behind the lines. The
men will be assigned to that kind ot
mechanical training for which the

the call. At the end ot the course
they will be assigned to various
branches of the service in accordance
with the needs of the army. They
are to receive no assurance of assign
ment to any particular brancn of the

A nation and an individual are
alike when they want to buy anything
they must have money or credit,
which is based on money. Our Allies
were short on both and we sunnlird
their need. We advanced them
ey and credit, and we called the trans
action a loan. In the fiscal year 1917
ana mi we loaned them $5,623,.
000.000. Their securities and aov
ernmental undertakings to repay lie
in tne vaults or tne Treasury of the
United States.
What our Allies did with that cred
it or money is of vast Importance to
us. They looked to us to supply
them with wheat and corn and cot
ton from our fields, coal snd ore
from our mines, and finished prod
ucts from our factories and founder
les, otherwise they could not remain
at war, so they brought this credit
that we had lent them into our mar
kets and spent it over our counters.
During the fiscal year 1918 our ex
ports amounted to $6,000,000,000.
hix billion is six thousand million!
Most of these went to our Allies and
was turned immediately and eagerly
into fighting stuff for winning their
war our war.
You will be interested in knowing
some of the things our Allies really
did with the sums we lent them.
First they used over $150,000,000 for
relief in Beltrium and Servia. The
people In Belgium call it "blessed
money." Beside the enormous expen
ditures embraced 12 the term muni
tions of war they have BDent ssnn..
000,000 for cereals, $800,000,000 for
meat ana otner foods, and $600,000,

assigned the Freshman class who

sufficient to produce enough
carbon to make one gas reapir-
