This causes losses in dollar and
cent.
In Irrigated alfalfa districts weath
er la generally good for cutting and
curing hay, but the crop la often pur
posely left to ripen when it is to be
old to stock ment by stack mea-
uremeiit. This late cutting gains
some weight for the crop, but often
dnmages the next crop by clipping
the young sprouts.
Clover is best cut when one-third
of the blooms are turning brown.
The best time to cut alfalfa is
when about one-third ot the blosBoms
are open, or when the new sprouts
of the following crop begin to ap
pear. Vetch and oats make the best hay
when the lower vetch pods are half
formed.

There are no two men better known

L. (Farmer) Smith of the O-W Rail

They have viaited thi part of the
state many time, but until their ar
rival this morning they have seldom
been guests of this community in
the same party betore.
Theyare looking over the Ochoco
Proect, Powell Butte and some of
the best stock ranches in this county
and are highly 'pleased with condi
tions as they see them here.
Farmer Smith says that prospects
over the northwest were never so
bright, and while talking presents
every listener with one of his latest
merit of sun flowers for silage, which
he says cannot be overestimated
Addison Bennett says be never
felt so young and full of fight, and
from the pace he sets in getting over
the country and writing first class
newspaper copy, the younger gener
ation of writers all feel that they
would be happy - to. be aa young as !
Bennett, who used to notify the post
office department that he was hold
ing the position of occupying two
postoffices at one time was post
master at Irigon, Oregon, a fourth
class postoffice, insisting that he was
not a fourth class postmaster, and
was at the same time postmaster of
the only fifth class postoffice In the
Lnited States, Rabbitville, Oregon.
The postoffice inspectors never
could find Rabbitville so that office
was never inspected, but the office
was located about midway between
Irigon and Button Springs, "where
ver that is.

Ian Mr: Bennett became famous, and
bas been on the editorial staff of Ore

years. ; .
The party will be in this com
munity for the next two or three
days.
Painters are at work painting and
decorating the Interior of the Prine

ment is Just one more evidence of
tbe constant endeavor ot the pro

make his place of business more san
itary, but also to make the interior
a fitting background for his care
fully selected meats, fruits and vegetables.

DOGS MUST WEAR V
A LICENSE TAG
The District Attorney wishes - to
inform the citizens of Crook County,
that, if they have a dog in their po-
session they must get a license for
him. This license must be procured
at the office of the county clerk; and
costs $1.00 for male dogs and $2.00
for female dogs. It must be pro
cured for valuless as well as valuable
canines. As it is unfair that part of
of thd dog owners should pay this
license and other not, prosecutions
will Boon be made of all cases com
ing to the attention ot this - office
where dog owners have not " com
plied with the law. It applies to
town dogs as well as country dogs.
