CROOK CO NTT JOVRNAL
WELFARE LEAGUE
Monday night a meeting was call
ed at the Methodist church, all da
nominations of the city participat
ion, to form the Crook County Wel
fare League, and the organiiation
was completed Tuesday night.
The purpose of the league Is to
study the social, moral, economic
and educational conditions and prob
lems of Prineville, Crook county and
the state of Oregon, and to suggest
laws as a result of this study, and to
asstst in keeping regulations and
laws which govern the community.
The league was formed before the
election results were known, In or
der that there would be no feeling
that the people of Prineville do not
place confidence in th officials that
they select. The league has been or
ganized for the purpose of backing
up the rules and regulations of tho
county and state.
' - leagues have became unl
:.i all important cities and
iiv-s of the I'nited States, and are
recognized factors tn the improve
ment of all cities, and there Is room
for an active league In this county.
There are 20 charter members of
the league. All citizens of Prine
ville and Crook county are eligible to
Join, but membership is decided by
a two thirds vote of the members
present at a meeting.
It is expected that the women's
clubs of the city and county, and oth
er organizations, will take steps to
be well represented in the new work

are babies from Crook county in the

small quilts for the cribs. Prine

for the ome this year as much as we
have done in the past, but we ean .
assist by contributing these small
quilts. They need them in two sls-j

WASHING and Ironing done at reas-

More than 60,000 bushels ot grain
have been threshed on the Ochoco
Project during the season Just clos
ed, despite the fact that the season
has been the shortest In years and
the water supply was but one half
of normal.
The grain was for the most part
blue stem wheat, although tall wheat
barley, oats and rye were produced
tn smaller amounts.
. Much of the acreage under the
project was In' hay crops, which re
sulted In many thousands of tons of
hay, a large part of which Is alfalfa.
These acres Will ' produce a much
heavier return next year, as in most
Instances the alfalfa, if cut, was be
ing harvested lor the first time.
Smith Brothers, who threshed 85,
000 bushels of the project crop this
year, completing the task this week,
say that the quality of the grain has
generally been ,gond, although much
of it was damaged to some extent by
frost.
While a considerable amount of
the crop has been sold at prices
ranging from 1.60 to 2.85 per bush
el tor wheat, the greater part of it is
yet In the granaries on the farms or
being held in the Ochoco Warehouse,
Granaries are filled to capacity,
grain Is piled In the fields, the sack
pile In many Instances almost as
large as the conical shaped straw
stacks that dot the landscape.
Threshermen say that the present
crop Is ten times as great as the best
previous year on record for these
lnnds, which have not been Irrigated,
previously, and that with a full sup
ply next year and an average season
the total crop should be many times
greater than that of this season.
