A lot of selected seed was procured from the milo maize district of Texas and smnll quantities sufficient to sow a small tract for experimental purposes has been sent to several farmers in the eastern part of the state They are urged to plant it and care for it the first year and to enlarge the tract de voted to this purpose with succeeding years, ir the Texas seed is not hardy enough for the Oregon climate, the second year's product, is pointed out, will gain in hardihood and be suffi ciently strong to withstand any climate. In the past four or five years the de velopment of milo maize as a grain crop has been progressing rapidly. The carefully selected milo maize of today is a great improvement over the com mon, unselccted crop. Ordinarily the stalk has been reduced, by selection, to n uniform height from 4 to 4J feet in regions lying at an altitude of 3000 to 4000 feet. Through selection of seed the heads have been changed from mostly drooping to moBtly erect By further care in choosing the seed, branching has been almost entirely pre vented and the growth of "suckers" has been checked. Milo maize is at present the most successful summer grain crop for dry regions. It is earlie r and a more drought resistant crop than corn and mnkes a more satisfactory feeding substitute. Tho average yeilds of corn under same conditions have been 10 bushels to the acre less than that of milo. The soil requirements for milo maize are about the same as those for corn. Well worked sandy loams or clay loams are best. The roots penetrate to depths of three to four feet in ordinary soils. Fair yields result on rather poor lands. In the semi arid country much depends upon how the soil is handled to conserve moisture. R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the Harriman lines, has been instrumental in the introduction or milo maize in Oregon. He believes that carefully se- ccted seed, through a period of from two to three years, will develop a crop that can be caily and economically grown in the driest portions or the state. The crop requires about the same attentions as corn and can be har vested at much less expense. The seed contains the principal value and is fed to chickens, cattle and hogs, wiihoutbe ing removed from the stalk It has been found best to allow the stock to thresh out the seed for itsself. Prlnevllle Will Celebrate The business men of Prineville held a meeting Monday evening and unani mously decided to let the eagles scream Ju y 3rd, 4th and 5th. Twenty-five hundred dollars will be spent n the celebration. There will be a balloon, baseball tournament, a big barbecue, auto races, street sports, auto parade, street floats, etc. The executive committee is com posed of G. N. Clifton, It. L. Jordan, L. R. Cooper, Collins W. El kins and Frank Foster. Sub-committees and final details will be an nounced later. Journal Mail by Railroad H. G. Durand, postoffico in spector stationed at The Dalles, has been in Prineville arranging to assist in the change of the base of mail supply for Prineville Redmond and other interior points. Mr. Durand said all mail should come from Opal City or Culver Junction to Prineville, because mail clerks run to those points on the Oregon Trunk now. He could offer no explanation why there had been no change made and wired the postoffice de partment urging the change. G. M. Cornett, present contractor has submitted offers for the ser vice from the points named, both by stage and automobile. The mail line between Prine ville nnd Rend will be discontin ued, and Prineville will receive Bend mail over tne irinevine Redmond route. Mr. Durand is nfchfir interior Orecron offices. Redmond Spokesman, BASEBALL LEAGDE BEING CONSIDERED Plan Proposed to Arrange a Sched ule of dames A letter has been rpcplveA hv the Madras baseball Redmond proposing the organi zation of a Crook county base ball league of not less than four teams and the arrangement of a schedule of games for the sum mer. The plan is to have Prine ville, Redmond. Madras and Bend, and probablv teams from other points in the organization, and to set dates for games that will give each town a came everv other Sunday. This idea is well received hv the Madras players, and the prospect for good ball looks bright at present. A letter has also been received from the Dufur club, wanting to arrange a game between that team and the Madras tossers to take place here but it is feared that the expense of bringing.the visitors to Madras would be greater than the financial end of the game would justify. Ed. Brown will be with Mad ras for the summer, and is con sidered the strongest man in the box in this part of the country. Knapp will also be here to back up the home plate, while among the Harriman construction forces now arriving here there is said to be some classy players. Prlnevllle's New Schoolhouse The contract is let for building the new schoolhouse at Prine ville says the Journal. It will be a handsome two-story brick structure with cement basement. It will contain nine class rooms and will accommodate 450 pupils. Additional class rooms can be fixed up in the basement and the building made to accommodate 600 pupils. The structure will cost $23,463. The heating plant will cost $3720 extra.
