Interests to operate the local factory,
but, due to the unsanitary conditions
that exist and also to the very inade

found It Impossible to get the plant

cation, that his concern wi'.l erect a
modern canning plant here next sea

fruit crops that Lincoln county pro
duces." Crop to Be Taken Care of.
AlthouEh not able to operate the
factory this season, the Lincoln coun-
ty blackberry crop will be taken c iro
of. according to Mr. Frederick. He
will operate a buying station in To-!
ledo and is dickering with several I
buyers In order to get the wgnest
price possible. He estimates 4 l-2c
per pound will be the price paid for
the crop.
iroviaing nr. (Teancn i .uus-l.
ment of 200 tons of berries Is correct,
it would sjem that the wl'.d blackberry
crop of Lincoln county is one of its
most profitable industries. It re
quires no effort or expense on the
part of anyone to produce as the ber
ries grow wild and are simply nature's
Kift. A 4 l-2c per pound this "side
line" will bring Into this county a
atream of gold to the tune of $20 000. 1
Seems as though it Is well worth the '
time of every resident of Lincoln i
county to exert every effort to put .
the entire crop on the market,

Veterans Must
et Claim
t 1.1
v August 9ih
All Who Intend Getting Aid From
. Uncle Sam, Now or Later,
Must Secure Certificates of
Injury at This Time.
With only a few days left for dis
abled World War veterans of this dis
trict to secure certificates of injury,
L. C. Jesseph, northwest district man
ager of the United States Veteran8'
Bureau urges those who may seek
government compensation at a later
date to make application for these cer
tificates before August 9, expiration
date of their issuance.
"The law governing activities of the
Veterans' Bureau states that claims
cannot be filled by disable veterans
after five years from service discharge
unless the claimant has a certificate
of Injury and these ' certlfilcates will
not be issued after August 9," said Mr.
Jesseph. "This simply means that a
veteran discharged from service for
instance on September 1, 1917 could
not file a claim for government com
pensation September 15 of this year
unless he had the necessary certi
ficate. We are anxlotn that every vet
eran in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
know of this important ruling."
M. Jesseph stated that the quickest
way of securing this certificate Is to
nake application for It by letter to
IT. S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington,

Lincoln County will start its fourth
year of T. B. testing next Monday,
with Dr. Derfllnger of the Sta'.e Vet
erinarian department being ln rharso
of the work. Commenting on the re
sults of the T. B. testing, County
Agent Cootor states that during the
paBt three years' testing but few In
fected animals have been found, but
that In a number of Instances where
such animals have been found their
eradication has been a big safeguard
to the general public. Illustrating
this point, the first infected cow found
was ln a large herd on a dairy farm
where farm butter from unpasteurized
cream was being made, supplying
principally the retail Bupply of the
town of Waldport. Fortunately this
cow was In only the early stages of
the dread disease and not yet carry
ing it In the udder was not a "spread
er." She might soon have been, how
ever, as she was soon to calve and
the Infection was spreading. In the
second instance two) Infected cows
were found ln a herd supplying milk

to the large number of tourists an

of merit testing will start next spring.
Mr. L. A. Hulbert, president, announc
ing thnt he Is golnt to put on at
least half a dozen cows and has hopes

to expect production from this class
of animals. Also in the Olalla Bull
association, which 1b headed by a son
of Rlnda Lad, who is a brother of
Lad's lota, the greatest producing cow
ln the world, the farmers in this com
munity can also expect the offsprings
of this finely bred anmial to add laur
els to the records of his sisters lit
blood. Messrs Hawkins and Beck,
presenting tno Uncolu County and
First National Banks, respectively,
are enthusiastic over the possibilities
of dairying in Lincoln county and are
giving every assistance possible to the
formers In the way of purhaslng bet
ter livestock. Mr. F. P. Astroth. field
representative of the American Jersey
Cattle club, who recently visited Lin.
coin county Jersey men, was high In
his praise of the quality of the foun
dation animals, and particularly those
recontly brought In for the Boys' ana
Girls' club. Mr. Astroth stated Mist
he anticipated with pleasure his return
visit to Lincoln county In about four
years at which time he would be able
to witness the then developed herds
built upon the present foundation fe
males and sired by the Oregon type
gold medal bulls.
