Umatilla to Have 4 Junior Stock Judges Umatilla county will be represented in the stock judging contest for juniors at Co-operation By R. C. S. Co-operation is like unto a fire, first but a tiny spark, but when breathed upon 6y favorable winds, growing into a living flame. When speculators at tempt to smother It with their wet blankets of opposition, it is as though these blankets were soaked in oil, only causlpg the flame to grow the brighter, till finally it becomes a dominant be ing, giving off warmth and re newed life to thqse who would share it. Cooperation is a spark of life, to those who have so long felt the cold breath of speculation. By R. A. Ward (Special Asricultaral Correspondent) Eastern Oregon has the distinc tion of having secured the two high est priced rams sold at the fifth an nual ram sale of the National Wool Growers association, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, August 30 to Sep tember 2.

Breed ers are fitting a collection of ram lambs for the Pacific International, which will be the first entrance of Central OregDD. stock at the big show.
