Spring Wheat and Peas
Best Rotation Crops for
Eastern Oregon Farms
PENDLETON, July 7 -(-Experiments
at the field station here
show spring wheat and peas to be
the best rotation crops for dry
land farms in eastern Oregon,
George Mitchell, superintendent,
said today at the annual field day
inspection program.
Winter wheat and peas is the
next best combination on the
basis of yield per acre and cash
return, he said, continuous crops
more than making up for the
slightly larger yield obtained
through Intervening summer fal
low. CHAPTER XXXVIII
Jonathan said soberly, .
Tm sorry for Sally. She's sot
herself into something of a mess
oh, of course I didn't think she was
wildly in love with Phil when she
married him, or Phil with her, for
-that matter. It was just one of
those things. Matter of fact I didn't
and don't believe Sally had it in
her to be madly in love with any
one," he said, "but that's not the
point I always thought Dexter waa
fairly easy going fellow, a bit on
the cock-eyed side, of course. Knew
he had a temper, but most men have
tempers so that wasn't anything to
write home about: But it seems he
can be pretty devilish-at times."
f "Poor Sally I" exclaimed Rose.
They had reached her steps. As she
went up, her arm through his, she
said, "1 wonder ... if she hadn't
lost the baby would it have made
any difference.,.."
"She told you about that?" Jona
than exclaimed. He took the key
from her hand and opened the door.
They went ia together, the cold air
following them. The door closed be
hind them and they went Into the
living room with the firelight and
lamp light and warmth and sense of
comforting seclusion.
"Yes," said Rose, "she told me.
... It's nice to be here," she said,
divesting herself of. her outdoor
things . . . "and alone." -
Jonathan took her in his arms.
He said, "I hope youll always feel
like that, whenever we are together."
-You know I will," she told him.
Sitting , down beside her on the
. couch he asked, "When did Sally
tell you about the baby?"
"Tha Sunday I went with you to
see her. I was sorry, but then, as
she said, she doesn't want to be tied
down so early In her marriage."
Jonathan said, ."Did she tell you
It was Uextera laultT"
"Whj, no," said Rose, "she didnt
.She said she'd had a fail. Jon, you
don't, you can't mean. ... .
"I mean just that" he said.
frowning. .fTonight . . . well, it
seemed she couldn't stick it any
longer, she'd told her father that
she wanted a divorce and her father
told her that if she got one it would
be without his assistance. There'd

- Rose said, "If she feels that way
. . . I mean ... Oh, it's all so mixed
p-part of me wants to urge her to
ret at work, earn the monev to
. tree herself and part of me says that
- she mad her. bed and must lie in it
and that perhaps after a while
things will grow better." .
"I know." said Jonathan. : "I
eouldnt advise her, of course. Oh,
l could as a physician, l suppose.
But I've come to look waruv on
psychological generalization. Shell

Look here, never mind Sally, poor
sad. What about you and this Dex
ter unmentionable?" v ;
"111 work , that out too." said
Rose confidently. She leased her
head against hu shoulder. "Did I
; ever tell you about ray grand
mother?" she demanded. "No? Well,
when she was a girl she taught a
district school. Ungraded. You
know the type. Country. She
boarded nearby. The last teacher
had been a man who taught with a
. shot gun leaning up against his
desk. Grandma didn't need the job.
: Her people were prosperous farm
ers, her father was a circuit rider
whose health had failed and he'd
rone into farming. Well, anyway.

calcitrant pupil in the class. He did
no work, he was lazy and sullen.
One day she kept him la at the noon
hour, locked him in, ia fact while
she went across the road to lunch.

had climbed out of the window as

she was pretty sure he would do. So
when he returned later with his
class she said to him, 'Freddy Freil,
pick up your books and go home
and don't you dare to come back.'
And then she sent a note to the
school board, or whatever func
tioned those days. She wrote: 'Fred
dy Freil is lazy. Freddy Freil ia
shiftless and profane. J have told
him not to return to class and I
will not permit him to return as
long as I am its teacher.' Simple,
wasn't it?"
"What did the board do?" In
quired Jonathan laughing.
"Oh, they offered her the lob
again and a raise in the munificient
wages of the period, at the close of
the school year," said Rose, "but
Grandma meantime had fallen in
love."
"Simple, wasn't it?" Jonathan
echoed.
Mrs. Ward came up the kitchen
steps and rang the bell. Jonathan
went to answer it Presently they
came back together.
"Where did you ro?" asked Mrs.
Ward, fixing Rose with a stern eye,
and what happened to Jonathan s
coffee?" I
"I turned off the gas," explained
Rose, pacifically, "before I went out
I'd have you know, darling, I have
that much sense. I went up to Jon's,
I'm afraid to let him out of my
sight"
Nonsense I"- said her mother
briskly. "Well, I'll just go out and
put some more on. I could do with
a cup myself ." ,
The telephone rang, and Rose
went to answer it An agitated voice
which she did not recognize asked
if Doctor Kimber were there.
"It's for you, Jon," she said, and
made a face at him, "wouldn't you
know it would be? Poor mother,
youll never drink that coffee now."
"That a no attitude for a doctor's
wife," said Jonathan, and took the
instrument from her. He spoke
briefly into it "Doctor Kimber
speaking. When? Where? . . .
All right. Ill be along." -
He hung up and leaped for his
coat "What is it?" asked Rose
anxiously. He said, already on. his
way to the door. "It's Larry Dexter,
automotme accident at Four Corn
era. He's injured someone and, as
far as I can make out himself. Ill
have to run and get out the car.
They've phoned for an ambulance
but he's been taken into the Phillips'
bobn sum rauups csuieo me, -The
door slammed behind him.
. Jonathan reached the , Phillips
house at Four Corners just as the
ambulance came along. It was a
private vehicle " as the hospital
maintained no bus service. He spoke
briefly to the v men and went into
the house which he knew welL It
was filled with neighbors and with.
ne surmised, - morbid sightseers.
There were half a dozen cars out
side as well as Larry's car, which
reposed nearby In a ditch. . ;. -?
J onathan - looked at ' the people.
He said "ShooP gently and then
amplified his request not as gently
and presently got them out and
there remained only Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips, elderly people, greatly agi
tated by what had happened, his
two patients and the mother of one
ox them. , .... ,..
For Larry had struck a half
grown boy who had been walking
home, his skates over his shoulder,
irora a nearoy pond.
Phillips said, tremulously, as Jon
athan worked, and issued terse, in
clusive orders to Mrs. muiips and
the boy's mother, "I notified the
police ... and the Dexter family."
; "Good." said Jonathan. .
' The youngster was unconscious.
He had a broken ler. Whether or
not there were internal injuries
could not now be determined. Jona
than made the initial examination
and said, rising. "Ill get him to the
hospital well have an X-rav." He
looked down at the white face, the
faded freckles almost as bright as

Inman received the t r 1 d as an
award to her as queen of the In
dependence hop fiesta last fall.
they would be in summer, against
it He did not know the bov: evi
dently they were new neighbors of
the Phillips. The mother said, sup
pressing her tears, "He'd just been
skating. ... I never thought any
thing would happen to him. ..."
She was a spare and fragile woman
and, Mrs. Phillips whispered to him,
a dressmaker by trade, a widow.
"Hell be all right Mrs. Enders,"
Jonathan told her cheerfully.
As for Larry
He. too. was unconscious, or had
been. Now he was coming around,
blinking at the lights and saying
with weak truculence, "Oh, it's
you," as he recognized Jonathan.
As far as Jonathan could determine
under the circumstances, there was
nothing much wrong with him ...
a gash across the cheek from the
windshield glass ... bruises ... a
wrenched arm.
The police and Senator Sutton
arrived simultaneously, and the
knot of neighbors standing in the
cold night air at the Phillips gate
whispered among themselves. Sut
ton strode in followed by Anson,
Chief of the Riverport police. "Well,
what's aU this?"-he demanded. "Oh,
so you're here. Kim. glad to see you.
. . . Larry . badly hurt . . .? We
must get him to the hospital Im
mediately. . . . His father isn't
home, or Phil, and his mother is on
the verge of collapse so I "
"He's not seriously hurt" inter
rupted Jonathan, and felt a most
unprofessional sorrow that such
was the case, "but the boy he hit
may be . . . I'm taking him to the
hospital at once. I've fixed up the
cut on Larry's cheek ... Ill take
a look at him later, if you like"
"What boy?" For the first
time Sutton seemed to see the En
ders youngster. He was conscious
now, wide eyes, almost turquoise
owe ana very, round, fixed on bis
mother's face, white lips trying to
achieve a twisted sort of grin. ''Oh
I see . . . Hit him, did he. . . ."
He frowned. .
Anson stepped forward. WhDe
he was questioning Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips and calling querulously for
witnesses, Sutton pulled Jonathan's
sleeve; ''Just a moment" he said
and jerked his head toward the ad
joining room. Jonathan followed
him in. He said impatiently, "I
have to get the boy to the hospital
IH talk to you later."
."Look," said Sutton, ."we've got
to get this more or less '.smoothed
over. The Dexter's will be glad to
settle the youngster's medical bilL
of course. But this isn't Larry's
first accident ; Of course,' we dont
kaow how it happened, the roads
T and the boy may have been
blinded by: the lights4 i . . how
ever". . ." -
"Larry was drunk," said Jona
than bluntly, "he reeks of whiskey."
"I hope," said Sutton, ."that you
wont feel called upon to testify to
that"
"Of course," said Jonathan angri
ly, "111 testify to it if the occasion
arises."
"It would be better for you if you
didn't" warned Suttoa.
"I'm sorry," said Jonathan, "but
huffing and puffingwont make me
change my mind." He found himself
grinning, tingling a little, delighted
to have the prospect of a fight on his
hands. He turned away, "Not that
III be called upon to do much testi
fying." he added, "as the Chief of
Police will see that the entry on the
blotter is just what yon want it to
be."- -
"Why, you confounded" began
Suttoa furiously. . t
"Quite," agreed Jonathan, and
went to the door to call th
balance driver and bis helper. In a
very short time he had not th m.
ther in the car with the boy. "Take
it easy," he told the driver. "Ill be
seeing you."

Winnipeg Market Collapse
Traced to Offering of
Russian Traders
CHICAGO. July 7.-P)-An ex
tra sharp break of prices at Win
nipeg, ; almost 7 cents from an
early high point, made the Chi
cago . wheat market rule lower
late today. :
. Cables said Russia was offer
ing wheat at quotations on a par
ity with United States hard win
ter grades, and that overseas mer
chants! &re Inclined to believe
1937 crop damage so far ttf North
America has been more than dis
counted by price advances. Ex
port purchases today both from
Canada and this country were vir
tually sero.
Transient upturns 6f wheat
prices! here were associated with
word !of; further enlargement of
drought damage districts in Can
ada and with excessive heat in
domestic; spring wheat areas.
There j were also official reports
confirming heavy black rust dam
age td wheat in various domestic
winter! crop states.
At the close, wheat futures in
Chicago were cents under
yesterday's finish, July $1.23
1.23V!. 'tSept, $1,247,-1.25,

&-!down, Sept. 39U-, and
rye varying from 1 cent decline to
advance, Sept. 90-90. Pro
visions results were unchanged to
15 cents higher.
The condition of wheat in Sas
katchewan province, Canada, was
unofficially estimated to be only
23 per cent of normal, -and Al
berta 63 per cent. This was con
strued as Indicating Canada's
1937 icrop will probably amount
to but 150,000 bushels.
December wheat in Chicago
showed the most setback here, and
from b top of $1.29 receded to
a low of $1.26, but closed at
$1.27T1.27.
Complaints of dry weather in
parts of the corn belt caused stop

Dairymen Seeking
Equal Cream Basis
Southern Oregon, North'
California Groups to
Hold Conference j
SALEM, July 7-iP)-Soutbern
Oregon and northern California
creamery operators will meet
July 20 at Crescent City wit M
agricultural officials of the two
states to place dairymen of the
two states on an equal basis re
garding cream prices, J. i i D.
Mickle, chief of the division of
foods and dairies, said today.
Mickle said an effort will be
made to persuade northern Cal
ifornia creameries to comply with
the Oregon law in their purchases
from Oregon dairymen.
Oregon farmers who now sell
to California creameries obtain
better prices because those cream
eries do not have to comply with
the Oregon law, more strict than
that of California, Mickle said.
This places farmers who sell un
der the Oregon law at a disad
vantage. Representatives of creameries
from Josephine, Jackson, Cooa
and Curry counties in Oregon,
and Del . Norte; Humboldt and
Modoc counties in California, will
attend the meeting.
Oregon at Disadvantage
The differential also places
Oregon operators at a disadvan
tage because producers, would
rather sell to California cream
eries, Mickle said.
"We are getting good results
from the new dairy law without
placing any burden on the farm
er or operators," he said.
"We are requiring the farmer
to take better care of his milk,
with the consumer benefiting by
a better quality of dairy pro
ducts." Make Loop Trip
JEFFERSON. July 7. i Mr.
and Mrs. W. L. Cobb and son
Clair Cobb, accompanied Mr.
and Mrs. Rex Cobb and son Pean
on a trip over the holidays to
Bend and Redmond. They went
over the McKenzie highway,
stopping over night at The Sis
ters, and returning home over
the Santiam highway.
