The pastors of the Baker City churches will ask the women In their congregations to lemovo their hatu, w'ufu i her brglu the Eervit.cs on Sun day, Jaiuinr;. S and will make an ef fort to Introduce permanently this custom, which has been so long de layed. The fact that women wear the same hats to church and theater Is ouc teasou why the Baker City pastors have decided to make this innova tion. Tho wide and high head gear hides the pastor from view as he stands in bis pulpit, and It has come to the knowledge that a sermon has lut little effect on the person who carnot see the minister as he speaks. Other Eastern Oregon towns are expected to lend their support to the Baker City ministers In their efforts to make church going more satisfac tory through the Introduction of this custom.

The ranch In question is the Blue Mountain Ranch, 15 miles from Echo on Butter creek, owned by W. W. Cotton, H. F. Conner aud Georgo Stevenson, with Georgo Klinbnll as foreman, The land Is tho typical sago brush land of tho Echo district, sandy and warm, but absolutely unproductive In Its original state. On this farm up 03 acres of alfalfa, at the present time. Three crops were cut from iho Und tbo past season, and ft total of "04 tons of hay was cut In tho throe harvests, although most of this wan cut In two crops, as tho third cutting only yielded 80 tons. This enormous amount of hay was prcduced by ono thorough flooding of the land In March, when the waste water In the creeks was plentiful ami not another Irrigating was given the land during the growing season. This is an average of tons per acre for the year and tho price re ceived for the first cutting wag $5 un1 ton. for the second, $8 per tou and for the third cutting, $10.50 per ton, averaging $7.83 per ton, at 7V4 tons jier acre or a total income per acre for tne 93 acres in cultivation, m about $09 per acte. The total cost of Irrigating this tract of land was $200 for tho sea son, and the cost of stacking tho hay was 70 cents per ton, Including tho first cost of the stacking outfit, maK Ing the actual cobt of caring for tho hay about CO cents per ton, or $350 for the crop. This, added to $200, the cost of Irrigating the crop, makes a total expense of $560 for tbe crop, and an income from tho 93 acres :U $59 per acre, amounting to $5,487. The othor incidental expenses, taxes, depreciation of ImprovemcntH aud othor noccssary expenditures Vould probably reduce this net In come to $5,000 for tbe year on a faim of 93 acres. The owners will reclaim more and moie land each year as fast aa possi ble, as the longer the original tract is Irrigated, tbe more land is reclalmod by sub-irrigation and tho easier addi tional reclamation becomes. No reasonable prlcu would be fixed by tbo owners for land producing such Returns, and this quality of land in tbe ICcho d str ct has practically no fixed market value for tbo reason that the owners will not sell. The raw land, In the native state, Is worth from $5 to $10 per acre. WHAT 8HEEP DID. Worthiest Land Converted Into Farms Worth $80 Per Acre by Their Fertilization. A man in Cass county, Michigan, bought a run-down farm five years ago. Its fertility was so badly ex hausted that iven the beans for which tbe Wolverine state is famous, could uot be grown profitably. Ho took tbe advice of an expert, put 't In rtss aud clover and began feeding Western sheep. A jocr ago the sod was broken tip on a 40-acre tract and corn planted lust M'rtng. a few days since the crop was run through a busking ma t, 1904.
