REMOVE HATS IN CHURCH.
Baker City Pastors Will Make a Start
In This Custom on January 3.
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.

EMARKABLE RETURNS
FROM BUTTER CREEK FARM.
lue Mountain Ranch of 93 Acres
Averages 72 Tons Per Acre Last
Year, Which Sold at $7.83 Per Ton,
or an Average Yield of $59 Per
Acre More Land to Be Reclaimed,
One of the most remarkable Instan
ces of the productiveness and profit
of Irilgated land In tho Butter creek
district is found In tho record of one
Butter creek alfalfa farm for thu past
year.
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

crop was run through a busking ma
