HOW 11 PENDLETON BOY MADE GOOD
This article is from the CitizeM-Star
of Fort Worth. Ti xas, anil was writ
ten by Garfield Crawford, formerly of
Heppner. The young man mentioned
is L. R. McBee who has a ranch at
Cecil. l
To pay 15 per ae ro for .1 d'soarded
and wornout stock ranch was consid
ered a vry foolish investment by the
wise heads of a community. However
this was done and the purchaser Is to
day Independent and has a snug bank
account.
When the young man purchased
the 16.000 acre ranch consisting of
sage brush and sand hills, with about
100 acres of It on the bottom to be
converted into a meadbw, the question
of how he expected to ever pay out
was considered by all of his neighbors
It wa. thoroughly discussed and in the
majority of cases the decision was
rendered, "Can't never do It." The
young man paid no attention to the
neighbors or those who sought to give
him advice 'that he was going it a
litle strung." but went to work to
carry out the ideas that he had In
mind.
A creek runs through this ranch
and the first move on the part of the
young farmer was to repair an old
Irrigation d.tch. fix up the dam and
to get water out on a small patch of
alfalfa that had been planted several
years before. This alfalfa had been
own on the ground and harrowed In
and left to do the best it could. If
it grew, all good and well; of not,
It made no particular difference to
the former owner. He had a email
acreage cleared off below the house
upon which a little bunch of wheat
hay could be raised to pull the cattle,
through the winter Alfalfa was
not the best hay, anyway, was the
con nen bus of opinion by cattlemen
in those days. But the newcomer
thought differently and after getting
water onto the growing alfalfa he
started a crew of men to work grub
bing sagebrush, following up with

plows, scrapers and levelers. The main
ditch was enlarged so as to carry
more water from the creek. Small
laterals vi re put in on the new land
and that fall tbout eighty acres of
wild land was In shape to be planted.
This system was followed out from
year to year until the entire 300 acres
of bottom land had been converted in
to .an alfalfa field.
It was a little more than ten yeans
ago that this young farmer settled
n Willow creek in Oregon. Today he
is free from debt, goes and comes
when so desires and has all the lux-
urles of life. But these luxuries did
not come Immediately upon the
hee.'s of the completion of the work
of establishing an alfalfa.farm. There ,
was much work to follow to make this t
farm an institution of permanency. ,
There must be some way to dispose '
of his crop so as to derive the highest
income. At that time there was ,
not enough to create a direct market
and he could not afford to take the 1
chances of shipping It to Portland, j
Seattle or Spokane markets, as hlR
supply was limited, and for that rea- '
son he would have to take whatever
the brokers saw fit to give him. His
way out was the beet way.
The banks were lending money In
the fall of the year o'n cattle and sheep
security. He went to the bank !
and went back Into the interior of ;
the state and bought cattle Just off
the'summer range. These cattle were j
driven out to his ranch and there fed
on alfalfa for sixty and ninety days.
They were topped off on alfalfa and !
then loaded oboard cars and placed !
on the Portland stock market. In this 1
way he was able to sell his hay at &
figure from $16 to J20 per ton. He j
followed the market closely and al- ;
ways made an effort to have his cat
tle on the market at at time when
they would command the top price.
Obstacles presented themselves, but
these he met In a fearless manner. In
the late sumer the creek went dry

and In the e.-uly .spring it "would
overflow, doing much darrftige to
h s fields These adversities must le
contrniled. Brush along the creek
hank caught floating debris . which
formed dams, causing the overflows.
This was leaped away and in many
instances the channel was enlarged
a n.l straightened. These improvements
gave him more land and did away
with the overflow damage under or
1 nary circumstances, but the water
for his third crop was not to be had.
lie fell upon the idea. "Why not irri
gate when the water is plentiful?"
'nil sat about to regulate his affairs
to that condition. In the early sum
mer water was plentiful and at that
time he proceeded to soak up the
land in a through manner. He didn't
allow the water to stand on the field
any length of time, hut kept steady at
his work of irrigating. The Idea pro
ved a success and is now being fol
lowed by hundreds of farmers in that
territory.
As soon as the weather permits In
the" spring, springtootli harrows are
run over the fields, thus stlrrng up
the plant and soil, forming a loose
dust mulch on the surface which is to
conserve the moisture In the late sum
mer. Manure spreaders are put In use
and the dumpings from the barns and
food racks are consumed to restore
and enrich the soil. He adapted r a
system and followed It.
His neighbors raise alfalfa, 'in fact
every rancher on Willow creek, which
is more than sixty miles long and
farmed from the 'head to the mouth,
raise this great forage plant. Some of
them feed It to sheep, some to cattle
and a great many bale and ship. An
nlfalfa meal mill has been established
on this ranch and the demand for al
falfa today is far greater than it was
ten years ago.

I William Wolff Smith. Correspondent.
Washington, D. C.)
Washington, II. C. Information
reaches Washington that the Ttemscn
Board Is prepnring to report that
sulphur is a harmless preservative for
dried fruits. Its conclusions will be
based on a series of experiments sim
ilar to those it conducted with ben
zoate of soda. Students, carefully se
lected because of their healthfulness
I have been fed on sulphured fruit, to
gether with many other things. They
have gained In weight; ergo sulphur
fruit is the real stuff for students.
This question is of great importance
to California because of Its large dried
I fruit Industry and Prof. Alonzo E.
Taylor, of the University of Califor
nia, a member of the Remsen Board,
has this matter in charge.
The favorable attitude of the Rem
sen Board toward sulphur, following
it. famous findings on benzoate of so
da, predicates similar favorable find
ings In behalf of saccharine, cop
peras and alum. It takes some time
for the board to make its experiments
and tabulate the results, which work
is compensated for at the rate of $2C
per day per member engaged.
Consequently decisions in these
matters are not expected very soon,
hut as the methods employed are the
same as in the bonzonte case, and the.
interests concerned are similar, the
results can be accurately predicted,
Cnls the Remsen board Is to pro
duce favorable results for artificial
i preservatives, etc., there Is no excuse
j for its existence. Congress enacted
in pure-food law and acting under it
i.iil sorts of preservatives and iidul-
t. rants were prohibited. These in.
j lii'iilions eajne from the highest con- ;
i -titut'-d authority under the law; and
! to secure a reversal of this adverse 1
j;ttitiii!e it was necessary to create iin i
i extra legal body, never contemplated!

when two servants obtained the same
total of ten on the first throw. On
the second throw, however, Ellen
Reeve threw a double six, making a
total of twelve, and she was then
presented with a cheque for 11 pounds

also presented at the meeting.

When thousands of women say that they have bee
cured of their ailments by a certain remedy, does this not
prove the merit of that remedy ? .
Thousands of women have written the story of their
suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for thirty
years these reports have been published all over America.
Without great merit this medicine could never have
gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills
never could have become known and prized in nearly every
country in the world.
Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that
which will restore her health? If you believe those who
have tried it you know this medicine docs cure.
Read this letter from a grateful woman, then make up
your mind to give Mrs. Pinkham's medicine a chance to
cure you.
