idea Is to charter a boat from Lo An

rate at present is $15.80 a ton. The

The content of the cake will be 40 per
cent protein and 7 per cent fat.
Wallowa county is the heaviest user
of this cake In this part of the state,
the growers there using the concen
trated food as a supplementary ration
for stock run on winter range. Its
light hulk in proportion to It feeding
value make It the Ideal feed for use
on the winter range on account of th
lessening of transportation charges to
the feeding grounds. Other sections
using quite a lot of the, cake are thr
I Heppner and ll-Vho districts. Some Is
' used by men whose headquarter are
In Pendleton, but this district does nn
require as large an amount as the
other section. Wallowa county usu
ally requires about 500 ton.
If there in sufficient demand from

Hoke asld thl morning that later an
order might be placed. The selling
company guarantee to protect the

There i a probability the next

bee keeper a-s-ciuti"li nlll be
, I'cM in Pendleton, in December.
The last session was held at Sa
leiii ami it is desired to hold the
next meeting in Eastern Oregon
as commercial honey raising Is
confined more to this section
than to Western Oregon.. The se
lection of the meeting place rests
with the officers, A. .1. Sanford
of Redmond, being president and
If. A. Stillen, secretary-treasurer.
Mr Sctillen thinks Pendleton
will be chosen for the. meeting
place. There will be about 100'
growers In attendance. At the.
present time this comity ship
about 20 cars of honey annually.
Not only does I'matllla county rank
first in Oregon in the production of
wheat, but it ranks first also in the
production of honey. So says H. A.
Scullen, O. A. C. bee specialist who
was In Pendleton this morning on his
way to Freewater to hold bee culture
demonstrations.
Other Oregon counties m.iy have
more bees than has Umatilla county.
Mr. Scullen states, but bi-e keeper of
this county are good business men and
the actual amount of honey produced
Is greater than in any other part of
the state.
Most of the bees in this county are
in the east and west ends and deieni
mostly on alfalfa blooms for their
food. Early In the spring they feed
upon willow and maple, later on dan
delions, other wild flowers and fruit
blossoms, and still later on alfalfa
blooms. This bloom- Is most essential
and may make or ruin a honey crop,
Mr. Scullen states. There Is a com
plete failure in the Ontario arid Cald
well resrlon because weevils have de-
i
stroyed the alfalfa crop, the specialist j
ays.
Mr. Scullen was accompanied to
FYeewater today by Fred Bennion,
county agent. The two will visit Her
.miston apiaries on Tuesday. On Mon
day, Mr. Scullen will visit Heppner
beekeepers.
SUGGESTS AUTO PLATES
FOR ADVERTISING CITY
Do Pendleton people want metal
plates with the town name thereon for
use on their cars, thus advertising the
city, a3 numerous northwest towns are
now being advertised? If so the op
portunity to secure the plates 1 open
through a visit here by A. F. Marsh,
secretary of the Ellensburg Chamber
of Commerce.
Mr. Milrsh is placing orders for the
plates, which are very attractive In
nnnenriinee nnd desires some local or
ganization to take the matter up. The '
publicity committee of the Commer
cial Association has approved the
proposition hut has suggirted that the
matter be handled through the Auto
Club. The plates sell at $1.50 a pair
and there is a profit in the sales for
the prsanlzutinn handling them.
According to Mr. Marsh, the auto
plate .ciea originated .at Ellensburg
and he is now on a two months leave
