In small number of fires, an:! none of which were Important, the past i season of the Crater national forest j was a record-breaking one. There were only 77 fires within the forest confines, and two in immediately ad joining state territory protected by the forest service. The total acreage burned over was 807.68 acres, and the total damage caused amounted to but $763.14. Continued open weather, with or dinary summer temperature, has work ed the strawberry plants in the south ern coast section overtime, and grocery stores in many sections of the country are still displaying straw berries for sale every day of the week. Such reports come from all the towns. The quality of the berries i3 said tc be quite as high grade as in Uie sura mer time. Heavy marketing of a comparatively light crop of potatoes Is an outstand ing feature of the November crop re port of the United States bureau of markets and crop estimates, released by F. L.

The Oregon potato crop estimate declined during the month of October and the 1921 production Is now placed at an average yield of 90 bushels per acre on 43,000 acres, or a total of 3,870,000 bushels. Salem hop dealers received a tele gram from the Cunard Steamship com pany to the effect that English auth orities had Issued an order permitting the export to that country of half of the hop contracts held here.

Conference was held Saturday be tween the state highway commission and government officials relative to projects made posslhlp hh new federal aid mad bill. The highway commission will have to submit a primary and secondary road system to the secretary of agriculture for tha latter's approval. Oregon will receive about $2,405,000 from the gov ernment for road work, part of which must be expended on primary roads and part on secundary highways, and a portion Is to be devoted to the con struction of forest roads The Farm Bureau can become an agencj through wliioii the ousinoss and social needs of any community can be taken care of if the people of the particular cora.uiunity only take enough interest in uu.r organ ization. The work which have bec.i done by some of the local Farm Bureaus for the past year has been particularly interesting and worthy of note. At Boardman the farmers are handling all of their local problems through their Farm Bureau. Among the later development is that, of organizing a Farm Home Associa tion. They have also lined the farm ers up on the Dairy proposition and as a result four cars of dairy cattle have been purchased. The Irrigon, farmers have also been busy and among other things we quote Mr. Glasgow as secretary for this work which arc Worthy o! r.ole. Coal prices there were exhor bitant, they established buying con nections, and delivered coal at Ir rigon at $11 per ion which was $. to $4 less per ton than local price,';. This was a means of bringing the local price down within reason and no further shipments were made. Last year they purchased a car load of corn from Iowa for local con sumption, and just now are negotiat ing for a car which probably will be shipped by the 20th of November. This corn will not cost them laid down at Irrigon more than $25 a ton which makes a reasonable priced feed. The Farm Bureaus hold monthly meetings, are well organized, and are getting results ov.i; i,;onth of the year. There is no reason why there should not be a live Farm Bureau organization in every community of Morrow county. Every other indus try is organized and as farmers we have some difficulties as far as get ting together are concerned, but we might as well make up our mind to overcome them one time as another With good live community organiza tions which insures a real live work ing County Farm Bureau even the three lions which stands in the way of American agriculture as designat ed by Mr. Mansfield, as marketing, transportation, and finance, will be overcome and agriculture will re sume in its forward march. Application blanks for 1922 licen ses have been mailed by the Secre tary of State to all motor vehicle owners in Oregon, so as to permit them to apply for and receive such licenses before January 1, 1922. MpCDr vehicle owners will avoid much trouble, annoyance and unnecessary delay by promptly applying for their 1922 licenses upon rec... of the ap plication blanks. Deferring ap,..., ,.i for licenses until about the first of the year only congests the work of the Secretary of State's office and may result in the arrest of the car owners by traffic officers for failure to have the 1922 licenses on their cars after January 1st next. License plates for 1922 will have a yellow background and black figures and letters Up to the present time during the year 1921 there have been registered and licensed in Oregon 613 motor vehicle dealers, 6,436 chauffeurs, 1 78,620 motor vehicle operators, 3, 106 motorcycles and 116,609 pas senger and commercial cars, from which the total license fees aggregate $2,ai9,307.

You have read of the cowboy in the midnight watch lul labyihg the restless herd to (inlet tide, it has been let! for a sheep sheperd to drum the flock to the range and back again. Mr. A. Levy employed by M. Marshall as herder Is an ar dent "to be" trap drummer. Drum practice tends to viborate the even ing lamp light, and Mr. Levy hit on the plan of range practice. Sheep, like people, must go thru the crux of the melting pot, Different airs ef fected the sheep in different ways. For instance, when Mr. Levy struck up "The Campbells Are doming" the Scotch Shropshiros were all at : en I ion. When he played "The Wearing of the Green" the South downs were all alert, but when he played the l'lster Anthem it took seven herders and twelve dogs to separate the mass. When Yankee Doodle was struck up passable do portment of the band was observed but the black sheep, Trotsky and Lenine, were heard humming the Marseillaise, To you and , music as well as food is part of life. Why not sheep? If music will make finer fleece, broader shanks of cutlets possible bankable assets, why no' sheep music?
