' I i t I ! i I i Afeu; Faces Many; 273 Counted in Twenty Minutes Two men stood upon a prominent business corner Inst Saturday after noon talking for a few moments. They were dlscusolng politics nnd were engrossed In a much-mooted political Issue. Their talk drifted from the pleas unt October day to the desire for a little rain to settle the dust, next to county division and the recent world's series. They were kept dodg-1 Jug about the sidewalk from the! hulldlng to the guru to mr.kc roomj for psstorsuy. i There were a large number of j ladles on the street Saturday after noon.

The fact was called to his attention by the other man. "Don t lou lecognlze your f i lends?" he asked. "Yes, sure, those I know." replied tho older resident. "Mean to tell mo thr.t jou know only about flvo out of the fifty, at least, who have passed by hero In the Inst ten minutes?" "That's about the way It stands," came tho reply. "A )ear ago It scorned as If I knew most nil the people In town by name or by sight, but the number I know peronallj oi ly sight now Is getting smaller, It scorns to me." The older resident raid that he had boon In a Rood many towns that were growing rapidly, but never In his life had he been r. rosldcn. of n placo where such remarkable chtnges were going on in such n Blioit time as llend lias been experiencing In the last ten months. "I don't see whore tho town puts them," spoke up the older resident "Of course, I know that there are many new buildings going up nnd tho like, but " "Do jou realize thr-t at least 200 now resldonres have gone up In tho town In tho last onr."

"I'll bet jou," said the older resi dent, nfter lie had made his count, "that there are over 2,000 people In llend who have become residents of this town In the ln3t twelve months." "Don't belive that I'll call jour bet," said the other. BERG TO MEET JOHNSON KmoUer Will llo Held at the HlpMi. drome, October -II. John llorg of Spokane, former world'n champion wrestler, nnd 1. A.

A lUanohnrd.) l.nst week the Crook county agrl cultuilst carefully Inspected the demonstration plots on the dr laud plateaus southwest of llend. These plots were In tho nature of a co operative test of various varieties of the hardiest plantH that it Is thought will grow In this altitude The seed wub furnished by the agriculturist, the rahhit-prnof who by tho county, and the work performed by the co- operator. Mr. nianchard visited the Mtlllcan countrj, where P. O. John son conducted flvo acres of demon stration bordering tho Ilend-Uurns road. The outstanding feature of Mr. Johnson's plot Is the excellent stand of alfalfa, sweet clover nnd bromc grass procured. All of these plants stood up welt against the frost nnd, being pre-eminently dry land crops, make very encouraging pros pects for the farmers of this section. Itoth the Grimm nud Haltlc varieties of alfalfn were at least 12 Inches high, having been sown this spring In cultUntcd rows at tho rate of one pound per acre, after tho suggestion of the agricultural college. The field pens made n growth, but were nipped by tho frost Just before be coming mature. Tho Cnrleton and Cossack varieties stood up best and Mr. Johnson Is confident that peas will make him a good ciop to 'hog off." Frost l,lmlt. A. S. Fogg, who runs tho demon stration plot at Hampton, deserves credit for the effort put forth this season. Mr. Fogg ns he likes to cooperate with the agriculturist nnd Is u big-hearted man, anxious to help the country to develop and as sist new farmers. On account of tho early frost In August most of the cropB were caught. Mr. Fogg planted winter and spring Kminer, llaart and Kharkov wheat, Sixty-Day oats, Carleton ami CosBack peas, Swan neck barley. Haltlc alfalfa and sweet clover. On account of unusual heavy and hard winds, most of this stuff wns cut off before gaining much growth. However, tho wheat and oats showed uniiBiial signs of prom ise, tho llaart wheat being well filled. Mr. McKay, the demonstrator at Itlvcrs, left the county, leaving no records. Farming' Possibilities. The region known locally nB tho "High Desert" In Crook county offers some hard problems to the fnrmers there. This country Ib a high plateau lying around 4,000 feet above sea level, visited by late spring and early fall frosts, with frosts almost every month of tho year. The other dif ficulty which limits farm efforts Is tho rabbits and sage rats. These ro dents prove to be a serious factor which hampers the farming of the region around Mllllcan, Hampton nnd Hlvers. It- has been estimated by experts that tills plateau land Is supplied with a stratn of moisture averaging 20 feet below the surface. Hy proper methods of moisture con servation It Is believed no hard strata separating the surface moist ure from that below can be dissolved In time and the moisture below made available. Rye, Is a sure crop, which, together with some of the dry land forage crops of the hardy varieties, ought to make this country an attraction to settlers. The frost cannot be controlled, but the variety of crops that will withstand the frost can. Proper methods of dry land farming will Insure good crops. The only serious obstacle Is the four footed pest which must be extermi nated. The county agriculturist, to gether with the United States Dio loglcal Survey, will give every pos sible assistance to the farmer. on tho market Monday. There was a couple of loads of prime hogs.
