Bend—The Northern Sweet Wa
termelon, reported as being so ear
ly that growers are warned to
wat.'h for ripe melons nine to 10
weeks after planting, is being tried
out by C. W. Green of Tumalo,
as a demonstration trial in coop
eration with
County Agent
Gus
Hagglund. In addition to being ex
tremely early, this variety it al
so reported as being quite frost
proof, and it is destined to be
come very popular in Deschutes
county if it lives up to these ad
vance reports, as danger of frost
makes the growing of melon, even
for home use, very hazardous in
this county, Mr. Hagglund says.
Dallas — The largest planting of
irrigated Ladino clover in Polk
county is on the farm of W. T.
Hoffman nort .east of Independence
where 35 acres in a series of three
or four fields are irrigated from
two pumping plants connected with
Ash creek. Mr. Hoffman uses this
as pasture for his herd of 40
or more Jerseys.
Roseburg — The
third
annual
Douglas county lamb show will be
held at Roseburg, June 15, sponsored
by the Douglas County Livestock
Growers, according to J. Roland
Parker, county agent and secretary
of the organization. Premiums to
talling more than $150 are being
offered for the various classes,
with the committee in charge au
thorized to increase the premiums
or extend the awards if the num
ber and quality of exhibits jus
tifies. Sheepmen are being urged
to exhibit only the highest quality
fat market lambs, and to show
none weighing over 90 pounds, as
lambs over this weight are gener
ally discriminated against by buy
ers at ftiis time of the year.
Corvallis— A total of 3585 cows
on test in five dairy herd im
provement associations of the state
during April produced an average
o f 695.2 pounds of milk containing
33.73 pounds of butterfat, accord
ing to the official report just re
leased here by the extension ser
vice. Of these 1459 produced more
than 40 pounds of butterfat each,
and 17 culls or “ boarders” were
disposed of during the month. The
Coos Bay association made the
highest record for the month with
33 herds averaging 37.43 pounds
of fat, and C. H. Woodward of this
association had the high herd, with
an average o f 84.4 pounds of fat,

import as he stepped to the sand.
He stood still a moment, listening,
and then called sharply:
“ HI, T im ! . . . You, T im !”
No answer, and again a prem
onition o f trouble went crawling
along bis spine. He called again;
still no response.
