PRISES IN ATHENA
J. N. Scott Tells of Wheat
l Farming - and Yields
I 3 Around Athena.
Joseph Scott sends ' the Press J the
following interview which appeared in
the Morning Oregonian of recent date.
. "Although, my residence has been in
Pendleton since 1919 I still have
warm feeling for my old home town
of "Athena. My farm which includes
my father's and my grandmother's
homesteads, lies within four miles of
Athena and I have spent the summer
there personally, assisting in harvest
ing the wheat crop. Athena with
population of 520 is one of the sub
stantial communities of Oregon. Situ
ated in the midst of some of the most
productive farms in the -Northwest,
its wheat shipments for the 1929 and
1930 crops will amount to over one
million bushels. The Farmers Ele
vator, a locally owned concern, this
year received 450,000 bushels -of wheat
which at 1500 bushels per car would
make S00 carloads. One day's de
liveries from the harvesters to the
elevator amounted to 28,500 bushels.
The Preston-Shaffer Milling Co. oper
ates a modern electrically driven mill
of 550 barrels daily capacity. This
mill receives direct from the farms
more than 100,000 bushels of wheat
annually, besides heavy rail shipments
and during' this year ending June 30,
1930 shipped out 650 carloads of
flour and feed.
'I "The wheat crop is harvested , by
motor driven machinery and moves
from farm to railroad in bulk in
trucks over paved highway and
graveled market roads. The heaviest
yield was reported by Sheldon Taylor,
129 Vi measured acres made 58, bush
els per acre. Many fields ran from 40
to 50 bushels.
; "The Eickhoff Products Corp. of
Walla Walla raised this year 3000
acres of beans near Athena, and in
their ow cleaning plant in Athena
will handle this crop as well as some
50 carloads grown in Walla Walla
county. This concern has disbursed
in Athena" this season in wages and
rents $20,000. The bean growing oper
ations were under the management
locally of M. W. Hansell, prominent
Athena farmer and sportsman who
three years ago in competition in
Portland with expert shots from all
over the Northwest won permanently
the 'valuable Multnomah and Dayton
trophies.
"The Washington-Idaho Seed Co. is
'.nstalling a" pea sorting and grading
plant to handle the crop of peas
grown in the tAhena vicinity and rail
shipments from the Palouse country
and as far away as Bonners Ferry,
Idaho. This plant it is said will give
employment to 46 women and girls
for several months. , 4-(
"In a financial way Athena and the
surrounding country is served by The
First National Bank of Athena, a
strong and ; conservatively managed
institution with " deposits ' of more
than $700,000." ,f
Road From McDougal to -Tollgate
To Be Finished
Graveling of the six-mile stretch of
highway from Camp McDougal to
Tollgate, a federal forest project, will
be completed within a short time and
another step finished in the develop
ment of a highway system across the
Blue mountains to Elgin from Wes
ton. With the completion of this sec
tion of road efforts will be renewed to
obtain construction of a portion of
the highway outside the federal re
serve and in Umatilla county. If this
work is done a graveled road will be
opened to the top of the mountains
and work can $hen be pushed down, the
eastern slope. ' ' J ;, ' , ' '.'
i This highway, covering ' ground
traveled by hundreds of early pio
neers, would shorten the distance to
Grande Rrande Ronde valley and the
Wallowa country and open that sec
tion to commerce with Walla Walla
and Pendleton.
Hunter Is Killer
Molalla. Deer hunting claimed its
first victim of the season in this sec
tion of the state Monday when Victor
John Kokel, 16, was accidentally shot
and killed while, hunting in the vicini
ty of Twin Buck camp about 30 miles
south of here. Be was in company of
Barney Helvey and Dick Howland,
who planned to be gone for several
days. . Word of the tragedy was tele
phoned from a lumber camp late Mon
day afternoon by Helvey who had to
tramp five miles through the brush.
Bert Logsdon and F. B. Radtke will
leave Sunday for a two weeks hunt
ing trip in the Miram country. They
with a guide will pack into the moun
tains and make camp and hunt in the
turfovai&ng co'uatry. , 1 "
0. S. C. Entomologists
Say Infestation Next
Year Might Kill Trees
Oregon State College. The appar
ent killing of the oak trees in the Wil
lamette valley, which has been causing
considerable comment -and much con
cern is due, says the entomology de
partment of this college, to the activi
ties of the caterpillars of a moth as
the oak looper. . ,
The caterpillars consume all but the
ribs of the oak leaves, completely de
foliating the trees and causing large
areas of them to turn brown and sear
as if swept by fire.' These pests have
appeared off and on for several years,
entomologists say, but never have any
infestations reached the magnitude of
the present one, and if they occur in
large numbers next year it is unlikely
that the trees will be able to with
stand the attack, as two years' de
foliation is usually fatal to broad
leaf trees, "V
In Bnswer to inquires from orchard
ists, the state college specialists say
there is little danger that the insects
will attack fruit trees, as they pre
fer their natural food, the oak leaves,
although they have been found feed
ing on various wild shrubs along the
roadsides after the oak leaves were
gone. '. '
Very little can be done in the way
of control of these pests, it is believ
ed, as the expense of spraying the
trees would generally be too great ex
cept where ornamental or - valuable
shade oaks are being attacked. For
such cases a spray consisting of three
pounds of lead arsenate to 100 gallons
of water has given good , control
where applied early,, says the depart
ment.
In some situations, however, much
can be done right now to reduce the
caterpillars because of their habit of
collecting m immense numbers at the
top of fence posts, where they can
easily be destroyed by spraying the
masses with kerosene.

Nineteen Firms Enjoined :
Charged With Violating
Sherman Anti-Trust Law
San Francisco. Nineteen oil com
panies operating on the Pacific coast
perpetually were enjoined Monday
from nxing gasoline prices by agree
ment. The injunction was issued in
United States district court by Fed
eral Judge A. F. St. Sure with the
consent of the ; defendant oil com'
panies.
The decree was a result of a United
States suit brought against the com
panies last February, charging them
with conspiracy to monopolize and re
strain interstate commerce by -fixing
the retail price of gasoline in vto
lation of the Sherman anti-trust law,
The decree pecifically restrains the
defendant tt "nnips from carrying
out the conspnticy charged and from
entering into similar agreements in
the future. It restrains them from
conducting their business pursuant to
any agreement to eliminate competi
tion. Further the companies are for
bidden to refuse oil to retailers be
cause the retailers refuse to sell it at
prices approved by the companies.
A. C. Gaire. Here
A. C. Gage, editor and publisher of
the Angora Journal of Portland was
a visitor here Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Gage recently gave a radio talk over
KFEC, his subject being "Mohair," He
describes mohair, the fleece of the An
gora goat, as a fibre which is as old
as the Bible, but which is as yet un
known to the average American
householder. "Mohair is not camel's
hair and it is not alpaca," Mr. Gage
explains. "The value of mohair lies
in its tendency to shed dust and the
remarkable ease m laundering. Mo
hair in Arabian means 'clean' and
'select.'" .
Man Promises To Buy the
Entire Idaho Potato Crop
Boise. E. D. Gessner of New York
telegraphed the Idaho state chamber
of commerce he was coming to Boise
to begin buying all of. Idaho's pota
toes and many carloads additional.
The message was the second ad
dressed to L. F. Parsons, secretary ef
the state chamber. In the first one
Gessner asked to purchase 35,000 car
loads of potatoes in Idaho. He was
advised the state produced normally
only about 20,000 carloads, but was
invited to come out to investigate.
In reply he asked the chamber to
"notify all growers and shippers to
hold all potatoes for me. Can increase
the order. .Will leave for Boise in a
few days."
Secretary Parsons was in a quan
dary over the situation, but professed
willingness to show him as many po
tatoes as possible.
, Oregon Gains In Farms

10.1 per cent in the number of farms
was second only to South Dakota
which increased by 1J.4 Per cent in
states thus far reported In the farm
census. A census bureau announce
ment gave the Oregon state total as
55,259 farms as against 50,206 in
1920, a gain of 5,053 farms, The
greatest gain In per centage was in
Columbia county, which now has 1,667
farms as against 991 in 1920, a gain
of 68.2 per cent Josephine county
which now has 1,167 farms gained by
60.5 per cent.
Fire Danger Decreases .
, Major John p. Guthrie, assistant
regional forester, said Tuesday that
the danger of forest fires has decreas
ed materially throughout the entire
Pacific Northwest. "The whole re
gion," he said, "is in excellent condi
tion from our point of view. Virtual
ly every bit of timber land has been
thoroughly soaked by rain and we do
not look for any more fires."

Receipts of National
Forests Bring Large Sum
A gain of more than 7 per cent over
the preceding year, receipts of the
country's 149 national forests totaled
$6,751,553 for the fiscal year ending
June 30, according to the annual
statement of receipts as announced by
the U. S. Forest Service at Portland.
The major portiqn of. the year's
receipts came from timber sales, graz
ing permits, and special uses, such as
rentals of summer home and resort
sites. Although the bulk of the re
ceipts came from national forests in
the western states, largest compara
tive gains were made in the eastern
and Lake States regions. Of the total
revenue, 25 per cent will be allotted
to the states within which the nation
al forests lie. These allotments are
paid annually to the states in lieu of
local taxes, and become part of the
counties' school and road funds. An
additional 10 per cent of the total re
ceipts is used by the U. S. Forest Ser
vice for road building in the national
forests.
Sales of national forest timber in
creased as a whole last year, but rev
enue from Washington and Oregon
decreased by $322,047 due to light de
mand for government timber and this
region dropped to second place. Re
ceipts for . the California national
forests' amounted to $1,637,340, a 15
per cent gain, as against receipts of
$1,371,596, a 19 per cent loss, in the
North Pacific region. All timber sold
on the national forests was cut under
Forest Service supervision under
management plans looking to future
crops of timbeer on the same lands.
