We hear a whispered fear now and then about the land banks and what they must do with the owners of farm land if their pay ments are not met with promptness this fall. A few seem inclined to believe that these loan companies will institute wholesale fore- closures against the property they have loaned on. Others, anr they are in the majority, think that farmers will be given time U work out their indebtedness. . - It ia with the majority we agree in this argument. In cast the land banka did foreclose on farms and take them under theii control what could they do with them? They would have t< have them farmed to get any return from them.. They couk not hire them farmed successfully fur this absentee farming has always been a failure in thia county as many of the oldest resi dents can teatify. In case they were resold it would have to be at a much lowe> price than they were held when the loans were made and in man> cases the sale price would be less than is now loaned against the farms. Renting to inexperienced farmers or selling to men noi accustomed to management of large wheat acreages would jTesuh * in loss. The handling of farm land is a job that requires much experience and training and the loan companies are getting the ad vantage of the beet of such experience now. They are getting the entirefincome from the land, with the ex ception of very meager running expenses. The payment is ofte> raised by the application of other incomes the farmer has eomini to him from another source. The story is told of a man who cam* to this county expecting jo get control,of some^of this mortgage* hnd and make his fortune raising wheat. After learning some thing of the knowledge needed to operate a farm in this county an- the expense attendant thereto he departed, satisfied that if thu- who knew the game were in financial difficulties it was no job To an amateur. • It would be better policy for the land banks to give what ar possible to the farmers in the fight for better prices. Perhaj with the combined intelligence of the Farm Board, the farme- «x *■ ■ .and these banks some plan could be perfected that would be so* easeful in using up the surplus or at least reducing it to mor . modest proportions. > * IF I HAD A MILLION.

In addi tion to stock and' horses from that county, there will be exhibits from other counties, and the agricultural exhibit will be up to the usual stand ard.

With the return of cooler weather at Hood River, fruit growers believe that the heat wave has passed for the season and a second thinning of sun burned fruit will be made. Recent estimates place the Hood River valley fruit crop this season at 1500 cars. Many persons met to dedicate the new co-operative creamery in Union recently. The building was dedicated by the Rev. E. Lee of Union; Little Opal Mae Stringham of La Grande broke a bottle of milk, as he pro nounced the words that christened the creamery.
