He flew his light plane over the Moore . bouse, about three miles south of Moro, and buzzed his en gine to attract attention, then cut hi» motor and glided in close to shout the news of the newly repaired washing machine.

D . ° f ^ 8 in No one acquainted with the tounty and appearance of wheat crops now expects the 1944 crop to equal those of any of the three previous years. Conditions over the United States are sa d to be better than usual. That is not true of this county. Fall wheat that was sown early last fall—before the big rains— is often very weedy, so weedy that yields will be cut. Heavy stands in some cases have already used the meisture and small yields will result, especially on weat and south slopes. It has been three years before the discouraging sight of widen ing yellow streaks in wheat fields could be observed. This year the shallower slopes are already turn ing and the draws are showing that they will not produce much wheat. Had rains of last week material ized in good quantity as the clouds promised a better than average crop might have been harvested Instead the wind chased the clouds away. Now a crop of average size is all that can be expected- There » , however, more acre» of wheat than for several years and if a yield of 18 bushels is obtain ed (about the average) we will probably have in excess of 2.000,- 000 bushels, based on present con ditions and with normal weather from now until harvest ’ A few really hot days, which we have been promised by long distance weather prophets, would make the prospect» less bright The Fifth War Loan is on, and indications are that Sherman coun ty will complete Abu work of sell- ig its quota of >179,010 in short er time than usual. The coming harvest makes this ahnoet neces sary and bond solicitors In most esses are determined to get their work done as soon as possible. Clarence Sparling jumped the gun a day by selling about >10,- 000 worth of bonds Saturday af ternoon and, with Merrill Oveeon, added to that amount before going home to do the chorea A meeting was held at Grass Valley Sunday and moat of the men who have worked on pervi ous drives will again solicit ir that territory. Among them are Art Schilling, Tom Garrett JCd Alley, A. A. Dunlap, George Wil cox, L. K. Smith and Harold E s kin. A t Kent the American Legion is taking the lead in’ l^* -«RoRa- tlor. and Commander Ted BnH of George Bell Post has appointed Frank von Borstel and J. E. Nor ton to head the committee. At Moro Art Bucholtz and Col- lis Moore mill have much ‘ the same territory as before and it is loped that other workers will also respond. Ch-mend Hilderirrand and Art Smith will cover their territory again aa will Claude Coats and George Potter. The quota for the popular E bonds is >WS,0M, which b larger than before. During the last drive the county did not raise its quota of other than E bonds in the in dividual classification but it Is thought probable that this will be possible this time. Word from headquarters is that the corpora tion quota will be raised before the deadline although few sabs have been reported to local head quarters. Klondike Elevator Power Line Building A new power line that will con nect with the main Pacific Power & Light line at Wasco and run to Klondike to give power to the rew elevator be ng constructed there is being built. All the holes have been dug and the poles laid out for setting. Farmers along the line will probably hook on to cbtain current. The elevator is getting nearly to its full he:ght and the instal- Ution of machinery has begun. Te is expected to be ready for harvest and unless something un fortunate happens it probably will be in use within a month. OPA Reports That Fuel May Be. Scarce Fear that some of the citizens cf Sherman County will go cold next winter, unless they order and take delivery of their Aiwgood and coal for , the year immediately, was expressed today, by the OPA. Indications are that while stren uous efforts are being made to avert any firewood or coal short- age, federal authorities charged with the responsibility of keeping Pacific Northwest homes supplied with fuel are gravely worried as to whether a critical sho r t l y of these two fuels can be averted. “Increased use of mill waste as raw Tnaterial in manufacturing end increased distance of sawmill» from fuel markets has cut dowp the supply of firewood. “Between two-thirds and three- fourth» of the coal used here is shipped in from the Rocky Moun tain states. The railways *€• crowded and with increaaed in tensity of the Pacific War will be more so. Mines are ahorthand- ed. “For their own sakes, I hops all people who beat their homes with firewood or coal wiH heed tWa w am ng and get their fttel
