Naomi Moro v*. i The annual Chrismas lull has begun when activity on so many fronts ceases until after the holiday. Christmas is on every mind, on that of the boy who wants a pair of skates, the child who will be overjoyed with a tractor, the girl with some thing to decorate herself, and the older ones with expectancy of some remembrance from others long accustomed to ob serve the time. To ffee business stop/ for a week or two would be cause for alarm at any other time while at Christmas it seems appropri ate that all should pause in the usual attachment to affairs of profit for a week or so and pay attention to more noble things. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ to whom we look for the spiritual guidance that lifts us out of wordly mat ters and makes us not mere' physical beings who tample out the corn but men and women with ideals to uphold and res ponsibilities to carry on toward ourselves and our Creator. ear We add our voice to the chorus calling for abiding hope and Meets every second and fourth Thursday in each month; visiting members invited.

Pinkerton, Secretary E u re k a MOKE WHEAT IN EERM TIME The Portland’ Oregonian and the Farm Journal have both had articles recently which give the general opinion that by the use of enough nitrogen wheat growers of the Pacific northwest and especially the Columbia basin can produce a crop every year. The summer fallow -system may be doomed, is the general tenor of the stories. * It is true that the summer- fallow system does not save all the moisture that falls on the land in the „two year period. Poor summerf allow saves very little of it, in fact. For that por tion of the Columbia river basin that lies close enough to the Blue mountains to get up to 20 inches of rainfall per year it is probable hatNvith applications of fertilizer a crop could be grown every year. In the pea district around Ath ena farmers can now take a crop of peas, one of wheat before fallowing, making a three year 1 rotation. *■ i Success of these tests In year ly cropping has been found be cause moisture conditions in re cent years have been better than average in this area. Not all years have been wet ones, but the moisture in the soil in the fifth and sixth foot ha‘s been above average and that is often the test of a successful crop. In much of Umatilla county nitrogen has been the limiting factor in the production of wheat. That is true when the rainfall is in excess of 15 inches or an amount near that figure. • In the greater part of the Columbia basin the rainfall is be tween 10 and 12 inches and un der such conditions rainfall is the limiting factor and all the nitrogen in Muscle Shoals will not grow a crop of wheat with out moisture. SYearly cropping would surely rq^liiN the deep soil moisture so much that no satis factory crop would grow’. It is true that one of the bene ficial results of ’fallowing is to keep some moisture. Fallow in the fall should have moisture within two to four inches from the top of the ground. Cropped land should be dry for two or three feet unless rains ha\e been very plentiful There should also be more moisture in the fifth and sixth foot in fallow'. It is very nice of reporters to come in and tell us how to farm and some of them, may have some good ideas to . contribute.
