/ Supt. D. E. Stephens, of the Ex
periment Station, returned Thursday
morning from Pendleton when; he
wm called by the Pendleton commer
cial club to discuss the advisability of
establishing an experiment branch
station near that place.
It is pro-
foeed to inagurate the station with
private funds and later be assisted by
state appropriation.
Crop rotation
instead of summer fallow is the ul
timate desire of those interested in
having the station established in Um
atilla county. Mr. Stephens reporb
having seen wheat fields in Umatilla
county with standing grain six feet
high and thick enough on the ground
to please any farmer. He also said
that there was 100,000 acres of
federation wheat in that county of
which about 30,000 acre« was hard
federation, all of which is looking
fine.
When visiting over night in Moro
this week, two ladies from the Wil-
lamettte valley had their tresses
neatly trimmed by Joe Truitt at the
Main street tonsorial parlor. They
' said they had been always so well
satisfied with Mr. Truitt’s painstak
ing efforts to please that they waited
until they reached Mojo before hav
ing the work* done.
Sheriff Hugh Chrisman was offici
ally informed by J udge D. R. Parker
thia week that there would be no
special term of the Sherman county
circuit court this month. Mr.Chrisman
was not informed as to the change of
plan to try cases now pending before
the court, but is of the opinion that
no extra Rrm will be held before the
regular session in November.
Edgar Alley of this city and John
ny Rolfe of Grass Valley will leave
this Friday for a months vacation un
der army pay at the Camp Lewis
military training camp.
A number
of boys from Sherman county had
signed for the trip, but these two arc
the only ones to finally go. Most of
the boys who had intended going to
the military camp had to remain at
home because of the possibility of
harvest starting earlier his year than
usual.
