Mr. Hughes has recently sold 820 acres of his land holdings to l5r. M. B. Tay lor of Portland and was in town to complete the deal. He expects to leave soon for Klamath county where he hopes to secure farming land "n the Tule lake district just over the line in California. It is said this land raises the most enormous whe^t crops of any land known. The lands are located in an old lake that has been drained within the last few years and last year raised more thsn 100 bushel of wheat to the acre. Six people were injured and two cars completely wrecked Saturday night on the overhead crossing at Dillon when a touring car driven by I. H. Scheer of Kent was struck head-on by a light truck driven by J^sse Goin of Hood River, Accord- to Scheer, the truck came up onto the right-angle turn with such speed that the driver was unable to hoid it on the right side of the road. In the touring car were Mr. and Mrs. Scheer, Mr. and Mrs. F. L- Fritts of Grass VaHey, and two small children, all of whom were cut and bruised. Dusens of Observer readers are truly grateful iot thoughts that prompt many persons to phone in sews Items. The DaPee Optimist said last week that very few gleams of encourage, me At have penetrated through the over agricultural conditions sine« the war and one of them have appeared in th« form of millions of little white worms which have been raising havoc with “Jim Hill" mustard in this and other eastern Oregon coun ties. \ Supt. D. E. Stephens said that the identity of these new intruders is yet a matter of conjecture and even the small moth which it eventually becbmes is ns yet unclassified. What tactics these new pests intend to fol- destroyed is also a question. So far Mttle damage on other crope is expected as most of the worms are in a process of pupation by this time and are being eagerly consumed by their natural enemies.Lady b^s and small wasps seem to be relishing the tender morsels which they find wrapped up in cocoons on the mus tard piggl^ * * /. Ah infestation of this kind is us ually short lived and altho generous in numbers fer perhaps a season are usually reduftsd to approximate ob livion by parasitic insects within a very short time. The only information we have to offer is that the situation is not yet alarming but rather one of enlight enment. We trust it will continue to be so. The known habits of the new mustard worm is that it seems to eat only the leaves of the mustard plant, thereby retarding its growth and hindering the mustard weed to grow seeds with which to reseed it self for another season of battle with farm weeding machines. Wheat Nursery Results Pleases Farm Station Supt. D. E. Stephens returned the first of the week from Wasco county ¿rhere he held meetings, demon itrated the work, and inspected the results of the wheat nurseries main tained and operated by the Experi ment Farm near Dufur and near Friend in south Wasco county. At the Dufur nursery there were iome good demonstrations of differ ences in winter hardiness of winter varieties, none of which were reseed ed. - The nursery» at Friend' had crops of barley, wheat and oats and also field peas, flax, vetch and kale. A wheat nursery is also main tained in Morrow county near Lex ington where Mr. Stephens held sim ilar meetings the last week in June, and on July 7th at a wheat nursery in Gilliam county near Condon. Win ter wheat varieties at both these nurseries were frozen out snd exper iments were made with spring grains field peas, barley, oats and some flax. Notwithstanding the fact that farm ers are already growing too many verities of wheat, they are always on the alert for those that are higher yielding or have other good qualities Some, of the recent developments ilong this line are the smut immune wheats and sho white turkey wheats. The work st Mprp station is very much the same as is done at the .nurseries in ths adjoining counties, >nly on a very much larger scale. This year more than 7000 varieties of wheat have been grown experi mentally and the results of various methods of summer fallowing and crop rotation and the records with which known factors are determined will be of extreme interest to. all farmers who desire to make their efforts and work count largest at the termination of the harvest year, The federation varietiee of wheats grown so extensively in eastern Oregon this year, is a product of Moro station from a head of wheat received at the station several years ago and propo- gated and crossed with other vari eties that had desirable features which were wanted by fanners for commercial wheat growing. At the present time the Moro sta tion has several pew varieties of wheat that are being propagated for seeding in definite localities in Ore gon, including south Sherman coun- :y. Some of these wheats have been jnder experimental growing for several years and are just reaching the point where they can be growr by farmers with assurance of attain ing the yield, smut resistance, wind frost apd heat resistance, that is at times much wanted and desired by farmers. Three of these new wheats are 40 fold-hard federation, 40 fold- hybrid 128, and 40-fold-f«deration, all of which are very promising hybrids. Two motor ear accidents w».»e rumored around town last Sunday, but neither has been reported to traffic officers. The first was a col lision between two can at the rail road crossing south of town. The second was a collision between n Ford and heavier «ar north of town. the Ford running into th« heavy ear and being upset as v the later was turning around. . Dick Reckman and son Dick Jr. were in Moro on Wednesday having special machine and lathe work done at the Foss & Co. machine shop. Mr. Reckman was changing the Jackson feeder on his stationary machine from a side to an end feed, which made necessary some special fitting gears. He expected to begin harvest in shout two weeks. S. P. Brisbine, who has been visit ing relatives in and near Hillsboro since his attending the pioneer« re union at Portland last month, is ex pected home late this week. July 15th he expected to attend a reunion of his brothers and sister at Dundee at the home of his younger brother on the brother’s birthday. Three generations will be present at the reunion and, best of all, all four children of his parents will be able to attend. Art. Smyley and daughter Fran ces, from Bradenville, Iowa, were visiting in Moro during the week on their way to Seattle to visit a son and brother. Mr. Smyley has always lived in the easterh states, but wae a visitor to Moro 28 years ago since which time he has seen a remarkable growth to Sherman county. Mr. Smyley is a brother-in-law of R. J. Ginn and brother of J. E. Coleman, Mrs. R. J. Ginn, and Mrs. M. L. Hoskinson. He is also a nephew of Jas. Woods. ■ a CHANGE OF OFFICE LOCATION OF THE Farmers Elevator & Supply Co From and after next Monday, June 15th, the office of the Farmers Elevator & Supply Company will be located at the Farmers State Bank.
