Emory Hughes and son were busi
ness visitors in Moro on Wednesday
from their home in the Finnigan dis
trict southwest of Grass Valley. 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

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^ *

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. ■
