Jamison. A small patch of clover was planted about a year ago by Ike 131 an n on Mountain Creek to see if r3t1 clover wna hardy enough for that section, The crop this year will run better than two tons to the . acre and may make three. ; ! ' There is considerable alsika clover being planted in the county and it is probable that over a thousand acres have been seeded to timothy and alsika this spring. Most of this is making a good stand and in several places it is taking the place of rye.' Mr. E. L. Potter has beeni in the county the past week figuring out the cost of beef production in this, section. He has charge of the cattle fattening experiments at Un ion and is secretary of sever al livestock associations. It is; found that there "is con siderable difference in the cost of producing steers on the various ranches and that there, isn't the profits in the paM a business that are gen erally supposed. ; ; .' This closing of the open range ard , the high price of land ' are making beef cost more money and it is a real problem to find some meth od , of .reducing costb and se curing better prices. SCANDAL . Would you like to know ' (without trying, we hope) a tested1 receipe for scandal? Here it is in the words of a ' discriminating obs e r yer : ''Take a grain of falsehood, a handful of run-about, the same quantity, of nimble tongue, a sprig of herb back bite, a teaspoonful' of don't-you-tell-it, six drops of mal ice and a few of envy. Add a little discontent arid jeal ousy, ard strain thru a bag of ' misconstruction, cork up tight in a bottle of malevo lence and hang it out on a ekein of street yarn ; keep it in a hot atrnospheye, shake it occasionally' for a few days and it will be ready for use. f4et a. few drops be taken before, walking out, and. the desired results will follow." Biblical Recorder . Notwithstanding' the re port that Baker County would tako no action in the matter of making the survey for" John; Day Highway thru that , county, at a meeting of the County Courts of urant and Baker, held jointly at Austin a short time ago," the Baker County Court assured the people of Grant county that an appropriation would be made covering, the ex pense of survey thru that county, .The survey has De- gun under the management of Engineer Scott, and it will be completed and estimates furnished the State Commis sion by the first of Novem ber, YOUR FAIR.
