Harvest Help.
Tho harvest help situation has not
changed materialy in. the last ten
('.ays. Quite a number of men are
coming in, a good share of whom
make good. A majority of the crews
r.ro working steadily, although oc
casionally short one or two men,
altonether the situation is very fa
vorable. Many farmers have ex
pressed their surprise at being able
to cecure help with so little difficulty,
very seldom has it been necessary to
v.ait more than two or three days
1 elora the needs were supplied. The
va'.uo of thorough organization and
t .r.derstunding among farmers is very
apparent, being responsible entirely
for the small amount of shifting
t'bout cf help during the season.
Many operators report little difficulty
in keeping their crews and only in
one or two instances has there been
any reports of one farmer hiring
help away from another. In viewing
the results of this season's work, one
cannot help but ask the question,
i" co-operation and organization
work so well in the labor situation,
why would it not work even better
in other lines of farm work?
Clyde Wells is out again after a

SMUT CROP LIGHT
Such is the report made by Messrs.
Bell and Kerns of the Oregon Agri
cultural College. These men work
ing under the supervision of the De
partment of Plant Pathology have
spent the past week in co-operating
with the County Agent checking up
the amount of smut to be found in
the county.
In speaking of their work in this
county they stated that they had
found the fields freer from smut than,
in any other place. They also com
mented on the splendid spirit of co
operation they found Among the far
mers of Morrow county. This spirit
of co-operation and desire to better
their condition accounts for the good
work done by the farmers in this
county. A detailed report showing
the condition of smut is being pre
pared and will appear in the near
future.
Prof. H. H. Hoffman, who has been
in charge of he Heppner schools for
several years has accepted a similar
position at Kennewick, Washington.
Mr. and Mrs. John Brosnan were
in from Lena Monday. Mr. Brosnan
recently returned from a tri;i to
Kansas City whore himself and
associates marketed a train load of
beef cattle to vory good advantage.
Dillard French and John Carter are
now in the East with another train
load In which Mr. Brosnan is Inter
ested and he anticipates good returns
from this shipment also.
County Commissioner George Cur
ran left for Gresham Sunday morn
ing where he expected to spend a
month or so with his family.
Wheat harvest is well under way
and most farmers report very satis
factory returns. The wheat is
mostly of first-clnss qually and the
prevaling price combined with the
big acreage and he fair yield, will
make the net returns a record
breaker.
The Government wajts three men
from Morrow county who are in
Class 1 to go to the Benson Polytech
nic Institute August 13th, for in
struction as auto mechanics, black
smiths, carpenters, electricians, ma
chinists, plumbers and sheet nietol
workers. Those interested report to
Local Hoard before August 6th, and
save being drafted.

Child Killed by Auto
Glenn Freeman Sharp, young son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Sharp of New

Wednesday morning when an auto
mobile in which he and his two small
brothers were playing ran away down
a hill and turned turtle over a steep
embankment into the canyon. The
other children escaped with but
slight injuries.
The car belonged to Percy Hughes

the Sharp place to look after some
harvesting operations, and left Ills

The children got into tho car to play
and releasing the brakes in some
manner, the car started down the In
cline at a rapid rate with the result
that it turned over the steep embank
ment. Little Glenn was caught be
neath the car and his head crushed,
death resulting instantly.
The boy was nearly five years of
age and his sudden deatli is a hard
blow to the parents. The funeral
