Lexington, Ore., Jan. 14,
To the EdifO'-: I wish to fxpress i"y
opinion and Lave oiln r.s express
their observ.'-.'.'cirs of a certain vvt
that made Us appearance in Morrow
conn 1 y sn!i:- l.i.- rr.; ago.
calley by many 'Jin "hu:rj-up"
grass. This gra i- inui-h 1:1: Hi
red lop, and is rapidly sproajin-.;
over the county. In the past. tw
years it nas spread irto Washimioii.
It has a very light seed that is car
ried by the wind, and spr.-ad.-s ovei
the country more rapidly than an;'
grass or weed that has ever shown
up in eastern Oregon. Will if. prove
a benefit or detriment I have ob
served its spread and noted its
growth and effects in the Hold.--, par
dens and range. Will give K.")ie o)
the benefits that the sloi-k men will
be benefitted by its api-.iranco. Tiii-n
I shall give my opinion of tin; dam
age it may prove to the farm"-;.
I find that all clash's of ttocl;
readily eat it, and thai, i: comes ear
ly in the fall and spring, a il l chat it
makes good light hay that slock
readily eat and if pastured close wil1
continue to grow rapidly till l-.i.; in
June, and will keep at least six head
of stock where the bunch gra.vj would
keep but one. This grass promises
to revolutionize the stock industry in
eastern Oregon. It forms a son in
less time than red top, Ijlimgivss or
any tame grass known to me and it
is my opinion it will cause the farm
er more work and' cultivation to rid
the lields than any obnoxious weed,
not excepting the Russian thistle or
Jim Hill mustard. I have great, fear
of this grass taking the alfalfa lields,
gardens and small fruit or viaifls, .111 1
will require three or four times the
work in I hem to keep tins t'rass from
seeding.
This grass made its appearance six
years ago ni Blackhorse section and
two years asro they cut the field, or
much of it, for hay. That was sum
merfallowed and seeded to wheat. In
the fall the grass had taken it.
The better the land, the better this
grass grows. On the light soil it
grows as rthr grasses and vegeta
tion grows, and takes the moisture,
rapidly from the soil and other grain
or vegetat ion.
I will hope to hear from farmers
and stock men, and particularly fom
our county agent, Mr. Hunr.
I am undecided whether to try a:id
protect the wheat fields and continue
to raise wheat at a greater loss and
cosl, or let the "hurry-up'' grass
have its way, and turn in more stock
and let them grow fat.

1920 IS GONE
And with it has gone our profits, as well as yours. The past year
has been a hard one for everyone alike. The farmer and stock
grower had to take immense losses and so did we.
WE HAVE TAKEN OURS Our inventory has been taken
and the losses crossed off. We are not going to say how great
they have been they were enough.
WE ARE GLAD IT IS OVER.
Every article in this store has been reduced regardless of its first
cost, and marked right down to and below its present worth on
the markets of the world.
Let's forget 1920 and get together and push for a successful
and prosperous 1921.
We cannot do it all, and neither can you. But if weall get to
gether and push, and push hard, things will come out all right.
COME IN SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO MAKE
1921 PROSPEROUS FOR YOU
