COPPER CARBONATE BEST SRT PREVENTATIVE AS FLAPPER MENACE REAL ON SHEEP RANGE SAYS BARRATT (Oregonian Hotel Column) Forty members of the Royal Arch degree, Masonic fraternity, enjoyed a six o'clock dinner at Hotel Patrick last Thursday evening.

Mr. McAlee accompanied Ihem to Arlington to see them safely aboard the overland train. For some time it has been known by many farmers and county agents that the use of bluestone on seed wheat ad a preventative of smut has a tendency to weaken the vitality of the seed to the extent that a consid erable percentage of the wheat will never get throughitha ground. Last fall County Agent Calkins In duced Cerl Bergstrom to give the matter a fair trial on his Elghtmile ranch which was done by sowing a strip of ground with seed treated with the copper carbonatein Mr. Bergstrom's field right along side wheat that had been treated with the bluestone solution. Mr. Calkins reported to the Herald yesterday that he visited the Berg strom place recently to see what the result had been so- far and was a little surprised at the marked differ ence between the two strips when he first, came in sight of the field. The copper-treated seed showed plants very much larger and more vigorous than those on the blues'tone-treated strip and by actual count it was found that 40 per cent more of the copper-treated .seed produced plants. Mr. Calkins brought home a number of plants from both strips and has then! pressed in his office where any one interested may see them. The plants from seed treated with copper carbonate are fully twice as stocky and much, taller than those from the seed treated with bluestone. "The feminist movement has made inroads oa the sheep, r.nd young ewes are regular flappers," observedW. B. Barratt, . a sheepman of Morrow county and member- of the highway commission Mr. Barratt, who has been busy lambing, arrived In Port- r HARDMAN , land yesterday to considerthe award ing of about $800,000 worth of road jobs. "The sheep business doesn't look very good just now," said Mr. Barratt. "The lambing on, the range Is only about 60 per cent, which is very low, the reasoni probably, is the long cold winter, which bas affected the animals. The old ewes are all right ,but the young ewes refuse to accept their lambs; they decline to shoulder any maternal responsibility and run away from the little things. The consequence is that when the them the appearance of wearing their skirts high and displaying theii shanks like the flappers. About the next thing we can expect from these young and modern ewes islthat thejr will refuse to follow the leader, as they have from the days when i Jacob was a sheepherder and each one will" want to 'live its own life' and 'ex press its own Individuality,' and, may be, go chasing around with coyotes. I dunno what's got Into the crea tures." r" And a day or two later Judge Dut- lambs have bean neglected the first ! ton' got in the way of a Journal repor--two days by their mothers they die ter at the Imperial and put up the fo' and the range is covered with dead flowing defense for the ewesfnd tells lambkins, victims of maternal indif- j why Barratt said it if he did: Mr. and Mrs. James Carter went to Pendleton Saturday where he will enter a hospital and undergo an op eratoin for mastoid trouble. Mr. Carter suffered from a severe attack of grippe last winter, the trouble set tling in his head and the present con dition is the result of that illness. George McDuffee accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Carter to Pendleton to as sist them on the trip and be present at the operation. Mrs. Floyd Tolleson was a passen ger to Cecil Saturday morning, going down to bring home her two children, Floyd jr. and Lelah, who had been, vWiting at the Hynd home for sev eral days. Mrs. Tolleson was chap eroned on the trip by Misses Doris Mahoney, Violet Hynd, Thelma Mil ler, Willeta Barratt and Hazel Ander son, who were week end visitors at the capitol of the banana bolt. Ab Miller, who was acting as a commit ter of one to see. the young ladies off, tried to horn in and get his name in this item but our sociyar fooled him this time. George I. Burnside, of Rood Hill paid a visit to the high school last Thursday. Mr. Burnside visited the U. S. History class where he gave an interesting talk on the World's Fair at Chicago. Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte, Countj School Superintendent, Mrs. Tom Johnson, county nurse and Mr. Star key visited Hardman schools on Fri day. They attended, the U. S.

And the following day am unnamed "Judge" Dutton of the Heppner colony takes exception to a statement attributed to W. B. Barratt that his sheep are affeced with modern ideas sheepman got himself interviewed by Bind that the ewes of the younger gen- the same reporter and enlarged on Barratt's story by making the follow ing gra ve charges aginst the j recti tude of the flapper ewes: "I see," said a sheepman, "that W. B. Barratt, of Heppner accuses the ewes of becoming imbued with the modern spirit and refusing to own their lambs. Well, Mr. Barratt did n't tell all. The ewes are now losing the wool off their tlegs, which gives eration are shirking the obligations of maternity by refusing to nurse their young. "Nowhere in the world," says, Judge Dutton, "will you find the maternal instinct stronger than in the flocks of Morrow county. There are no flappers among them. I don't believe Bill Barratt said it. If he did he was indulging in poetic license. You know he Is like Silas Wegg he sometimes 'drops into poetry."

Most of the winter killing that has been observed in Morrow county during the past winter is found in the Bluestem fields. Bluestem is a true spring wheat. Although many of the spring wheats will live over winter, yet we find it is frequenly necesary to re-seed because of winter 'killing where spring wheatsjare used. Many farmers even in the Bluestem I reporter section of Morrow county have stated that they 'had sown their last blue Stem in the fall and are now looking for a good true winter wheat to take Its place. In many of the deep soils Hybrid 128 should prove to be a mighty good substitute, a little far ther north the Turkey-red undoubt edly is the best winter wheat. Al though some are looking to Forty fold, its use is to be discouraged where any other wheat can be used because of its poor milling quality and the fact that it shatters badly if not cut immediately as soon as it is ripe. Many are enthusiastic bver Blue stem because of its fine milling qual ity, and because of the Bpleindld yields which may be obtainedlin good seasons. But the heavy losses occa sioned by winter killing every few years offset most of the'good advan i tages. "All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy." !
