Forty members of the Royal Arch
degree, Masonic fraternity, enjoyed
a six o'clock dinner at Hotel Patrick
last Thursday evening. Those pres
ent say the dinner called forth many
compliments for Mr. and Mrs. Dean,
managers of the Patrick, who left
nothing undone for the comfort of
their guests.
O. W. Swaggart was" 'here from
Pendleton during the week looking
alter business interests. Mr.
Swaggart is an old time resident of

couple of years ago. He says Mrs.
Swaggart, who was struck by an auto
and seriously injured some time ago,
has completely recovered.
Rev. Father O'Tlourke, former pas
tor of St. Patrick's parisli here,
now iji charge of the Catholic church
work at The Dalles, was a visitor Id
Heppner for a few dr.ys during the
week. Father O'Rourke was a most
popular; citizen while a resident here
and has many warm friends in
Heppner, bothnvithin and without
Ills own faith.
Mrs. Arthur McAtten and little son
Arthur jr., left Monday morning for
Michigan where they will spend sev
eral weeks visiting her father, Dr.
Culberston and other relatives and
friends. 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.

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

A party was held at the home of I

Barratt's story by making the follow

"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

(By C. C. Calkins.)
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.
