Calkins) A summary of the results obtained from the experiments conducted in the State of Washington with copper carbonate for the, control of smut have practically all been in favor of the dry treatment, v A report coming from the State of Washington indi cates that here Was a high percent age of stout generally spaking throug out their entire area regardless of the method of control used. The state pathologist rendered a summarized re port, a copy of which was sent) to the Morrow county Agent. The summary of the results in Washington show the different method cf treatment: No treatment -. 19 per ct. Bluestone , 10 per ct. Bluestone followed by lime bath 11 per ct. Formaldahyde 11 per ct. Formaldchydo followed by lime bath ,. '. 10 per ct. Copper-carbonate (dry treatment) w....7 per ct. It will be noted that a high per ctttage of smut was obtained in every case. Even the copper-carbom ate treatment, which was the lowest, contained altogether too much smut. The Patholigi&ts feel, however, that it has given the best results this last year and that this average can be cut down by machine treatment of the grain so that it will all be properly done. Reports from Washington' County Agents' reveal the fact that they are ordering copper-carbonate in ton j lots to fill orders for fall treatment. An order has been placed for copper carbonate by the Morrow County Farm Mureau and Just aa fast as or ders from farmers are received ac companied by their checks, their or ders wil lbe placed on file and filled a3 ordered. cigarettes They are GOOD! HARVESTING ABOUT OVER IN MORGAN DISTRICT Harvesting and threshing was about over in the Morgan ni ighbor h'ood when the Herald man took a shcrt trip through thai section last week. Threshing was in progress' on the Palmateer ranch and would be fin ished Friday. W. F. Palmateer and his son, W. G., own 1400 acres of fine wheat land down there and they know how to raise whe-.t. While tho crop is shori this year because of the hot wave early in July it averages well for thes eason. Mr. Palmater and" his son and son-in-law, Mr. Mor gan, headed and stacked their grain this year and thres. ed with their own machine. A big Holt "Cat" is used to drive the separator and they hav3 power to burn. A crew of t.n men is all the help required for thi-etJhing and the w irk goes along without a hitch. Mr. Palm-.teer has acquired and paid for his land from the profits mai'.e raising wheat on the ranch, is out of debt and has mcney in the bank, he uses the cat for plowing and turns nine 16-inch furrows each round. Ho says it may cost a little more than horsepower but that it is more than overcome by go;ting the plowing done early in the season. The "cat" never Gets tired as horsqs and mules do. Mr. Palmateer said, 'When we get behind with the plow ing the old cat will work night and day without a murmur. SHE MUST BE A "WET" A lady applicant for a teachers' certificate who took the examina tion In Heppner recently, made an ex cellent showing until she reached civil government when she answered the question: "What is a budget?" "A budget is something to protect the prohibition act." And the question, "What is the Volstead act?" she answered thusly: "The Volstead act is disloyalty to the UnitF.j States or speaking or acting against the government." LAST GA1P RANCH IS MODEL COUNTRY KOI The Last Camp, owned by Minor & Krebs, at Cecil, is one of the many pleasant 'and profitable ranch homes, the hospitality of which has done much to make Morrow county famous? for a big-hearted, open-handed lot ol people. The Last Camp is owned by C. Minor amd the Krebs brotherh, George, John and Henr as partners and besides being one of the most hospitable places in Oregon to strike about meal time or bed time, it is a fine business proposition and a money-making plant. It was the writer's good fortune to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mr; George Krebs recently at their Last Camp home and the occasion was a mighty enjoyable one. The home i; spacious anl well appoint.) 1 with all modern conveniences including its own water and electric lighting eas terns. The ranch is primarily a stock and alfalfa farm where two or three bands of sheep as well as some hogs and cattle are wintered and kept through lambing season and where 1200 or more tons of alfalfa hay are put up every year. But the Krebs brothers are not satisfied with raising only something to keep their live stock fine and fat. They also grow for their own u abov.t everything in the fr i!t and vegetable line this latitude produces'. On the occasion of the writer's visit Mrs. Krebs and her assistants s-erved a supper that was good enough for any king or president on earth and every item, on the bill of fare, meat vegetables, fruit and dessert,, with the exception of the sugar nd bread was a product of the Last Camp fields, ordehard and pardon. And that's the kind of a ranch that pays in any country an 1 also the kind that furnish s a lot of real Joy of living. The Krebs brothers had recently finishi d pu'titig up their se-.oiiil crop of aifjlfa and while waiting for the ihird crop to mature they are putting in their spare time cleaning up and leveling a lot more fine lai.d which will bo added t o their alfalfi acreage next year. 10 STUDY AGRICULTURE Plans to give disabled war veter ans of this district taking training on their own land projects special winter courses at state agricultural schools of Washington, Oregon and Idaho were formulated this week at a cinfrrence of United States Veter ans' Bureau agricultural supervisors held in Seattle. A total of 230 ser vice men receive ?80 to $135 a month each while establishing themselves onsmall land projects and 500 others p.ie taking agriculture along various lines. The. training supervisors of the northwest district i loo recommend tnat war veterans arry on diversi fied farming rather than specialize in the production of one thing on the grounds that it is miore profitable and a safer investmnet. The veteran should have at least $500 in cash be fore taking up land for himself, it was voted. Announcement was made that the project trainees are paying approximately half of their govern ment compensation toward land pur chase. Vocational training of disabled war veterans will hereafter be accepted by the Civil Service commission as meeting preliminary requirements of Civil Service examinations, accord ing to announcement made by L. C. Jesseph, northwest district manager of the Veterans' uBreau. This move on the part of the com mission means a great deal to vet erans who hav ecompleted their vo cational training courses, Mr. Jes seph stated. More than 900 vet erans have completed training in this district and many of them are now unemployed, it was announced. A total of 3,300 are taking training at the present time. PILOT ROCK EDITOR IS REPOR TED MISSING (East Oregonian) Where is Jean Kirkpatrick, pub lisher of the Pilot Rock Record? Members of the newspaper man's family, his friends and others are seeking some trace of the man who has been gone from home during the past 10 days'. The motive for his disappearance if he left voluntarily, or the cause for an attack against hiin, if he nu)t with foul play, are not known to his friends, according to statements secured today.. One report is to the effect that Kirkpatrick was in straitened finan cial circumstances and may have de parted to get away from the burden of his obligations, but this theory is scouted by his friends. The Kirkpatrick family, which consists of Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick and a five year old son, recently moved to Walla Walla where he assumed the editorship of a publica tion which is said to have boon plan ned as an organ of the Ku Klux Klan. He left there August 15, a week ago last Tuesday and told Mrs. Kirkpat rick that he would be bach within two or three days, according to tho report received here by his friends. Mrs. Kirkpatrick became alarmed when he had not returned home by Saturday, go she called the Record at Pilot Rock and asked if her husban had started back for Walla Walla. She was dumfounded when told that he had not been in Pilot Rock any time during the week. Later she comiaunicated with his rehui in Pendleton, and the case was placed In the handy of the police and the sheriff's office for an investigation In an efort to find the man. The debt of the publisher amount to quite a sum, but he Is said to have done an excellent business and to have been making money. There Is said to be a first mortgage against his plant for $2,000. He had ajso purchased an Intertype machine which cost more than $3,000 anl j which Is thought to be less than, one- third paid for. In addition to thiif, according to a report from a repre sentative of the Intertype concern, he is obligated about $600 on a neH print bill. Tho Record Is In charge of r. Mr. Lake who h as been at Pilot Rock for about one month. He lias beo;i u -able to find any books with the rec ords of the buslross. Thi.igs which Kirkpatrick did before he left '.v rau:;ufd L'ike to form tho imr resKion that .he diHapper.n-.nce may have bo n premediated. On the other hand, the theory has been been advanced that Kirkpatrick T" ADVICE Of AKMOUR GRAIN GO. An upward movement in grain pri ces is in prospect, says President George E. Marcy of the Armour Grain ccuvpany, in a uigned state ment. "The situation," he declares, "promises to be of such financial benefit to the American farmer that he will be in a position to materially and substantially improve general business conditions. "An orderly and gradual market ing of existing wheat stocks will end the present depressed price conditions and there are tremendous economic factors at wortt to force slow er and more stable marketing. A settlement of the coal strike will leave fewer cars for movement of grain and the expected improvement in general business conditions should further affect the amount of equip ment available. Apparently Europe will need around 100,000,000 bushels more wheat than last year, and leading United States bankers seem to be a unit in favoring help which will put Europe on its in dustrial feet and allow the nations to buy such food as they need. This will probably result in a continued big demand for American products. The farmer is now in, a position to hold his grain for reasonable prices. With the farmer wisely holding back his grain and economic conditions work ing towards the Same result, tho end of the present low prices for farm products seems in sight, and as prices for grain go up, better business con ditions throughout the whole country will follow. ROUXD-UP FEATl'KES TOM MIX AM) THICK RIDERS Pendleton, Or.

EOR UM STRIKE SAYS INDUSTRY FACES RUIN' IP STRIKE CONTINUE) Eortl Plants To Close September 10 For Lack of Fuel. 105,000 Jobless In an announcement made last Sat urday evening Henry Ford, head of Detroit's greatest manufacturing in dustry, gave out the unwelcome news that the entire Ford plant will bo forced to close on September 16th. for lack of fuel as a result of tha coal and railway strikes. The shut down will throw 105,000 men directly employed in tho Ford plants out of employment while seriously affecting tho welfare of from one to three mil lion workers employed in other in dustries which furnish material to the Ford interests. Telegrams and letters were sent out Saturday night to 1900 linns have been furnishing batcrial to Ford cancelling the contracts and Mr. Ford announced that, he had no Idea when the plants would resume. The present output of the plant is 5,200 cars a day. Industry the country over must "throw up its hands in surrender," within a few weeks if the rail and coal strikes continue, Henry Ford de clared Saturday, announcing tho de cision of the-Ford Motor company to close its plants here and in many other cities September 16, because or tho fuel situation. Mr. Ford held financial interests responsible for the industrial tie-up, declaring tho "money-barons" wero manipulating the labor unions and that public officials were impotent in the crisis. The strikes would end, he contin ued, "when the majority of the poo;lo are cold and hungry enough to re so'.'t to drastic action." "Continuance of these disturban ce, Ui tha economic life o? the nation is due simply to the greed r.nd avarice of Wall Street," Mr. Ford asserted, that these interests dominated the railroads, coal mines r.nd public util ities of the country. The deadlock in tflrfke negotiations Indicated, he declared, the existence of "a plot to unload the demoralized and rundown railroads on the govern mont at their own price and to murct the peo;ls through excessive coal prices."
