First Period of Campaign
RESPECTED PIONEER PASSES
GAME tAW UIOtATOH FINED Morrow County Second in Wool
End Next Saturday Evening!
THE FIRST PERIOD WII.Ii CLOSE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28 NEVER
AGAIN SO MANY CREDITS TOH
SUESCRIFTlOwS
This is the last week of the first per
iod and the last few days of this week
"Will finish the period of the large credits
In the Herald's big salesmanship cam
paign. Never again, after Saturday, will :
there he an opportunity t-u secure as
many credits for the subscriptions as
you receive in this the first period. j
In spite of the fact that we told club I
members in the paper and personally,
many seem to thinks there will he extra ,
credit offers Riven later, so to those
who hold back subscriptions we can only
add that 'you will awaken after it is too
late, for never again after Saturday will
you receive as many credits for the sub
scriptions as you have during the first
period.
No one has a wajl'k away fnr the Ford
sedan, valued at $7ii4.S;j, neither is any
one hopelessly beaten for a live worker
could get into the campaign right now
and win if they would devote the time
to the work. .Just a fewj long term sub
scriptions secured for any one of the
contenders' would change the entire line
up and crown a new leader. A little
help volunteered now may be just the
aid necessary to stem the tide of de
feat, and turn into a sweeping1 victory
for some deserving participant.
Of course the race does not come to
a close until Saturday, Nov. IS, but the
winners are sure to be among- those club
memlbers who make the best records
this- week.
It is not what has been done, or what
will be done three weeks from now, but
it is what is being done, right now this
week that counts. The wise club mem
ber is the one who sees the opportunuity
today to pu.t into effect a plan of cam
paign that will compel victory to perch
on their standard.
The crucial test is now at hand. If
you eevr intend to do anything BIG in
this race, DO IT NOW. Instead of be
ing way down on the list make a spec
ial effort to get a good reserve for the
final stretch of the campaign.
If you are in the race and want to
win, you should start to work at onve
and get busy after the subscription, for
all it takes is the time to gut out find
work for them and you cannot help hut
he a winner in this campaign for if you
do not win one of the prizes you will re
ceive twenty per cent of the cash ym
HEALTH BOARD FINDS
HEPPEI HER PUBE
Save fuel for next winter by refrain
ing from boiling your drinking water
and "t;ilv'cr straight." No lurking ty
phoid tTerm plot: a.KUinst your health or
life in the sparkiing ei-p from lltTpner's
water mains when you turn the faucet
to quench your thrist.
Such, at least, is the report from the
Oregon State Board of I-iealth just re
ceived by ity Water Supuerintendent
Pruyn, who recently sent a sample of
water from the city distributing system
to the state board for analysis.
The report shows the water to be ail8
lutely pure as regards bacteria and bac
teria coli, the dreaded typhoid germ.
This condition, Mr. Pruyn explains is
unusual as but few samples of water are
found entirely free from the ordinary
bacteria.
A report and warning published here
a couple of weeks ago by the city phy
sician warned against the use of the
water from the mains without boiling
causing considerable uneasiness among
citizens but this latest official report
should re-assure Ib ppner people on tho
water question and let the world know
that our city water is :rcontaminated.

Hi!,.
It was h
a racd. for in-' tance, that i C
'et his summer fallow plow
miglit as well sax e his tin to
he did ii. t

d money and not plow it at all. Jin
trued that it would not make him any
money to harrow winter wheat in tho
spring, and thai Turkey ited was tho

Mot row count y wheat growers are
ert in their search for more satisfac
tory wheat production methods Whilo
there hist summer 1 met several w hv
had j ust ret u rned from a three days
excursion over into Sherman county.
Kort - five of the Morrow county
wheat growers ma tic the t rip, passing
a full day on tho Moro station, where
10 years results have brought out some
very va I liable facts in connect ion with
handling id" summer fallow and wheat
varielv methods. So impressed were
the farmers with the obserwuions on
the sta! ion that seven of them have ar
ranged with 'I'otiiUy Agent 'alkins to
try out diff'trcnt varieties on their
farius, sowing three or four varieties,
each on a measured acre.
New Dust Treatment for Smut
Twelve wheat growers tried the m w
copper carbona te dust t real incut for
smut this year on a measured acreage,
for comparison wit h t ho eiistnina ry
treatment, which is copper sulphate or
formaldehyde in different Instances. The
object hi view was to determine the ef
ficiency of t lie former method in eon
trol of smut, as there is no- question
hut what much of the expense of seed
treatment, and all wheat sown in east
ern Oregon requires this treatment, will
be greatly reduced if tihe dust method
workH out satisfactorily.
Results of the yen r's tests hIiowimI
that there was a 100 perl cent stand on
every field using the dust treatment. On
areas where eo piper sulphate or forma'l
dehydtt was used the stand was in near
ly every instance damaged, because of
seed injury during treatment. Tho
average stand on the 11! farms was 100
per eont. Much of the difference in ef
fectiveness in siniil control resulted
from hick of uniformity in applying tin
new treatment.
George I'.uruslde of Hardnuin fount
that hi Illu.estem treated by the new
method contained but 1 per cent of smut,
while his other fields had but about, all
SO per cent stand and 5 Mi per cent smul.
Wheat treated according to the new
met hod produced an average of one
third mom heads at harvest time oil
