CLEVELAND SAYS HEI'I'XEH MIST UROW DWARF HOLLYHOCKS j W. H. Cleveland, who owna tho old Shepherds' Home ranch on up per Willow creek, almost run over j the Herald man Thursday morning ! in his haste to swing in to the curb to talk hollyhocks. 'What's all this stuff you are giv 1 ing us about hollyhocks?" asked W. H., as he brought his car to a stop 'after making the scribe turn a back ' double somersault to get out of his ' way. "What sort of a contest is jthis, anyhow?" he continued as the o. in. picked up his hat and dusted ji; Off. "Are these Heppner people 'growing a dwarf variety of the New Wheat Wanted Get Our Prices Before Selling We Carry New Wheat for Your Chickens Mill Run for Your Cow Flour for Your Home Brown & Lowry a H H HEPPIER, OREGON Phone 642 homely," old-fashioned flower, or ait these measurements you have been publishing been intended as so many jokes? Up on the ranch," he con tinued, "we have a few hollyhocks this year that we didn't consider worth mentioning until we read the stories in the Herald about Heppner specimens. "My boy climbed a big cherry tree the other day," continued Mr. Cleveland, "and when well up to the top of it he climbed out on a holly hock stem that grew beside the tree and the stem bent over with him so he couldn't get back to the tree, and to save his clothing we had to get a long ladder to bring him down. "The hollyhocks up there," he went on. "remind me of the fir tim ber where I was raised in western Oregon. The timber wan so tall and so close together that we boys used to take a halt holliday once in a while and go out back of the house and chop down a few trees bo we could see what the sun looked like. We don't expect to haul any wood out of the mountains this fall," con cluded Mr .Cleveland, "we will use hollyhock stems for fire wood, fence posts, etc., and if I can find a porta ble sawmill for sale I may cut some of the butts into lumber." By this time the o. m. had recov ered enough from his narrow escape to ask: "But how much do thev measure, Mr. Cleveland how man. feet high?" "Oh. I don't know," was the an swer. "My 50-foot tape measure wis lost v."i. eu the barn burned and I have no way to measure titer..." ' M r W ." W. S mead , who" started this hollyhock trouble, called up tho Herald office Wednesday morning and wanted to know if humming birds are apt to form a habit. "The reason I ask," she said, "is because a hummingbird was in the habit of getting his breakfast from some hol hylocks that grew by my back porch, and when I had to have the hollys cut away bceause they made the house so dark, that poor little bird would come every morning and buzz around the spot until exhausted. I feel very sorry for the bird but I just had to cut the hollyhocks down to save electric light bills.. And an other thing," she went on, "I don't think there is any sense in having hollyhocks more than 10 feet 11 inches tall because when they get taller than that they are apt to fall over and die. And besides that, r don't think it is good form to grow them too tall since that picture was published showing President and Mrs. Coolidge in their hollyhock garden back in Vermont. Those hol lyhocks were not as tall as Mrs. Cool idge and It Is not polite to excel the first lady of the land in anything even hollyhocks now is it?" Hollyhock fans are urged to send in reports of what they have. A year's subscription will be given to the person who can show the tall est hollyhock before frost comes but we will have to have the exact meas urement of each specimen entering the contest. Mr. Cleveland will have to get a new tape measure or a surveyor's chain before he can qualify.
