During the past month over 7000
acres of wheat in the county was in
soected for certification by E. R.
Jackman from the Oregon Agricul
tural College and County Agent
Morse. Out of this 3739 acres pass
ed the preliminary examination and
964 will probably be added as soon
as samples of the threshed grain are
examined. The certification work in
the past did not require the examina
tion of threshed samples but this
year all fields passing the field test
are sending in samples of the grain
to be examined in the laboratory for
purity and germination.
There is a large acreage of excel
lent Turkey Red wheat in the county
this year. The worst fault of this
variety is that many fields have rye
scattered throughout, this is largely
caused from raising and feeding rye
hay. There was no Forty Fold pass
ed in the examination due to the
amount of varietal mixtures and only
one held each of Hard Federation,
Early Baart and Hybrid 128.
The complete list of fields certified
this year will be published as soon as
samples of the threshed grain are re
ceived and examined.
WAREHOUSE RULES ARE
SHOWN' TO BE IMPORTANT

law. There are no others.
When delivering wheat that is to
bu divided between two or more par
lies, and you wish to have it piled
in special piles, it is much better
to make the divisions in the fields,
informing the warehouseman of each
change, so that he may keep each lot
and pile separate.
Should the weights vary material
ly a little figuring on the last load
or two will be necessary to get a pro
per division of weights and in separ
ate or individual piles. When this
can not be done the warehouseman
should grade the wheat and issue
.graded racoipts to each owner, ac
cording to such division.
If piled together in one pile and
then divided, and ungraded receipts
issued to each owner, the pile be
comes "split" and such ?, receipt
does not come under the regulations
governing either a graded receipt or
a receipt for a special pile. The
warehouseman escapes both the re
sponsibility of grade and delivery of
all of th,e pile should there be any
surplus or overrun.
The identity of your wheat, if in
special pile, is kept by the associa
tion only for and until proper grades
are established thereon. Should the
individual be entitled to any increase
In weight if his wheat were shipped
in February, he would also be liable
for any shrinkage if not shipped un
til June. He should also be charged
storage until th,en if shipped In June.
But this is no', true. Tho associa

wheat must move immediately and

WE MAKE A CORRECTION
Charlie eBU, who lost a thumb in
an argument with a Ford motor thp
other day, went to Portland Tuesday
and before leaving he left word for
the Herald that the notice printed
last week about his accident needed
two corrections: Firstly, Dr. Chick
dressed the Injured member, and,
secondly, "Chuck" did not read any
newspaper while the job was being
done. We cheerfully make the cor
rections and Just as cheerfully pass
tho buck to Charlie Latourell who
gave us the information.
Taking Into account the rate at
which Charlie is selling Ford trucks
and cars the last few weeks he
should be good natured enough to
stand for a little thing like this.
turn and take up the worit again. He
has not yet decided whether he will
accept the position.
Mr. Haslam made the trip to No
tus with friends from that place in
an auto and they drove the 315
miles in one day, about 15 hours ac
tual driving.
Returning the minister came by
rail and the train he was traveling
on ran into a burning bridge in the
Blue mountains but was stopped and
backed up before damago was done.
They were held up six hours, how
ever, and the night was a very hot
and uncomfortable one.
Northwest Hay and Grain
Show Pendleton, Oct. 25-27
Word has been received by County
Agent Morse that the Northwest Hay
and Grain Show will be held at Pen
dleton this year on October 25th,
26th and 27th. Last year Morrow
county made an excellent showing in
the threshed grain exhibits some thir
ty farmers sending over exhibits.
With the quality of wheat grown in
Morrow county this year there should
be no trouble in taking over a much
better lot than was shown last year.
Any farmer having good wheat to
make an exhibit should pick out a
sack of the best and leave it at his
warehouse and drop a card to the
county agent and he will pick it up
and have it recleaned and entered
under the owner's name at Pendleton.
A HEDGE OF MORNING-GLORIES
One of the prettiest sights in
Heppner these mornings is the hedge
of mornlng-gjorys to be seen in the
yard of Mrs. Alex Gibb, on Court
street.
The hedge is some 30 feet long
and eight feet high and the dark
green foilag,e is studded with the
dainty blossoms in many shades of
coler.
The morning-glory is an old-fashioned
as the hollyhock but there is
no bloom more pleasing durings its
season.
Mrs. Cibb is justly proud of her
success in growing the twisting
climbers this season and plans have
an even greater display next year.
She invites flower lovers to inspect
her hedge and if anyone can make a
better showing she w ould like to
see it.
THE WEATHER
The past week has been marked
by soya real weather and Thursday
seasonal heat records were broken
when the mercury climbed to 99 de
grees. This was the hottest weather
experienced here since 1916 when
102 degrees was recorded, the high
est since records have been kept.
Sunday afternoon and evening
thirty-five hundredths of an inch of
rain fell cooling the air and s-topping
harvesting operations for a time.
