COUNTY COURT FOSTERS
PLAN FOR, PUKE SEED
Judge Campbell Brings Truck Load
From Weston Mountain
Last Wek
That it is poor business for a coun
ty like Morrow to depend on outside
sources for its potato supply is the
opinion of the present county court
and with the object in view of put
ting that branch of agriculture on a
better basis a four-ton truck load
o certified seed potatoes were
brought from Weston mountain last
week to be distributed at cost to
Morrow county farmers who ar,e de
sirous of improving that branch of
their business.
Carrying out the plan, which was
endorsed by the board of commis
sioners, Judge Campbell, when he
found that all the county truck driv
ers were busy on road work, took a
county truck to Weston last week
and brought back four tons of seed,
more than half of which has already
been engaged, and it is understood
the remaider is going fast.
"While not all the soil in Morrow
county 13 adapted to potato culture,"
. Judge Campbell stated the other day
when discussing the matter with a
Herald reporter, "it is a known fact
that in the Hardman country and, in
fact, all along the ' foothills in the
south part of the' county, the soil
is a3 perfectly suited for potatoes as
is that of Weston mountain, which
has within the last few years become
famous for the high quality of that
crop.
"While at Wpston the other day,"
the judge continued, "I learned that
a few years ago Weston mountain
potatoes went begging for a market
at .75 cents to $1.00 per hundred,
but today they are selling all they
can raise at from $2.25 to $2.50 a
hundred f. o. b. Weston. The change
in conditions is due entirely to the
fact that a ew years ago the farm
ers in that section, were induced by
their county agent to secure and
plant certified seed of a very few of
the best commercial varieties. These
were found to be the Netted Gem and
the Earliest of All, the former lead
ing as the standard variety demand
ed by the better class of hotel, res
taurant and dining car trade.
"For years Morrow county has not
produced enough potatoes to supply
the home demand and a large amount
of money has been sent to the out
side which should have remained at
home. Instead of buying our pota
toes from Weston, Yakima and other
points we should be not only supply
ing our own tables, but we should
be shipping out carloads of the tub
erst at profitable prices and that is
the reason for the county officials
taking this step towards supplying
pure seed."
Judge Campbell is taking steps to
induce some owner of good potato
land to plant 5 or 10 acres of pure
seed this spring, give the crop prop
er cultivation and attention and
have the field certified for seed pur
poses. The certification will cost
the grower nothing but will be at
tended to without coat to the grow
er by County Agent Morse and oth
er experts from O. A. C. Mr. Morse,
by the way, ranks with the best of
them as authority on potato culture,
Tjis experience along that line while
serving as county agent in Wyoming
being of great value. Former coun
ty commissioner George Bleakman,
of Hardman, is interested in the
plan of making his district a real
potato section and is working with
Judge Campbell towards that end.
To secure the best prices on the
market potatoes must be pure stock
of the right variety, clean and un
blemished and of uniform size and
shape. Unduly large tubers are not
desired, neither are undersized ones
wanted and the only way to secure
uniformity is by planting properly
selected seed.
In certifying a field of potatoes
three inspections are made; one dur
ing the growing season, one at dig
sing time and one in the spring when
the tubers are being taken from the
pits. These inspections, however,
cost thp grower nothing but is a part
of the better farming campaign be
ing fostered by the Oregon Agricul
tural college.
The 3eed being supplied by the
county court through the office of
the county agricultural agent are
mostly Netted Gems with some of
the Earliest of All. They are being
sold to farmers at $2.50 and $2.75
per hundred weight which is the
cost price delivered at Heppner.
PROHIBITION WORKERS HELD

Ir. J. A. Linville, federal prohi
bition agent for Oregon, and Mrs. J.
J. McMillan; of the W. C. T. U.,

the federal prohibition law.
Mrs. McMillan also spoka at some
length on temperance and the work
ia which the W. C. T. U. is engaged
preliminary to organizing a branch
of the organization here. Mrs. Mc

iocal president but none being forth
coming she proceeded to appoint the
following officers: Mrs. J. J. Ad

HUGE CROWDS WATCH
K. K. K. CEREMONIALS
(East Oregonlan)
Under the light shed by a fiery
cross in the ar.ena at Round-Up park
a class of more than 100 candidates
were initiated into the Pendleton
branch of the Ku Klux Klan last
night in the first public ceremonial
ever held here. The grand stand was
packed with people who attended to
see the ceremony.
Preceeding the ceremony, klans
mert to the number of approximately
275 in costume, paraded from the
hall on Main street to the Itound-Up
grounds. A few of the men were
masked, but a majority of them
marched in costume with their hoods
open,
The streets were packed with peo
ple who were out to see the parade
A number of visitors were here from
other towns, according to C. F. Ken
nedy, secretary. Fiery crosses on
both the north and south hills
burned during the evening for sev
eral hours.
Following the parade and cere
monial a big banquet was served in
the klan hall which was enjoyed by
several hundred klansmen and their
families.
HEPPNER HILL HIGHWAY
FILLS LONG FELT NEED
The n,ew Market road up Heppner
hill in connection with the new grade
on upper Main street within the city
limits not only till a long felt need
in the matter of getting into and out
iff the town from the south, but will
stand as a monument to the present
county and city administrations.
Heppner has been here, as a town
and important trading point, for a
matter of almost 50 years and the
bulk of the trad,e during that time
has come to the town over that route
and the wonder is that a really good
road up the long lull has been so
long delayed.
The writer was given a ride over
the new highway the other evening
throught the courtesy of Uoadmaster
McCaleb and to say that the drive
was a pleasure as compared with
what it used to be is putting it mild
ly.
From the intersection of Main and
May streets to the level of Heppner
flat the present day traveler can roll
along on high in his flivver or bi
car as the case may be, never en
countering anything above a five per
cent grade.
The new road will mean many gal
Ions of gasoline saved and much less
wear on trucks, cars, teams and wa
gons and will mean a substantial re
duction in the cost of delivering
wheat at the warehouses.
The new road is now completed
to the head of Cason Canyon and be
sides that a spur 3-4-mile in length
has heen graded and - macadamed
from, the Hendrix place south which
will give the farmers in that Bection
easy access to the main highway.
Considerable new work is also be
ing done on the new grade on what
is known as the Shobe canyon road.
The new grade was opened a year or
so ago and just now some heavy rock
work is being done to give sufficient
width for teams and cars to pass
without trouble.

tinue impartial administration of law
and justice." His platform is brief
and to the point: "If I am nominat
ed and elected I will, during my

tially to perform the duties of the
office."

LIVESTOCK MAKE MONEY
STLY WHEN ON RANGE
Winter Feeding Likely to Cost More
Than Selling Price of Finished
Beef or Mutlou
Proper management of range graz
ing lands is important to the success
of the livestock business. Stockmen
in recent years are giving more and
more attention to measures that pro
vide more grass for feed.
Winter feeding of sheep or cattle
on hay, grain, silage or a combina
tion of these feeds, will cost more
than the normal selling price of the
finished beef or mutton. The time
when livestock are really making
money' is while they are on glass.
Thes,e are a few of the subjects
treated in a new bulletin on "Man
agement of Range Grazing Land,"
published by the extension service of
the Oregon Agricultural college. It
was written jointly by E. A. Potter,
t...,. m i it.. .1 ir A T
rami's J. . .JtMUllu; M11U II. '1. X.111U-
gr,en.
It treats further on the matter of
length of grazing period, class of
stock to which a range is best sill
ed, over-grazing, improving the
stand, of grass on the rangi, and the
management of sheep and cattle on
grazing lands.
A limited number of copies of this
bulletin Is available. Anyone desir
ing a copy is requested to get in
touch with the nearest county agent
or write to the college at Corvallis.

FARM REMINDERS
Cohn on Pasture Demand Grain
With pasture season coming on
there is often1 a desire to discontinue
feeding grain to the cows to a great
extent if not entirely. Cows well
fed during the winter, says N. O.
Jamison, college extension dairyman,
will milk well for a short tiin,e' with
little change In the amount of milk
produced although the grain ration
has been decreased. When the
stored surplus of food material has
been "milked off" the cows reduce
In flesh, especially when they feed
on "washy" parly pastures. A grad
ual change from grain to pasture
tends to prevent the loss of flesh.
After the pastures have become
strong less grain is required.
HELD FOR KIDNAPPING
M. W. Corman, of Portland, was
held In jail here for 24 hours Friday
on a charge preferred by Mrs. Grace
Peterson, also of Portland, who
claimed the man had brought her
here against her will.
The couple arrived here Thursday
afternoon in an old StudebakT car
which they offered for sale Friday
morning for $50, later dropping the
price to $15. The woman claimed
that Corman Is her stepfather and
that he induced her to ro for a short
ride in Portland and then drove to
Hood River, where they spent the
nibt in the car, coming on to Hepp
ner the following day. Sheriff Mc
Duffee and District Attorney JS'otson
Investigated the case and got In

sister In Portland, the husband later
wiring a ticket for her return. Cor
man was held until Saturday morn
ing, when the Multnomah county au
thorities, falling to send instructions,

Both parties told rather wierd
stories about their escapade, the wo

ETO
SUIT BROUGHT IN
UMATILLA CO. WITHDRAW!
Work Will Now Proceed on
lleppiiei-Hivrdiiiun Road to
Rhea Creek
tho
Following a row between the Uma
tilla county court and the tax con
servation commission appointed last
fall by Governor Pierce, C. F. Ken
nedy, of Pendleton, brought suit
in the cirtcuit court attacking the
constitutionality of the market road
law, the result of which was to halt
work on market road projects in
many parts of the state. Tle hin
drance to this much needed work has
been, removed, however, by the with
drawal of the suit on motion ot
Judge Fee, attorney for the plaint
iff. Much satisfaction Is expressed by
Morrow county officials because ot
this action' as it will leave the county,
court free to proceed with the work
of expending the, present market road
now completed from Heppner to the
head of Cason canyon to Rhea creek,
a distance of throe miles. Cason can
yon has always been a bugbear to
farmers in the Rhea creek and Eight
mile districts in the wheat hauling
season the character of the soil be
ing such that it cut into deep dust
uul chuck holes, making heavy
traffic difficult and expensive.
It is the intention of the county
court to resume work on the mar
ket road project next month and it
is hoped that arrangements can ba
made by which the work can bo
rushed to completion in time to ac
commodate the wheat traffic next
summer.
When the road is completed to
Rhea creek according to present
plans a platform will be erected by
the farmers living beyond that point
where they will deliver their wheat
by team from the farms to be picked
up by trucks and brought to thfl
warhouses at Heppner. This will al
low the farmers to deliver their crop,
with a minimum of time-and labor
and will also save the expense1 of re
maining over night in town.
Good roads are oie of the things
that will help solve the farm prob
lom and it is a gratifying fact that,
under the present regime, we are get
ting them as fast as available funds
and circumstances will permit.
PATRON-TEACHER SHOW
PLEASED HIG Al DJENCIi
Ono of the most enjoyable enjoy
able entertainments of the season
was the hom,e talent program given,
at the Star theater last Wednesday
evening hb a benefit for the Patron
Teacher association.
Tle theater was filled to capacity
with an audience that seemed to en
joy every number offered and every
moment of the two hours the pro
gram lasted.
Tho program, which was arranged
by members and friends of the asso
ciation and directed by Dean T.
Goodman, included dancing and mu
sical numbers, mystery plots, drama
and a moving picture, "The Flying
Dutchman," adapted from Wagner's
opera of the same name and which
was procured by Manager Sigsbea
specially for the occasion.
Unfortunately several of those?
who had been In training for th,e
various numbers were 111 when th
time arrived and at the last moment
substitutions had to be made In
about half a dozen casts but so well
did the substitutes do their, part that
tho audience were, for the most part,
unaware of any changes.
The performance was opened with
.two selections by a female quartetta
composed of Miss Steele, Mrs. B. K.
Huston, Mrs. F. W. Turner and Mis
Luola Bennett. Little MIhs Donna
Brown and Master Donald Boyer fol
lowed with something very neat in
Irish dances. Misses Steele and
Christ favored with violin and piano
music and Klmoka & Peggerd, local
ly know as "Spec" Aiken and Dean
Goodman, put on some marvelous
mystery stunts which seemed to
prove that "Speck" can see verjr
clearly from the back of his head.
The Mlsslldinc Players gave a won
derful representation of the "Old
Log School" In which Mrs. Earl Gil
liam starred as an old-time spinster
school inarm of the long ago, her
life made miserable by the antics ot
a bunch of obstreperous kids who
were represented by Mesdames Mlss
lldlne, Goodman, Finch, and Ander
son and I. A. Mather, Gay Anderson
and Bert Stone.
The "Flying Dutchman," plctur-
izatlon of Wagner's famous opera.
ended the splendid program and
proved a fitting climax.
