A trade was made during the past two weeks whereby Hugh Currin purchased the alfalfa farm of Gus Wilcox at Jordan Siding. After look ing around for sometime to find a place to move to with his family and failing to get what he wanted either at Heppner or lone, Mr. Wilcox de cided that he wanted his farm back, and offered Mr. Currin a neat ad vance in price to deed It back to him. Mr. Currin did this, and he is now scouting around for a place for him self and family to live in the mean time. Houses to rent in Heppner are out of the question at this time and scarcely a day passes but this of fice receives a call from some one wanting a house to rent. Just what it will be when school opens in the Fall is only a matter of conjecture. Mr. Currin is but one of many who desire to take up their residence here to take advantage of the school. THE CONFECTIONERY HARDMAN, OREGON WILL SERVE ICE CREAM HERE AFTER ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS. COMPLETE LINE OF CONFEC TION FRY KIU ITS IN SEASON. W. H. AYERS, Proprietor C. A. Minor says the big rains dur ing the week are just what the coun try needs for all varieties of crops. They have been a little hard on the sheepmen who were just ready to move their flocks into the mountains, but are assured of abundant feed la ter on. The wheat fields, appear to be so well supplied with moisture now that even a partial failure in the crops can scarcely be expected. Crop development in Morrow coun ty the past few weeks has certainly been wonderful. THE EDITOR. Consider the editor. He weareth purple and fine linen. His abode is v amongst the mansions of the rich. His wife hath her limousine and his first-born sporteth a racing car that can hit her up in forty flat. Lo! All the people breaketh their necks to hand him money. A child is born unto the wife of a merchant In the bazaar. The physician getteth ten golden plunks. The editor write th a stick and a half and telleth the multitude that the child tippeth the beam at nine pounds. Yea. he lieth ' von as a centurion. And the proud father giveth him a cremo. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduateth. And the editor put teth into his paper a swell notice. Y"a. a peach of a notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman, and of her exceeding comliness. Like unto the roses of Sharon is she and her gown is played up to beat the band. And, the dressmaker getteth two score and four iron men. And the editor getteth a note of thanks from the S. G. G. The daughter goeth a journey. And the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth a column, solid. And the fair one remembered him from afar with a picture postal card that cost eth six for a Jitney. Behold she returneth . and the youth of the city fall down and wor ship. She picketh one and Lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor cal leth him one of our most promising young men and getteth away with it. And they send unto him a bid to the wedding feast and behold, the bids are fashioned by Muntgummery Haw buck,, in a far city. Flowery arid long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth ten bones. The groom standeth the editor off for a twelve-month subscription. All flesh is grass and in time the wife is gathered Into the silo. The minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry, and a card of thanks. And he forgetteth to read proof on the head, and the darned thing Com eth out, "Gone to her Last Roasting Place." And all that are akin to the de ceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And they pulleth out their ads and cancelleth their subscriptions and they swing the hammer unto the third and fourth generations. Canst thou beat It. Stayton Mall. Forest Notes. News print paper has been made by the Forest Service laboratory from 24 different woods, and a number compare favorably with standard spruce pulp paper. The Forest Service is cooperating with 54 railroads, mining companies, and cities in making tests of wood en ties, timbers, poles, piling and paving blocks which have been given preservative treatments. In 1895 there were 15 wood pre serving plants operating in the Uni ted States; in 1914 the number had increased to 122, representing all types of plant. The 1914 figures, Based upon re ports from 94 plants, show that the total number of cubic feet of ma terial treated with preservatives was 159,582,639 cubic feet. This was an increase of 5,968,751 cubic feet over the total for 1913. Of this increase, 109,980 cubic feet was made up of piling, and 3,577,751 more cross ties were handled than during the pre vious year. During 1914, nearly eighty mil lion gallons of creosote were used by the preserving plants of the United States. Hermiston Dairy Show is Strongly Endorsed. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, June 14. In a dairy meeting that represented every section of the Hermiston country all the dairymen were unanimous in favor of holding their annual dairy show, says the Hermiston Herald of recent date. Great enthusiasm prevailed among the dairy and hog men in the matter of making the 1915 dairy and hog show better than ever. The dairy show officers are F. B. Svvayze, H. M. Straw and C. S. McNaught. The exact date of the next show was not announced but it will be late enough to permit entrymen time to get their stock in shape for the show and their work well enough along to allow Dlentv of time tn atlonrl tlio show and get the full benefit of the exnimt and sales. Swine on Dairy Farms. "Swine are particularly adapted to dairy farms where the skim milk can be made to fill in the gap be tween the weanine and ffttteninir ner- iod," says G. R. Swanson, swine spec ialist at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. "With the exception of high grade dairy heifer calves, pigs will Day a better nrlrn fnr old tn mill tlmn any other class of stock, and pigs do not come very largely into competi tion with dairy cows for the products of the farm. Pigs can use but very nine or tne rougher forages on the farm, which form the Imsls if the ration of the dairy cow, and the fat tening pig is a large consumer of con centrates. In fact, under most intel ligent svstems nf fflmilnp' lii-a anil dairy cows on the same farm will pay Deuer man will either the one or the other of these kinds of stock raised exclusively on the same farm. The exception to this rule is found in lo calities where milk condenseries have been deveiooed so that there lire n few by-products of the dairy business which can oe utilized in pig feeding."
