THE M'lLLOW CRKKK HIGHWAY.
It is pleasing to note that the ma
jority sentiment expressed at the
lone road meeting last Friday favored
good, permanent roads for Morrow
county. That the majority of the
taxpayers present at that meeting
were in favor of voting a special tax
levy of 5 mills for the construction
of some permanent roads, was shown
in the result of a vote taken. The
motion to put the proposition of a
special election to vote a 5 mill tax
for the purpose of building a graded
highway from Heppner down Willow
creek to the Gilliam couny line, car
ried by a vote of 33 to 21 of the tax
payers. Naturally there was opposition to
the motion. That opposition as was
voiced by several men present who
are in reality in favor of good roads,
was based on the reason that the pro
posed road improvement does not
take place in their particular neigh
borhood. If good road work is to be
accomplished in any section of Morrow-
county, it will be necessary for
certain concessions to be made by
those not in favor.
That there should be a well graded,
substantial highway through Morrow
county, there can be no question.
Since the logical outlet of travel
through this county is through the
towns of Heppner, Lexington and
lone, through the Willow creek val-1
ley, then this is the logical place for j
the trunk highway to be built. Other
units of permanency will arrive soon
after, by the districts tributary to
the Willow- creek road taking similar
steps as have been taken here, and
before many years, the couny will
have a net work of good roads.
The taxpayers of these three dis
tricts should realize that the five-mill
tax which is to be levied will be an
investment of money into something
permanent, and something that will
return to the county increased thous
ands of dollars as the years roll by.
In the first place, the upkeep of roads
in these districts will be diminished,
for the reason that it requires less
money to keep up a good road than
a poor one. Safer and speedier means
of transportation between the main
towns of the county will be possible. '
To the Editor:
Since the discovery of successful
waiter getting in the finding of the
"gusher" gotten by those enterpris
ing citizens the Xewlons all who
know of the wonderful natural re
sources of Morrow county will admit
that it is destined to become the gar
den spot of Oregon, the renowned
Willamette valley not excepted.
Fruits of all kinds, grain, vegetables,
clover, dairy products and stock in
bounteous productions are there for
the application of energy in practic
able ability.
It is not expected that every one
who drills for water will strike a
gusher or even an artesian flow in a
country as undulated and ununiform
ly located as Morrow county but ince
the discovery of the late invention of
a cheap drilled rotary pump, now be
ing manufactured here in Portland,
which was on exhibition at the State
Fair in Salem, has proved its ability
to take large quantities of water
from which successful Irrigation can
be handled, no one should be re
luctant in trying for water for irriga
tion purposes in a country so won
derfully acclimated and fertile as
Morrow county.
In all drilled wells in that county
the uniform success of water getting
has been a great rise from the strata
in which it Is found. By means of
this pump wells which do not flow
can be made to produce large quan
tities of water for irrigation purposes
with a small upkeep for gasoline and
the installation of a plant.
. All praise to Mr. and Mrs. Newlon
and may their enterprise be taken up
by every citizen in that county and
all w ho have interests or can go there
to add in its development.

POTATOES GOOD PIG FEED
Because of the surplus of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequently low prices, many
farmers have been seeking informa
tion as to the possibility of feeding
them to hogs.
Many experiments have been con
ducted in Germany and other foreign
countries as well as in the United
States to determine the value of po
tatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland
and Germany farmers feed large
quantities of potatoes annually. From
experimental data it has been con
cluded that 4 to 4 2 bu. of potatoes
when cooked are equal to about 1
bushel of corn for putting gains on
hogs. Therefore, if corn is worth 80
cents a bushel, potatoes when fed to
hog would be worth only 18 to 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be Instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed
to hogs right on his own place at
least part of his crop rather than
to haul these potatoes to an already
overloaded market.
According to the concensus of
opinion, potatoes are fed to the best
advantage when cooked or steamed
and mixed with other feeds. Ex
periments in which raw potatoes
were fed alone have been reported.
In certain instances the raw potatoes
are said to have caused Bcours. How
ever, raw potatoes in small quantities
and in a diet lacking succulence may
be conducive to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make a
mealy mash and prevent burning.
The resultant meal should then be
mixed with corn meal or other grain
supplement. Tankage, skim milk, or
meat meal would probably add to the
profit of the mixture. Potatoes when
prepared in the manner described
and under the conditions mentioned
can often be fed to pigs with advantage.
