The Gazette-Times x1 " eCENB FROM "WINGED MILLIONS" No. PATHE'S "PATRIA" PRODUCED TOR INTERNATIONAL BY THE WHARTONS, Imc "A thrill a foot might well be the advertising description of 'Patrla.' In the first three episodes Mrs. Caslle has ridden a horse aa breakneck speed, swam for her life, motorboated, scaled a ship's side hand over hand up a rope, drove off an ocean liner, shut out a fuse that threatened to blow her out of the picture, and crouched in a racing motor that zipped through guarding gates across the very path of a speeding express train." Enjoys Visit With Old Friends. Joe Bannister, who for many years in the early history of Morrow coun ty was a farmer and stockraiser in the Hardman section, was In Heppner several days the past week from his home in Hermiston. He Is at pres ent foreman of the big Sloan sheep ranch in the Slanfield country and came to Heppner to receive a bunch of wethers from Blakely Bros., of Monument. The last visit of Mr. Bannister to Heppner was just after the Heppner flood. He had been away from here for several years at that time, living at Weston. It is now with a great deal of pleasure he notes the splendid improvements go ing on here and the manner in which the town has grown and built up Is a surprise to him. Mr. Bannister has occasion to visit many of the towns and cities of Eastern Oregon in the course of his business, and at no place has he noted the activity that Is going on in Heppner. The G.-T. force enjoyed a pleasant visit with Joe anil many reminiscences of form er days were recalled. The Heppner country was a pretty lively section in the days when Mr. Bannister rode the hills and he can recall many in teresting events of the early days. Hag Ieased Ranch, George W. Chapln, of Hardman, was in Heppner on Friday to attend to business matters. He has rented his Middle Fork ranch on Rock creek to Ed Reed, of Eight Mile, and Mr. Reed will run the place for a period of five years. He will begin the work of putting in his crops there at once. Mr. Chapin will live on his mountain place in the meantime and try to take things a little easy as he finds a lot of hard work in connection with handling a place as large as the Mid dle Fork ranch. Joe Wood, young farmer of the Gooseberry section, was doing busi ness in Heppner the first ui the week. Srvw.

Will Get It, Or It Is Not Made" MAKES CLUBBING ARRANGEMENT WITH n 7 k WM Offers Unusual Opportunity To Its Readers MONG our large circle of readers there are a great many , .11 .1 f .1 t X ' wno are interested airecny or indirectly m. trait growing, dairying and other branches of farming. All of these nat urally wish to keep in close touch with agricultural activi ties throughout the state; and to know about any fight which is being waged for the measures Oregon farmers want and against all sorts of schemes that are detrimental to the people and agri cultural interests of this state. We have, therefore, made a , special clubbing arrangement with THE OREGON FARMER whereby any farmer or fruit grower, who is one of our regular subscribers and who is not now a subscriber of THE OREGON FARMER, will be en titled to receive THE OREGON FARMER in combination with this paper at the same rate as for this paper alone. . This offer applies to all those who renew or extend their sub criptions as well as to all new subscribers, If you are interested directly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture, do not miss this unusual opporturity but send your order in now. THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm paper which is devoting itself exclusively to the farming activities and interests of Oregon. It has a big organization gathering the news of importance to farmers, dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and poultrymen; and it has the backbone to attack wrongful methods and combinations and bad legislation, and support honest leaders and beneficial measures. We are confident that our readers will congratulate us on our being able to make this splendid and attractive clubbing offer.

Leave for two hours or more. 7. Uncover and spread out till dry enough to run through drill and plant at once or if the grain is not to be seeded Immediately dry thorough ly before storing away. Note The sprinkling method should not be used for wheat that has not been cleaned of smut balls as this does not kllla the spores con tained in broken balls and when run through the drill the smut balls are broken and the living smut spores are then sown on the seed. Such grain should therefore be treated loose in an open tank and the sraui i balls allowed to float to the top of i the solution where they can be re moved by skimming. Drill should be set to allow for swelling of seed when damp grain is planted. ltluestone (Coer Sulphate) Solution I A good many growers use the Mile stone method In place of formalde- j hyde with good results, tl is more expensive and probably no more ef fective than the formaldehyde. It must not be used with barley as it injures germination severely. It is not advised for oats. Bluestone as well as formaldehyde may under cer tain conditions cause some injury to the germlnatlonof wheat. The fol lowing directions will give maximum effectiveness and minimum injury if followed carefully in using the blue stone solution. Formula Bluestone (copper sul phate), 1 pound; common salt, 1 pound; water, 5 gallons. Milk of Lime. Slake some quick lime and dilute with water in a barrel or other suit-; able container to be used as a neu tralizer for he bluestone after treatment. Directions Remove all smut balls J by fanning. 2. Place wheat in loose sacks and . put into the solution, being sure to get all kernels throughly wet. 3. Leave for 6 or 6 minutes. 4. Remove, drain quickly and dip at once into barrel containing milk of lime to neutralize the copper. - This reduces somewhat the possible injury to germination. 5. Spread out and dry at once. Injury to Germination. The soft wheats grown in Oregon ripen with an exceedingly low water content and the kernels are very brit tle. When threshed with an ordinary separator running at the usual speed a large percentage of the kernels are often broken, cracked or scratched. Running the machine at a lowered speed has been shown by the Wash ington Experiment station to reduce the amount of this kind of injury to some extent, while flailed grain will have very much less of the injury. In using the formaldehyde and bluestone methods of reatment a con siderable loss in germination of seed or failure to make a good stand of grain are often reported. Experi ment has shown that perfectly unin jured wheat suffers little or no in jury to germination from' either method of reatment. Grain that is cracked or kernels that are scratched especially over the germ end so as to break through the seed coats, are liable to have their powers of ger mination destroyed or their vitality injured because the chemical used in treating is able to get into the inter-, ior through these injuries. The loss in germination in this way is, when proper precautons are observed in treating, not so severe In most cases as would have been the loss from smut. No grower would be justified in discontinuing treatment on this account. In order that injury to seed vitality may be reduced to the minimum, par ticular attention should be given to' the following points: 1. Do not soak seed longer than recommended. 2. Spread out to dry at once. 3. In the bluestone treatment use the lime bath at once before drying. 4. In the formaldehyde treatment if grain is not to be planted at once, wash in pure water before drying and then dry thoroughly before sacking up. 6. Never allow treated grain to stand around in sacks any length of time with the grian wet or moist. 6. Where injury to germination is suspected, germination tests with treated grain are recommended and the drill should be set to sow more heavily according to the results of the tests. The "loose" smuts of wheat and barley are not controlled by either of the above methods 'of treatment. These smuts, however, are not ordi narily serious In Oregon.
