"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."

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.

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. '

"6. Then shovel up into a pile and
cover with sacks or tarpaulin pre
viously moistened with the solution.
6. 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.
