As reports come in from the har
vest fields it becomes more evident
the big shortage in the county will
be in the barley crop. From all
parts of the comity the yield of this
grain is being reported light with
the quality generally below the
usual grade says the Pendleton
Tribune.
The be.-t yield and quality seems
to be on the foot hill lands east of
Pendleton. A peculiar condition re
ported is that in many localities bar
ley on sprins; plowing seems to be
turning out better than the fall

HARVEST HELP
With harvest In full swing we car
low view the lalnr situation witl
more definiteness. There Is no doub
a shortage of men but as yet tht-
shortage is net serious enough to jus
tify the continued talk of higher wa
ges. The majority of Morrow count;
farmers are paying $4.00 for box dri
vers and loaders. This advance 1
about what was expected at the bes'x
ning of the season, even when set
ting a standard wage. Such condi
.lens as distance from town, distant
from source of supplies and harvest
ing methods were admitted to be a
factor which could not be considered
except from the local standpoint. The
danger now, however is not a lack nf
men but rather the fact that some
operator may get uneasy and offer
higher wages. This could easily prove
disastrous for as soon as one outfit
makes a better offer, trouble will
start, and will result in a great 1:jt
' t'me. The present wages are con
Hered fair not only to the farmer
but better than the average man ran
obtain in any other industry, and any
talk of $5.00 a day for box drivers
should be condemned severely. We
want to save the wheat regardless of
irst and we can do that if the agita
tor is quickly spotted and given to un
derstand that his part is to work and
to create unrtst. The Couny
gent will appreciate any informa
tion which will assist in 1 ocatliij
.hose men who are creating trouble
A letter received recently by the
unty School Superintendent is of
i ercst to every cittzen in Morrow
t unty. It indicates the valu of each

by Mrs. Brown who taught at Kisht

plendid example of thrift that rails

Heppner, Oregon.
My Dear Mrs. Shurte:
I would like to toll you how very
niioh the shoulder shawl v. a appre
ciated at Pittsburg. It was the occa
sion of more comment than any one
ather article in the exhibit and A.'iss
ustine Cook, who is in cnarge of the
girl's work at National Headquarters
asked to take it to Washington to put
it in the permanent exhibit there as
a sample of thtrtittf work. I is one
of he best things I have Keen. Yoi
will be interested to know that J?i;:s
Cook is the niece of Professor Wirtli
who is the founder of the Gary, Indi
ana school system.
Sineerely yours,

Director, Junior Membership.
UNLAWFUL WEEDS
Weeds have commenced their drive
and unless the farmer checks their
growth, it is doubtful if many of
them can be apprehended before fall.
Once the weeds secure a foothold,
every farmer knows the persistency
with which they hold on. Their dam
age is enormous each year and the
ways in which they injure are too
many to mention.
Oregon has many very troublesome
weeds. We also have several which
the state legislation has listed as nox
ious weeds. The laws, "Paragraph
6458-6469 Inclusive," on our State
Books compels the cutting of these
weeds before the seed has commenc
ed to form. At the last session of the
Legislature, the following Canada
Thistle, St. John's Wort, Goat or Tip-
tin weed, Chinese Thistle or Prickly
Lettuce, Marsh Elder, Poverty or
death weed, Iva Burr, Silver or Fail
Weed. Cockle Burr, Silver Salt Brush,
Tumbling or Jim Hill Mustard, and
Russian Thistle.
While most farmers realize the
danger from infestation, many con
sider weed control as less imperative
than treating the seed, sowing the
seen, cultivating and harvesting the
crop. Weed control is undertaken
only when the other farm work is not
pressing, hence is not continuous and
persistent. There are those individ
uals who do all in their power to eli
minate the weed pests on their land
while others make not the semblence
of an effort to fight them. This at
best is a very deplorable condition.
Community iooperation is absolutely
necessary for bast results. The law
provides for these who will not co
operate and who make no effort to
eradicate these weeds on their pre
mises. It is the duty of the road su
pervisor In each road district to hunt
out these individuals who persist In
allowing the weeds mentioned above
to go on producing their seed year af
ter year and allowing it to become
scattered over their neighbor's fields.
The Kaiser Is Biting on Granite."
What are the kaiser's troubled
thoughts in the night hours, when
sleep dies from his pillow, when all
the trappings of imperial power are
invisible, and he is alone with his
guilty conscience and his angry God?
Moments must come when accusing
reflections and black despair are his
portion. Moments must come when
'ear deepens into conviction in his
baffled mind that he is treading a
dreadful course that must tnd in
"no throughfare," no fur:tier pass
age. L?ng ago he must have become
errified by the unbreakable will of
ho opposing nations to fight on to
ultimate victory. When he reflects
upon the fact that France, with all
its sufferings and sacrifices, after
'.ho dark days of 1014 and the dark
weeks of 1915 and 1916 and 1917.
with a ninth of its territory stolen,
and more than half of its manhood
';illed or crippled and all of its wo
mankind bereaved and saddened, and
its children orphaned or impoverish
ed that France still fights on with
heroic joy of battle what expecta
tion can he find that France can be
made to listen to peace terms by
another weakened German offensive?
After the Marne, and after the
dark hours of last March, what
force and feat of Prussian arms can
give the kaiser hope of victory?
Russia's collapse only deepened
the allied will to further fighting.
Italy's narrow escape from irretriev
able disaster only heightened the
heroic purpose of its people. Bri
tain's dreadful losses at the Dardan
eles, in France, in Flanders, in dis
tant Asia, have but intensified the
heroic purpose of its sons and
daughters.
France, Belgium, Britain and
Italy have passed through a long
night of darkness and horror, and
ti'oir souls are unconrpiered and un
conquerable. They noM behold with
!oy unbounded the rise of a t csteru
iiar of th'i first magnitude and
'cfulgenre, bidding them fight on
with stout hearts r.nd uns'iaken reso
lution, even as that great star is
rC" lug jn the west the biessed signs
f dawn are painted in God's
l.eavens.
We are matching Prussian militar
1 r.i in guns, in airshlrs and in num
bers of fighting forces. We are
inre than matching the enemy in
the genius of generalship. But be
yond these we have the higher exal
latii.n that soes with a just cause
and the unbreakable spirit that has
faced four years of defeat and seem
ing disaster.
Hasten, then, embittered prince
of Hohenzollern, to make such terms
as yet may be possible with an
avenging Nemesis, for your phllos
phy is false, your cause is lost,
your crimes are gigantic, and God
!n his heaven has set his great day
of retribution. Spokesman Review.
