On September 3rd the Priorities Commis
sioner of the War Industries Board, Issued Circular
No. 21. Among other things this document, saving
certain exceptions, absolutely prohibited, all NEW
construction, except such as might be allowed
under definite regulations touching the issuance of
permits.
With the purpose of learning whether a modi
fication of the order would be consistant with the
Government's needs a committee representing state
and regional organizations of retail lumber dealers,
comprehending a membership , of approximately
ninety-five hundred, came to Washington to confer
with the Priorities Commissioner, Judge Edwin B.
Parker.
The situation was canvassed in a broad spirit.
The retailers' committee urged that as the order
stood It might result in unnecessary curtailment
of farm improvements and thereby in a measure
indirectly handicap the all important subject of
food conservation.
While recognizing the force of this suggestion,
the Government officials, however, reasoned that
the supreme need of the hour was LABOR FOR
ESSENTIAL AND DIRECT WAR WORK.. To
permit building operations, even on the farm, to
go forward unchecked would Inevitably weaken the
nation's war labor need and this at a time when
the Government was seeking to put In play every
ounce of our power, both in men and resource, to
crush the enemy of 'all haxnaiiity.
Finally, after the earnest representations of
the committee it was agreed that Rule 2 of
Circular No. 21 be changed to read:
"REPAIRS OF OR EXTENSIONS TO EXIST
ING BUILDINGS rNVOLATTNO IN THE AGGRE
GATE A COST NOT EXCEEDING TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS (52500.00), AND NEW
CONSTRUCTION FOR FARM PURPOSES ONLY
INVOLVING IN THE AGGREGATE A COST NOT
EXCEEDING ONE THOUSAND ($1000.00) DOL
LARS." The committee gave its pledge to the Priority
Commissioner that the industry would In every
way in its power see to it that the thought was
brought home to the purchaser that skilled labor
should be employed only In case of absolute
necessity. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEREVER
POSSIBLE THE BUILDING WORK SHOULD BE
DONE BY THE FARMER AND HIS OWN HELP,
AND NO NEW WORK UNDERTAKEN EXCEPT
WHERE ABSOLUTELY NKKDED.
It is therefore up to the industry to keep faith
with Washington. The ronst important thing in
life right now Is to utterly crush the Hun. No
personal interest, no selftah purpose should inter
fere with this great need.

Resigns as County Agent,
F. R. Brown, Morrow County Agri
cultural Agent for the past year, has
tendered his resignation to the
authorities of the Oregon Agricultur
al College, under whose jurisdiction
he has been working, the same to
take effect just as soon as a suc
cessor can be named. Mr. Brown
has associated himself with F. A.
McMenamln of this city In the for
mation of a company known as The
Farmers' Exchange of the Inland
Empire, with head offices at Heppner.
The new organization will handle
income tax statements, conduct
auction sales and handle other mat
ters in which the farmers and stock
growers of their territory may be in
terested, and we predict that they
will have a fine line of business,
judging from the calls already com
ing (o them. Mr. Brown has made
good in his position of County Agent
and we feci quite sure that his
earnest efforts to bring about better
conditions among the farmers of this
county has met with universal ap
proval and they will be sorry to have
him retire from the job. Whether
an agent will be maintained here the
coming year has not yet been fully
decided and will depend largely on
what funds will be available for this
purpose from the general government.
Sul phur Increases Yield of Alt'tUfu.
Should Be Applied Early.
Reports from all parts of the state
show that one hundred pounds of
sulphur sown broadcast or drilled
into the soil of alfalfa fields will in
crease the yield one ton per acre.
On trial in this county carried out
on the far.m of Jack Hynd, under the
direction of the County Agent has
shown that the same results will
apply to Morrow county, especially
along Willow creek. Mr. Hynd ap
plied sulphur to two acres of his
alfalfa at the rate of 120 pounds per
acre and was rewarded with an In
crease of .7 of a ton per acre. The
total cost of the sulphur and work
of applying it was $4.40 and with
hay selling at $20 per ton returned
a net profit of $9.60 perSocre. It is
hot every day a farmer obtains such
good returns on his Investment. The
sulphur should be applied bteween
now and the first of February for
best results. Other trials will be
carried out during the coming season.
Mrs. Anette Glassford, of Cor
vallis, has been visiting for several
weeks past with her relatives In
Morrow county. She came here with
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Owen on their
return trip from the Willamette
Valley, and Is visiting with the family
of Mr. Owen in Hepner. Mrs. Owen is
her daughter. Mrs. Glassford was a
pioneer resident of Morrow county
having lived at Hardman when there
was no town there. Her family left
this county and went to Corvallls
nearly thirty years ago and this Is
the first time that she has visited
Heppner since.
Charles Barlow was compelled to
abandon his express and delivery
business on Tuesday and retire to
his home a victim, apparently, of
the flu. His case is not serious at
this time.
