If there is one crop which the farmers of Morrow County raise which real ly requires definite and positive at tention it is our boys and girls. We should try to inoculate in the boy and girl of today a real realization oi what better farming means to the financial fund relative to good farm ing and good methods and above ali things, inculcate in their systems while they are young the fact that life on the farm is really worth while. If you believe in helping your boys and girls to get a real start to feel a defi nite interest in taking up farm work when you lay it down, back the farm boys' and girls' club movement and back the County Court in spending a little bit of money to develop your boys and girls in the line of farming that they certainly should know. r..'..t rs !. r.-.t'.k producers in that .'.',:' u ntro'.s the product of ' : co j.

Boys and girls in club work learn to keep accurate accounts from day to day of their projects. In animal feeding, for example, their records contain such items as cost of feed, cost of hired labor, if any, value of club member's time or labor, re ceipts from sales or value at end of feeding period, and profit. Aside from the value of the work to the boy or girl in the project itself, there is a training and educational value in complete and accurate record keeping and a benefit from actual ownership, which will be helpful ft these future farmers when they as sume larger responsibilities. THE OREGON POULTRY ASSOCIATION. Most of you w ho have been watch ing the egg market have noticed that the Oregon Poultry Association has been getting a little above the market for its eggs. Now the association members hens lay a good deal the same kind of eggs that the average hen lays and if you have not been getting the market quotation given for the poultry association eggs there is probobly a reason. See the County Agent about the Oregon Poultry As sociation. It will be worth your while to sell your eggs for as much as your neighbor in the Willamette Valley receives for his. The most important part of a tire :s not the part which can be seen but the part that is hidden away under the rubber surface in the carcass, -ays the United States Tire Company. It is for this reason that mere looks .ount for so little in judging the merits of a tire. In the great tire factories of the United States Tire Company nothing s left to chance. If a workman slights his work he cannot hope to have the imperfection escape notice, for one out of every twelve workmen ' s an inspector and every piece of work turned out by every wokman is ! carefully inspected after he has com pleted his part of the work of build i :ng up a tire. As a consequence of this careful ! ness only one tire in every thousand ; has any imperfection in it when iv . comes up for final inspection. These i imperfect tires are set aside and on 1 ly perfect tires reach the consumer, j This is the only proper course to i pursue for a business enterprise ! which handles so expensive an article of commerce as an automobile tire. A new tooth paste can be successfully 1 marketed for a time through adver j tising alone, but an article which ! costs as much as a tire is sold on ! reputation, on somebody's statement that it has given him good service. The United States Tire Company's factories are among the oldest in the i business. Its Morgan & Wright, G. ! & J., and Hartford plants were I famous in the days when bicycles were all the rage. Through all these years they have pursued the policy of careful, painstaking workmanship, and this policy is now bearing fruit in tremendous sales of United States tires. Adv.

To have the pains and aches of a ; bad back removed to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uri nary disorders, is enough to make ' any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suf-' fered, will prove helpful to hundreds of Heppner readers: ; Mrs. B. G. Slgsbee, K St., Hepp ner, says: "Speaking from personal experience, I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for have always found ! them just what they are represented ' to be. When I get that tired, dull ache across the small of my back and notice my kidneys are not acting right, I get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. After taking them a few days I feel as well as ever." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Sigsbee had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. ' Mrs. Geo. 3.

Having first looked through what bul letins and information available, I would like to say for the benefit of : those who may be interested that the ; life of a wire worm from the date of :, hatching until its ultimate demise is j about four years. During three years of this time it is an active ; in the ground between two and four ; inches under the soil. In the third ; year of its life it passes into a chrys alis stage and hatches out into our great and notorious stink bug and Is ; Been traveling about over the sur-1 face of the land during the summer and autumn months. During the fall , the same bug lays its eggs in the nest , in the ground between two nad four ; inches deep and then dies. It is : through the destruction of these , nests that the farmer may best hope j to destroy this bug. Our summer- I fallow cultivation does not dig deep- j er than three inches but the disturb- i ing of this depth of ground with the , ordinary rod or a blade weeder in the late summer or fall will probably j have a beneficial effect in destroying ; these pests. j This year Morrow County made an 1 enviable record at the State Fair I through winning first prize over all j competing Eastern Oregon counties in the Agricultural exhibits and win- j ning first prize in club work. We believe that these efforts are really worth while. It gives the county a prpfprence among other counties in j the (state that is of value to every property owner in the county. We believe that there is no way that the taxpayer who wishes to encourage people to come into the county and ; assist in its development can better j spend a little money than in support ing an exhibit to the State Fair. In regard to the club work, we think a great deal of credit should be given two or three individuals who have made it their particular business and through personal sacrifice have gained the great record that has been i made possible. j THE OltKCOX DAIRYMEN'S !
