Last year if having good and suffi
cient reason it was found impossible
to complete a return by March loth,
corporations, individuals and part
snips were permuted to file ou or be
fore March loth, a tentative return
and were given an extension of 4a
days in which to hie a complete re
turn. Conditions which justified
such extensions do not exist this year.
Where additional time is actually
required because of illness or absence,
an extension of time not to exceed
30 days may be granted upon written
application therefor made before the
return is due. This, however, only
applies to specific cases of illness or
absence.
Where a fiscal year has been estab
lished in the Collector's office the
dale of tiling Income Tax Returns is
the fifteenth day of the third month
from the close of the accounting per
iod, but this does not apply to the in
formation returns referred to which
must be filed as above.

The first load of wool of the 1920
ciip has arrived in Condon for ship
ment, having been brought in from

leniilier, who has finished shearing

There has been considerable activ
ity in the sheep business during the
past week, a number of sales having
been made. Indications all point to
a big demand for sheep.

WHAT 10 YOt TH1AK OF
AMERICA?
America stands before the world
as a great concrete fact. The war has
cast a flood of light upon it. Ameri
ca was not discovered in 14S2; it was
discovered in 1917 and 15(18, by the
rest of the world and also by our
selves. America went to war for an ideal.
It sent two million men across the sea
and was preparing to send two mil
lion more, with other millions still in
reserve. It raised billions for war
purposes with an ease that amazed
the world and scarcely touched its re
sources. It gave hundreds of mill
ions for war beneficence. It organiz
ed its industrial facilities into a sin
gle machine ot incredible powers. It
revealed a spiritual capacity for sym
pathy, self-sacrifice and exalted loy
alty of which we ourselves had never
dreamed. The war came to an ab
rupt end when America had only be
gun to exert its giant strength, while
almost unlimited resources were still
in reserve. This was the nation which
we saw in the light of a dazzling
transfiguration only a few short
months ago.
Let us not forget the vision, for
already it is becoming apparent that
this land of ours is Infested with
swarms of enemies to every ideal for
which America stands. Impudently
presuming upon the good-natured
tolerance which has been so charac
teristically American, these vicious
agitators have gone to almost unbe
lievable lengths in their attempts to
tear down and to disintegrate. Most
amazing of all, they have received the
encouragement of various so-called
"intellectuals" who have sought to
obscure with a haze of theory and
doctrine the stark question of good
and evil.
Fellow Americans, let us see these
things clearly and simply. Let us
make no mistake about the meaning
of the present disorder. It Is not aim
ed at the correction of our defects;
its fundamental purpose is destruc
tion destruction of our civilization,
destruction of our nation and destruc
tion of our Ideals.
Two years ago we thought that
America was good enough to sacrifice
for, to fight for and, If need be, to
die for. Do we still think so? Let
the line be drawn clearly and sharply
and let us take our stand with all the
earnestness, alertness and determina
tion that we possess. Let us show
by our actions what we really think
of America.

Humming Spring Wheat
Shall we harrow the spring wheat
this year? That is a question that is
ssked the County Agent a great many
times every week. We admit that we
haven't been here long enough to
know it o,iiite all et in Morrow coun
ty, but judging from experience of
most ferniers we say be careful ab
out it. we doubt if it will give you
any results. We would like to re
mind you again that in Sherman
county it has not been proven benefi
cial and the farmers there have quit
harrowing spring grain, unless they
have weeds to kill. We know that
there are some tendencies towards
crusting of the ground this year, but
wo do not feel that the harrow is
noing to relieve the crust enough to
justify the expense of the operation
over most of the county. In Sherman
county it is given a uniform decrease
yield of 2 bushels per acre each year.
If you must harrow save a little piece
to test it out.

Irrigation Contract to be Considered.
The people in the irrigation district i
in the north part of the county are
parsing this week on an important
matter in connection with their Irri
gation District in regard to a contract
with the Federal Government. The ,
secretary, Mr. Camp, has been dis-!
cussing the matter at the meetings
of the Farm Bureau at both Board- j
man and Irrigon, and there seems to
be no doubt but what the plans pro-:
posed by the Irrigation District Board '
w ill be approved by the settlers, this
speaks well for the general harmony ,
on the project as we know of several
irrigation districts which are not so
harmonious.

Willow Brand Butter
Insist on WILLOW BRAND and you
will not go wrong. It costs no more,
but contains genuine butter value.
WILLOW BRAND Butter is a made-at-home
product, fresh, pure and rich
in that delicious "buttery" flavor.
Butterfat which goes into the production of WILLOW BRAND Butter comes
from the dairy herds of the uplands and creek farms of Morrow County.

Pine City Organizes Farm Bureau.
February 25, the people of Pine
City met with the County Agent to
consider the question of good roads
and the problem of the water rights
on Butter creek. An enthusiastic
meeting was held and after some dis
cussion it was decided that these and
other questions of interest to the
community could be better handled
by a definite organization, so a Farm
Bureau was organized and the iol-
lowing committeemen appointed:
Chairman, E. P. Jarmon, secretary,
Ralph Corrigal, road committeeman
C. H. Bartholomew, cooperative mar
keting Ed. Neill, labor committeeman
W. W. Howard, wheat varieties Ear
nest Boylan, live stock improvement
Tom Boylan, rodent control A, E.
Wattenberger, water rights and alfal
fa Roy Neill. Some of the commit
tees are already at work.
Important Road Meeting to be Held
By Farm Bureau
The Morrow County Farm Bureau
Road Committee has not been idle
and they have gradually worked out
a plan during the winter which looks
towards building a road through the
grain section north of Lexington, as
far east as Butter creek and reaching
into the irrigated land, between Irri
gon and Boardman. With this in view
an important meeting will be held in
Alpine, on the 11th day of March, to
which every interested party is invit
ed to attend. Representative men
and interested farmers from Irrigon,
Boardman, Wells Spring, Lexington,
Alpine and Pine City are urged to be
present. The Alpine schoolhouse at
2 o'clock, on March 11. Be sure and
be there.
