The sheepmen of the county axe
feeling keenly, the fact that there is
a great drop in the price of wool.
The president of the Idaho Wool

Turkey-red w heat from the seed ship
ped from Sherman county last year.
His neighbors report that it will yield
nearly 4 J bushels per acre.
Wm. B. Finley of Sand Hollow
was in town this week showing some
splendid grain from his place. Crops
are looking unusually well in his lo
cality. George Peck of Lexington sold a
bunch of beef which he wintered on
stubble and stram and fattened this
spring on extra grass. This is a good
way to farm the waste acres.
Evans brothers, Wm. Campbell,
and Creed Owens who used sulphur
upon their gardens this spring report
splendid growth and an entire ab
sence of worms. This is good news.
Grimm Alfalfa seed sowed on
Wighlman Bros, and Cliff Rugg ran
ches has been inspected and a splen

Immediately following tha John
Day Barbecue and as a partial result
of the same the directors of the Dis
trict entered into negotiation with
John H. Lewis and have since let the
contract for the survey of the entire
project to Lewis & Clark, consulting
engineers of Portland, Oregon.
Cultivate Your Wire Worm
Mr. C. E. Melville of Alpine, while
in town the other day, gave his views
of the wire-worm in the County Ag
riculturalist's office, which we have
hrard seconded by other farmers.
We repeat his observation here for
the consideation ot the farmers at
large and we would be glad it any
farmer who has seen evidence sim
ilar to that which Mr. Melville cited
or if he has a different opinion we
would be much obliged if he would!
call or write to the County Agent i
stating his view upon the matter.!
In the multitude of council there is)
much wisdom. He says that he has
noticed that in new land where the;
land laid up loose and where it was
impossible to cultivate with a bar
weeder or farm the ground or the
ground was tuU ot crevices that the
following year the wire worm was
considerably worse than in landi
iwhich was well tilled the preceding!
year. He also says that his observa-j
tions, prove conclusively, that where:
the ground is worked down and at
good firm seed bed is developed with
the clods upon the top and the dust
underneath that a great deal bettor i
yield is received the coming year.!
He also says that in his experience
harrowing wheat in the spring has
proved of no benefit only to kill
weeds. We mould like to hear from
some other farmers on these three
points. Please let us know.
New York Doctor Discusses
Worms In Younsr Children
Writing in the Journal of Auierl
cnu Medical Association on "The In
frequency of Intestinal Parasites In
Young Children' Pr. Stafford Mc
Lean of New York says the follow
ing: "Examinations made by two young
women ot Hunter College found that
a history of symptoms commonly as
sociated in the minds of the laity
with the presence of intestinal para
sites or worms' could be elicited fre
quently from parents of children over
12 months of age. The symptoms
which the parents most commonly
attributed to the presence of 'worms'
are restlessness at night, grinding of
teeth, picking the nose and lips, loss
of weight, capricious appetite and ir
ritability." These are not symptoms, according
to Dr. Hunter, as it was found out
of a total of 308 cases only two out
of each hundred had "worms."
Sand Hollow Fanner Receives

Oregon Wool Growers
Those sheepmen and fa'rmers who
attended the meeting of the Morrow
County Wool Growers association
will remember that it was planned
that the "Oregon Wool Groiwer"
would be mailed to them every
month. In this we have so far been
somewhat disappointed, and the let
ter from Mac Hoke, the secretary of
the Association will be of interest,
we hope.
"You have probably been wonder
ing "why the "Oregon Woolgrower"
has not reached you and I wish to
state in explanation that we have
been unable to secure necessary co
operation from other County Agents
which rwould justify our taking a step
in putt'ng out this paper. We have
therefore hesitated and are still hes
itating about publishing the first is
sue. The Wallowa county organiza
tion and the Heppner organization
are the only two that are giving us
support at this time and for that rea
son iwe have not felt justified in mak
ing any advances until we are sure
we are going to secure further as
sistance." As soon aB these details can be
overcome the paper will be Issued
according to schedule.
Russia's Warning
Many well meaning and thoroughly
patriotic Americans, are today feel
ing a desire for a betterment ot con
ditions in this country. We hope
the time shall never come when we
shall say no improvement is possible
for then, indeed, there will be little
left to live for. But in our anxiety
for more perfect freedom let us take
Russia for only what she is worth.
We have It from the lips of Count
Tolstoy that only 30 per cent of the
people ot Russia can read or write.
That the government of Russia is us
we aU know in the hands of the in
dustrialists ot the cities, who num
ber but 15 per cent of the people of
the country. This statement is borne
out by other observers. He also said
that the Government of the Bolshev
ists is the rule of the lowest class
of Russia's rif-raff as to this we
cannot say. There is an old addage,
"A stream can rise no higher than its
source." How can a government es
tablished by at least only a minor
ity and that an Ignorant minority
serve for the models ot an enlighten
ed world.
Let the example of Russia serve
for what it really is, the picture of
the condition we should flee farthest
from copying.
"By their fruits ye shall know
them," and their fruits have all been
of destruction, and no doctrine of de
struction can ever make for higher
civilization.

of his horse, which he was riding ut

Mr. Hanshew was thrown violently
to the ground. It was necessary for
him to get back on the horse and
ride a considerable distance to th?
house. He Iwas brought to town by
