DIES VERY SUDD
Morrow County Will Have Its
Biggest Average Yield of Grain
from the early reports coming In, it!
is now evident that Morrow county will
this season harvest Its biggest aver
age yield of gram. Heretofore the av
eiage has never been far above IS
bushels per acre, but should the present
yield hum good we cuuuuently expect
that it will exceed 2u bushels for the
entire county, 'thirty to thirty-five
bushels are reported from different sec
lions now and the threshing is Just get
ting well under way. Threshing Is
now speeding up in the north end of the
county, and there is every Indication
that the lone, Lexington and Morgan
sections will have the largest yields In
their history, the lighter lands in many
instances bringing the average far
above former years. Some slight dam
age has occurred to spring bowii grain
in different part of the county, owing
to the recent hot spell, yet this will not
be in proportion to what it has been
other seasons.

tion.
Going Into the great South ice from
South Georgia, the southermost front
er of inhabited land, Shackleton and
his men pushed toward th pole which
not long before had been discovered
by Amundsen, until they were three de
grees away from It where their ship,
the Endurance, was caught in the Ice
and finally crushed. From here they
started back over the Ice, drawn by
logs, among haiardous mountains of
white glistening Ice.
At last they camped, and the Ice upon
which they had stopped broke off from
the great mnln field, and drifted. For
ten months they were unable to get off
this great cake of Ice, drifting In the
cold seas of the unknown south. When
they came t such a place that they
could make the dash Shackleton took to
the sea In the "James Calrd," a life

J
Professor H. A. Scullen, of Corvallia,
who has been in the county for two
days during the last week is authority
tor the statement that the state of Ore
gon at the present time produces about
sixty car-loads of honey each year,
This la quite a surprise to many of our
ucal producers who are a little In.
Kilned to imagine that honey la sold by
(.he pound instead of the car load.
When w e figure what a pound of honey
ordinarily costs when we buy It for
the table wee an easily conceive what
the immense returns are from this
quantity of honey.
There are many things which the am
atuer bee-keeper does not take Into
consideration in the handling of his
colonies. A good coat of white paint
is worth while to the hive; in the first
place it saves the hive from the wea
ther; in the second place white as
color throws oft more heat than any
other color and the bees keep cooler
therein. In addition to this there should
be a shade board of some kind on top
of the hive so that the bees In their
work house will he as cool In the hot
weather as possible. Another point
that should not be overlooked is that
there should be ventilation between
the top of the honey frame and the top
of the hive of at least a half or three
quarters of an inch, the cap, however,
should fit comparatively tight
It is not generally realized that the
tendency of Italian bees Is to drift back
to the small black bee that Is usually
called the German bee and as every
body knows a German bee Is no good.
A continued restocking of the hive Is
necessary to maintain the Italian
train. The Italian bee is a better
worker than the Black bee and is not
so vicious and Is more prolific
The worker bee will, In the winter
months when there Is no real work be
ing done live all winter, but In the sum
mer and during the busy season the
worker bee lives from six to seven
weeks only, while It Is true the queen
does live all the way from four to sev
en years yet an old queen Is a very poor
asset to a hive.
Professor Scullen gives four funda
mentals for profitable bee keeping:
1st. Good working conditions.
2nd. Good weather conditions.
3rd. A flower crop for honey within
reach of the hive.
4th. Storing instinct must be dom
Inent in the bee.
The second condition depends upon
location but anywhere in Morrow coun
,, ,ne bm Un(Jer the fh tQ
haye flower fclndy Ry of he creek
ranches or Irrigation district ranches
can qualify. The first condition, a good
working force of bees regulres real
care of the hives and the securing of
a good queen. Fourth, this Is pretty
largely a result of good care and queen
as well. There Is no question but most
of the queens In Morrow county should
be killed off this fall and a new queci.
substituted. They will cost 11.00 or'
11.60 apiece but will undoubtedly be a
good Investment as most of our bees
are wild bees, only a few Imported bee
queens being In the county at the pre
sent time.

All business houses In Heppner glad
ly responded to the call Issued by May
or Noble for a half holiday on Tuesday,
and there was a unanimous compliance
with the order to come out and help
clean up the catches of dry grass all
over town. It waa thought at Brat that
the half day would be sufficient to get
over all the city, but when the work
was started It soon developed that tha
task waa a bigger one than anticipated.
so It will be necessary to get out tha
fire truck and tackle other portloni
that could not be reached on Tuesday.
As it waa the most hazardous sec
tion! were burned over and the lira risk
on account of the dry grass on vacant
lota and around residences and bast
ness houses was reduced to tha extent
of about 90 per cent
Under direction of Fire Chief Mike
Curran, the fire truck with all available
hose, and some of the smaller hose
trucks were brought Into use, and while
a part of the time there waa a good
breeze blowing, the water waa always
at hand and there waa no chance for
the fire to get out of controL
There remains yet a Urge amount of
dry grass on the side of the hill Just
west of the city and this was not tackl
ed on Tuesday for fear that It might
get away from the fire lighters and get
Into the grain on the hill. However
Chief Cut-ran believes that he can han
dle this situation and will take hold of
It some quiet evening soon, when ha
can put a cordon of men along tha cat
tle trail to keep the lire from getting
beyond and Into the grain field. The
north end of the city will also have to
be worked out
There was revealed In the progress of
the work Tuesday, the fact that there
la a great deal of rubbish of one kind
and another piled up on various back
lots and thrown Into back alleys, that
Is a real fire menace. This should all
be gotten together somewhere and In-
clnderated and this additional risk done
away with. We hope some steps will
be taken by the authorities to see that
this Is done right soon. Much of tha
bid lumber is useless and fit only for
kindling wood, and the owners of this
should help to clean up by preparing
the stuff for their kindling piles and
storing It away In the woodshed for
use during the coming winter. If they
are not disposed to do this, let them
give it to someone who will.
The mayor and Chief Curran are very
grateful to the citizens of the city for
their unanimous response on Tuesday.
