about 80 acrea per day.
Scott & McMillan are bulldini; a large
extension on their warehouse tr; untxl-
p "on of lh largest what crip ifr
delivered to the Lexington wareno'isos,
this Is based upon the number of sacks
sold and contracted.
Jos. Uurgoyne bought Fred Lucas'

by the Lexington warehouses this sea
son. The Sand Hollow district reports
good yields. Lonnle Copenhaver is
threshing Wm. Huebner's (00 acres.
A lire was reported from Qene Gen
try's last Saturday, but it proved to be
straw burning In the road along his

during the last week.
W. F. Harnett finds that his turkey

. Cfcnatnaann Opens Taday.
At three o'clock this afternoon, Hepp
ner's Chautauqua, consisting ot twelve
excellent programs, opens In the big
tent on K. of P. lot at west Main and
lialllmure streets, the same place the
Chautauqua waa held last year. The
big tent arrived on Tuesday evening
and the committee waa busy all day
Wednesday and this forenoon In get
ting It up, and now everything Is in
readiness for six days of real enjoy
ment and recreation.
That the dates came this year just at
harvest time is a circumstance the lo
cal committee la not responsible for,
and they regret that it could not be
changed. However, as stated In these
columns last week, this should not pre
vent the harvesters from attending at
least the evening sessions, and it Is the
desire of the management that they
do thla There will be no complaint
whatever if you appear in harvest
"duds" and you will be Just as welcome
as though you were In your best. So
drive In after the work of the day and
enjoy the fine programs.
A two million bushel wheat crop for
Morrow county Is the conservative es
timate made by the knowing ones, and
from the reports this paper Is able to
gather at the present from the outfits
that are busy putting the grain In the
sack, we believe this will be about tho
figure to look for when the final estim
ates are turned in. So far every field
of grain is turning out better than was
expected and the quality In nearly ev
ery Instance is No. 1.

MrSasser Bara at lone Burns.
The barn on the farm of C. W. Mc
Nanier right at the lower end ot lone
was completely destroyed by fire on
last Friday, and for a time it was a
struggle to keep the fire from spread
ing into town. A high wind waa blow
ing and the barn was Boon reduced to
ashen. In the meantime, flying embers
started up a lire in the Tum-A-Lum
yards and the livery barn was also ig
nited and It kept the citliens of the
little city very busy preventing a ser
ious disaster. No stock or other prop
erty of value on the McNamer place
was destroyed but it looked for a while
like the residence would be taken and
it took some heroic work to save It
Mr. McNamer was the victim of a fire
about a year ago that destroyed the
barn on the place, and he thinks now
he will wait a while before putting up
another. The barn was fully insured.
William Thomson, merchant of Hepp
ner registered at the Imperial, says
thnt the new hotel In that town has
been closed after only a few months
ot glory. The explanation is that the
people of Heppner eat and sleep at
home; tho fanners are busy and are not
cumlng to town, and there are very few
commercial travelers making that 'ter
ritory. There will be a big wheat
crop In Morrow county, Mr. Thomson
reports, and some ot the grain Is al
ready under contract for 11.10 a bush

fl III II FIELDS
Tuesday evening a fire alarm was
phoned to Lexington that Louis Mar
quardt's grain field on the Base Line
was on fire. Harvesting crews In the
neighborhood, and several car load of
fire fighters rom Lexington rushed to
the scene. The fire started on the west
side of an eighty acre field of Turkey
red wheat A large V was burned
across the 80 to an adjoining field of
summerfallow where It was halted.
Some 25 acres of standing grain waa
burned and about forty sacks of thresh
ed grain that was laying in the stub
ble. Mr. Marquardt believes that the
fire was started by a spark from the
muffler on the gas engine of the har
vester, as it was first discovered about
twenty feet In the grain after they" had
passed with the combine. The field
was yielding about 20 bushela per acre,
and the loss Is estimated at $600, with
no Insurance.
On Wednesday afternoon word came
Into Heppner that there waa a fire in
the field of grain on the Ktncald place
In Blackhorse, belonging to W. B.
Tucker, and a number of cars went
out from here loaded with men to as
sist in checking it. The fire started
from some unknown cause In the
bunchgrass along the side ot the field
and was soon Into the grain. The grain
on the place Is very heavy and there
was a stiff wind blowing which urged
the flames along and about thirty acres
of the grain was destroyed before the
(Ire was finally extinguished, and Mr.
Tucker's loss will not be less than
$1000. Word being sent out by telt-
phone It was not long before assistance
arrived from adjoining farms and from
Heppner and Lexington.
There Is much dry grass along the
roads and lanes and people can not be
too careful In throwing down lighted
matches and cigar and cigarette stubs.
A little thing may cause a great fire
to spring up and no end of damage to
standing grain be done. These parties
are to be congratulated that they got
off as well as they did. A day like
yesterday was a bad one on the hills
and the wind was strong enoagh that
many harvest crews were compelled to
lay off. He carried some Insurance.
This Is the season of tho year when
Chautauqua la In the thoughts of wide
awake thinking men and women In
practically every community In the
Northwest. Just as we carefully choose
our teachers for our schools, pastors
for our churches, or the college or uni
versity which we wish our children to
attend, Just ns carefully should the
question of Chautauqua service be con
sidered.
The new non-profit basis under which
Ellison-White is now operating and the
ruling of the Treasury Department thnt
no war tax be collected from commit
tees receiving Ellison-White service
are facts which no community can af
ford to overlook.
Elllson-Whlto Chnutauquas have
grown from one small circuit of 42
towns In 1 91 S to approximately eleven
hundred assemblies In 1921, operating
in 13 stntes, 4 Canadian provinces, Aus
tralia and New Zealand. This expan
sion gives them a buying power greater
than any Chautauqua Bureau In the
country today and Is the only Bureau
In the West having access to the Affil
iated list of talent.
This exceptional growth hnB been
brought about through consistent, con
scientious and conservative "SERV
ICE."

MIDSUMMER MADNESS
Council Settles With
Concrete Pipe Company
At the mid-monthly meeting of the
city council held on Monday evening,
a final settlement was made with the
Concrete Pipe company of Walla Walla,
who put in that portion of the pipe
line for the city water works. The
company has been keeping up repairs
to the line, and it was found that the
provision of the contract that there
should not be an eifcess of ten per cent
seepage through the pipes at a certain
period had been complied with, and
the company were now entitled to the
balance of their contract money.
Another matter was the action of the
council authorizing the county court
to tender to the McHaley estate (250
and Lee Slocum 1400 as damages on ac
count of the passing of the highway
through their property near the head
of Main street The impression seems
to be that should these parties not ac
cept thla offer, condemnation proceed
ings will be instituted.
E BEE
FROM PROF. SCULLEN
See that there is a new quen In the
hive each year as young queen's mean
vigorous colonies, old queens mean
weak colonies with sluggish life.
Select your queen brood from the
best hive on your farm in order to
build up Btrength. A good queen will
lay from five to four thousand eggs a
day, being nearly twice the weight of
the queen herself.
In order to get a new queen into an
old hive go to the old hive and clean
out all the brood and kill the queen,
then go to the hive from which you
wish to get your queen stock and take
a frame of broods being sure that there
are fresh eggs in the brood and take
this to your old hive. If you have left
your hive queenless for four or five
hours you should have little difficulty
in getting them to accept the new
brood from which to ralBO a good
queen.
Do not allow your bees to swarm.
This can be prevented by giving plenty
of room in the brood nest. When you
find that tho bees are thinking of
swarming go into the hive and put on
another frame and raise out a good
large share of your brooder combs and
put It in the upper section then place
a full foundation sheet in the lower
section giving the queen plenty of
working room for a new stock.
Always use full sheet foundation In
your hive or use old combs. Full sheet
foundation combs prevent the develop
ment of drones in the hives, gives the
bees less real work to do and makes
more profitable bees.
It requires two and one-half pounds
of honey to grow a frame of five thou
sand bees, therefore, since your bees
must be produced Just before the honey
flow In the spring of the year about
June first you should have from twenty
to twenty-five pounds of honey In the
ordinary eight frame hive with a less
amount of honey you will have a weak
er bee colony.
Remember that one good hive Is bet
ter than three poor ones, Just as one
good cow Is better than three poor
oows.
A good hive will have from seventy
five to a hundred thousand bees during
the honey working season. Plan to
build your hive to this for the best
honey flow. When fall comes on they
should be reduced as they will by na
ture, to fifteen thousand.
Provide a shaded top In summer and
some cheap shelter for winter.
Combines are now running in the
fields of E. M. Hulden, O. C. Wageman
and Roy Misslldine of the Blackhorse
section and a fine lot of grain Is being
hnrvestcd. The machines have Just
stnrted up and In n few days these
men will be able to give a pretty close
estimate of their yields. They will all
have a lot of good quality grain to
bring to the warehouse.

INSPECTION OF FOREST
8E
Portland, Oregon, July 19. E. N.
Kavanagh, In charge of graxing in the
forest service offices here, and graxing
Inspector C. E. Rachford, trora Wash
ington, D. C, left here on July 15. for
six weeks inspection of the National
Forest grazing ranges in Washington
and Oregon. Their trip will take them
through the cattle and sheep country of
eastern Oregon and Washington, and
has for its purpose gathering data on
the ground regarding the actual value
of" the forage resources of National
Forest ranges.
Mr. Rachford is making a general
trip throughout the national forests of
the West on a two-year study of this
question of range valuation and now
comes to the Pacific Northwest on a
preliminary trip. The results it this
whole study of range valuation of the
Forest ranges has been promised to
Congress by the Forester, Col. Greeley,
and Mr. Kavanagh'a office will be re
sponsible for this work as far as the
Oregon and Washington Forests are
concerned.
Messrs. Rachford and Kavanagh will
go first to the Rainier Forest, then
through the Takima Indian Reserva
tion Into the Wenatchee Forest on to
the Methow and Okanogan valleys, to
Spokane. From Spokane they will go
to Pullman, Wash., to confer with men
at the Washington State Agricultural
college, then to Pendleton, and to the
Oregon State Experiment station at
Union. From Union they will proceed
to the Whitman National Forest at
Baker, then south to the John Day
country on the Malheur Forest, then to
the Ochoco, and Deschutes Forests,
probably going as far as Lakevlew.
Throughout the trip they will conte
with representatives of the agricultural
colleges of both states, with owners
and agents of private range lands and
representative stockmen In both states,
the aim being to Inspect typical ranges
and to secure the advice and sugges
tions of Interested parties. The final
ohject Mr. Kavanagh says, is to And
the best method of determining the
proper value in terms of the graxing
fees of the forage resources of the na
tional forests within the two states.
retulleton is boosting for a north and
south highway through Grant county
that will connect up with that city, and
recently a delegation of Pendleton bus
iness men visited various points In
Grant to survey the situation. They
are urging Umatilla county to get busy
on their end of the road, as they seem
to have the assurance that Grant coun
ty will spend all their market road
money In perfecting a road to the
Umatilla line. Pendleton fears that If
they do not get very busy, this money
will be spent In connecting up with
Heppner, hence their manifest interest
at this time. It is needless anxiety on
the part of the live wires of Pendleton,
for Heppner is asleep to this situation
and will make no move to keep Pendle
ton from getting what they are attei.
At least we are led to this conclusion
from the Indifference that exists here
In regard to this Grant county trade.
It is time for Heppner to wake up.
J. W. Flasher and family arrived at
Heppner yesterday from their home in
Boise, Idaho, and will visit for a few
days with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ball, the
parents of Mrs. Flasher. They are on
their way to Seattle where they for
merly resided. Mr. Flasher was pastor
of the Methodist church in this city a
number of years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bennett returned
from a two weeks outing in the moun
tains the last of the week, and Ed is
again back on the Job In the grocery
department of Minor & Co. He says
he had a fine time and lota of good
fishing. '
Robt. Carsner, the Spray stockman,
was in Heppner from his Hardman
ranch on Saturday. He is getting ready
to make a shipment of sheep to the
Portand market at the end of the week.
Mel Humphreys, farmer and horse-
raiser of Eight Mile was In the city to-

Bee Keepers Organize
Association at Boardman
! At a meeting held on July 11th at
i the residence of Ingvard Pkoubo, an
I der the direction of H. A. Scullen. sec-
l retary of the Oregon Beekeepers asso
ciation, the beekepers of Boardman and
vicinity organised an association to be
known as the Morrow County Bee
keepers association. The following of'
fleers were elected: Sylvester Atterber
ry, president; Paul Smith, vice presi
dent; C. H. Dillabaugh, secretary.
treasurer.
The annual dues were fixed at fifty
cents, payable In advance. Ten Joined
at the meeting but it waa decided to
hold the charter list open for ten days
to accommodate those beekeepers who
were unable to attend or had not heard
of a meeting blng called at the time
and place.
Mr. Scullen gave ua a very interest
ing and instructive talk on beekeeping
and answered such questions as only a
novice in the business could think to
ask. It was very evident from the
questions asked that what we didn't
know about beekeeping would make a
pretty big book. While we were near
ly all In the primer class of beekeepers,
Mr. Sculien's discourse covered not on
ly the A B C of bee culture, but also
the X T Z of the profession.
All beekeepers who wish to Join the
association as charter members may
send their name and fifty cents, annual
dues, to me on or before July list and
their names will be placed on the char
ter list Don't delay longer than the
21st as Mr. Scullen wants a list of all
members sent to him at about that
time.

models of propriety and obedience.
They return keen for another similar
experience.
Dr. R. J. Vaughan, who has been
spending a couple of weeks at Baker,
looking after interests he has over
that way, returned home Saturday. The
hay crop In Baker county is Immense
this season and should the farmers be
able to get stock to feed it to, they
stand in line to make some money. He
is of the opinion, however, that Mor
row county is facing much better times
because of the big wheat crop and
times will revive here much sooner
than in the less fortunate sections of
the state.
Chris Brown Is busy running the
header on his place about five miles
out west of Heppner. He will thresh
later. His neighbor, Henry Happold,
is now threshing on his place but has
not got along far enough to give an
accurate estimate on his yield. Grain
in that vicinity promises to go around
thirty bushela
Robert Buschke underwent an opera
tion on Sunday from which he is now
rapidly recovering, and which It is
hoped will be the means of helping his
general health.
J. W. Becket who is helping with

G rallied wltk Imnraventtat Shawn,
There is a marked improvement In
the quality of Morrow county wheat
this season over that ot a year ago.
certified here last year proved more
here last year proved more free from
mixture than that brought In from thn
outside and as it was widely used for
seed the Bluestem quality will be bet
ter this year.
The improved certified Turkey haa
held up In quality and the acreage haa
increased. The season has been an un
usually good one for Bluestem and
Forty-fold but even with that there
will be numerous changes to the cer
tified Turkey-red.
Nothing is more pronounced than the
big improvement in Forty-fold. Ws do
not recommend this variety for Morrow
county but since the variety was In de
mand clean seed was hunted op by Ore
gon Agricultural college representa
tives, certified, and broubht in by thn
Farm Bureau. The fields of badly mix
ed Forty-fold are being replaced by the
purs seed. The next step forward will
be to grow Turkey-red on the drier and
thinner soil In the north end of the
county and Hybrid 128 on the heavier
and more moist soils. Experiment sta
tion results show that Turkey-red and
Hybrid 128 regularly outyleld Forty
fold. Forty-fold suffers worse from dry
weater than Turkey and shatters badly.
Hybrid 128 Is a Uttle later than For
ty-fold or Turkey and is therefore only
suited to the deeper soils of the south
end of the county. It does not shatter.
It Is not a good variety for thin and
dry soils.
Without question Turkey-red Is ths
best variety for the lighter soils and
the middle to north end of county.
Probably the greatest virtue of Forty-fold
is that It Is a good hay wheat
and usually produces a thin stand.
Of the fields viewed this year In all
sections of the county the one estimat

HOW TO STOP CSUtlS WAVE.
Warden Botkin Discusses Reme
dies.
The best minds of America have re
cently been devoting a great deal of
attention to the prevelancy of crime
and seeking methods of prevention
and cure for this National di.-ease.
This year's Chautauqua brings one
of the progressive public men of the
country. Honorable J. D. llotkin who
as warden of the Kansas Penitentiary
has studied the matter first huud.
The present orgy of bank hold ups
gang murders, defaulting by officers
of big concerns, sex crimes and oth
ers have been variously charged to
the after effects of the war, the pic
turing of criminals In muvies, lapse
in religion, Influx of undesirable for
eigners, class hatred and many other
causes. Mr. Botkin discusses the
causes of crime as well as the rem
edy for it. In this latter connection,
such matters as delays in trial, avoid
ance of punishment through techni
calities, early pardons, capital pun
ishment, prison reform and other re
lated matters all receive attention.
Mr. Botkin Is a ple;islug speaker as
well as a close etudent of public af
fairs and a public nun of prominence.
He will address the Chautauqua on
the last afternoon.
It is in the Information supplied by
Chautauqua on great uueatlouH and
the inspiration to better living that
the Chautauqua has come to be con
sidered the great American open
forum. It Is a duty of all patriotic
citizens to hear such men as Warden
Botkin. However, In his case, It la
a pleasure aa well. Nothing Is more
gripping than the stories of men woo
have "gone wrong" and refonueii.
