Ha departed on Tuesday for other points on tha line of his itinerary, not revealing to thia paper any idea whatsoever of hia chances for nom ination in a field where there are at least three other very worthy and deserving brethren, so we are not able to impart any information as to Just how far Mr. Mansfield thinks he will get in tha race. R. H. Quackenbush la engaging quite extensively In the chicken but! ness on hia Rhea creek farm. He is producing large numbera of White Leghorn chicks and disposing of them immediately after hatching. Several hundred day-old chicks have already teen sold to his neighbors and at the present time Mr. Quackenbush has lbOO eggs in hia incubators.

Condi tions over that way are very fair, Marshall statea, though it ia notice able that there baa been a slacking up in tha demand for lumber and ahipments are not ao big as former ly. There is a reduction, also, in the number of men employed in the camps, but this has probably reached the point where it will remain fixed for some time to come. i During a trip to Boardman on Fri day, Sheriff McDulfee and District Attorney Notaon ran into a regular aand blizzard down toward the Col umbia.

But little effect of the storm was ex perienced at Heppner and other points farther aouth. The work of making the new grade down Cason canyon was begun on Friday by the county road crew and will be pushed along rapidly as there is a determination on the part of the county court to have the Hardman market road completed to Rhea creek in time for the coming harvest.

Humphreys rejoices over the completion of the well on his wheat farm northeast of Lexington. At depth of 168 feet, Mr. Edwards, the driller, got an Inexhaustible flow of good water, and he thinks that an ar- tesian flow would have been struck by going deeper. Mr. Humphreys Is well satisfied, however, with the pre aent volume of water and will put in hia pump and supply the ranch with all the water that is needed. Rev. E. L. Moore came in from Red mond Sunday evening to spend a few daya here packing up houeenoia goods. He waa formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church here but has accepted the pastorate there.

FARM POINTERS A good grazing practice on Oregon pasture lands is to keep the stock off the grass in the spring untli it has a start. Routing grazing different pastures each year to allow for this growth is most desirable, saya the Oregon station. Overstock ing on grazing lands is "killing the goose that lays the golden egg." Profit in beef or mutton production depends upon ample grass. An important step in good grazing practices is to allow some grass to go to seed every third or fourth year. For thia year 'a potato crop success ful Oregon growers select tracts as far as possible that have not been in potatoes for three years. They give this part of the operation great care, explains H. P. Barss, plant path ologist of the experiment station. Potato diseases accumulate rapidly in the soil where crop rotation is not practiced. Meat consumption can be best sta bilized If producers will pay closer attention to the quality of stock they produce. Off grade animals produce off grade meat, which is not readily consumed as good quality stuff. Dipping the sheep soon after shear ing is recommended as good Oregon practice by the state college exten sion service. It reduces the eost of dipping, keeps ticks off the lambs and increases the size and quality of the next aeason's clip. Summer pasture for young pigs is being arranged by forward-looking Oregon growera. Rape or grain for pasture is recommended by the col lege extension service where alfalfa is not grown. reseaUtive for Umatilla and Morrow Couattes la the coming primary Elec tion subject to tha will of the repub lican voters in such countiea.

ARCHIE NICHOLS, Lexington, Oregon. 4t. eDEL MONTE service counts too Equally important with the quality of Zero lene, which we believe to be the best oil made for the lubrication of the modern automobile, whether of eastern or western origin and irre spective of price, is the service offered by over 700 Standard Oil Company Service Stations and thousands of Zerolene dealers throughout the Pacific Coast states. A recent letter from the Del Monte Properties Company, Del Monte, Calif, makes this point: "We operate a fleet of twelve Winton cars in the guest passenger service in addition to quite a fleet of commercial type vehicles, ranging all the way from Fords to five-ton Packard trucks, all of which are lubricated with the Zerolene oils and greases supplied by your company. "The uniformly prompt and courteous treatment which we have received in connection with this service is a credit to your organization and it is put ting it mildly indeed to state that our experience both with your prod ucts and service has been highly satisfactory." Big users don't pay tribute to the superstition that there is some thing mysteriously "better" about "eastern" oils just because they cost more why should you? Insist on Zerolene, even if it does cost less. Change now to the brand that never changes and you'll never change again.
