THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1924. W. F. Mahrt. who ii farmin tha Jenkini placa on Eight Mils, wai in Heppner for a ihort tirna on Tues day. Mr. Mahrt will have no crop on the Jenkini farm thU leaaon, hav ing moved there in the apring. For several yeara he has been farming the Lyons place in the Gooseberry section, and he will harvest a crop there, which he thinks will yield around ten bushels. It Is his opin ion that the Eight Mile farmers will have a pretty fair yield this seaaon, perhaps getting the heaviest returns of any section In the county from the present prospects. It wjll be a couple of weeks yet before the har vest begins out that way, and many of the fields are green now but ap parently not suffering much from the heated spell. Reports from various farmers who are now in the midst of threshing grain around Lexington, Is to the ef fect that an average around ten bush els of good wheat is being made. There are some, however, who will not do so well, and some others may be a little better than this, "but this figure seems to be about what is ex pected. It will be a big slump over the figures of last season, when the Lexington country brought to the warehouses a bumper crop, but the prospective raise 'in price will com pensate In a measure for the short age. Farther to the north there will be a very slight yield, and many a field will not be entered with a view to threshing the grain. A delightful surprise party was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dob yns at their Eight Mile home on Sat urday evening, June 28, by about 60 of their friends. It is reported that a most enjoyable evening was spent In games and music, followed toy a splendid supper served at 12:30 and prepared by the Eight Mile people. Mr. and Mrs. Dobyns were presented with a beautiful coffee percolator by their friends. Grover Swaggart came over from Heppner Saturday to get Mrs. Swag gar t who visited a few days at the home of her aunt, Mrs. John Baker. Grover was accompanied home by Jean Crawford. They left Heppner at three o'clock Saturday afternoon and arrived at Joseph at eleven o' clock that night. Mr. and Mrs. Swag gart returned to Heppner Monday, going by wsy of Walla Walla. Jos eph Herald, Martin Behm, who is farming out northeast of lone, was a visitor in Heppner Tuesday. He states that there is being some heading done in his vicinity, but no combines running at present. The yield there will be light.

Morrow County Wheat Growers Cut Produc tion Cost (Morrow County Extension Service News) During certified seed wheat Inspec tions the past week two methods of cutting cost production of wheat were found, that it if believed worth while to pass on to the farmers of the county. Early in the spring the County Agent and Karl Beach and Roy Camp bell, of Lexington, visited Umatilla county and Inspected a number of roller type weederi being used in that county. These weeders were blade weeders having fourteen-foot blades hinged together and used roll ers In place of shoes, thereby pulling twenty-eight feet of weeder with from six to eight horses with one man to the weeder. As a result of this trip Roy Campbell made ft rod weeder running on short sled type runners instead of the rollers with a bar just below the rear runners. He has hooked two of these together and is pulling twenty-eight feet of weeder with eight head of horses very successfully. Pictures of this weeder are in the County Agent's office and can be seen by any farmer interested. Mr. Gene Gray of Lex ington has also arranged two fourteen-foot blade weeders together and is pulling twenty-eight feet of weed er with eight horses. One of the outstanding cuts in harvest expense that has been devel oped In recent years is an attach ment to a combine being used by Mr. Earl Sim on ton and Mr. T. W. Cuts forth of Lexington. These men both have Harris combines and have built on to the machine an extension feed er running straight back from about the middles of the combine header. This rests upon the weight braces behind the header and it has been found that by taking off two or three weights that the header is balanced. This extension feeder is run with a draper connected with the reel by a chain and located to allow an ordin ary header to run along side of the combine with the header spout lead ing into the extension feeder. With this device each of these men have added fourteen feet to the cut of their combines. On Mr. Simonton's outfit this makes a total cut of thirty two feet and Mr. Cutuforth's thirty GENERATORS STARTERS, MAGNETOS OVERHAULED Vulcanizing U. S.

It it estimated that the length of the run over a given acre age can be cut at least eighty per cent by this method. Fanners hav ing combines that can handle more wheat than their combine header euts can fix their machines to handle ex tra grain at a small expense, and a large number of the Morrow county combines can handle an extra header easily this season. The apparent out standing thing about this is that where the crop is too light to pay cutting with the present outfit en ough increased acreage can be han dled to pay for harvesting by this method. Pictures of both machines can be seen at the County Agent's office within the next day or two. Record of Fleece Weights on W, II. Cleveland Sheep. (Morrow County Extension Service Kew.) During the latter part of May, fleece weights were taken on the band of sheep of Mr. W. H. Cleveland, of Heppner. ThU waa the first year's records and the weights will be tak en for five years. The Cleveland sheep are of Delaine breed and have been carefully selected for a number of years. The rams used are pure bred and have been selected for heavy wool production. They are old and will be disposed of this year. They show an average fleece weight of 22 pounds as old bucks. The 1924 season was a favorable woo! year. It has been estimated by wool men that fleeces would average from one half to a pound snort than in 1923. The figures taken include three hun dred yearling ewes which are a part of the band. An average of one hun dred yearling fleeces was 12.24. Out of 1 191 ewes shorn, 1060 showed weights between ten and sixteen pounds with the largest share of this or 270 running between tweb and thirteen. The figures on the year lings shorn showed the tame number of pounds variation as the older ewes. The following is the numeri cal record of fleece weights.
