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

a'cres a day for him and Mr. Sim on ton
is cutting about seventy-five acrei
per day. 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

method. Pictures of both machines

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
