The email triplicated three-row
blocks are harvested, the beads of
the bundles wrapped in paper, and
shipped to the Moro station for
threshing. As with any other trials
concerning farm crops or cropping
practices, it will require several
years of testing before results will
be obtained that can safely be relied
upon. Similar nurseries are being
grown in other eastern Oregon coun
ties, and the accumulated data on
Te!d. duality and plant characters
will be of great aid in judging the
general culture on our eastern Ore
g.in dry farms.
Thiis is the second year that grain
nurseries have been grown in Mor
row county. Last fall about three
doten winter wheat varieties were
gown in both nurseries, but these.
like the winter wheats o .most of
our Morrow county farms, failed to
stand the cold December weather. For
a considerable time it was thought
that some varieties would survive.
but the nnal result showed that every
variety in each nursery was killed
practically one hundred per cent
The same thin happened to the ex
tensive winter wheat nursery of more
than 4,000 varieties on the Moro sta
tion. Of the several nurseries il
eastern Oregon, the winter wheats
survived in only two, the one near
Tendleton in Vmatilla county and the
one near Dufur in Wasco county. In
the nursery at Lexington, many of
the winter wheats were reseeded on
February 16. In the Eight Mile nur
sery only spring grains were grown
this year.

The yields for 1925 bring out rath
er strikingly the superiority of the
true spring wheats for sowing as late
as February 16. Federation was the
highest-yielding variety. The two hy
brid wheats. No. 63 and 143, and Jen
kin, which are late spring varieties,
yielded consistently more than the
true winter wheats. Hybrid 128, or
dinarily a rather high-yielding win
ter wheat, made a very poor showing
when sown as late as the .midwle of
February. The Turkey wheats did
better.
The variety giving the highest av
erage yield for the two years was
Bluestem, a variety quite widely
grown in this section as a winter
wheat. It appears to be especially
well adapted to the Lexington local
ity. Notwithstanding the fact that
it lacks winter hardiness, it seems
to yield well, though on the average
it will likely be outyielded, as it was
this year, by Federation, either from
fall or from spring sowing.
The hybrid giving the second high
est average yield, P1068 x Preston, is
a variety somewhat resembling lur-
key when growing but with bard
white kernels. Federation, the new
variety introduced into Oregon by th
Moro station, which has done so well
in many sections of Eastern Oregon
ranked fourth in yield. In Umatilla
county this year Federation from
spiing sowing yielded from forty to
tiftv bushels per acre, quite a num.
her of farmers claiming yields higher
than fifty bushels.
White Odessa was also a high yield
er. This is one of the most promts
ing of the new smut-resistant variet
ies. It is a later maturing wheat
which seems to possess drought re
sistance to a remarkable degree.
TAKES BRISBANE TO TASK.
To the Editor of The Gaxette-Times:
In the "Thia Week" column of last
week's issue, Mr. Brisbane pictures
the man in white-washed walls, look
ing skew-eyed at the seeming extra
ordinary provision for the taking
care of the remains of their depart
ed. Tie world never knew how to be
have in the presence of motherhood
till tie "Founder of Christianity"
uttered His imperishable word of ex
altation of womanhood. But that same
Founder of Christianity never dis
graced the name of that finest tribe
of the human race who, from the
time Abraham bought of his neigh
bors the cave "where he might bury
bis dead out of his sight wherein
never man laid," wept with those who
wept when he stood with the sisters
PISCl SSES RODEO.
) the Editor, The Gazette-Times:
In a recent issue of your paper you
made an urgent appeal for the peo
ple of our city and community to take
an active part in, and give a hearty
support to tha Rodeo. Your appeal
was fine, and I wish' that we might
ave a full realization of that which
you urge.
I speak not only for those who have
the deepest concern for the best that
may come to every community, but
for the Christian ministry; that we
are alert for every agency that can
bring lasting pleasure, everything
that can contribute to the develop
ment of "four square manhood." We
are in for clean sports.
W e are Teady to support the men
who may be selected, who can "put
these things on" and can "put them
over." I confess, however, it is not
very reassuring to the people who
have worthy ideals, to have appear.
following this appeal referred to,
notice of a tryout of the features of
the Rodeo, to be conducted on Sun
day, thus "starting the affair off'
with a pace of Sabbath desecration.
I so compelled to say that since 1
have coma to the city, references to
the previous sessions of the Rodeo,
coming from people of unqustioned
integrity, have not bespoken for the
institution the best of reputation
Thia is to be regretted. It is disap
pointing to the people who would
otherwise give unstinted support to
an affair that ought to absorb the in
terest of the entire community. It
is to be hoped that the management
of the Rodeo may justly claim this
support.
Though Oregon does not now pos
sesa stringent laws upon the observ
ance .of the Sabbath, there is still
Christian conscience for the right and
profitable preservation of the Sab
bath. An utter disregard for, and
desecration of this day is traitorous
to the laws and best interests of our
community.
The highest devotion to, and the
deepest concern for the welfare of
the race, has obtained for America
in the Eighteenth Amendment, a great
security for our homes, and for the
nation. The flagrant violation of this
law is an insult to our flag and to the
standards of Americanism.
No sin of any community ever
walks alone. With desecration and
drunkenness social vice has ever
fund companionship. If eternal vig
ilence is the price of liberty, then
vigilant guardianship for the virtue
of the children of our homes as well
as for the children of the city is im
perative at this hour, and for this the
virtue loving people of Heppner are
today justly concerned. Any infring
ment of this sacredness of our youth
can but be met with our relentless
hostility.
There is a class of citizens in Hepp
ner who are deeply concerned for the
civic and moral welfare of the city.
If the management of the Rodeo want
the support of this ciass, let them
give assurance in the manner in
which it is featured, that those who
give it support will not be disgraced,
and I bespeak for it the most sub
stantial cooperation.

Only Legend Tell
About Sweeney Todd
A report to the effect that the

th Question: "Who la Uweenej

pwaoo and hla existence la account

The itory torn that Sweouey Todd
waa a barber of Fleet street who
had an unpleaaant way with bla
customer. For, according to tra
dition, If anyone cam tor a shave
who looked worth robbing, he would
aeat th man In a chair which
would presently capaita and throw
toe occupant Into a well or vault
below. There, It waa said, he would
mb the unfortunate fellow and aft
erward dlapoee of th body to a
confederate who kept a pie (hop In
the adjoining house, whose bake
house communicated with the vaults
of St. Dunatan'a church. While the
legend aaya that Todd waa hanged
at Tyburn, the annals of Newgate
have nothing about him. Bat
Sweeney Todd waa sufficiently fa
mous to figure In many old ballads
and melodramas.
Vast Army Employed
in Building Pyramid
In spite of modern skyscrapers,
fortresses and other structures, the
peat pyramid of Egypt still stands
In a class by Itself. It was erected
more than 5,'XX) years ago, and
nothing more mechanically perfect
has aver been built. In massiveneas
of construction It far exceeds any
thing that any other nation, ancient
or modern, has ever attempted. Its
original height was Just over 480
feet, and the length of each side
at th base was 764 feet. Its cu
bical contents exceeded 809,000,000
cubic feet, and the weight of Its
mass 6,840,000 tons. Its original
cubical contents would have built a
city of 22,000 houses, with walls a
foot thick, each possessing 20 feet
of frontage. Or If the contents of
this vast structure were laid down
In a line a foot in breadth and
depth, the line would be nearly 17,
000 miles In length. Herodotns tells
us that 100.000 men were engaged
In Its construction for a space of
20 years, and modern scholars do
not think this estimate an exagger
ated one.

Holbein Matter of Detail
Holbein, the portrait painter, at
tached to the court of King Henry
VIII. during a part of that mon
arch's matrimonial meteoric reign,
was a master of the art of detail
In portraiture. His portrait of Lady
Jane Seymour, who succeeded Anne
Boleyn as queen of England, Is one
of the most Important of historical
portraits, not only because of the
fine character of the work as a
whole, but because of the delicacy
with which the artist wrought the
brocade pattern In her dress and re
produced the exquisite delicacy of
the fragile lace on her sleeves.
at the tomb of him whom he also
loved.
And that same Founder of Chris
tianity has made it possible that th
man in the unlighted hovel as well as
the man who has been more fortun
ate in providing s respectable place
for himself and his wife to "lay their
heads," may live a triumphant life
in the face of hardship that has made
that same hovel radiant with love
and cheer. And that is the miracle
of the universe.
Building mausoleums for the care
of the sacred dust is not the thing
that is producing crowdless churches,
but the grouch of the man who has
not found "the Light of the world,"
as well as the Pbariseeical saint (?)
who "Garnishes the tombs of his
fathers."

The Hat Trick!
A funny Incident occurred at the
house of commons when I was
there the other day, says a writer
In London Tlt-Blts. A tin of liquid
eggs, the property ot Mr, Tom
Johnston, M. P., who had brought
It to the house to demonstrate his
arguments on the subject of the Im
port of certain foodstuffs, was acci
dentally upset In the cloakroom, the
contents trickling Into another
member's bowler hat.
The occurrence, which caused
much laughter, reminded me that
once Tree, the great actor, found a
certain author poaching an egg In
a silk hat over a spirit stove. Tree
said he thought It a great Joke
until he discovered that It was his
hat Then he Insisted that It was

Origin of Dollar
The name "dollar" originally
came from "thaler," a coin which
originated In Bohemia In 1519 and
was widely used In central Europe
for many years afterward. But the
coin Itself was taken from the
Spanish "pe?Q" which was the com
mon unit of exchange In the West
Indian trade In colonial days. It
was called the Spanish dollar. In
1792 the coinage act of the United
States gave legal recognition to
what was already an established In
stitution. Later the silver content
was slightly changed.

Vanity Cases
Used 3000 B. C.
Scientific excavations in the ancient city of Kish, so
we are told by a news dispatch, shows that women car
ried vanity cases forty-nine centuries ago. Why did not
the luxuries of that old civilization spread to the rest of
the world? Why were the delicate and pleasure-giving
things of life buried and hidden away for so many ages?
Without the printed word, information could hardly
be spread to other countries and the knowledge of events
and things could scarcely be preserved. Today, if a bet
ler rug is produced in Kurdistan, it is sono advertised for
sale in American newspapers. If a better necklace is
made in China, a printed advertisement will shortly de
scribe it and quote the price on the other side of the
globe. .
Advertising publishes the secrets of good things from
one end of America to the other. The newest and best
products of forty-eight states are told about, fully and
truthfully, wherever the public press is read.
Read the advertisements and you keep from being
buried like Kish.
