R. N. Stanfield Returns
from Omaha and Chicago
THINKS PRICES WILL DnCP
Morrow County Farmers are
Urged to Save Grain Sam
ples and other Procucts for
Lewis and Clark Fair.
R. N. Stanfield has returned from
Omaha and Chicago where he bad been
with a shipment of cattle, says the Pen
dleton Tribune, Mr. Stanfield says that
there are no Indications of an advance
in tbe stock market and that the bay
ers in Omaha and Chicago except cheap
btf this summer. "The prices," be
said, "were not good and it doesn't look
as if they were going to improve. As
(ar as I can determine the outlook is not
very encouraging, and we are going to
put onr cattle on the market as soon as
possible in order to take advantage of
the present prices rather than meet a
decline which is expected at any time.
As to the effect of the packers' strike
on tbe stock market I can't say, as I
left Chicago before tbe strike had been
called."
Mr. Stanfield went to Omaha with a
shipment of fourteen cars of beef cattle
which were loaded at Echo. These
cattle brought good prices on the mar
ket, but nothing extra. Mr. Stanfield
did not say just what the price was, but
said the range was from $2 65 to $6.00,
They will start another trainload of cat
tle (or tbe Omaha market within a few
weeks. These cattle were some of them
held up by the state inspector and kept
out of the recent shipment. They have
now been dipped and will be passed all
right.

Morrow County Exhibit.
To the Editor: We are making an
effert to secure for Morrow County a
creditable exhibit to go to the Lewis
and Clark exhibition at Portland next
year. Considerations of pride as well
eg our material interests require us to
make the best display our county can
afford. To this end we are asking our
people to furnish us anything of excep
tional excellence produced in the
county. We want a large collection of
our best grains, in the straw and in the
berry ; of our best grasses, fruits, in fact
anything of exceptional quality pro
duced within our limits. We want the
people of every district in the county to
give us samples of their best products.
We will gladly furnish Jars and preserv
stives for all products which require
this mode of preservation. Every earn
pie will be labeled so .that each locality
will get proper credit for what it (urn
iBhes.
We have safe and ample storage room
for all products in the bssement of the
Courthouse at Hepnner, where they will
eventually be brought to await shipment,
To facilitate the gathering of material
however, we have established local
depoitories through the County. Leave
your samples with Nichols A Leach of
Lexington, J. A. Woolery or C. T. Wal
keroflone, A. C.. Morgan of Douglas,
F. B. Holbrook of Irrigon, II. E. War
ren or Geo. Bleakman of Hardman, or
at The First National Bank in Heppner
Let us all take an interest in this
matter and get together a display which
will he a credit to Morrow County.
Very truly yours,
Gko. Conskr,
Commissioner.
The sale of livestock and wool
has already put into circulation in
Morrow county more thau a half
million' dollars this year, and
probably stock to the value of more
than $100,000 will yet be sold be
fore the close of the year. To this
add $000,000 for wheat that will
be shipped out during the season,
which makes a grand total of $1,-
200,000 for the twi industries,
agriculture and livestock. If
divided among the 5000 people of
tne county pro rata, it would give
every man, woman and child $250.
In agriculture Morrow county
needs twice or, three times as many
people to obtain the greatest re
sults. We ha? too much land
for the few farmers to get the best
results. The trouble is that every
farmer trie to farm too much
land and cannot possibly do it
well. Where one man may farm
500 or 700 acres to wheat and get
10 to 15 bushels per acre as at
present, five men could farm the
same number of acres properly and
make a yield of 25 to 40 bushels
per acre. While the soil requires
less labor to produce a crop here
than any other place we know of,
it is not reasonable to suppose
that any one man can farm from
500 to 700 acres and obtain the
best results. There are many
fields of grain in our county today
that the yield is estimated at from
25 to 35 bushels per acre, while
there are others that are estimated
I at vz, id, 18 ana zu dub he is per
acre. It is true there may be some
difference in the character of tbe
soil in the different localities, but
it is apparent everywhere that the
better cultivation brings the larger
yield.
Grain Yield Heavier than
Was Expected.
Morrow County, with a popul
ation of less than 5000, has com
menced harvesting a 1,200,000-
bushel crop of wheat. This wheat
at present market prices is worth
on the farm more than $600,000,
and will, accordingly, add a matter
of $120 per capita to the wealth of
the entire population of the county.
When to this Bum is added the
large amount received from the
wool and livestock turned off this
year, the showing will be so highly
nattering that the population of
the county ought to increase with
a rush. The aggregate wheat yield
of Morrow county is. small in com
parison with that of some of tne
larger counties of Oregon and
Washington, but it is doubtfu
whether any other county in the
Pacific Northwest can show such
large returns per capita from the
wheat industry. Oregonian.

U. 8. Department of Agriculture, cli
matic and crop bulletin of the weather
bureau, Oregon section, for the week
ending Monday, July 17.
Nearly a half of an inch of rain fell in
the Willamett valley during tbe latter
part of the wee, and greater amounts
are reported in the coast counties.
Frequent rains also occurred in " the
eastern section of the state. Tbe rains
west of tbe Cascades have done an im
mense amount of good. They will help
all growing crops, especially potatoes,
corn, oats and late spring wheat. Hops
also will be benefited, as well as gardens
and pasturage. The grain harvest has
been interrupted by the wet weather,
and in the coaBt counties and plateau
section some cut hay will be more or
less damaged, but these losses are in
significant compared with tbe great
good the rains have done, A sharp
frost occurred Wednesdsy morning in
portions of tbe Willamette valley and in
some of the coast counties, but the
damage was confined to tender vegeta
tion and it was not seriouB, notwith
standing the lateness of the season.
Fall wheat is filling nicely, the heads
being large and tbe berry plump. Al
though very little wheat has yet been
threshed, correspondents generally re
port the yield to be better than expect
ed. In Sherman county some complaint
o( smut Is made, but generally the
quality of the wheat is reported above
the aveiage. Hops are do.nz nicely,
but it is not expected that the yield will
be quite so heavy as last year, on ac
count of the long spell of dry weather.
Slock continues in. excellent condi
tion, but pasturage is getting short, as
is nsual at this season of the vear. and
the milk supply in the dairy herds has
decreased slightly during the week.
Peaches are ripe and plentiful, bat
pples have dropped badly during tbe
week, although the prospects stilt con
tinue favorable for a good crop of apples

R. J. Hill Dead,
Deputy Sheriff W. 0. Hill was called
to Walla Walla Friday morning to at
tend the funeral of his father, R. J.
Hill, who died very suddenly the day
before of heart failure. Mr. Hill was
taken ill tea days before his death, but
was apparently improving up to withia

For, many years Mr. Hill was a resi-
Some people are,-going out of
the cattle business now because
they think there is more money in
other lines. This is a grave mis
take, as there is no other line
business but what will have its
ups and downs, and the period
depression in the live stock bus
e
tness are less in number ana
shorter in duration than in most
any other business. We have
pointed out many times that there
is no over-production in the live
stock business, but certain con
ditions have had a tendency to
lower the price of beef that cannot
exist any lingth of time. The
country is needing more beef each
year and somebody must supply
it. The time to stay with a bus

Grain Samples Wanted.
Farmers, now is the time to save your
best samples of grain. It will be too
late a week or two from now when all
the grain is harvested. The committee
of the Morrow County Lewis and Clark
Fair Club requests every farmer of the
county who baa a good sample of
wheat, rye or barley to pull it np by the
roots and lay it aside until such time as
is convenient to bring it to town. Each
bundle should be at least eight inches
in d:ameter, and should be wrapped
sufficiently to prevent shattering. Tbe
bundles will each be labeled w ith the
name and addrets of the grower and the
locality in the county from which it
came. It is only a matter of a few mo
ments time for each farmer to gather a
nice sample of his grain and lay it aside
until such time as suits his conveni
ence to bring it to town. But the ex
hibit must be gathered now while the
grain is in proper condition to handle
for exhibition purposes.

thereby increase the value of our prop
erty. To get the desired increased in
population we most show them what we
can produce. We can make an exhibit
at the 11)05 fair that will be a credit to
our county; one that will doubtless In
t rest the hotnesKeker as well as the
capitalist. Tne former can find no
where that he can make as comfortable
a home at as small a cost as here where
land values are so low, and the latter
can find nowhere better opportunities
than are here off ered for the profitable
investment of his surplus cash.
The question now is will we take ad
vantage of the opportunity the Lewis
and Clark fair oflors us to advertise tbe
resources of our county, and thus secure
the necessary capital and labor to build
up the county and more fully develop
our varied resources, and make ns a
more prosperous and contented people,
