BAUMAN, Sheriff of Morrow County, Oregon. 36-39 W. C. T. U. NOTES MART A NOTSON. Reporter. Now, the election being over, the "beer parade" is receiving addition al attention. The old misrepresen tations are being repeated. It is well to keep the record straight. The wets during the campaign and since have been making a lot of noise about the absurdity on the part of "Uncle Andrew Volstead in writing into the prohibition law the limit of "one-half of one per cent" of alcohol. Let us call attention once more to the fact that the "one- half of one per cent" alcoholic limit was written into the old revenue laws years and years ago at the be hest of the brewers. So, the one half of one per cent limit has been recognized for more than two gen erations by the federal government. Uncle Andrew Volstead simply cop ied the old definition of intoxicat ing liquor written into the law by the old beer crowd. Some of our wet friends are again trying to encourage the wheat far mers to sow barley in order to re duce the surplus of wheat Just bear in mind that the figures gath ered by the Senate Committee which investigated the matter show that the consumption of milk in creased from 1918 to 1926 from 42 gallons per capita to almost 60 gal lons per capita, over 42.7 per cent And to produce this increase re quired 8,748,000 pounds of grain and 22,113,000 pounds of roughage. While on the testimony of a dele gation led by Gustav Pabst one of the great brewers, in May, 1917, the actual amount of grain used in brewing, principally barley, rep resents less than three-quarters of one per cent of all the grain pro duced in the United States." Hence they argued that the Gronna bill to prohibit the use of food materials in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors should not apply to the brewing business. So, their propa ganda now is simply a false hope held out to the farmer. The money which will be spent for beer in case it is restored will not be spent for milk, meats, butter, and other farm products. Again, the beer tax, which is va riously estimated all the way from $200,000,000 to $1,000,000,000, will be paid mostly by the poor man. In the "good old days" the greater part of the beer was consumed by the poorer classes. Is it fair to saddle the taxes upon the poor and those of modest means in order to re lieve the rich? If we must have beer, it should be cheap, so as to take from the families of the poor as little as possible. Moreover, when you tax beer, you are putting a club into the hands of the brew ers with which they will club ev ery form of government from the national government down to the town and village. The people who talk about the corruption which has grown up under prohibition are either too young to remember the corruption fostered by the brewers and the brewer-owned saloons or else they have poor memories. No, some of them do not have poor memories. They are just plain de ceivers. The brewer-owned saloon housed the most corrupt political manipulators who ever "pulled the political wires' 'in this country. C. G. Norris, supervising engin eer on Hepner-Spray road, passed through Heppner on Tuesday en route to his home at Milwaukee to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his family. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harding and son Jack are spending Thanksgiv ing at Yakima with Mr. Harding's mother. Produce Market At Mrs. Mary Bartholomew's place.

Go On Sowing "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good." Ecc. 11-6. This good advice from the "Preacher" has been followed again and again, materially, in the face of adversity, in the face of failure after failure, of material crops; in the face of short crops and no crops, this advice has been follow ed. We come now to a time when It most vitally needs to be followed along other lines also. This Is a time, NOW, for all real Christian men and women to read this advice out of God's Word and heed it! Let no discouraging or disconcerting thing prevail NOW. As was said long ago in a trying hour of this country's history, "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." And surely Christian men and women are called upon in such a time as this to "GO ON SOWING" the seeds of Christian love and forbear ance and courage and faith, in the morning of discouragement, and in the evening of discouragement WHY? So that soon again a day shall come when the seed sown shall bring forth fruit to the glory of God, and the days of discourage ment shall change to days of Chris tian victory. Faber has said this: "When men do anything for God even the very least thing they never know where it will end, nor what amount of work it will do for Him." So, go on with your sowing. Only be sure that the seeds you sow are good seeds the seeds of Christian life and character for you can never tell where they will fall. Look back down the road of life you have travelled: Which would you rather see among the mile posts of your journey, those whom your influence had turned to loose and careless and sinful living, or those whom your Christian life and courage and faithfulness had turn ed from the ways of eternal death to the ways of ETERNAL LIFE? Have you sold your Christian birth right for a mess of financial pot tage, or social or political pottage? God help us to sow good seed, and to GO ON WITH OUR SOWING! If you have not a Church home, come and worship with us. We in vite you. Test the welcome of this warm, friendly Church. For the coming Lord's Day the sermon sub jects are: For the morning service, "Heavenly Citizenship;" and for the evening service, "Investments." METHODIST CHURCH. GLEN P. WHITE. Pastor. Mrs. C. R.

Of course that depends on the kind of wood used and how it is treated or untreated. Oregon farmers or others inter ested in fence building will in the future have a more accurate guide to post selection and treatment as the result of the information now being gathered on a "post farm" which has been conducted near Cor vallis by the school of forestry at Oregon State college in cooperation with a number of commercial con cerns. This is a post "fanm" not because it produces posts, but because on it are set more than 1000 posts of 30 different woods and treatments where their durability and resist ance to decay are being tested out under actual soil conditions. The experiment was started In 1928 and already some of the posts have failed under the tests employ ed periodically. These tests con sist of applying a pull of 50 pounds two feet above the surface of the soil. The experiment is being car ried on almost without expense to the state as much of the work of placing and testing the posts is done by students in forestry, while commercial concerns are furnishing most of the materials. Though the tests will continue to afford information for decades to come, already the plot has again Trade and Employment EXCHANGE (Printed without charge. Dis continued on notice.)

Progress Reported in Foot Rot Control The progress report on the con trol of foot rot of wheat in the Co lumbia basin has just been issued by the experiment station at Ore gon State college. The report is based on the work of Roderick Sprague, state pathologist stationed at the experiment station for tne last few years studying this disease which has proved serious periodic ally in Eastern Oregon, Washing ton and parts of Idaho. Mr. Sprague found that eight fac tors are more or less important in the control of this disease. First he mentions crop rotation. Of course this is impossible in much of the Columbia basin wheat belt be cause of moisture limitation but fortunatetly some of the worst foot rot areas are In regions having more than the usual amount of rain fall. In that territory a late fall seeding is a second means of reduc ing loss from this trouble but Mr. Sprague advises using this method with caution as other factors are involved. Seed resistant varieties constitute a third factor that has received con siderable attention but nothing very definite can be said on that sub ject yet although different wheats appear to vary considerably in their resistance. He hopes in a few years to be able to make more definite recommendations on this point. Time of plowing is the fourth element considered, as soil plowed so early in the spring as to run to gether or puddle has been found to harbor foot rot fungus to a great extent Burning stubble apparent ly has little effect one way or the other on the foot rot, although where straw is piled to a depth of a foot or more It will kill the fun gus to a considerable depth. This may have some practical value in eliminating small new infestations. A free circulation of air through the surface of the soil in the spring has a tendency to check the action of the fungus by drying out the soil StarTheater "LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES" FRIDAY and SATURDAY,' NOV. 25 and 26: Serial Pathe News Cartoon Marion Davies and Robert Montgomery in "BL0NDIE OF THE TOLLIES" With Billie Dove, Jimmie Durante, Zasu Pitts and Jimmie Gleason.

Poor stands of al falfa can usually be traced back to gopher Injury. The burrows of the pocket gophers honeycomb many alfalfa fields and the roots of the plants cut off. The burrows also often cause breaks im the irrigation ditches. Each individual pocket gopher leads a solitary life except during the breeding season when seeking a mate. Four or six young are us ually born to a litter, and some of the Oregon species breed twice a year. When the young are about half grown they leave home and start a burrow of their own. One animal may spend it's entire life vithin one or two hundred yards of It's birthplace, or may travel as much as a mile. The loose mounds of earth thrown up mark the course of the tunnels. The entrances are kept plugged except when the occupant is actually working. This habit was developed as a means of pro tection against such natural ene mies as snakes and weasels that can travel in such underground bur rows. If an opening is made in the burrow the gopher soon returns to this point and plugs it again. In trapping advantage is taken of this habit. Thoroughly mix one ounce of strychnine (alkaloid and 1-8 ounce saccharine together, dust over 15 quarts of sweet potatoes, carrots or parsnips. These bait materials should be peeled and cut into small cubes and thoroughly dusted with the above mixture. In Irrigated sections baits can be readily placed by use of a gopher probe which can be made by almost any one. The essential thing is to have a sharp Implement penetrate to the gopher runways. By probing around the fresh mounds the runways can soon be located and baits then dropped thru the opening In the runway and the probe hole closed by use of clods or grass covered by earth. Addition al information and demonstrations may be secured by applying at the office of C. W. Smith, county agent Chas. Allinger was In the city Friday from his home at lone.
