harvesting a crop failure. Dry
weather all .spring with no rain
until too late to do crops any good
is the reason. Most crops are so
short that they are almost im
possible to cut. Many farmers
in North Dakota are mowing
their crops with side delivery at
tachment to sickle bar and will
pick up what they can out of the
swath. This state that has ranked
first in production in hard red
spring wheat, second in produc
tion of barley and first in produc
tion of flax in the U. S. for years
will slip back a notch this year.
However, late rains will make

a good flax crop in most areas as
this was late enough to escape
the dry spell. Corn fields are
spotted with some corn just com

in tassel.

liked to see the rain I was in
when one and one half inches fell
in twenty minutes. Many rains
were reported of Ihree to six
inches corning within a few hours
time. You would not have liked
to see the forty by twenty mile
strip of hail which cleaned out ail
crops in a county in which I once
worked. Several tornadoes wenf
through the area cleaning out
many farm buildings.
North Dakota is booming with
oil prospecting and it was quite a
thrill to see wells being dug in
the county which I left to come
to Oregon. I still believe Morrow
County farmers can be thankful
that they live where they do.

Plentiful cabbage prompt me to
remind you of the myriad ways to
vary the ever popular cole slaw.
Start with grated cabbage, then
add crushed pineapple, grated car
rot and real mayonnaise. Or chop
ped onion, green pepper and mus-tard-with-horseradish
and may
onnaise. Or diced apple, celery
and mayonnaise.
To '52 brides: a turklsh towel
placed in the bottom of the slnlc
is good Insurance against chipping
or breaking your "best" china. A
rubber nozzle on the faucet also
prevents a good many accidents.
Prepare tender young beets this
quick and delicious way. In the
bottom of a saucepan place 1 table
spoon vitaminized margarine per
serving, top with peeled, diced, raw
beets, a sprinkling of salt, pinch
of sugar; then tuck wet outer
leaves of lettuce or cabbage over
beets. Cover and cook gently tor
15 or 20 minutes. Beautiful color
and marvelous flavor!
If It's time to freshen up your
treasured feather pillows, remem
ber to air them thoroughly but not
to sun them. Sun causes the feath
ers' natural oils to dry out and
destroys their resiliency.
As a labor-saver make enough
pastry dough for two pies. The sec

casses was done in order to be
better qualified for grading live
stock of all kinds. Cattle, sheep
and hops were graded on the hoof
Tuesday following them through
to the locker Wednesday, where
carcasses were graded, comparing
live and carcass grades.
As the heat of the summer
brings more flies to pester live
stock, it would be well to consider
this, taking off a few hours to get
them in to spray. While everyone
is so busy at this time of the
year, this job Is oft times neglect
ed. Do vou recall the drop In
milk from the old milk cow as
I lie flies began bothering her?
Range cows take the same slump
in milk as well as losing flesh
from fichtinc flies. The slump
in milk right now is bad for the
calves they are sucking. With
many of the ranges pretty well
dried up cows need to spend
much of their time grazing rather
than fighting flies if they are to
turn off a big calf this fall and go
into the winter in good shape.
Aspray of 12 pounds 50 DDT
per 100 gallons of water using IVi
gallons per cow will do the job

Across
The Counter
By Frank & Van
Do you understand the
common limits of liability
and property damage cover
age in an auto policy? Yes,
we are referring to the fa
miliar "5,105". A recent
survey showed that most car
owners don't. You may
count yourself lucky if you
do.
These limits simply mean
that no more than $500 will
he paid to any one TERSON
as a result of an accident in
which you are held liable
nor more than $10,0000 for
ALL bodily injury claims
from that accident. And the
most that your Insurance
company would he obligat
ed to pay for damage to pro
perty as a result of an ac
cident is $5(XH1.
Take an actual example.
Suppose two people were in
jured as a result of an ac
cident and you were held
liable. One was awarded
S!H)O0 and the other $1000.
While the total of $10,000 is
within vour limits, the ex
cess above $5000 or $1000
would still have to be paid
by you in case of the person
awarded S'.HXK) since it ex
ceeds the maximum for any
person.
Doesn't this illustrate how
IMPORTANT it is to have
adequate coverage? Just a
few dollars a year could buy
much higher limits.
May we check your policy,
and show you exactly how
little cost is involved?
