The letter states that he is enjoying good health. In it he says that him self and the rest of his comrades are becoming anxious to be sent "over there” so that they can get into real action and “clean up” on a few of the enemy. H. A. Pavne of Prineville, who vis- i'ed this community some time ago. re turned to Hermiston this week and purchased the Isaac Jay property, a so twenty acres of the Chas Skinner tract of alfalfa land. Consideration amount ed to about $11,500. In making a tour from Prineville to Walla Walla and through the Yakima valley Mr. Payne stated that the coun try here surpassed anything he had seen anywhere on his trip. The gentleman is a native of Virgin ia, a close friend of P. F. Ward and Ell Winesett, also Virginians, and he says that more people are coming from Sergt. John Lotzing, U. S. A., is here seen talking to the first German that state to )oc<te here. prisoner captured by himself In an American raid at the Chemin des Dames In France. ‘A* MADE A RECORD IN NEIGHBORHOOD STATE COLUMBIA NEWS NOTES BUTTER CREEK ITEMS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE The Northwest Dairyman and Hor ticulturist,a Seat tie publication, speaks highly of the ability of P. Jorgensen, who recently came here to take the place of Mr. Anderson in the local creamery when that gentleman re moved to Portland. Here is what it says: “P. Jorgensen, formerly butter mak er for the Skamakawa Creamery, has removed to Hermiston, Oregon, where he accepted the position of butter mak er for a similar organization. Mr. Jorgensen made a record in the state of Washington, having taken the first prize awarded tn the butter test at the 1917 State Fair at Yakima. He car ried away a strong recommendation from the directors and patrons of the Skamakawa Farmers and Creamery Association." NO. 37 AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL IS HOLDING MEETING The Umatilla county agricultural council is holding its initial meeting today in the county agent’s office “in Pendleton. Thisorganization will lake up all agricultural problems that need solving in the county and will put on a county wide program for better agri culture. The cour ty agent’s activi ties will be guided more or less by this organization. The representativs from this com munity are J. F. McNaught and Geo Or ssy, and from Columbia district Henry Sommerer, H. J. Stillings and It is a common practice in established peach growing districts to de elop new tops on the trees periodically. This is done by removing practically ail the top on years when light, or no crop occurs. This practice is called “dehorning” and consists of removing all the large branches a short distai ce above the main forks of the tree. This leaves the stubs of branches from 1 to 4 feet long from which new growth springs, and rapidly develops Into a new and vigorous top. These' tops frequently bear much fruit the second year, says R. W Allen. If this is not done the new growth of the trees become small and weak. The fruiting wood is all at the top of the trees where II is hard to spray. The fruit Is difficult to gather, and is much smaller thau it should be to sell to advantage. In removing the tops of peach trees care should be taken to cut just above a small vigorous branch whenever it Is possible; otherwise the cut should be made at such a point as will tend to make the ne v top of desirable pro portions. The cutt ing should be done with a sharp saw directed as nearly at right angles to the direction of the branch as possible. Soon after the cutting lakes place numerous small shoots will spring from the bark, and by the close of the growing season the tree will again as- same the appearance of a vigorous young plant, and will soon be produc ing large frullai a reasonable distance above ground. To develop new tope on peach and apricot tre es periodically remove much of the old and rather in active wood which they contain and this will render them productive of better fruit, and for a much longer period than where this is not practiced.
