ALFALFA, NOT APPLES
In the Issue of September 10, of the Portland Oregonian, we notice
an article headed, "Good Hay Crop Secured—First Cutting of Alfalfa
Heavier Than Usual—Small Damage Done by Summer Rains.” Down to­
wards the bottom of the article we read Umatilla county’s report: "Uma-
till*—Fifty per cent apple crop in Milton-Freewater district, where most
of apples are grown. Failure, to 25 per cent crop, at Hermiston, making
average for county about 4 5 per cent normal.”
We respectfully call the Oregonian's attention to the head lines in
their article. "Good Hay Crop Secured—First Cutting of Alfalfa Heavier
Thun Usual.” They speak the truth about Hermiston and the Umatilla
project. Apples are a secondary consideration here. Alfalfa is the great
product of the west end of Umatilla county.
LET ’EM OBJECT
You have noticed, no doubt, that some well intentloned people are al­
ways objecting.
No matter what kind of a suggestion is made or proposition Is
advanced, they object. Not always to the suggestion in its entirety, but
more frequently to some of its salient features.
A few will tell you that they are a nuisance, always throwing cold
water upon every project.
But are they?
When a proposition is put before the people of this town it should be
subjected to every reasonable test before it is adopted. Every weak point
should be detected and eliminated or its weakness corrected.
If left to the Judgment of optimists entirely it is in danger of being
rushed through without proper consideration.
If the objector is on hand there will be no such haste.
Some of his objections may be wearisome, but others will be valuable.
It is human nature for him to ferret out something to which he can
object, and the more he objects the more certain we are to avoid the danger
spots.
Let him object. It pleases him and is good for the community.

HE unusual regard in which
the average family holds
its home is, of course, the re­
flection of unusual qualities in
the home itself.
One owner might tell you
his home is comfortable An
other that it is beautiful

But if they all were to sum
up the reasons why they value
their home so highly they would
probably say that the home

When you feel that it is unwise to tell even a part of the truth, you
might compromise by telling the whole of it.
Brains are of little value, unless a fellow has common sense enough
to apply them.

If you think you dare not, you don’t,
if you'd like to win but you think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

For out of the world we find •
Success begins with a fellow's will,

To the stronger or faster man;
