By L. A. Hunt The Oregon Co-operative Hay Growers have adopted a policy of selling only a certified product. This service is being appreciated by all dealers. Every dealer has been well pleased with the quality of hay re ceived and we are assured by our salesman. Mr. Shrock that the salo of hay will be very much simplified if we can continue to supply the cer tified product which we hajfe been, so far, sending. According to state law, every ton of hay which goes to Portland for delivery must be inspected by an agent of the public service commis sion and by a special arrangement with the commission the association in securing the inspeciton of this hay at loading points and every purchaser, no matter where located receives the benefit of this service. During the last three weeks the demand for hay has materially in creased in Willamette valley territory it Is estimated that it will not reach its maximun for another sixty days. That our hay is giving satisfaction in the east is attested to by the fact that we have had an offer from one firm to take as much as five thous and tons of northwestern hay. It Is not likely that we will take on the whole amount but will have th’s privilege, should we wish to do so. HERMISTON PEOPLE IN WRECK (Continued from Page One) ing services.

Alexander BIG FUTURE FOR PROJECT To the Editor of the Hermiston Herald:— The writer of this letter has been confined to his home for the last sev en weeks with a fractured limb, and while being confined, which has been much against my own desires as I have always led a very active life my mind has been going over the history of the development of the country surrounding the town of Hermiston, as the town Itself. Well do I remember the conditions (here before the United States gov ernment undertook the project of the storage of water for the irrigation of the lands. Desolate waste of sage brush and sand met your view on every hand,'and one sometimes wond ered if tile application of water coupled with earnest endeavor, would ever be able to reclaim that section, but other sections of country that were similarly situated and soils identical in character had been brought to a high state of cultivation and this Inspired the settlers In this district to take on the project. Dur ing all these years I have been a vis itor to Hermiston and its surround ing country, and I have watched the efforts of the people to Improve their ground, and to those who had the tenacity to stay with It and devote every ounce of their energy succoss has crowned their efforts, and today «here Is no better community or one more stably fixed than yours and I predict that in the next ten years you will see a greater advancement and a higher state of cultivation than you have even today. The community is not only to be congratulated upon the success that <t bas made from the agricultural itandpoint, but its citizenship is composed of the very highest class of people and one of which Umatilla county Is very proud. It has been my custom to visit Hermiston at least once a month where I met with business associate« and the curtailment of these visits by reason of my confinement has tak. en one of the bright spots out of my life, and, and I look forward to the time when I will be able to visit you «gain and I trust that It la In The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al.
