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.

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
