Quickly the brief shortage began to show on lawns, gardens and in fields of pasture and alfalfa. The wonderful cooperation of all sources in the restoration of the life line of the Umatilla project prevented serious damages. But the way back to des ert conditions was clearly outlined. One full season without water would leave only trees as struggling emblems of a third of a century of man’s effort to re claim a waste that God forgot. The lesson is to think more and guard well our val uable storage reservoirs and many miles of canals. We should cherish these resources of our welfare and give more heed to the distribution of the life of our existence at our gates and contribute our best efforts toward better farming, leveling of land, more perfect use of the water and a broader spirit of grat itude to the thing that means everything to our ways of life. And speaking of water we must refer again to the great Columbia at our doors—the second river in the United States. Perhaps the Umatilla Ordnance De pot would have been located somewhere else had it not been for boats and barges at Umatilla and the prospects of the Umatilla Rapids dam for transpor tation, power and future developments almost im possible to forecast. This water will float to our homes the multitude of things our modern life re- quires. Water supplies us with electricity. Water will lift water to dry soils on the uplands. This water lift ed in sightless vapor from the broad Pacific and de posited as long as time shall last, on the mountain tops as reservoirs for our needs, becomes a challenge to our ingenuity and prophetic ability. The plans of Providence are all well laid and the pioneering is all done. What is, what has been done, and what may be done should be an inspiration to all observers. It is no vexatious problem with doubtful solution. It re- quires only duty and effort and good spirit to attain a goal that is large and splendid.

Legal Aid Every farming operation costs so much per acre and when you reduce that cost per acre, it means more profit for you. John Deere Tractors have been making more profit for their owners for many years, through their low-cost fuel burning ability, low up-keep costs and their all round dependability. Consider the accessibility, this alone means dollars to you especially when you are on a job where time means a profit or a loss to you. Many repair jobs on a John Deere mean only a few minutes lost, in comparison with similar jobs on any other make of tractor. For instance the clutch can be removed and relined in 15 minutes, piston rings can be in stalled in 2 hours, brakes removed and relined in one hour, power shaft installed in 30 minutes and many other repairs made in same short per iods of time. John Deere now has a smaller chopper and feed mill, built just the same as our 114 rough- age mill which has proved so popular. This new mill is known as the 110 roughage mill, just the mill for the smaller type tractors. We will en deavor to have one of these mills in operation at the fair. Be sure to stop and look it over.
