Reid, local farmer and good citizen. He has lived in Hermiston and on his farm for over 35 years. His first several years were spent in Hermiston as a banker, after which he applied his energies to farming—from which he is now retired. During these active years he has built up one of the best diversified farms in Eastern Ore gon. For years he mainlined a large herd of dairy cattle and 5000 laying hens. He made the business pay good dividends because of sound economy and careful management. Besides a success in the business of farming, he has served the public well—as member of the Farm Bureau, director of the Inland Cooperative, Umatilla Cooperative Creamery, the R. E. A. and other or ganizations for the benefit of farmers, to which his time and sound advice has been freely given. He has also been a consistent member of the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce and frequent attendant at its meetings. He thereby has kept in touch with the town as well as country affairs. There are few men in the community who have maintained as sound or well balanced view of the needs and the develop ments of this comparatively new region as has How ard Reid. The Herald believes that he is entitled to this praise since he has retired from the greater activities of his life, and though retired, is still active in public matters. He is a liberal bond buyer and Red Cross supporter—a warm friend to any movement that would contribute to the welfare of the community to which he has devoted so much of his energy for over a third of a century. The Farmer Needs Help This sort of weather, haying time and shortage of labor do not contribute to the peace of mind of the farmers of this locality. The prospects for the first crop of alfalfa are rather- gloomy and there is not much to add a silver lining. There is only one thing we can do and that is every man who can to give a helping hand wherever and whenever, hours or days, to help the farmer get this much needed forage into the stack. We will need the milk and butter and beef this winter that alfalfa will provide.
