TO J. H. REID
Here is a little toast to J. H. 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.
