Brewer, of The Dallgg, who has been assigned as agricultural director of Wasco, Sherman, Hood River, Mor row and Gilliam counties.has called for a mass meeting of local ranchers on Saturday, April 12, when an agricul tural defense council will be named. While Mr. Brewer states that but comparatively little can be done in his district in the way of stimulating additional crops, because of the late ness of the season, the labor situation demands attention. Plans are being made outlined to ameliorate the labor problem. Methed for Planting Beans It has been demonstrated for several years that good bean crops can be raised in Hood Kiver. borne points in general gathered from the experience of local bean raisers may be useful, but the farmer anticipating v raising beans can inquire and find out some one who has raised them and greatly add to his information before seeding them. The crop will require good hard work, but the price indication is that it will nay. - The land lor seeding should De thor oughly put in shape both for best con dition of soil, eliminating weeds and for moisture before seeding time. Just before seeding land should be floated so that it is level and smooth and then marked much in the same manner as a strawberry field. It is best to plant in rows so that the held can be worked with a horse cultivator. Light and frequent cultivation is best Keep weeds out while growing. II crop needs water irrigate, but it moisture can be kept up with cultiva tion it is all the better. Do not culti vate when vines are moist. Seeding time is from about the mid dle of May to the middle of June. Some have planted in seasons past as early as May 10 and as late as June 20. Sow three or four seeds in hills from six to eight inches in a row. At harvest time pull the vines and lay in winrows. Vines can be handled with fork and should be collected at some place on the ranch on a canvas or platform where they can be turned and dried in the sun. Don't let moisture get on them at this period. After they are dried they can be threshed. Logging Machinery Salesman Plays Joke The advertising scheme of a Seattle loraine machinery salesman may prove a roorback. Postcards on which ap peared the imprint of a red hand and the words "We mean business and will give you three days" were mailed to all Pacific Northwest lumber compan ies. The cards were taken as a threat of some kind and numerous lumber concerns increased the guards at their plants. The joke was out Monday morning when postcards bearing the imprint of a large blue hand were re ceived by the lumbermen. The second batch of cards signed by the logging machinery salesman bore the following message : - "On account of the publicity ol the press and condition of the times, and the conception of the idea I have de cided to allay any possible misunder standing and free the public mind, so three days have been cut to one." The postcards were received by the Oregon Lumber Co. at Dee. Because of the critical problems of the country officials of the lumber company are prone to criticise the logging machin ery salesman for his advertising meth od and it is declared that he may hear from some of the lumbermen if he can be reached by the courts. Cherry Outlook Good With 'weather conditions ideal for the first time in three years, the cher ry trees of the valley are bursting into lull blossom. "The bloom is as fine as I have ever seen" says J. R. Nunamaker known as the Hood Kiver valley cherry king. "With a week of dry, warm weather, to advance pollenization, we may ex pect a bumper cherry crop." Pmnings Mast be Burned, Angus County Fruit Inspector Angus has issued instructions to all fruit growers of the valley that prunnings must be burned within 30 days after removal from trees. Mr. Angus states that a law requires that the prunnings be de stroyed, but that the rules have not been enforced in a number of years. "Unless the law is observed steps will be taken by county authorities to enforce it, says Mr. Angus. Tweedy Gets Pension Inerease T. D. Tweedy, a Civil war veteran last week received word from Wash ington that by special act of congress introduced by Kepresentative sinnott, of The Dalles, he had received an in crease to $40 per month of his pension.
