Good Crop Of Onions
Herman W. Greaber is likely te
blossom out as the onion king of South
Central Oregon, if the samples furnish
ed the Examiner are indications of bia
ability along that line. Tbev were
grown on his homestead some four
miles southwest of Lakeview and five
of tbem weigh onlv a few ounces less
than 10 pounds. From a balf pound of
seed Mr. Greaber raised 39 sacka of
fine ef-ina ar ha.1 fce not sown th
seed so. thick. tieV-e3itatingmtjch
thinn ng. the yield would have been
much greater.
The onions are of two varieties, red .
and white, and weie grown from, seed
planted this year. Thev were grown
on land that has been in cultivation
four years, onions bavinar been the
crop raised each vear. Mr. Greaber
states that each successive croo has
been better than the preceding, and
hence is exnecting some seal large
onions next year.
Further work on the artesian well on
the Leahmann place west of town has
been discontinued., and George Ede has
moved his outfit to the Hammersley
place here he will sink another well
After Btriking the first flow on the
Leahmann place it was decided to go
on down and at a deuth of 720 feet a
second flow was struck. But as in the
first instance the water, was so impreg
nated with quicksand that it would
settle in the pipe and all but prevent
water raising to the surface. The
sand packs in the pipe and when not
disturbed for a few hours becomes al
most like solid rock.
At the Hammersley place ai 3 8-4
inch casing will be used and it ia
hoped that the larger pipe will not
permit of the sand packing and that a
good flow will lie secured.

for 15.240.000 feet of saw timber as

This timber lies in Fandango Valley

be allowed for tbe removal of the
timber.
inittine will be done under the

necessary to leave a small part of the
