PAGE EIGHT 9 Unlimited Agricultural Wealth Here Say» County Agent Nelson Iowa Association i FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1980. THE VERNONIA EAGLE STATE CHAMBER IS OPTIMISTIC Lindsay Head of When a Feller Needs a Friend (Continued from Page 1 ) An Iowa association was form ed Sunday at a luncheon at the Evangelical church, with Robert Lindsay president, Franklin Malm sten, vice-president, and W. W. Wolff secretary. Speakers at the luncheon wera George W. Ford, H. M. Condit, Franklin Malmsten, E. J. Doug lass and Robert Lindsay. Rev. G. W. Plumer was toastmaster. Approximately 50 were present. The luncheon followed church service, at which the pastor, Rev. G. W. Plumer, spoke on “Mem ories.” Mr. .Plumer lived in that state for many years, and re counted numerous incidents of the extremes of heat and cold, the havoc of tornadoes on the one hand, and the sterling char acter of the people on the other. At this service an accoustican, installed for a five weeks trial, was put into use for the first time, and a number availed themselves of it. There are six head phones. One lady reported that she had not been able to hear a sermon or prayer for 25 years, and she caught every word of the pastor’s in this service. Two Men Loved the Same Girl By DUFORD JENNE ESTER SHEPARD shoved the last papers on his desk Into a drawer and leaned back In the si lence of Ids private office to dream a bit—a dream in which Margery Stanton's girlish presence lingered like the aroma of a rose. Her fa ther’s office was In the same cor ridor, and whenever she came to see him, she dropped into his own office for a brief visit that put sun shine into the grind of his business day. “It hardly seems possible she can care for me,” he warned himself. “A man of forty with the gray springing at his temples should not appeal to her.” Yet he recalled the pleasant hours with her In her fa ther’s suburban home. '"That might mean nothing, for Stanton and I are old friends, and It’s her way to be nice to his friends, and yet—yet there’s some thing about her attitude—” He heard his young partner, Baker, close his office and depart, but still Shepard lingered. The first hint of something wrong came when he called her next day by telephone, asking If he might run out to see her in the evening. He caught the note of hes itation tn her clear, sweet voice; then he heard It grow slightly cold as she phrased a courteous re fusal. The gny comradeship of her voice had vanished. What could It mean? Had she guessed the love for her that had been growing in his heart? Then Mr. Stanton came In, his lined, aristocratic face troubled. “Lester, after you spoke to me about Margery, I was In hopes you two might learn to care for each ether. But, I guess, after all, it was—it was Baker she was Inter ested In.” The words struck Shepa. 4 like a physical blow. He knew at i'ie time she came Into the office site al ways stopped for a chat with his young partner, but he had thought she did It just to make her prefer ence not too conspicuous. Shepard braced himself. Then he said qqk’tly: “It's all right, old friend. I do love her, and I had been dreaming of a home with her. But I see I was a fooL It’s been ■uch a fight to build up my busi ness, I have seen little of women; and I misconstrued her coming nnd her kindness. I am glad for Niles. I must go in and congratulate him,” Shepard said quietly. When Shepard stepped quietly Into his young partner’s office. Baker started and listened with averted eyes to the older man's earnest words of congratulation. “Thanks, Shep—It hasn’t been definitely settled, but It's about right. Margery is going South for a visit, nnd then—then we'll be mar ried. And, by the way, I think I’ll start out fnr myself If von don’t T last few years. Many other far mers are also growing this crop. Wheat, oats and barley are grown successfully and used for dairy stock. Yields of oats have run as high 110 bushels and bar ley 100, states Sidney Malmsten, I who has operated a threshing mochine in the valley and has checked up on the yields. These crops are also grown successfully on the hill as well as bottom lands, states Mr. Malmsten. Excellent pasturage can also ge grown in the Nehalem valley for dairy cattle. These crops as well as many others could easily be increased in their production by irrigation from the Nehalem river where there is an abundance of water for this purpose. This would greatly increase the quali ty of the pasture and carrying capacity during the dry summer months. This is an advantage that the Nehalem valley has over many other districts. Root crops which are excellent for dairy cattle are grown quite successfully by Chas. Bergerson and many other dairymen in the valley. Sheep raising has also become an important industry. There are thousands of acres of cut-over land that is suitable for this class of stock, as well as cattle and goats. The poultry industry is also increasing in the valley and con- ORGANIZATION OF ditions here are well adapted to LADIES’ AID TO this industry. 4H CLUBS HOPED HOLD BAZAAR The Nehalem valley with its rich valley lands, its hill lands of Organization of 4H clubs in The Ladies’ Aid of the Chris excellent quality which produce this community is being promoted good cdops, has wonderful op- tian church will hold a “Mother NATAL—Special.)—A crew of by County Agent George A.
