. OUR THANKS TO VALE-OWYHEE WORKERS
Do we fully appreciate the work the Vale-Owyhee
land settlement association is doing for all of Malheur
county?
We are again reminded of the faithful activity of di-
rectors of the association, representing the communities
of Harper, Nyssa, Ontario and Vale by commendable
activities planned at the recent July session held in Vale.
To show the west what truly wonderful crops can be pro­
duced on the Harper and Little Valley units—on lands
that were covered with sagebrush last March—the asso­
ciation will gather the best of exhibits for the Malheur
county, Oregon state and Pacific Livestock agricultural
shows. H. C. Boyer and R. G. Larson were appointed to
take charge of arrangements.
Another worthwhile project is the invitation to the
state board of horticulture to make a first hand inves­
tigation of the west bench of Bully creek to determine
its adaptability for fruit production.
C. C. Hunt of Nyssa is to head the group.
It is due to the untiring efforts of such men as J. D.
h airman of Harper, first leader of the association, anc
the delegates of the other communities that settlers were
placed on the Harper lands in advance of water. The Bully
creek unit, nearer Vale, is being settled in the same com­
mendable manner.
The association is composed of a great group of
workers. They are giving their time and money for the
advancement of Malheur county.
The best way of showing our appreciation is to help
in our small way. When we hear of someone interested in
settling on our splendid irrigation projects we must send
them a Vale-Owyhee booklet. It tells of-water cost, crops,
land cost, all the information in which homeseekers are
interested. These booklets can be secured from H. G.
Kennard, secretary of the association, or from any of the
garages.
The Vale-Owyhee group depends on the garages and
service stations to a large extent in getting these adver­
tising booklets into the hands of tourists and home-
seekers. They have requested garage employees to hand
each tourist a copy. It takes a moment’s time but the ef­
fort is certain to result in rich returns.
FARMER’S INVESTMENTS
Like any other business man, the good farmer cod-
ducts his operations with a view to realizing a profit from
his investments, whether in land, implements, an­
imals, or what not.
This is brought to mind by a recent agricultural bul­
letin which relates the experiences of certain southern
cotton farmers, covering 1,007 tests of fertilized crops
grown alongside of those not fertilized.
These tests were scientifically conducted and accu­
rate records of results were kept. It was found that the
application of an average of 180 pounds of Chilean nitrate
per acre increased the yield of cotton to an extent that
adds $23 per acre in net profits. Figure another way, for
every dollar expended for this quick acting fertilizer an
increase crop value of $5.70 was obtained.
The same principle applies to many other phases of
farm management. In the long run there is increase pro­
fit in the 'use of labor-saving machinery, in raising
of pure-bred livestock and poultry, in expenditures for
preservation of buildings and equipment; in every means
whereby any expenditure can be made to yield profitable
returns.
Intelligently invested, “money makes money” in
agricultural as well as in industry.
WAR ON BUTTER SUBSTITUTES
Two thousand pounds of butter substitute are being
sold every month, 60 per cent is being used by the farmers
themselves. J. W. Rhodehouse has presented a petition to
the farmers and local merchants. 75 per cent of the far­
mers and every store in Fremont county has signed as
well as all the local merchants. Madison county will dis­
continue the use of substitutes this month.
Economists say that every pound of butter sold at
home means greater prosperity to the farmers and mer­
chants. Butter substitutes are made in the e a s t and
foreign towns are receiving all profit made by the buying
and selling of substitutes in this locality.
The Kiwanis and Commercial clubs are sponsoring this
attempt to gain an agreement between merchants and
farmers against the buying and selling of butter substi­
tutes. A movement is on to discontinue the sale of substi­
tutes entirely in Idaho, and it is meeting with approval all
over the state.
Men put off things they ought to do; women put
off things they ought to wear.
Think of Solomon’s plight if he had undertaken to
drive with all those wives in the back seat.
Farmers are probably wondering what would have
happened ¡ f Congress had failed to give them “Farm
relief.”
One nice thing about night baseball is that they
never have to call the
the game on account of darkness.
We’ve heard of dancing, swimming, running, eating
and sitting marathons, but as yet no one has suggested
anything like a working marathon.

insurance advertisement. We know that one. A truck
driver.

Sunday supplement. Yes: about 4 a. m.

Here is a good thing to bear in mind:
When an investment proposition offers big returns
with very little chance of loss, it is not necessary to
send salesman around the country letting the public in.
The next time a stranger comes to you with a “sure-
shot” business opportunity, ask yourself if he isn’t
going to a good deal of trouble in order to let you
make some money. Ask yourself why he didn’t let a
few big financiers handle it. If a thing is safe for
you, it would have been safe for them.
Before you Invest,investigate! The Malheur Coun­
ty Bank will be glad to obtain reliable information for
you without charge.
