That sherman county farmers have
taken hope from the success of the
Inland Empire Whaeatgrowers' asso-
ago. is shown by the fact that they
have organized on similar lines.
George n. Crossfield of Wasco.
sherman county, attended the mass
meeting in this city three weeks ago,
at which time the Umatilla county as
sociation was formed and Immediately
on his return the farmers of that
county arranged to organize.
A special from The Dalles says:
A mass meeting of farmers has
been called to meet at Wasco, Sher-
man county, Saturday, July I, to dis
cuss the price now asked for grain
periodical sales of wheat the same as
woolgrowers sell their wool.
Prices for grain bags are out of all
reason. the farmers say, and they in
tend to hold off threshing for 60 days,
If need be, until they can get sacks in
the open market at Hongkong or in
the east and bring them to Portland.
Enough wealthy and independent far
mers are ready to pledge themselves
to insure this being done. The price
| of bags in Moro is IL cents each. An
| option on lot of bags in Portland
was held by Sherman county man
| today at 77k cents, but his order for
| $50. 900 bags was raised cents as
soon as the option expired, because
his money had failed to reach the
bank in time. The bags were there
and farmers say they were worth nc
more then than they were before the
option expired.
Arrangements are being made by
the Independent farmers to loar
money to farmers who may need fl
nuncial assistance so that no whea
will be threshed until the cheap bag!
get here from Hongkong.
Threshing is not expected to star
here much before August Is, so tina
working in conjunction with Umatilli
and Walla Walla farmers, Sherman
county can get cheap sacks by direc
buying in the open market, if not 9th
erwise and still not delay harvesting
dangerously long.
After threshing the proposed or
ganization will take charge of al
wheat offered for sale and invite out
side buyers and millers to come an
attend genuine wheat sales.

the first sapphire.

SQUAD FARMING TRUTHS.
Facts Cleaned from Thirty Years Ex-
perience.

SQUAD farming has developed in the
last ten years into an industry of con-
siderable Importance, and so far there
is no trust connected with it.
1t is important, before going into
the industry, that a fair statement be
made of what the financial returns
may be. For while the work among
the birds may to many people be the
most delightful and fascinating of all
rural occupations, still serious disap-
poinrment will be met if only the
glowing promises of the boomers are
read.
Much of the squad farming litera-
ture disseminated by those having
breeding birds to sell would indicate
that to obtain one of their beautifully
illustrated booklets and to buy some
birds from them, is all that is re-
quired to assure complete success and
large profits. That is very far from
the truth.
If one is fond enough of the work
really to give the closest attention to
his birds until he knows they are
properly mated (and this requires a
great deal of time and patience even
from the most eXperienced), and then
will daily continue to give them the
most careful attention and see that
all their requirements are met (and
this is essentially, such a one will run
a good chance of raising an average Of
fhrln oirc 0f or11>t >to1, Ia
squads per pair of breeders per annum
in the northern states. He will, how
ever, raise three to four pairs very
much oftener than fve
Presuming that the flock consists
OF Homers, the squads produced
should be mostly eight pounds to the
dozen, says Howard Butcher, in Farm
Journal. There might be few weigh
ing nine pounds to the dozen, and an
occasional one little heavier; but
there will also be few weighing as
low as six to seven pounds 10 the
dozen, and once in while GULL Any
body in the last IL months who oh.
tained an average of three dollars per
dozen for squads from such flock,
got about the highest wholesale mar
ket price. 1t must be borne in mind
that while squads command fancy
prices in winter, that season is the
time when comparatively few are pro.
duced; the greatest prod uction is in
the summer when the prices are the
lowest. There is an opportunity some.
times to sell young birds for breeding
purposes and thus get better price
for them than by killing for squads,
but, as rule, SQUAD farmers have to
depend upon sending the birds to
market.

Lost in the Blizzard.

Dan Peterson, travelling man for a
st. Paul harness house, came near loos-
ing his life in the North Dakota biz
zard Friday and Saturday Dec. and 8.
Not only his but also the life of the
Is year old boy that was sent out with
him to drive the livery team. They
left Sawyer, n. D. Tuesday and drove
over to Max. Mr.. Peterson took in
Ruso also. They left for Dogden
shortly after noon. In their travels in
the storm they got lost and did not see
a light until about six o'clock when
they ran across Russians house and
wanted to stop for the night. The
Russian said that it was only half !
mile to Dogden and that the road was
good. The door was slammed shut
and there was nothing to do but mean
der on. They missed Dogden and were
hopelessly lost. They finally ran into
shack and they unhitched the ponies
and took them into the shack with
them. Mr.. Peterson found nothing in
the shack except little kindling and
part Of roll of tar paper. He broke
a glass out of the window, made a stove
pipe out of the tar paper and ran it out
of the window. He whitfield kindling
all night and kept a small fire gong.
The boy slept but be dared not do so.
The next day they started out into the
storm and tried to get somewhere
They we're compelled to abandon the
buggy and lead the ponies.
they thought they would never get
out of the storm alive. On and on they
went. They finally struck the railroad
west of Dogden and followed it toward
town. They did not know where they
were. They found a string of cars and
the wind blew between the cars so
fercely that the ponies would be driven
down the ewbankment every time they
came to the end of a car. They we're
exhausted. The boy was exhausted
and he was exhausted. They had had
nothing to eat since Friday noon.
They finally arrived at the Dogden ele-
vators on the south side of the track
and crawled into the engine room of
one of the elevators. Mr.. Peterson says
he could not have gone another mile to
save his life. He hired man to gath.

Yard.
Lumber

A meeting was held at the Vernon
town hall in Oslo Saturday afternoon
for the purpose of considering the ad-
visibility of establishing a farmers CO.
operative lumber yard in Hay6eid.
After extended discussion a motion
was made that standing vote be TAX

ough review of the lumber situation as
it affects Hayfieid and vicinity. 1t re-
ferred specially to the establishment of
an independent lumber yard in Hay

quent purchase of this yard by the line
companies.
The report OF the Lake Mills Coop
erative Lumber Go. was read and show
ed that that company was established
fifteen years ago with capital of only
$l,2O0. During the Gfteen years it has
sold approximately $605,000 worth of
lumber and has paid out over $4,000 in
dividends. At present POP shares of
stock, par value $40, are held by share
holders, representing paid-in capital
of $4,000. Its assets are as follows:
Real estate, $4,000; lumber stock, 49,
600; accounts receivable and Of good
standing, $4,000; undivided surplus,
$4,000. These figures are only approx
mate in round numbers, the report be-
ing given in detail and in exact figures.
One especially encouraging feature of
the report was the unanimous endorse
ment which was given to the 0rganiza-
tion by the business men of Lake Mills.

Clean Up!

Clean up! The police and health inspec-

places for disease germs They will look

have the stern finger of the law held up at
him in a warning and possibly Furnishing
manner
Clean up! Do 1t not as a defense against
police court prosecution or a protection
from police attentions. but as a safeguard
against disease. Your own health Is your
most valuable asset, and that of your fam
lily should be your chief concern in all
things. You should be the last person In
the world to contribute to the possibility of
disease within striking range Of your own
home.
Clean up! Do it as matter of pride.
You take pride in your home. surely, and
possibly in your city. You should. II you
do not. What is the use of living In dirt?
Water is plentiful and cheap. Labor Is
cheap-your own labor In your own behalf
is the cheapest of all. You can not plead
lack of time You can get up some morning
an hour earlier than usual and do all that
needs to be done.
Clean up! You will be delighted to find 1t
easy to have a neat back yard. You may
discoxer that there is higher standard of
domestic maintenance than you have been
recognizing heretofore. Your children will
probably be quick to take advantage of the
exposed soil and plant flowers and possibly
you will find space for little kitchen gar
den. Growing plants, not weeds. are In
finitely better than lot of tin cans and
broken boxes and collapsing barrels.
Clean up! Go after the trash today, better
than tomorrow morning. Do not wait for
the police to come and tell you how to
live. Step out and strike the pace of the
good citizen who wants to do something
for the benefit of the whole community.
