Only Committee Work.

1t was unanimously decided that
only such lines of thought as were
suggested by the various committees
o. the state and national federation
should be taken up.
The time for programs, tor enter
tainment only has passed. Under this
arrangement an hour with an author
ltative speaker, will be given to the
industrial conditions of women and
children in Oregon. Another hour
will be given to the consideration Of
good citizenship, while an entire eve
ming will be devoted to the subject Of
public health. 1t is the intention up
on this evening to have several speak
ers Of prominence, and the lectures
illustrated with stereopticon views.
Il is hoped, with some assurance Of
realization, that Mrs. Moore, the new
president Of the General Federation,
may be present. If Mrs. Moore comes
the rest Of the program will be ar
ranged so that she may have as much
time as possible to give to the meet

Forty Fold More Profitable.

The 40-fold commands better
price than the club, in fact about the
same price as blue stem, and yields
much heavier than either of the old
varieties. Blue steam has never
yielded as heavy as the club, but has
brought from two to four cents more
TO the bushel, but in the 40-fold we
find a variety that combines the best
qualities of the two old kinds of grain.
The only objection we shave heard
offered against 4O-fold wheat is that
it skaters pretty badly, and must be
cut when it is ripe or considerable
waste will ensue. Those who have
tested the relative qualities Of the
two grains claim that should the 40
fold shatter out even five or six BUSH
els to the acre it would still beat lit
tie club or blue stem.

variety of wheat will be universally
adopted by the farmers of Morrow
county and that club wheat will be
abandoned almost entirely in time.
The latter has run itself out in this
country as is characteristic of nearly
all kinds of cereals throughout the
world from time to time.
When this 40-fold grain is adopted
by all our farmers and the summer
fallow ground Is prepared according
to scientific principles (plow deep
and early, harrow often during the
summer and above all keep the
weeds DOWN Morrow county should
easily produce from 25 to 60 bushels
of wheat right along and good wheat
land ought to be worth from $25 to
$50 per acre. We believe brilliant
future awaits the wheat growers Of
this highly favored agricultural Sec
ton.

Club Notes

Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, editor of the
woman's page of the oregon Sunday
Journal, and one of the most active
club women Of the state, says Of the
coming meeting of the oregon Fed
Grafton Of women's clubs at La
Grande, which many members of Pen
dleton's progressive clubs will attend:
La Grande will be the place Of
meeting for the next convention Of
the Oregon Federation of Woman's
clubs. The exact date has not been
determined, but it will be between the
first and 10th of November.
This was decided at the meeting Of
the executive board, which was held
at Portland last week. 1t was a most
interesting meeting, with more MEM
bers in attendance than at any meet
ing since the convention last fall.
The principal matters under consid-
Grafton were the coming convention
at a Grande and the headquarters
which are to be maintained at the
state fair this year.

MORROW COUNTY
MAKES PROGRESS
NEW FARMING METHODS
ARE ADOPTED
IIeppner Times Reviews Agricultural
Needs of the County In a COmpre-
hensivc Manner-Forty-f Wheat
Is Taking Place of Other Varieties.

The Heppner Times Reviews the
agricultural outlook of Morrow coun-
ty in the following sensible and op-
timistic manner The hints to Nor
row county farmers will also apply
to Umatilla county and the East Ore
gonian takes pleasure in republish-
ing the article as follows:
Just as soon as harvesting and
threshing is over the seeding of sum-
mer-fallowed ground will begin, and
here lies a work Of vast importance
to the farmer.
If he hasn't plowed deep in the
spring, while the soil was full of life,
and if he hasn't narrowed 1t well and
kept the weeds down, the chances
for bumper crop at this time next
year will not be flatterlng, to say the
least.
Spring sowing of wheat in Morrow
county is simply wasted effort and
should be abandoned entirely, and
again the farmer reaps as he has
sown. If the seed is properly fam
ned and vitrolized the smut will not
be apt to cause the burning of the
threshing machines next season.
Club Wheat Passes Out.
The more successful farmers OF
Morrow county are becoming con-
vinced that little club wheat has just
about outlived its usefulness in this
part of the state and they are sure
they have found a worthy successor
in Forty-fold wheat.
This is practically a new grain in
this country, but several enterprls-
ing farmers have been testing 1t dur
the past couple of years and now the
majority of the wheat growers are
satisfied that 4O-fold has come to
completely revolutionize the wheat in
dustry of this country.
Numerous farmers found last year
that their 40-fold outyielded their
club wheat several bushels to the
acre. Theodore Anderson, of Eight
Mile, got 421a bushes to the acre OF
this new grain and last year he SOW
ed 1t in all his summer fallow ground.
DIR. n. e. Winnard, one of the most
extensive wheat raisers in the Hepp-
ner country, is an enthusiastic advo-
cate of the 4O-fold wheat. This sum-
mer (the season of very short crops)
he has just reaped IL bushels to he
acre of club wheat, which he sold at
TAN cents per bushel and 20 bushels
to the acre of 4O-fold wheat which
he sold at 1914 cents per bushel

Badges are always an item Of con-
siderable expense to an organization,
and the suggestion was made at the
board meeting that this year the club,
women should content themselves
with bows of club-color ribbons. But
the suggestion fell flat. Every town
that entertains wants a souvenir badge
and then the women have worked out
so many ingenious ways Of preserving
them that they must have them, so il
was decided to have them, and La
Grande will be asked to suggest de-
sign.

from her roost and wandered into Geier' s

Geier opened his kitchen door the hen
Tapped her wings, flew on the porch and

said Geicr to wife
he made good his word by preparing
ration of milk and bread, which the hen
devoured ravenously. Cackling her
thanks, she departed to the back yard.
About an hour later the hen was
discovered sitting comfortably on a set
tee on the porch. When the fire whistle
footed the noon hour the hen exuded a
joyous series of cackles When Geier
arrived on the scene he beheld a fresh
laid egg and the hen strutting proudly

Since then the hen has laid an egg
