GOOD CROPS ALLURE
Failure in Morrow, Gillian and Grant
Counties Leaves Surplus Men
and Machinery.

Crop failures due to burning winds,
have left many harvesters and owners
of equipment free for the season, ac-
oording to Dell B. Scully, auditor of
the Central Door Lum ber Co., of
Portland, who arrived in Pendleton
after an extended visit to Heppnar,
lone. Condor. Lexington aud other
points in that section. says county
seat paper.
As result, many of those owning
machinery and equipment are not only
willing but anxious, he says, to accept
employment for the season in the
bounteous harvest fields of Umatilla
county and the Walla Walla valley.
''They are anxious to have the mat
ter called to the attention of the com
mercial club" said Mr.. Soully. "be-
cause there are number who would
load their threshers and other ma
chimes onto trains and bring them
here if they could be assured that
work will be plentiful"
Many of the grain warehouses do
not intend to open at all, he says, for
in many parts the grain has been
burned to cinder. The crop is prac-
tically total loss.
Especially is this tue at lone and
Condor. "a great many men in that
section are coming over this way any
way" he said. "for the harvest and
some of them intend to tring their
equipment and take their chances of
getting work so certain are they that
there will be heavy demand on ac-
count of the size and general excel
lenoe of crops in this section.
eff the farmers through some civic
organization could take the matter up
and give them assurance of work,
there is little question that the labor
problem in Umatilla county would be
solved for this season, at least"
