Stanfield, Ore, Nov. 6.-The Stan
field Fruit Growers association, at
day evening discussed the subject of
trees for next spring planting. Sec
retary A. w. Gray reported that he
had received some very favorable
quotations on fruit trees for spring
delivery from reliable nurseries and
he was instructed to ascertain from
land owners in the Furnish project
the number of varieties of trees de-
sired so that the orders may be con-
sc lidated and sent in as soon as pos
sible. This feature of the association
has proven of great advantage as
the grouping of orders for nursery
stock has enabled it's members to Sc
cure first class stock at the very
! lowest prices for the reason that the
association places an order of suf-
ficient magnitude to command closer
attention than would result of orders
were given individually.
The high school boys have organ
lied a basket ball team and have ar
ranged to play in the C. f. Webster
building. The members of the team
are Glen Wallace, Floyd Brunfield
John Beavert, Ralph Hiatt, and Har-
old Wheeler. 1t is quite probable
| that they will play the Echo high
school team at Echo the last of next
| week
