FARM NOTES
By One of the Farmers.

Supt. Mullen was kept busy fora
couple of days checking up the
stock and machinery on the new
farm.
William Foley has been engaged
as foreman under Supt. Mullen.

Three new farmers were added to
the farm force during the week.
TIE first question put to the new
farmers was: Can you milk?" One
said yes, the other two did not
seem to understand at first, but when
they were told that they were not
| wanted unless they could milk they
were both anxious to show what
they could do.
April showers were in order most
of the time during week past. One
would just about get dry when an
other shower would up and wet him
again, but for all that. there was no
complaining, for it's good to be out.
The farm crew were very busy all
week. The team disced, narrowed
and plauked number of acres for
garden use, and the new farmers
were broke IN planting onion sets.
About ten bushels of sets were
planted.
Supt. Mullen, with garden drill,
put in five pounds of onions seeds
on Wednesday, and said 1t was not
quite as easy as it looked.
A couple of the new farmers put
in two days picking up rock and
stones on the new farm. II made
their backs ache some
Milk ought to be more plentiful
this coming week as we expect that
some cows from the new farm will
be brought over for milking.
If a farmer can clean the cows
and get them out in the yard on
Sunday at nine a. M, why can't he
do the same the rest of the week.
An exchange says: The differ
ence between an agriculturlst and a
farmer is that the farmer gets up at
the break of day, feeds his stock
has breakfast at sun up. After his
frugal meal he bitches his team to
the pillow, takes the hard handles in
his horny hands, calls gee and haw
to his team and plows all the long
weary day. The agriculturists gets
up at eight o'clock in the morning
and after an easy breakfast pulls on
his gloves orders his horse and
buggy and drives down to town. "
Guess we belong to the farmer class
alright.
Professor Boss Of the Minnesota
Agricultural College, SAYS that sta
tistics of the actual ihours of labor
on the farms investigated show
that farmers work nine hours a day
in the summer and between four and
five hours in the winter. Still in
spite of these facts some of our
farmers think they work to much.

TENTATIVE DATES
SET FOR ROUNDUP

The 1913 Pendicton Round up will
probably be held on September is. 1s
and 20 or Sept rs, 26 and 81. The
definite dates will be settled upon in
the near future.
Director Roy I. Bishop represented
the Roundup at the meeting of the
North Pacific Fair association in Sa-
lem last week and the dates of the To-
cal frontier show was a matter con-
sidered at that time to some extent
Spokane, Walla Walla and North va
kima were very anxious that the
Roundup not be set on the dates of
their fairs but the only two weeks at
all acceptable to the Roundup board
were taken by two of the cities. Spo-
kane setting her fair for the week
of Sept. Is and Walla Walla hers for
the week of Sept. 22. An effort was
made to have the Roundup held some
time in October but for many reasons
this is objectionable to local people
A meeting of the Roundup board
will be held sometime In the near Nl-
ture to consider the matter of dates
At the Salem meeting, the Vancou-
Yer, h. c. fair was set for the first
week in September, the Vancouver,
Wash. fair for the week of Sept S
and the Yakima fair for the week of
Sept. 90. No dates have yet been set
for the Oregon state fair, the offici.

TO CURTA|L PRESIDENT SWEETS
POWER IN TRI-STATE LEAGUE:
HIS RULINGS NOT TO Be FINAL

Having accomplished all that local
fans deemed necessary to secure a
square deal during another season of
baseball, Roy W. Ritner and John
Dickson returned yesterday from
Boise where they represented the
PendIsion club at the Western Tri-
state League meeting. Though w. N.
Sweet will remain president, he will
not have the arbitrary power which
he had last year and his rulings will
not be final or irrevocable.
He will still retain the privilege of
hiring and firing umpires but that
privilege now has string to 1t. Dur
ing the season of 1918, the big end Of
the power will be with the directo-
rate, composed of one representative
from each club. If at any time ma
jority of these directors object to an
umpire, they have but to notify the
president of their dissatisfaction to
secure his dismissal. If the president
stll withholds the discharge, then. by
the revised bylaws the secretary
must refuse to pay any further salary
to the unsatisfactory official
Also, hereafter, a meeting of the di-
rectorate must be called at any time
that three directors desire it, whereas
before meetings could be called only
at the order of the president. All
other official acts of the president are
subject to the veto of the directors.
Meeting Tomorrow Night.
AT meeting of the local club held
at II o'clock this morning, Mr.. Rit-
ner made a report of the concessions
made to Pendleton and 1t was the
unanimous opinion of those present
that the local delegates had been en-
tirely successful in their mission. SO
satisfied were the fans with the new
arrangements they have decided to
