HOW IS THIS?

Mr.. j. S. DeWolf of Woodlawn
brought in load of oranges Saturday
drew quite little attention. A part Of
the load consisted of Grape fruits and
oranges from the grove Of Mr.. M. j
O'Connor near Woodlawn. MIR. o
Conner himself lives in Kansas City
but year ago he planted this grove
and is now gathering fruit. Mr.. De
Wolf sold the Grape fruit from these
one year old trees at one Sl.00 per doz
en- which shows the excellent quality
Of the fruit.
MIR. O'Connor will probably move Il
this section some time this year and
follow up the orange business.
The community will welcome thii

ROAD SUPERVISORS OF
THEIR DUTY.
Law Requires Supervisors to Notify
Farmers to Destroy Weeds Before
They Bear Seed.

A war on weeds that menace the
farm lands OF Umatilla county is 10
be made in conformance with the
state law and Prosecuting Attorney
Frederick Steiwer is now serving no.
tice upon all road supervisors of
their duty and also supplying them
with a copy of the law under which
they can compel landowners to de-
stroy the pernicous weeds.
The weeds enumerated as harmful
include the Russian and Canada
thistle, the Chinese thistle, Jim Hill
mustard, cocklebur and silver salt
bush. The law makes it duty of the
road supervisor from time to time to
ascertain whether or not any of the
weeds abound in his district, and If
so, to serve written notice upon the
land owner to destroy the same be-
fore they bear seed. On failure OF
the landowner to comply with the
order, the supervisor has the power
to hire labor and destroy the weeds
himself, the expenses to become lien
against the property. Landowners
are also held responsible for the
WeeuS growing on the IoduS duJaSSHl
to their property.
The following is a copy of the
prosecuting attorneys letter:
Dear Sir: Considerable complaint
was made last year in different Sec
| tions of the county that the weed
| laws were not being enforced. Al
| that time it was so late in the season
that it was practically impossible to
| enforce the law. Its enforcement
would have meant great injury tc
many property owners. In order thai
the matter may be taken up this veal
in time, 1 am taking the liberty o.
| enclosing to you herewith copy o.
portions of the law, particularly a!
1t affects the duties of the road sup
ervisors. Please understand that
am not attempting to dictate wha
YOU shall do as road supervisor.
am advising all the supervisors nov
in the hope of avoiding complaint thi
summer. If you desire to give no
tices as provided in the law. sugges
| that you call upon me, or upon tn
county clerk, and l think notices Il
blank form can be provided for you
use. Respectfully yours,

figures he give are astonishing. although
he does not include all that might be cited

Some people do not know that there are
numerous grades of eggs and that the deal
ers pay more or less according to the
Grade. There is one thing that every
farmer does know and this is that in most
cases e&es collected on the ranch are sci.
dom sorted but are sold just as they are
collected. Hence it is left to the dealer
to grade the eees so that they may be
placed upon the market in proper condi.
tion and at prices fixed according to their
value. The simple act Of grading efss,
whether by the huckster who travels from
farm to farm, or by the commission mer.
chant who handles them in car lots, may
not appeal to'most producers Is beins i'm

man who does it great deal OF profit that
would have gone into the farmer's pocket.

WANTS RAILROAD REBUILT

The committee having charge of the
matter of circulating the petitions asking
the Santa Fe to rebuild the Arkansas
Valley road to this city, has finished its
work and the petitions will be sent to
Topeka in time for the coming meeting of
the board of directors of the system. The
committee ives appointed by the Otero
County Agricultural association a few
weeks ago, and was composed OF X. ID.
Thompson, Carey Badger and George
Haiiows, and BY good work they have
secured several hundred names OF repre-.
sentative taxpayers, and stated that in no
case have they met with any opposition,
it being the unanimous opinion Of the
people living on both sides Of the river
that the road should be rebuilt to this city.
The franchise for the road was obtained
with the understanding that there was to
be service from this city to Holly, and
when the road was first completed the
trains we're run that way and then came

east of the city. Ii has never been rebuilt,
