VIM. Beymer, of Heppner, is feed
ing a fine bunch of cattle which he
will turn on to the market at the
proper time in the spring. There are
400 head of these feeders and part
of them ar now being fed in Clarks
Canyon and a part of them on the
Munkers place north of Lexington.
He is using straw stacks for feed, and
states that the cattle are doing ex-
ceedingly we'll as the straw is rich
in grain. There seems to be lot Of
this kind of feed in the county this
year, and Mr.. Beymer states that his
only regret is that there are not more
cattle to use it up. John Brosnan and
billiard French, Of Butter creek, will
move over big bunch of their stock
cattle which they will feed on the
Valentine place on Willow creek.
They have been busy getting the feed
racks ready this week.

Professor Holden realized that 1t would be
tremendous undertaking to change one-crop
system of forty years standing to safe system OF
agriculture whereby the farmers OF an ehtlre
state might be induced to raise their own 1eeo
and thus make cotton cash crop. But the great
er the odds. the greater the Incentive with nim'
and he entered upon the work with enthusiasm.
With a staff of sixty men the campaign was
carried on for period of thrtyfve days, approx
mately 1.5OO meetings being held in forty-nine
different counties covering the entire cotton belt
of the state. The speakers were not eloquent
orators. They were men who had given their
lives to the study of agricultural problems and
knew their subjects from A to and back again.
They pointed out to the farmer the folly of buy
ing food and paying big profit to someone else
when he could just well raise that food Mt
home and save this big profit Likewise they told
him that II the farmer up North could raise grain
and beef and pork and sell them to the Southern
farmer Mt profit lands valued at from 500 to
5000 acre. the Southern farmer could make
an even greater profit by raising these commod-
tiles for himself. 3
According to the Little Rock chamber Of com
merce this campaign added S3O,7441O to the
value of the agricultural products of Arkansas. a
fact which is proved by government statistics
But there were other benefits Of that campaign
which not easily measured. This huge
increase does not take into account the money
saved and kept in the state by the farmer who
raised his food at hOme-money which in
other years had gone out of the state, never to
return. Nor does 1t take into account the fact
that by raising his own food. the farmer enjoyed
better living than ever before.
Thus one by one the states of the Union are be

expert talent. the campaigns in each instance be-

JERSEY HAS MADE GREAT PROGRESS

weave which has an unfinished. inele-
CANT appearance.
One has a feeling that the exigen-
cies of war have made women get
hold of all the mems undershirts they
could find, dip them in the dye pot, put
belt around them and use them with
plated skirt.
The one feeling of Encouragement
that the American importers have had
about the abundance Of jersey cloth
clothes was caused by the sad tones
| which the buyers have chosen. An al
most unlimited range of gray and
beige predOminates.
Not one of these cOlOrs is especial
ly attractive on the American wOm-
IN. 1t takes a peculiarly toned bru-
nette to wear string. mastic, cafe au
lait, beige and the biscuit tones, and
it takes a peculiarly toned blonde to
wear gray in its several light shades
| that have neither blue nor mauve in
them.
However, the French designers have
got around this by using collars,
belts, cuffs and facings of black, dark
blue and white on these gray and
beige jersey costumes.
1t may be due to some inability to
dye this new type of jersey that the
sad cOlOrs are chosen, or 1t may be
that the manufacturers of materials
in France prefer to use the gray and
beige i'm these everyday suits and keep
the gorgeous cOlOrs for evening and
afternoon frOcks.
Have Long Tunic Coats.
The majority of the jersey suits, and
they may be called frOcks as well,
have long, tunic coats that reach to
the knees and must be slipped on
over the head through the opening ut
the neck. These coats are as shape
less as the cOstumery Of the tenth
century, and they depend entirely upon
the girdle for silhouette of any grace
or distinction.
One of the best of the jersey frOcks,
which was instantly snapped up by
the American woman, is a combination
Of black and cafe au lait. The top of
the skirt is of the latter color and is
slightly held in at the waistline SO
| that it will not stretch in an ungainly
manner across the hips and spine. II
is cut off across the hips In a sharp
line that turns and outlines a panel In
the back. The lower half of the skirt
is Of black jersey, joined to the top
in such manner that it gives slight
barrel effect and then curves in to the
ankles and falls in an irregular line
at the hem, which is the prevailing
note of the really smart frOck. The
slim bodice clings to the figure like the
