Do NOT Be
DISCOURAGED

Just because we have lost the grea
ter part of our fruit crop in tbs Sac
ton is no particular reason for be-
ing discouraged. 1t is true It means
a loss to some of us, but there are
so many other sources of revenue
that We should turn our attention
to and just forget that We might
haya had a fruit crop. However the
fruit crop is not altoge ether a falI--
ure. Some sections will have con-
siderable fruit. Those who were de-
pending on fruit crop for work can
all find employment at other things
as help is much more scarce than at
normal times. We are growing each
year into more diversified farming
and the loss of fruit will not be
SO keeuly felt. Hogs, cattle, grain,
hay, dairying end poultry raising are
all bound to bring thousands of dol-
lars into our community. 1t Is bal
policy to get into the dumrs just
because We have been crippl-d in
source of revenue Two years ago
when we lost the entire fruit crop,
We hung our lip for a while, but fine
ly caught step and went ON as tho
nothing had happened and 1t prov
ed to be one Of the best years for
business VIC have he'd in many.

AT 1880 this forenoon a small
house belonging to w. A. Cougha-
nour, just north OF the cannery, oc,
cupied by Mrs. Miller, a willow wo-
man with five small children, was
totally d stroyed by fire, together
with all OF the contents. Also a
small house nearby belonging TO
Jimmie Burrs, an old time sheep
herder OF this VALLEY, and all OIL
his belongings which were in the
house were also burned
These buildings were but short
distance iron the cannery and tn
wind blowing in that direction made
il very oi11icult for a tine to saw
it from the same late, but by tn
heroic efforts OF the first arrival with
a bucket brigade, prevented furth~r
sprea@ until the fire company ar
rived, when short work was soCn
mao OF any turthCr danger. There
were several other houses nearby in
the path of the flames that would
have been consumed without the
aid of the fire company. There was
40 insurance ON any of the property.

small boy bus.ly engaged at some
kind of sport and went to see what
he was doing, and found he had a
fine thread attached to bumble--

any of our boys try this stunt, We
would suggest they find out how
that Lad got the string fastened to
the kite.

FARM BUREAU
NOTES

Morn Corn.
Unless more corn is soon planted
the Valley is liable to find exces-
sive prices this fall for wheat SUBJ
stitutes, as little or no wheat flour
will be available. Oregon this week
is having days during which no
wheat flour is being sold. This may
be a general fact for all states by
fall. Imported corn will be high in
price and it may be imposs Bile to
import eastern corn. If your fruit
trees are not loaded better drill IN
a few acres of corn.
Hay Labor. 54
You now know about how many
hay hands you will need for this
first cutting. Better book them now
Jas we daily forward ranch men to
other sections because local .ranch--
ers haven't put in their orders. Last
minute calls may find ranch help
working elsewhere.
Pure Bred Stock.
Exchange pure bred bulls within
the county-both beef and dairy
types. Registered stock, especially
should not be sold outside Payette
County.
Mangels: Last Call.
Tho rather late to plant mangel
wurtzels yet better drill half
acre for COW and chicken feed. 1t is
a great winter stock feed, appetizing
and a splendid conditioner. Danish
Sludstrup, Golden STankard, or Half
Sugar, are much easier grown than
carrots as mangels often weigh 20
pounds apiC ce. Thin out to 10 or 10
inches apart. A half acre will re-
quire only about 1-2 pounds seed
which should yield tcn tons feeh
valued ct So 90 per ton. A good seed,
