quantity as the Huebner grain and
there will be a good season of wheat
hauling for some of Mr.. Doherty's
men. Mr.. Doherty is primarily a
iheepman, having been engaged in
hat industry for many years. He
las three bands in the mountains at
he present time. But apparently
he is making the same success with
farming that he has made In running
his sheep. About year ago Mr.
Doherty lost his home by fire, the
house and all its contents burning
% the ground. Today there stands
IN imposing residence on the SAM
ground where the old house formerly
stood. The new house is modern In
lvery detail with running water and
electric lights. Mr.. Doherty expects
o do his own threshing this year.
The men are heading the grain at the
resent time.
]. w. Sibley is progressive young
,armer who is making an attractive
lome in the lower Strawberry Sec
ion. Although he was handicapped
asst fall with sickness in his fanni,
md was therefore unable to put in
lis crop until late. the grain is COM
,ng out good and will make a fair
jield. Mr.. Sibley is not giving hts
entire attention to grain growing
however, for he has one Of the best
gardens We have seen on the hill
ands of Morrow county. Mr.. Sibley
is fortunate In having five valuable
issets on his ranch: Mrs. Sibley,
.hree little Sibleys and an abundance
+ good water. Hence the excellent
garden stuff. Mr.. Sibley does his
harvesting with a combine and ex-
poets to get under way this week.
Two new farmers "a this same sec
ion are c. Mink and his son-in-law
Z. Ginger. Messrs. Mink and Clin-
ser formerly farmed in Umatilla
county, where they met with success
and they are introducing the same
good methods into their farming in
his county. Mr.. Ginger bought the
Albert Kerber ranch, known as the
old Newton place and Mr.. Mink
bought the Anderson brothers ranch.
Mr.. Mink has in 160 acres of whea,
IN his own land and an additional
100 adjoining, which he has rented.
These men are valuable additions to
he farming fraternity Of Morrow
county and in the few months they
have been here are already showing
that their methods are proper fol
he successful growing of crops.
E. C. Miller has two threshing out
fits on his fields this week. In ont
field his two sons are operating |
two-man Deering cmbine and tn
wheat is making yield of aroun'
15 bushels. On a field Of heavie
| grain, the Earl Warner outfit l
heading and threshing and this fiel
is making an average Of better tina
20 bushels per acre. Mr.. Miller
very well pleased with the return
he is getting, since the grain is yielt
ing heavier than he had anticipate
earlier in the season.
!; Carl Marquardt and his son hav
in a section and half of fine grail
What they have combined so far ha
been making a yield Of 20 bushels
while he estimates some of 1t will 6
over that figure and some will ia
short. Mr.. Marquardt believes thu
his entire crop will average twent
bushels from present indications.
J. D. Bauman, who farms abo,
six miles below Heppner, is threshin
from the header and his crop of blu
stem is turning out we'll. A bumpt
crop was killed in the making her
by a little hot weather and on the hi
tops the grain was burned but
that Mr.. Bauman has several hui
dred acres on which the grain
