We are all of us very much inter-
ested in growing wheat in Morrow
county and yet we may not grow
wheat which Is best adapted to the
different localities. In Sherman
county number Of years ago the
people practically universally grew
bluestem wheat. They thought 1t
was the only wheat. Today they are
growing Turkey Red and 1t has made
them a great many more bushels to
the acre than bluestem ever made
After they had Grown Turkey Red
for a number of years one Of the very
many varieties of Turkey which have
been tried In Sherman county was
found to be very much more profit
able than the original strain. They
are now raising Karkov, which has
for period Of four years given an
average yield Of four bushels per
acre better than any other wheat
in Sherman county, This at present
prices has meant an average net yield
to each farmer who raised Karkov
wheat Of approximately $500 per
acre, due to proper seed selection.

WHEAT FARMER PAID

Ernest Heliker Bought 1900 Acres of
Land Near lone Years Ago.-Its
Now Paid For and He Has
Big Farming 0utfit.

Some people laughed at Ernest
Heliker and others prophesied that he
would never make it, when he went
in debt for 1900 acres of land from
the Woolery estate near lone, but
Ernest thought differently. He went
to work and by using good farming
methods since taking the ranch five
years ago, has paid off his indebted
ness and has one of the best plants
for growing wheat in the entire coun.
ty.
Mr.. Heliker had remarkable crol
this year when dry conditions are
considered. His hybrid wheat made
yield of 27 bushels and his Turkey
Red wheat made 20 bushels. Mr.
Heliker does his harvesting with a
combine.
So that $4,000 debt passed away
like magic and Mr.. Heliker is facing
the future just as happy as the pro-
verbal lark. He sold $4,000 worth
of his wheat the other day, and he
has got a good pile Of the golden
grain left.

the best wheat. We should know.
THIS is certainly worth while. In
Umatilla county they have raised a
great many different strains Of wheat
but they are now almost unanimously
decided on 12S Hybrid wheat. This
is clearly the best wheat for Umatilla
county, at least it is the best known
wheat at the present time, Morrow
county stands between these two and
has bodies of land which are similar
to both. We have many divergent
conditions. 1t seems probable that
there are several wheats here which
might be we'll adapted to different
communities. But We do not know
how to recommend.
Probably no farmer in this county
Is in any position to say what Is the
correct wheat to raise in Morrow
county or upon his own ranch. Forty
Fold wheat Is a wheat which has
many friends. In sections where
straw is very valuable for cattle feed
and in the heavy foothill land un.
doubtedly Forty Fold will have a
place. The friends of bluestem wheat
may be counted by the hundreds. II
is surely very desirable wheat.

Agents Office at absolute cost to all
purchasers. Most wheat farmers
will agree that obtaining wheat from
outside soil is a good proceeding.
This wheat will be less than one per-
cent foreign wheat, be true to type
and will be the very best obtainable
seed OF its kind. We so far have
been unable to obtain on the outside
any blue stem wheat although We still
have hopes. We have not yet seen
all the fields Of blue stem wheat in
Morrow county, but would like to
mention that John Carmichael, north
of Lexington, has the purest seed Of
blue stem which 1t was our privilege
to see. Those wishing better strain

had but 10000 lambs offered yester.

UNION COUNTY MAN
OBTAINED RESULTS
Selected Forty Fold Seed Grown by
Union Station Nets Money
For Farmer.

Eastern Oregon Branch Station,
Union, Aug. l2-The finest Forty
fold seed wheat in the state was
grown In Union county this year by
Charles Playle, William Ledbetter,
and Duncan Mcdonald, all Of the
Sand Ridge section. according to
Prof. G. R. Hyslop of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College who is touring the
state inspecting grain fields for seed
certiiication.
The seed planted to grow this
Forty-fold came originally from a
single plant selected in pure line
selections at the Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station in 1915. Two years
,go Mr.. Playle secured from the
Experiment Station a small quantity
" the seed that had been grown from
this single plant and by using ex-
treme care in growing it he kept the
selection pure and produced large
quantity OF certified seed sample of
which took first pnze at the state
fair last year. Sufficient seed had
been grown to furnish Mr.. Ledbetter
and MIR. Mcdonald enough to plant
about a thousand acres and thus from
single plant this section has OBJ
tanned a start In the production of
certified seed.
The use of this pure bred seed
gave an increased yield Of more than
10 bushels to the acre according to
Mr.. Ledbetter whose yield on dry
land was over 40 bushels to the acre
Ia spite of the scarcity of rain in
this section during the growing sea
soI.
Probably all of the Forty-fold
wheat grown by these men will be
sold and used for seed this coming
year. County Agent Paul Spillman,
Of Union county has already received
number of inquiries for certified
seed. Wheat growers seem to be
vitality interested In varieties or
strains which will produce larger
yields Of first grade market wheat
and are willing to pay a premium in
order to secure such varieties.

LIVING COST HIGHER
IN MIDDLE WEST
County Clerk Waters Finds People of
Kansas and Nebraska at Outs
With Administrations. Un-
rest Very Noticeable.

Living is much higher in middle
western states than on the Pacific
Coast" said ]. A. Waters in speaking
Of his recent visit there. Mr.. Waters
went east with shipment of cattle
to Omaha a few weeks ago and made
a visit with his mother at the old
home in Hayes, Kansas.
Mr.. Waters said Kansas had great
prospects for wheae crop early in
the season and indications for fifty
bushel yield were excellent up until
about two weeks before harvest when
extreme hot weather set in and the
production was cut in many places
as much as fifty per cent. At that,
Kansas is just simply "all wheat" ac-
cording to the county clerk and he
says he never saw so many stacks in
his life. Land values have jumped
tremendously In Kansas within the
last few years and land that was once
lSbdiutu WI tHAcoo 10 hOn hSiu dc
the best producer of wheat in the
middle west.
There is quite noticeable spirit
Of unrest among middle western peo-
ple," continued Mr.. Waters. What
the cause for this is, don't know,
but expressions of dissatisfaction of
the present administration in Wash
ington, is quite general. Wilson for
another term is out Of the question
there and Wilson man as his sue
cessor is looked upon with disfavor." !"
Mr.. Waters visited in Salt Lake
while returning home and he thinks
it is one of the prettiest places
through which he has passed. The
city is laid off beautifully, with wide
streets and there is the greatest
abundance of fine water While In
Salt Lake, Mr.. Waters stopped at the
Hotel Utah. This hotel was built
at a cost Of two and a half million
dollars and is said to be the finest
west of Chicago.
In conclusion the county clerk
said, "while a great quantity of wheat
has been produced in Kansas this
year, | did not see any that will COM
pare in quality with that raised In
Morrow county. From milling
standpoint there is no. comparison. "

Month.-Fine Music VIII
BE Furnished.

Morrow county people will have
their first opportunity to take a trip
to the clouds by the airplane route
during the Seventh Annual County
Fair, Sept. IL, u, 13.
There will be an airplane here dur
ing the three days of the Fair and
when the pilot is not busy thrilling
the crowds with his daring stunts in
mid-air he will be taking the breath
away from passengers who might
want to experience some Of the SEN
sations of an aviator. The air pilot
is an army man with experience in
France and holds license for carry
ing passengers.
One OF the stellar attractions of
the Fair will be the music. People
are still talking about the good music
furnished by the band at the Fair last
year and if Secretary Brown succeeds
in landing the organization which he
is now figuring with, the music will
be supplied by the same band, Camp
BELLS, which played here last year.
A merryg go-round is assured now,
80 the children may be happy. There
will be other attractions of this order
which the Fair Board is not yet ready
to announce.
Other features are being worked
out, one Of which is patriotic pro-
gram on one day, at which time a
speaker Of statewide repute will ad-
dress our people. A big street parade
will be held and 1t is to be hoped that
this will be one of the biggest ever
pulled off here. Every business
house in Heppner and private in
dividuals will be urged to enter floats
In this parade. Street sports and
