ton will receive the heartiest support
and cooperation and the farmers,
merchants, bankers, business and pro-
fessional men have declared whole
heartedly for it. Leading bankers
throughout the South to whom these
plans have been submitted are sup
porting it and urging the speedy COM
pletion of the necessary corporation
for carrying the plan into effect. A
similar organization has already been
formed in Georgia with a. capital Of
s2,500,000. There is no question but
that one will be established in every
State in the cotton belt, thus complet-
ing the chain in the entire cotton belt.
'As result Of all this work there
is no question but that cotton will
never again sell below the cost Of pro-
duction; tht there will be a tremen-
dous saving on the economic manner
in which cotton has been handled
heretofore.
Reports received at headqua rters
show that this probably will he the

effort to lead the ist in representa-

thing one year and another thing an
other year under different seasons and
soil conditions and then try to make a
comparison.
The County Agent has plan which
has been approved by the executive
committee of the Agricultural Coun-
Gil, for working out some of these
questions. He proposes to secure
leading farmers in each community to
act as demonstrators and definitely
determine on a practical basis the best
method to follow. The results of these
demonstrations will be given public
ity through the Farm Bureau, which
will be the organization to decide just
what experiments will be tried out in
each locality. Already IA farmers
have signified a willingness to dem
onstrate and before planting starts 1T
is hoped that all grain growing COM
munities will be lined up on demon
stration program that will add in
creased wealth to the county.

SEED WHEAT CERTIFIED.

"Umatilla County Will sell good
deal of wheat this year for number
2 mixed wheat price, largely be-
cause mixed and not pure seed was
planted last fall" was the statement
made by Professor G .R. Hylop who
assisted the Sounty Agent in a survey
of the wheat belt before harvest.
The survey avs not as effective as it
should be on account of the fact that
the county agent had been in the coun-
ty only ten days and had no Farm
Bureau to make a preliminary selec-
ton of fields to be inspected. How
ever, considerable good. clean seed
vas located, chiefly of the White Fly
brid No. 12S variety, No Turkey.
jenkins or Red Chaff Club was found
sufficiently clean to certify. The
Jenkins and Red Chaff in particular
were found generally to be badly
mixed.
Quite a number of farmers who de-
sire to improve their seed have been
by the agent to owners of
certified seed.

Umatilla County.

AS compared with highway plans
and development in other counties of
eastern Oregon, Umatilla stands out
plainly as No. 1. In this respect it
has earned the right to be called
highway headquarters for Eastern
Oregon. Umatilla County was among
the first to vote a bond issue and the
amount raised was $1,050,000. A
large portion of this was appropriated
for comparative work with the state
and government and creditable
showing has been made both in grad
ing in surfacing work.
In addition to the state contracts
under way the county courts are rush.
ing highway Improvement work They
are well equipped to carry on con-
struction which in under the direct
supervision of r. f. P-cfps, county
road master. Together with the coun-
ty work and coopera with the state
contracts the County Court spends a
large portion of its time on highways.
As a result Judge C. H. Marsh and
Commissioners Dunning and Andeer-
son are becoming highway experts
They are really carrying a burden in
the matters of securing right of ways
adjusting differences, etc.
While Umatilla County has received
considerable aid from the state it has
not received any beyond what was
due. In the way of cooperation Uma-
tilla County is in a class by itself in
Oregon. In addition to grading the
roads. it has agreed to pay a large
part of the cost of paving. Umatilla
County now has 22 miles of paving
and 25 miles of graveled highway.
Approximately SO miles have been
graded on the state system and con-
tracts have been signed for SO miles
more. Umatilla County is proud of
its highway record and will continue
the highway movement until all the
main roads are improved.

DEMONSTRATIONS PLAN.
NED FOR FARM BUREAU

Is wheat, barley or rye the most
profitable crop on the lighter soils in
the county?
Which is the most profitable variety
of winter wheat for each part of Una
tiIla county?
Where barley is grown, which is
the most profitable variety?
How much does the time of plow-
ing influence the yield?
How much is it profitable to work
summer fallow?
Is continuous deep plowing worth
while?
Under what conditions will 1t be
profitable to harrow winter wheat?
What is the best rate of seeding in
each locality?
Is it worth while to pull a packer
after the plow?
Which is the better, bluestem or
formaldehyde treatment for smut?
When is the best time to plant with
the least danger of smut?
Can you answer correctly all these
questions? You may do so to your
own satisfaction, but are all the far
mers in your locality agreed upon the
answer? These are some Of the ques-
tions that experiment stations have
partially or completely determined.
But there is no experiment station in
the grain belt of Umatilla county, and
even il there was, climatic and soil
conditions vary so greatly that what
may be proved to be true for one To-
cality will not necessarily hold good
in another.
The reason why there is a differ
ence of opinion on these matters is
largely because farmers win try one

of Condor and on miles between
Mayville and Fossil and uDon -

Spray and the mouth of Sarvice Creek
and between Fossil and Butter Creek

Contracts now let for work upon the
John Day Highway call for sum of
approximately s610 900. Additional
work definitely planned will require
approximately s5s0.000. BY special
taxes or local bond issues the counties
have made appropriations as follows;

LaGrande Joseph Highway
Considerable interest has been
shown in the highway to be construc-

This is the proper outlet to the Wal

valley from La Grande through Elgin,

An important east and west high

as the Mckenzie River Highway. This
