Feeds 100 Head Of Stock,
Sells $450O Worth Of Hay
From 80 Acres Of Alfalfa

The Times Herald has urged from
time to time the advantages Of alfalfa
fields and occasionally nnds real fg-
ures TO back up its assertion that the
alfalfa man has the best Of the other
farmer In this section.
This week we had a neighbor. who
has what In termed a dry farm, as

does get some water for irrigation.
give a discussion Of his operations
for the past season.
This man has some so acres In
alfalfa and this season he disposed
OF $4,000 worth OF hay besides hav-
ing enough left TO feed his 100 head
OF stock. Ho sold twelve head OF
steers that brought him over $1,000.
and had just brought In is turkeys
that day which he sold to local peo-
pie. During the season he miiks a
number OF cows and the butter fat
IN shipped to an outside creamery
which sends a good size check every
week.
What farm along the river with
that amount OF acreage In use can
make as good return? Is alfalfa
worth while? Or In the present plan

EFFORTS BEING MADE
TO OBTAIN SERVICES
OF COUNTY NURSE
Oregon n Anti tuberculosis
Society Requested to Make
Demonstration.

Several active public-spirited or
ganizations In this city are cooper
ating In an EFFORT 10 secure county
nurse. The campaign, originating
with the Red Cross, is being actively
supported by the American Legion,
Mothers club and other. live bodies.
The present plan Is To nrst prevail
upon the Oregon Anti-Tuberculosis
society. which has In other counties
fostered this work. TO provide the
county with a nurse for period or
demonstration. TO bring Its value TO
the attention OF county officials and
the public. The value OF such ser
vice, as has been demonstrated In
other counties that now provide for
the maintenance OF n county nurse
I'm their annual budgets. is almost
inestimable. The scope OF the work
In unlimited.
This nurse maintained by the
county would not only be ON hand
for practical nursing In time OF cpl
demic, but could train others through
the provision of a nursing course,
not only for care OF the sick in such
emergencies, but also for preventive
ana ftuituiti Wptn w sh't wv
homes. She would be prepared TO
train school students and others In
First Aid, TO confer with teachers
and mothers relative TO the health
and physical training OF the children
and to supervise such training
throughout the schools OF the
county.
/. The position is not intended to su-
persede that of county physician, but
covers much that the county physi-
clan can not be expected TO do. In
many cases, county nurse would be
able to give valuable assistance TO
the county physician. ,
~ Undoubtedly the generous response
OF Harney county to all calls made
upon II by the Red Cross In Its sew
erai drives for war time and peace
time relief funds. and to the Oregon
socity In the sale
OF Christmas seals, will have con-
siderable influence toward inducing
the active cooperation OF the former
organization, and the pioneering OF
this work In Harvey county by the
latter. Public spirited citizens VINO
wish To- aid In this cause can be OF
consid cradle help by writing individ-
ually In It's support to DR.. David N.

Upon assuming charge OF the sta

found conditions very unsatisfactory
The major part OF the fall work re-
manned TO be completed in the spring

TO secure, the spring was cold and
backward. the precipitation for the
past three years far below normal.
with Indications that sagerats., grass
hoppers and late spring frosts were to
be unusually numerous. fi.
At the opening OF the farming sea-
son a careful survey OF the moisture
conditions on the dry-land summer
fallow was made. the results showing
that the soil was moist TO a depth
varying from TO t6 inches. below
which the soil was 40 dry that IL
would not stick to soil ,auger. II
will be we'll 20 bear in mind this fac;
when checking over the dry-iand

All the land TO be handled under
irrigation should have been fall
plowed. This. howsvcr, was not
done. hence delayed the eeoding OF
the crops until Il became necessary
to irrigate before seeding.
Taking all factors into considera-
tion, some OF the results are cxcep-
tionally good. some only fair. and In
n good many cases the results are not
representative. due TO the inefficient
work OF the Irrigation Assistant who
resigned by request August hrst.
Some OF the principal limos OF In
vcs,igntional work conducted at the
station are as follows:
Dry Land.

GR|EV|NG FATHER
ENDS LIFE
Urn Containing Ashes OF Aviator Son
Clutched i'm His Arms

Clutching to his breast an urn con-
tanning the ashes of his only son.
Carl Edwin Ekstrand, United States
aviator, who was killed while flying
at Ellington Field, Houston, Texas,
two years ago. Charles Ekstrand, a
wealthy mechanical engineer, Brook
Ign, fired bullet from a revolver
through his right temple. He was
found dead by his wife when she en-
tered the room.
According to Mrs. Ekstrand, her
husband was to have retired from
business soon and reside at Stats
burg, N. Y, where recently he pur-
chased beautiful home close to the
Morgan estate.
On April 4, 1918, while young Elk
strand was flying 1000 feet above Ell
llngton Field, something went wrong
with the mechanism of his plane,
which crashed to earth. killing him.
The war department notified the boys
father, who requested that young
Ekstrand's body be cremated and the
ashes sent to him. He had silver urn
made and placed the ashes in it.
On the top floor Of the Ekstrand
house, a three-story brownstone
house, was room which the boy had
furnished as den" In this room
Mr.. Ekstrand placed the urn on a
table, and, according to his widow,
he held the room sacred and would
spend hours in it. 1t was there that
Mr. Ekstrand ended his life.
Mrs. Ekstrand said that following
her sons death her husband scarcely
ever mentioned his name. This silent
grief, she believes led her husband to
commit suicide New York World.
