Wolf, Wolf, But It Was
A False Alarm-No Fire

The shepherd Of old played an ex-
ceedingly good joke on the townspeople
by crying Wolf wolf there are wolves
among my sheep" And he had the
laugh on the foolish townspeople when
they arrived in the pasture, clubs in
hand. to fnd there were no wolves.
However one day the wolves came, but
the people from town would be no long
er fooled and the herder was out a few
perfectly good sheep.
These care-free jokesters who find
delight in sounding the fire alarm
whenever the fancy strikes them are
enactihg the old story wolf, WOLF in
new way. But Heppner people can't
afford to take any chances Past ex-
perience has proven that Such a mis-
demeanor as sounding a false alarm
should be followed by the strong arm
of the law with a heavy penalty and
such an act as that perpetrated last
Tuesday morning would not soon be re-
peated.

The work reflects credit on Engineer
vinton and Superintendent of Construc-

will be a pleasure to travel by auto
mobile to Portland. While the con-
summation of that event may be dis

the state highway commission moves,
it is hoped the road will be completed
within a reasonable time-before the
work so far done will be worn and

between $500 and $500, and found that
people generally were in hearty SYM

farm home for dependent and orphan
children.
although the campaign was a tribe
slow in getting under way in various
counties OF the state. IT is now gaining
momentum and there is no question in
my mind but that the full state quota
will be obtained was the assuring pre-
diction of State Chairman John e.
Wheeler.
With the s125,O00 fund assured. ar
rangements for the purchase and es-
tablishment Of farm home in Benton
county will be completed. and the
home will be put in readiness for the
little waits of Oregon early in the new

undertaking than the breeding Of red
clover. These facts have been brought
out by recent experiments conducted
by the United States department Of
agriculture In cooperation with Iowa
State college. The federal depart
ment's investigators plan to follow up
these discoveries with the selection
and breeding of white sweet clover
for increased forage and seed produc-
ton.
1t was also found that sweet clover
needs a great deal of moisture to ma
ture the seed properly. This is one
Of the reasons why the second crop Of
sweet clover sometimes has a better
seed yield than the first. There being
smaller amount of growth on the
second crop, the plants do not draw
on the water supply SO strongly and
there is more water left for the matur-
ing Of the seed.

BLUE GRASS IS Detrimental

Nothing is more detrimental to the
growth Of alfalfa than blue grass. and
perhaps nothing is harder to get rid
of. Some use the springtooth harrow.
but 1t does not do satisfactory work.
The Iowa State college says the disk
does much better work. as It will tear
out the blue grass and leave most Of
the alfalfa unhurt. Naturally. the disk
will split some Of the crowns of the
alfalfa. but this Is far better than los
ing the whole field. The disking
should be done right after the first or
second cutting.

Less Waste In Feeding.

Almost any green crop can be made
Into silage successfully. Much care.
however. must be taken to expel the
air from such hollow-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting
fine and packing firmly. Other crops.
Of which fegumes are examples, are de-
fcient in the fermentable constituents
needed for palatable silage. On the
other hand. few crops, such as the
saccharine sorghums, have so much
sugar that unless cut at a more ma
ture stage they have . tendency to
produce sour silage.
Food Material From Corn.
In most parts of the United States
more food material can be obtained
from an acre Of corn as silage than
from an acre of any other crop that
can be grown. Corn Is more easily
harvested and put into the silo than
crops like rye. clover, cowpeas. or al
falfa, and when cut for silage the max
imum quantity Of nutrients is pre-
served. Experiments have shown that
corn. when sliced, lost 15.6 per cent Of
the dry matter, against 23.S per cent
when cut for fodder and cured in the
field. Moreover, there Is less waste in
feeding silage than in feeding fodder,
since good silage properly fed Is all
consumed.
Land Ready.
When corn is cut for silage the land
Is cleared and left ready for another
crop sooner than when the corn Is
shocked or is husked from the stand

Farmers, as a rule, are highly indi-

business conditions vary widely. Ac-
cordingly, ready-made systems Of farm
