WHEAT VARIETY MAKES
CHANGE IN FARMING
Prof. Hyslop Of the o. A. @. Makes
Field Inspection of Turkey Red,
Which is Said to be Best Wheat for
Morrow.

Morrow county is undergoing q
pronounced change in its wheat pro-
duction. Two things are responsible
for this. Early plowing for summer
fallow followed by clean culture free
from weeds has done much to i'm
prove yield and quality.
The other thing is change in var
iety. Several thousand acres of Blue
stem will give way to the premier OF
all dry land winter wheats, Turkey
Red. While Bluestem is good
wheat the many farmers who have
reseeded it year after year only to
harvest medium yield of pinched
wheat are rather envious of the bet.
ter yields and heavier wheat from
the Turkey Red fields that lived thru
the winter and produced a crop with.
out reseeding.
Turkey Red is the wheat that was
imported into Kansas from southern
Russia. 1t is noBolshevik. 1t gets
right to work and produces wheat
Kharkov is strain of Turkey wheat
and it as we'll as some other strains
have done we'll.
Turkey Red wheat changed Kansas
from an uncertainty in the wheat
game to state that leads them all
in production.
Sherman county, Oregon, produced
Forty Fold and a whole family OF
Club wheats, but when the farmers
there began standardizing on Turkey
Red they began to prosper. 1t has
made Sherman county.
Morrow county in those sections
where the rainfall is light will gel
best results with Turkey Red. County
Agent Hunt arranged for a shipment
of Turkey Red into the county last
year and at present there is an abun.
dance of good turkey wheat seed.
Prof. G. R. Hyslop Of the Oregon
Agricultural College has inspected 8
lot Of fields and up to Saturday after
noon 3115 acres of Turkey Red ha.
passed the field inspection.
Most Of this wheat was fine darl
hard winter wheat and very little Of
1t was pinched. This was marked
contrast to the forty fold and blue
stem fields.
Turkey Red is the best wheat fol
the dry hot early ripening sections
but to be successful with it fallov
must be plowed deep, early and mus
be kept clean" says Prof. Hyslop.

Many Clues but No Criminals
Found BY Posses on Man Hunt

Many clues have been run to earth
by the posses now securing every
nook and Granny in the hills and
mountains back OF Pendleton, but ac-
cording to recent telephone commu-
nication with the East Oregonian,
they have come to naught. Five OF
the six criminals from the Umatilla
county Jail. and one of them the muir
derer of Til D. Taylor, are still al
large. A rumor reached Heppner on
Wednesday evening that member OF
one of the posses had been shot by
one of his own party through mis-
take. There was nothing to this ru-
NOR. The posses are now well organ
lied and the public may rest assured
that favorable reports will come In
from some section before many more
hours pass by.

Good Forty-Fold Seed in Sight.

After a very extended trip over
Morrow county covering probably
$50 miles on the road through the
district where forty-fold is grown,
the County Agent in company with
Professor Hyslop of Corvallis visited
many fields Of forty-fold which will
approach 80 bushels per acre this
year. 1t is very probable that the
heaviest yields of grain will be in the
south part of the county this season.
At least some Of the very best will
undoubtedly be in the Gooseberry Sec
ton. The fields were all remarkably
similar in the fact that as is gener-
ally understood there was a tremen-
dous lot OF moisture. Nearly all Of
the forty fold in the county will be
graded down because Of the mixed
grain 1t contains. An effort will be
made to assemble enough orders for
a car load of pure seed wheat of forty
fold variety this season. The Profes-
sor visited and made calculations on
some Of the fields (which were seeded
from seed shipped in from Union
county last year and found these to
be remarkably free from mixture near
Condor. Arrangements have been
made to buy this delivered at the cars
for five cents above the market price
for ordinary forty-fold. The supply
Of this wheat will be decidedly limit
ed and the demand quite large. Any
one interested should Immediately
make their wants known and take
the matter up with the County Agent
at once. A sample Of this wheat
grown in the field is to be seen at the
office and anyone interested may find
the same on application.

ing what might happen. Asked as to
her intense interest she replied, with
eyes sparkling. Why don't you know

later and get back where the SUI
shines. Only Mary and 0da wer
brave enough to wait for the sun t
shine at Newport, We had yer,
pleasant weather the rest of tn
week and enjoyed a number of hike

Where the sagebrush scents the air,
Where the savage clouds bursting
Make you think of your evening
prayer
| want to go back to Heppner,
Where the hand-clasp's free and true
Where the friends you meet are
smiling,
And they say halo" to you.

Where the hills are pink with bloom
and their towering forms all gree
you,
And drive away the gloom.

Just to meet the friends of old
The friends who are worth retain
ing
The friends who are good as gold.
Then l think, why go back to Hepp

To see those friends so dear?
For they've come to the city of Port
land,
And are scattered far and near.
So we're meeting today in Portland
Good friends from the bunchgras
town,
To renew our pleasant acquaintance
With never a tear nor a frown.
We remember, when In Heppner,
Some struggles and hardships too,
But these struggles strengthened ou
friendship
That friendship 'twixt me and you.
So our memory goes back to Hepp
ner,
Where the hills are high and bold,
And like sentinels mute they remin,
OF friendships that never grow cold
