Yes, We Had
Some Rain

The weather man has been most
kind to Morrow county this Fall SC
far as the supply of moisture is con-
eerned. This is not an unmixed
blessing, A good many farmers are
going TO suner at least a small less
because Of damage to grain. We hope
that the weather will clear up soon
SO that this will not be too bad. How
ever, there are a lot Of advantages
that are coming with this storm: it
is settling the ground, it is starting
the weeds on the summerfallow. ano
making it possible with proper meth
DDS this fall TO insure not only clean
grain another year but also an even
stand of wheat, A few general cor
relaries for wheat farming this fall
may not be amiss.
Be sure to treat your seed.
Don't treat it too strong.
Don't sow too deep,
Don't SOW your summerfallow
Don't SOW mixed wheat if you a
possibly secure clean seed OF the va
riety you prefer.
Don't delay TO get the grain in as
soon as possible. The sooner in the
sooner up. A considerable amount of
grain this year was sowed in Sep
TENDER and is now up so that the
rows may be seer in the field. This
offers an exceptional promise for an
other year. There should be no SER
ious crusting in 1921. Many farmers
are predicting the greatest crop in
history for next harvest, but it is yet
a long way OFF.

John Day Irrigation District.

The John Day Irrigation District
was n Of the first major projects
started in Morrow county through the
efforts Of the farmers working with
the man who was then County Agent.
Mr.. F. r, Brown. Mr.. Brown has been
continually active with this project
ever since it started and We are glad
TO announce at the present time that
it is making splendid progress. The
field surveys are now being done. the
re-claSsifcation of the land is prac-
tically completed and there is a far
better and brighter prospect now of
its final completion than ever before.
With the Reclamation Bills now be-
fore Congress and the prospects Of
definite release of reclamation, there
is no reason to doubt that the
GREAT JOHN DAY PROJECT will
soon be a reality instead of a dream.
There are very few men in Morrow
county who have dreamed of the
John Day project for more than five
or six years, and these men we be-
lieve will live to see the realization of
their dreams of waving alfalfa fields
instead Of sage-brush.

New Methods Put New Land In
Cultivation In Morrow
County.

During the last three years more
that fifty thousand acres OF good till
able land which a few years ago had
been condemned as worthless is be-
ing put to the growing of good wheat
crops. In the early pioneer days or
the days of homesteading in Morrow
county this land was taken up and
decided to private parties, and be-
cause of the low price of wheat tat
that time wheat sold as low as IS
cents a bushel in Lexington and lionel
these farmers were compelled to OBJ
solutely leave their ranches, most of
them being taken over by what is
known as the Oregon Dakota Land
Company. This company loaned a
lot OF money on the lands in the
northern part of Morrow county, be-
ginning at what is called the base
line, which for a great many years
was called the dead line. Anyone
who had land north of this line was
supposed to be in that land where
only failure could be the reward of
hard toll. With wheat selling at
anything like those prices it is easy
to understand how these men could
not make expenses; could not even
continue to live. The land was de-
serted, the fences were torn down,
the bunch grass and weeds and sage
brush began to come back over this
land. During the last three years,
due to new methods of farming as
developed in Sherman county, these
lands are gradually going back into
crops. This is particularly due to the
Increased price of wheat, but more
largely to better methods of cultiya-
ton and proper variety.
In this territory, due to lightness

they claimed their inability to ship
more than 647 sacks. We had taken
the money for this in good faith
from many Of the farmers of the
county and they would have very
much preferred to have received their
wheat instead Of the money. How
ever, we bought all the Forty-Fold
wheat that was available in Condor
and were assured that there was none
available in sherman county, there
was no certified wheat in Union
county and We feel that there is
nothing to do but to SOW what we can
get and wait until next year to get

Forty-Fold Seed Wheat.

The shipment of Forty-Fold seed

rived but has been brought with diff
iculties and point TO dissatisfaction

We kept in touch from day to day per-
mitted us to act to our original order
and assured us that they would ship
us up to 1100 sacks. This was add

had every reason to believe the,

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In q very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural serv-
ice is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
part.
Recreation Is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reatienal problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened Standards
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as we'll as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

: On Sunday, Sept. 9Th, Rev.
Oscar E.. Feucht was installed as
pastor of the Wartburg Ev. Luth-
