! expression by a vote OF forty-six
members Friday. This vote indef-

GRAFTON of memorial resolution
introduced by Representative J. d.
Lee of Multncmah county. asking
congress to submit to the people of
the United States an amendment
extending the presidential term to
a period of eight years. Lee made
extended argument for the pro-

CROP CONDITIONS. IN EMMONs
COUNTY
,7hrashing Operations Will. Not Last
Long. Rain Needed to Put Soil
in Shape for Spring Flowing.

From all parts of the county come
reports that thrashing operations will
be short and sweet this year. Yields
are extremely poor, and thrashing rigs
are operating at so much per hour
rather than charging by the bushel.
Much grain has not been cut at all,
while the average wheat yield for the
county will probably not exceed three
bushels.
While crop conditions are bad all
over the county, reports indicate that
some neighborhoods are much better
off than others. Around Hazelton,
the crop is almost total failure,
probably not averaging two bushels
to the acre of wheat. Towards Brad
dock and Kintyre, conditions are just
a little better. Perhaps the best
best crops in the county are patches
in the Dale neigbohood. Some wheat
is said to have gone from five to
seven bushels there. Around Linton
and Strasburg, there is very little.
Several Linton people have crops in
west of the river, and they report good
yields.
There are a number of fairly good
winter rye crops in the county. Corn
is nothing extra, although good for
sileage. Some farmers report cutting
a little wheat for the chickens to
pick over, and letting the rest stand.
No worse season has been known
locally, 1910 being somewhat the
same.
