Mr.. Baratt Makes 1900
Mile Tour Of Highways

Commissioner W. B. Barratt and
family returned on Thursday last
from their vacation trip, the com
missioner taking his family along
with him on a journey Of both pleas
ure and business. He had been over
a large portion of the state highways
in company with Commissioners
Booth and Yeon in the early part Of
July, but there were yet many other
miles of the roads coming under the
jurisdiction of the state highway de-
partment that he had not visited and
he took time to do so while his fam
lily were desiring their summer out
ing. In the trip Mr.. Barratt covered
something like 1900 miles, going from
Heppner to Condor, then to Fossil
Prineville, Redmond, Bend, Crater
Lake, the Pacific highway and part OF
the Roosevelt highway that took him
nearly to the California line, and
then back to Portland, where he at
tended the August meeting of the
commission last week. He desired to
make a visit to the Mckenzie high
way also, but was prevented from do
Ing this on account of construction
work by the government and the road
Is closed to the public.
In the main Mr.. Barratt found good
roads to travel on and he encountered
much construction work. The trip
gives him lot of knowledge he de.
sired touching the roads that he had
not yet been over, and the outing was
greatly enjoyed by himself and fam

Those Were History
Making Days on Range

There are many yet residing in
Heppner who doubtlessly recall the
excitement created here when the re-
port of the battle, as related to the
editor of the column under the head
ing of "Those Who Come and Go" in
the 0regonian, reached our city. The
incident occurred in the history-mak-
ing days of the range in Grant coun-
ty, when trouble between cattlemen
and sheepmen was of more common
occurrence than it has been for sew
eral years past. The oregonian ac-
count is as follows:
One of the most exciting battles
between cattlemen and sheepmen in
eastern Oregon centered around
about 5000 sheep owned by Emmet
Cochran, who is registered at the
Imperial from Heppner. 1t was years
ago that the battle was staged, but
the old-timers still talk about it when
discussing range wars. Cochran want
ed to move his bands across the range
into the Malheur country and the cat
tlemen objected because they consid-
cred that the sheep would destroy the
range. Cochran picked out couple
of good men to accompany him, fell
lows who knew how to handle gun,
and started. All went well for awhile
until one day Cochran heard couple
of rifle shots. A band of 12 cattle
men were bushwhacking Cochran and
his two herders. Cochran shot at one
of the attacking party putting bull
let through the hand that was hold
ing rife, and the bullet smashed
| the rife in two. One of the herders
took a shot at head cautiously peer
| ing behind tree and almost blew the
brains out. The third herder, refus-
| ing to seek shelter of the rocks, stood
in the open and blazed away. The
battle was hot while it lasted and re-
suited in the three sheepmen routing
the dozen cattlemen. After this Coch-
ran went to Canyon City and friends
advised him to get out. "The only
way they'll get me out is feet first"
replied Cochran.

Mr.. Mason Will Raise
Seed Wheat Exclusively

Frank Mason, who farms out west
Of Lexington, has concluded to de-
vote his time hereafter to the produc-
ton Of seed wheat, and to that end
will seed 400 acres of prime summer
fallow to a clean strain Of Turkey
red this fall. He expects to begin
seeding just as soon as a good rain
comes, though he is convinced that
the greater portion of his summerfal-
low is in shape to receive the seed
right now. Mr.. Mason disposed Of
the most of his grain raised this sea-
son for seed and states that he could
have disposed of hundreds Of sacks
more had he produced the grain. He
is devoting his energies to producing
Turkey red as there Is strong de-
mand for this class OF wheat in Nor
row county. He is gaining reputa-
tion for producing good, clean seed
wheat of straight varieties, and the
demand Is strong here for certified
seed grain.

PROF. HYSL0P TELLS
OF DRY TREATMENT
Dry Treatment Of Seed Wheat for
Smut Given Further Recommended
tion by Professor G. r. Hyslop Of
the Oregon Agricultural College.

We have promised Morrow county
farmers the latest dope on the dry
treatment of wheat and In addition
TO the favorable results obtained In
the experiments last year they will
be just as interested in what author
tiles think Of it or how they inter-
pret the results of last year.
D. z. Stephens Of Moro is enthus-
iastie about it and thinks it safe II

give Just as good smut control and q
very much better stand.
C. E. Hill Of the Waterville station
in Washington is strong for It when
it is used properly, their results hav-
ing been most promising.
The county agent wrote Professor
Hyslop Of the Farm Crops department
at Corvallis early last month bat a
reply was delayed owing to Profess
sor Hyslop's absence from the Office
on grain certifcation work. His re-
ply will be Of interest to Morrow
county farmers inasmuch as he is one
Of the ablest grain authorities in the
state and is held in high esteem by
our farmers-it reads:
"Dear Mr.. Calkins: In reply to
yours of August 4th l wish to say
that it came during my rather ex-
tended absence on certifcation work.
too, have reviewed the results of
the copper carbonate treatment and
believe that it is well worth eneour-
aging as extensively as is consistent
with the supply of copper carbonate
dust that can be secured at prices
within reason. There are three points
that | would emphasize in connection
with it:
"1. That wheat that is excessively
smutty should not be given the cop
per carbonate treatment Ut should
not be used anyway
"2. That it should be thoroughly
treated with some sort of busting
machine that will get it completely
coated without the operator having to
breathe the copper carbonate dust.
"3. That farmers be cautioned not
to SOW too much seed as they will GER
tainly get their stands thick and this
will be especially true in the dry
part of Morrow county. ! would ad-
wise good careful treatment with cop
per carbonate with the rate Of seed
ing cut down 25 to 30 per cent
"Very truly,
&c. R. HYSL0P."
| 1t is evident that the amount that
will be seeded with copper carbonate
treated wheat in Morrow county this
| fall will be the amount of copper car
Donate dust we can locate and the
ability of Gillian and Bisbee to make
dusting machines. After the supply
of copper carbonate now on hand Is
exhausted we are not sure that it can
be replenished but can take care of
your needs now. 1t is evident that
enough wheat would be saved to pay
for powder and method Of treating
even though the rate Of seeding was
reduced only Is per cent.

the question OF fixing a style Of dress or gown

a politician is very MUCK below par.

Newberry has caused crashing of teeth in the

political sense and are now ready to wipe out the
adjective For Hughes by his defense. has once
more made Newberryism an issue in every state
where a senator OF Republican faith is a candidate

opinion.
