stood, Lexington Farmer Adds to Com
munication of Last Week.-No Desire
to Be Taken for Knoeker.

Lexington, July 17.-Editor Gazette
Times; My attention having been called
to the fact that parts of my report on
the annual meeting of the Wheat Grow
ers association. published in your paper
of last week, might be misconstrued, and
considered disparagement on the prin-
eiples Of the association, l wish to ex-
plain more fully some things which
might lead some who have not gone
deeply into its principles to feel that
am knocking
The loss at Condor mentioned mere
ly as an item Of the report, it never hav-
ing occurred to me that others might
consider the loss due to lack of judg-
ment on the part of the board instead
of an unforeseen accident until suggest
ed to me by Mr.. C. A. Barnes, who, by
the way, is our very able and efficient
fieldman.
In regard to the item concerning Mr..
Nelson, he was chosen as Sales Manager
at, believe, $4,000 per year.

Who Deface Road Signs


Persons who deface road, trail and
other signs posted by the Umatilla Ma
tional Forest service for the convenience
Of campers, tourists and other forest
users, as well as forest officers, are to be
prosecuted, according to announcement
made by J. I. kuhns, supervisor.
Mr.. Kuhns announced that Ellis Nc
Coy, j. b. Mccoy, John Schmidt and
Cleve McNeai, all of Stanfeld, and W.
G. Miller and c. Z. Lawrence of Pendle-
ton, have been reported to him as hav-
ing defaced signs. Action is to be taken
at once.
In giving the names, Mr.. Kuhns said :
1T is felt that If people are SO keenly
interested in having their names posted
Tor the beneht OF the public that listing
them In the newspapers as violators OF
federal regulation would serve their
purpose equally as well as placing their
names on forest service signboards.
despite the fact that signs are
public benetit large number have been
defaced or destroyed thoughtlessly or
mallciously by travellers, Forest officers
are empowered to arrest without war
rant anyone committing any form of
trespass, including mutilation of signs.

Dan Barlow Is Hurt
In Handling Wild Horse

Dan Barlow attended the VIM. Hen
dirk sale on Saturday and purchased a
few head of the young horses up for
sale. He took the animals home and
on Sunday prepared to put his brand
on them. He had one of the unbroke
mustangs in the barn at his place on
Rhea creek, attempting to get him in
shape for the branding iron, when the
brute reared back and fell on Mr.. Bar
low, pinning him to the manger. One
leg was quite badly mashed and bruis-
ed while the other received cuts and
scratches. He was brought to town at
once and it was found that no bones
were broken, and under proper treat
ment by his physician, he was able to
return home on Tuesday.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Here was young Jim Jones just went
into his back garden to see how his
grape vines were coming along, and ev-
cry one of them was dead-not leaf in
sight. He was sure he had doped the
whole thing out so he would have a
wonderful grape juice crop this year
He got the finest vines, planted them
with the greatest care, and then gave
them dose of manure he was sure
would make them come up great. In the
winter months he dug around them, and
gave them more manure to keep them
going through the cold spell. Burned
up remarked old Jake when he saw
them. "Aint nothin' better'n manure
but too much kills. Plants are like hui
mans. Grapes most of all-grow best
when they have to fight, and don't get
rich food too easy"

TABLE MANNERS.

A Texas father was dining with his
son in Texas hotel, and in the course
of dinner the son got into an argument
with a cowboy. The cowboy called the
son an offensive name, and the young
fellow grabbed his knife in his fist and
started around the table to be avenged.
But his father seized him by the coat
tails.
"Ain't ye got no table manners9" the
old man hissed.
"But, pop, We heered what he called
me, didn't YEP"
"Yes, heered all right, but that ain't
no ground for yer forgettin' yer table
manners. Put down that there knife
and 60 at him with yer fork."-Delinea-
tor.

The First 1922 Wheat.

Dwight Misner is credited with deliv-
ering the first 1922 wheat at a local
warehouse. Delivery was made last
Monday and was of Turkey Red variety.
1t showed slight effects of the late hot
wind but tested IS pounds per bushel
with likelihood of increasing as the cut
gets farther infeld. The yield promises
to be but little, il any, under the average
yield.
Many ranchers began harvesting this
week, and in few days the work will
be going full blast. The prospects
throughout the county, except for a
strip in the western portion, is said to
look very promising.-Ione Independent.

WATER HIGHEST
IN TOWN CREEK
lN1NENTY YEARS
Rises To Within 13 Inches OF
Boilers In Pumping Station
After Downpour

The highest water since 1902,
when the flood extinguished the wa
ter in the boilers at the city pumping
station beside Town creek, just west
OF North Lee street, was reported
from the pumping station this fore
noon, following an all-night rain,
which continued intermittently
through the forenoon. During the
early part of the day the water was
within 13 inches of the boiler room
Of the pumping station, was running
eight. inches deep over the concrete
bridge on North Lee street, and was
so deep over the road south of the
bridge that traffic was abandoned.
Later in the day the flood was slow
fy subsiding. Other streams also
were high.
Wednesdays rain totalled "a
inches, large proportion of it fall
ing in torrent lasting about an hour
starting at l o'clock. This was fol-
lowed by steady downpour all
night, amounting TO more than an
inch additional, it was estimated.
j. M. Bryan, local weather observ-
er, reported today that the rainfall
during May up to last night totalled
inches. To this was to be added
the rainfall registered during the
night, which he had not reported. He
stated that the total rainfall for the
year thus far since January l is now
equal to the normal fall for 7 1-2
months. The significance of this
may be gathered when it is recollect-
ed that for a period Of about six
weeks, including practically all Of
the month of April, scarcely any rain
fell here.
The excessive recent rainfall has
interfered greatly with farm work
and damaged early peaches. THIS
damage, however, has been minimized
by the fact that the early dry period
permitted the farmers to get their
field crops well started and cleanly
cultivated, so that they have not yet
been seriously hurt. Cotton is in
good condition, but corn is reported
to be needing cultivation badly in
many places to check the grass and
weeds
