Hoke was county agent there, and
its rise in popular esteem has been
rapid.
Farmers of Prescott, Washington,

of Turkey Red wheat this fall, and
they plan to get two carloads of GER
titled seed from Umatilla county.

Finch Home To-
tally Destroyed

The jhomel of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Finch was completely destroyed by
fire Tuesday morning. The alarm
was given at four o'clock, and by
the time the fire-fighting apparatus
was on the scene, the entire building
was enveloped in flames, and the
attention of the hoseman was directed
to saving the Hutt garage, across the
street. \
The Contents of the house were
sonsumed by the fiery element, Mrs.
Finch and children escaping with
what clothin, hey could put their
hands on as tae. IN from the burn
ing house.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
where Mr.. Finch, who drives the coun-
try meat delivery wagon, had kindled
a fire in the range at three o'clock
and prepared his breakfast, the other
members Of the family remaining in
their beds.
After his departure, Ralph Car
tens, the little son of Mrs. Finch, was
awakened by the fire and aroused the
other members of the family. They
barely had time to get from the house
into the street, without being injured.
The loss is estimated at $500 on
building and contents, covered by
$1,000 insurance.

SEED POTATO INSPECTION
BEGINS ON THE MOUNTAIN

According to figures in the pos
session of Fred Bennion, county
agent, the potato acreage on Weston
mountain for which the growers seek
certification is more than double that
of last year. Last year potatoes
grown on 219 acres were examined
the. first time for certifcation. This
years total will be more than 500
acres.
The preliminary examination is be-
ing made this week by Mr.. Bennion
and his assistant, and the first
official field inspection will be made
next week on the mountain when E.
R. Jackman, crop specialist of 0. A.
c., will be here to look over the
fields.
Two varieties of seed are grown on
the mountain, chief attention being
paid to Melted Gems. This year
growers have planted some Earliest
of All. Fifty-six growers will make
application to have their seed certi-
led, paying a fee Of one dollar. Last
year this service was free.
Due to the fact that a majority Of
the growers planted seed that was
either certified last year or at least
passed one field inspection, it is ex-
pected that a greater percentage Of
the acreage will be certified. Last
year only 90h acres "made the
grade" of the 219 acres inspected.

S105 EACH YEAR
FROM ONE ACRE OF SPUDS

A story of unusual soil fertility
comes from Arthur March, whose
place is one-half mile south of the
Tamarack school house on Weston
mountain. He has grown spuds,
Rural New Workers, on the same
acre Of ground for six years, and
has averaged $105 in returns from
this acre each year. The tract is
again in potatoes. Two years ago
he sent nine spuds to Pendleton
which weighed 81 pounds. If there
is any disease in the patch he does
not know it. His spuds are keeping
without sprout, and when taken
from the pit at this time look like
new ones of this seasons growth.
They were frosted early last season,
however, and are not large. He has
some of the 1920 crop on hand
which are still edible. Mr.. March
says that he has raised three crops
from one plowing; in other words, he
plowed the land but once in three
years. His potatoes are pitted
where the shade is very dense, and
the soil is of the tamarack variety,
very red and very light. At present
the moisture is within an inch Of
the top in his potato patch. His
place is the farthest back on the
mountain Of any on which potatoes
are grown,

Fire Eats Up 900
Acre Wheat Field

The first destructive grain fire of
the season occurred Monday afternoon
on the Perringer ranch Northwest of
Adams, when between 300 and 900
acres Of ripened grain was burned.
The fire started from a tractor. The
East Oregonian reports the loss at
$35, 1000.
The fire started from the tractor, it
is thought, and was apparently fairly
well under control when it got new
start and then raced away until the
greater part of the field was de-
stroyed. The grain covered 1925
acres of land and was certified Jen-
kins club.
The loss will be kept down to a
certain extent by reason of the fact
that some of the wheat had already
been hauled into the warehouse. There
will also be some salvage which will
cut down the total loss. The grain is
said to have been yielding at the rate
of about as bushels to the acre.

STANFIELD GRILLED FOR HIS PROLONGED
ABSENCE FROM SESSIONS OF THE SENATE

The Washington bureau of the
Portland Journal. had this out on
Eastern Oregon's republican states.
man, Senator Stanfield:
Senator Robert N. Stanfield of Ore
gon was on hand in the senate today
when debate opened on wool sched-
ule Of the tariff bill, in which he is
prepared to line up with Senator
Gooding Of Idaho in support of the
proposed wool rates.
The return of Oregon's junior sena-
tor, who has been absent continuously
since April l, attracted considerable
attention from his colleagues, who
have been debating the tariff since
April 20.
Robert N. Stanfield is SO per cent
senator, if he be rated according to
his attendance upon the sessions of
the senate since the present session
began last December. His period
Of absence, dating from April /
is believed to be reeord breaker
for a senator in good health and In
full possession Of his faculties.
Now and then senators have gone
to Europe to study conditions abroad,
and occasionally one takes pleasure
trip, as Senator Weller. Of Maryland,
has done in going to Japan with the
DENLY party. II cal, &c seid for We'll
Ter, however, that his trip is en-
broidered with an official fringe, for
1t is stamped as visit of courtesy
to Japan, and Weller was president
Of the naval academy class which had
certain distinguished japanese admi-
rails among it's members. These for
eign trips have not equalled STAN
fields in length.
The Stanfield cruise, however, lacks
any official flavor, and is unique
among senatorial voyages, because he
did not spend the shining hours, or
more than few of them, in his home
state. This adds to the wonder OF
his colleagues, who of course do not
wish to talk for publication, but pri-
vately express astonishment over his
long absence.
The present session Of congress
opened on December and Senator
Stanfield appeared the next day. Ad-
iournment was taken for the holidays
on December 23. Sessions were re-
sumed January 8, and have been con-
tinuous since that time, except Sun
days and holidays. Disregarding the
Sundays and holidays, 221 days have
elapsed since congress begain its
work, and Stanfield has been in the
city liz days.
This does not furnish an exact
chronicle Of his attendance upon the
sessions of the senate, however, as he
did not attend the sessions for days
at time while he was in Washing
ton. An inspection of the roll cal
during the early part of the yeal
shows he was frequently absent.
During the first session Of the pres
ent congress, which began with az
axtra session on April II, 1921, Mr.
Stanfield registered four periods o.
absence. He was away from June L
to July II, August 1S to August "a
September 81 to October 10, and No
vember 6 to November %. Congress
was in session from April II to Au
gust "a and again from September z
to November %.
During his present period OF ap
sence there have been numerous falls
alarms over his reported intention t
return. He has been expected a
various dates, but the dates haV
passed and later information shove
he was still at Weiser, his major sea
of operations.
