f fund. .The local group, having been
" organized less than a year, was not
required to contribute to the na
v tioiml fellowship funjri, but Inas-.-
much as this is a very important
year in this organization and a spe
y clal effort is being made along the
line of fellowships, the La Grande
women under the inspiration of Mrs.
Zurbrick made a very liberal contri
bution. The A. A. U. W. encourages
t higher study, giving financial aid to
those who are seeking to do work
beyond their master's degree, and
i some very wonderful things in the
. line of research have been done by
those- receiving the fellowships. The
local branch, which will be a year

A Real Tragedy
Another of the tragedies of life
was enacted Tuesday morning at
Union when Mrs. Manning, elderly
and stooped, sat and watched the
flames destroy her home and all the
possessions that were dear to her.
She had arisen early to get break
fast for her son. In passing from
one room to another she dropped a
kerosene lamp that she was carrying.
The siren rang at 5:30, but the fire
had progressed so far that nothing
could be done excepting to keep It
from spreading to other buildings.
Only a small amount of bedding was
carried out and as far as . could be
learned no Insurance was carried.
Fiat Wins
A few weeks ago this column car
ried a story concerning the radio
program which was put on by a
certain group of Sigma PI Tau men
at the University of Oregon, with
Cleland Wallslnger of the valley as

Allcel Aid
The weather may have detained a

come showers of the afternoon, a
fine company of women gathered at
the home of Mrs. Everett Wallslnger
in the Valeria district where Mrs.
Wallslnger, Mrs. Herbert Speckhart,
Mrs. Harry Fisher and Miss Emma

Has Narrow scape
Miss Josephine Fisher of near
Cove has been very happy over the
purebred ewe lamb which she has
already adopted for her sheep club
project this year. The animal Is a
fine specimen of "lambhood" and
Josephine has been watching it
grow from day to day. But yester
day she had the score of her life
when the Jamb fell In a spring hole
and but for her early discovery of
the accident and her timely help the!
animal would have drowned. j

Do You Know
How To Pick
Best Steak?
Tho woman who "knows her beef
steak" keeps four factors in mind
when making a choice at her local
market, says A. W. Oliver, assistant
professor of animal husbandry, at
Oregon State college.
First, Professor Oliver says, she
will notice the distribution and
color of the fat in the beef. A beef
animal deposits its fat In the mus
cles as well1 as on the outside of the
corcass. This distribution of the fat
Is called marbling, and tends to
break down the connective tissue,
making the beef more tender. The
fat of beef animals is white and
flaky, while some of the dairy breeds
have very yellow fat.
Mrs. Housewife will also notice
the color of the meat, says Professor
Oliver. The most desirable color for
beef is light cherry red. Very young
animals will have light pink meat,
while the flesh of old animals is
dark red or bluish. Meat from a
thin animal Is also darker In color
than that from a fat one. Meat that
Is freshly cut Is generally darker In
color for 20 or 30 minutes.
Color of the bones Is also an im
portant Indication of the age of the
animal. Professor Oliver points out.
a rea coior in tne oones indicates
that the animal was still growing,
while the bones of a matured ani
mal are white and hard. Tho bones
in a desirable piece of meat will
generally show this red color.
Another point to be considered Is
the grain or texture of the meat.
Beef that has large, coarse fibers is
generally less tender than meat with
a fine, smooth velvety texture. This
Is well Illustrated, according to Pro
fessor Oliver, by a comparison of T
bone steak with a cut from the neck
region. The muscles of the neck are
used a great deal, and the fibers
will bo much longer and coarser
than those In a T-bone.

Imbler Boy
Wins U. P.
Scholarship
Exford Smith, prominent student
In the Imbler high school, was selected
as the member of the Future Farm
ers of America organization in Union
county to receive the Union Pacific
scholarship, offered to a boy In each
county in Oregon each year. The
award Is made because of some out
standing project in connection with
the courses In agriculture In hich
schools operating a Smith-Hughes
department. In this county, the
choice lay between Btudents from
two high schools. Union and Imbler,
Inasmuch as these are the only two
high schools carrying such a de
partment.
The decision was reached Monday,
when the committee In charge of
the matter, Robert Withycombe, su
perintendent of the Eastern Oregon
Experiment station, E. A, Sayre,
county superintendent of schools
and J. E. Reynolds of Island City
met in the superintendent's office
and examined very carefully the
records of the projects carried on by,
the Future Farmers. Exford had a1
poultry project last year and did a
very fine piece of work. Woodrow
Westenskow, also of Imbler was se
lected as alternate.' Boys receiving
honorable mention were Sheldon
Lloyd, Norvln Woodell, also of Im- I
Dier ana Merivn Landlord and Wen
dell Green of Union. There were 12 !
boys contesting this year, six from !
each of the two schools. I
The scholarship amounts to 6100
and must be used for somo course
in agriculture.
of that community. It will be re
membered that the Mormon con
gregation at Cove was absorbed by
the Union congregation some time
ago and since then the church has
been used only for occasional meet
ings of the Women's club. Also, it
will be remembered that the build
ing used for a Masonic hall was de
stroyed by fire a few months ago.
This new arrangement seems to be a
very happy one for all concerned.
Of course It will be some time before
all the alterations and additions
can be made, so those interested
tell us, but eventually it will make
a very comfortable Masonic hall for
Cove.
Receive New Books
According; to Mrs. Walter Pierce.
who has been sponsoring the project.
100 new books have been received
from the state library within the
last few days to be used at the
Island City library. Of these 50 are
children's books and 50 for adults.
The library, which is housed in one
of the Jasper buildings. Is open two
days a week, and is a project of the
Parent-Teacher association.
Locates Near Elgin
From the Elgin Recorder comes
this interesting item: Mr. Henry
Weatherspoon, nephew of Mr. H. H.
Weatherspoon, of Eleln. has been
moving his farming equipment onto
the place known as the Walt Hill
farm, consisting of 640 acres, which
is located about 6 miles northeast
of town. MJr. H. Weatherspoon was
formerly engaged In farming in
Baker county, near Halfway, and has
Deen quite successful. He will take
possession on the new location and
continue his farming operations. 'He

OREGON SPRING LAMBS
The early lamb crop of 1031 in
Oregon as a whole is somewhat
larger than the early crop of 1030
according to the March 1 report of
the Federal Crop Reporting service.
Weather conditions were exception
ally favorable for saving a large
percentage of lambs. Feed Is plenti
ful but rain is needed in some areas
to Insure spring feed.
In tho principal early lambing
states, the lamb crop Is larger than
that of last year. The condition of
the early lambs at the beginning of
March this year was better than at
that date In 1930, when a high con
dition was reported. Present indi
cations are for a larger market sup
ply of spring lambs than last year
for the three months April to June,
the quality of which will bo at least
as good as last year. A heavy mar
keting of grass fat yearlings and
wethers from Texas during these
months is also probable.
In Washington the early lamb
crop Is as large as last year. Weather
conditions during lambing very fa
vorable, grass has made a good start
and early range prospects are good.
The market movement may be earlier
than last year.
Idaho weather and feed conditions
from breeding time last fall through
January and February lambing have
been very favorable. The proportion
of ewes which lambed early was
probably smaller than last year.
Early lambs are in fine condition.
Because of lack of winter moisture
spring ranges are starting dry and.
unless ample rains come, spring feed
may be short, which will lower the

Recent Rains
Have Brought
Much Benefit
The generous rains which have
fallen In the vicinity of Wallowa,
'during the past week have been a
great help in removing the remain
ing portion of the snow which has
covered the ground there during the
past four and a half months, accord
ing to the report made within the
last few days by G. C. Meek of that
locality. The greater part of the frost
is said to have gone out of the
ground at this time and moisture
from the recent rains annd melting
snow has soaked the ground to a
good depth. Road conditions have
improved some recently even though
much rain has fallen, the ground has
settled quite rapidly and in all
piaces wnere tne side drain ditches
were cleaned last fall the roads have
drained off and become good quite
rapidly. Some cars are being used
on many of the dirt roads in Darts
of the hills.
Range conditions are rapidly get
ting good on the early pasture. On
much of this the snow has been
gone for the post two or three weeks
and with the grass having a fairly
good start last fall, the steady
growth at this time is making It
possible for some Btock to be put out
on fairly good feed.
Gastln & Cubs Ins and L. W. Minor.
each of whom has a band of sheep,
report that they are having to feed
but little hay at this time as the
sheep are able to act Dlentv of
green feed.
Reports from various farmers over
the community Btate that wherever
the winter wheat is bore that It is
green and growing nicely. In no in
stance has winter killing been no-
ucea. ine past winter appears to
have been an exceptionally favorable
one for vegetation to live through.
Such vegetation as rape and other
plants which are usually considered
only one year plants have come
through the winter in good shape
and are starting off growing nicely
at this time.
Many of the farmers of this sec
tion are still busy with lambing
operations. Bechtel & Crowley have
been busy recently lambing out their
band of some three hundred ewes at
the Bechtel farm a few miles east of
town. . Reports from the farm tho
last of tho week were to the effect
that many lambs were being lost
from some unknown cause. . At tho
start It Is stated that about 20 of
the first 30 lambs which came were
lost. Most of the others In this sec
tion report very good luck In saving
a large percentoBO of tho lambs.
Many of the lambs which came dur
ing the latter part of January and
early February have made an ex
cellent growth somo of them weigh
ing 36 ana 40 pounds at this time.
Pep and Step club of the Rebekah
lodge of that community was a
success from every point of view,
we are told, with something like 100
couples present, and In somo very
striking costumes. Wo were not
able to get the names or all tho
winners of prizes for costumes at
this writing but among them were
Mrs. Roy Morris and Ralph McKinnls.
Tho women eorved Borne excellent
refreshments during the evening.
The same group is arranging for an
apron and overall dance for April
3rd.

misfortune to lose ono of tho blue
foxes this week. The cause of the
animal's death was not learned. '

quality and delay the marketing of
this year's lambs.
In California the early lamb crop
this year Is larger than last year
due both to a larger number of
breeding ewes and to a larger per
centage of lambs being saved.
Weather conditions during lambing
were generally very good, but grass
was late In starting and it was not
until February that ample green feed
was generally available. About
March 1 feed conditions wero fairly
good, but rainfall to date -in tho
Sacramento valley Is short and favor
able molsturo and weather condi
tions during March and April will bo
needed to keep grass in good condi
tion. Conditions In the southern San
Joaquin valley have been much bet
ter this year than last and the
March and April lambs from this
area sshould be considerably better
than those of last year. The number
and quality of lambs for eastern
shipment and the time of shipment
will be determined largely by feed
conditions during the next two
months. Contracting of eorly lambs
to date has been very limited. j
In Arizona the number of Novem
ber and December lambs was smaller
this year than last, but the lambs
are In better condition than a year
ago. Feed on tho desert and foot
hills ranges, where the lambs will
be finished, is excellent. A heavy
movement of late lambs in June Is
probable as prospects for feed for
tho next few months are very good.
In Texas a very heavy spring mar
keting of grass fat sheep and year
lings Is in prospect. Winter feed
conditions have been very good and
prospects for spring feed are excel
lent. Sheep are In good condition
and will be fat early. Reports from
sheepmen show intentions to market
heavily this spring. Present condi
tions Indicate that a record spring
movement out of Texas this year Is
not Improbable. The early lambing
in Texas has been good and all
breeding flocks are in good condi
tion. Reporters' Comments
Northwest: (Willamette valley).
"The lambing season has Just be
gun In this locality and it is too
early to predict the Inmb cron. Th
I percentage of lambs that have come

ewes in fine shape and weather con

are for an exceptionally heavy lamb
crop this spring."
North Centrul: (Gilliam, Hood River,

"Lambing Is Just getting a good
start. No green feed In this part of
the state. Mild, dry winter means a
larger percentage of lambs saved
than normal but owing to drouth,
prospects for the future of these
lambs Is very uncertain. Unless we
get an excess of moisture from now
on, lambs will probably lack weight
to equal the Increase In numbers."

Jackson, Josephine counties).
"Early lambing has been very suc
cessful this year. It looks like a
100 per cent crop with very few
losses. Ewes are in better shape this
year than last. Grass has been suf
ficient to make feeding unnecessary.
Tho ewes are giving more milk this
year on grass than they did last
year on hay. Weather conditions have
been fine for lambing with much
fair weather and no cold rains.
There were many lambs kept over
last year because not fat enough to
market but this year there will not
bo many kept. All fit will be marketed."

"Lambing has not started yet in
this section. Most of the lambing
will begin In April. . Ewes are In
good shape and expect a good crop .
of lambs this season. Generally
range conditions are very poor as it
Is too dry, moisture being the low-
est I've ever seen. If we dont geb
more moisture this spring, grass wlu r
be very poor. Snow is about all gone ,
and no water from It. In Deschutes
county the range looks very promise
ing .If we get more moisture as grass ;
has a good start already. In this,
section there are less early lambs ,,
than last year owing' to the fact 1
that sheepmen didn't breed for early -lambing
as they were afraid of the '
feed supply but there will be an
Increase In the percentage of early , .
lambs saved owing to the mild win-!
ter and extra good condition of ewes.;
In Malheur county the present sea r
son to date was never better for '
early lambing but as a general rule
it looks as If there will be a mate
rial reduction In the number of J
ewes bred the fall of 1931."
