During the 1930 sea son over 1550 different plantings were inspected and growers required to put on spray. No worms were found In any cherries shipped and only one small infestation was dis covered in the county, the wormy cherries being destroyed. Union coun ty Is now almost a free district. Plans for control for 1031 Include the same general inspection and spray requirements as last year. If no fruit worms shbw up this year, this county will be in a position to request the removal of the existing quarantine. Farm Bulletin.

Oh the following day, six carloads of Bache lor Girls of the Pendleton High school picnicked at the Cove swim mlng pool. Look to South , For Outlet For Oregon Lambs With" Its own lamb crop out of the way, California Is now ready to take Oregon lambs, says H.-A. Llndgren, livestock specialist of the Oregon Ex tension service, Here, as well as in other coast markets, however, the discrimination in favor of milk fat lambs is becoming increasingly keen, he says. The present and future of the lamb business is built on production of a quality product, and the grower who heeds this fact is the one who will make money, Llndgren says. The market pays top .price for a lamb weighing about 65 to 80 pounds and those falling much below or above this figure suffer the penalty of a lower price. Llndgren advises Oregon growers to market their Iambs as early as they can be brought to the proper condition, but to sort them care fully so that only the fat ones are sold. Extra grain In creeps for lambs with ewes wiH help greatly In bring ing some of the thin ones to the re quired weight, he says. By such practices, experienced growers are able to manage so that as many as 80 per cent of their lamb crop sell at top price. The practice of marketing the lamb crop cooperatively through pooling shipments gathered from the flocks in a community or county, usually under the supervision of the county agent. Is an aid to growers In getting their lambs to market as soon as they are ready. This method Is now used to greater or less extent In Douglas, Coos, Union, Wallowa and Baker counties. The pooling of 62 cars for 103 growers In Union county last year brought them approximately 9&.056 more than they would have re ceived by selling through customary channels, Llndgren says. Of these 62 cars, the 22 which were graded brought the owners an average of 97.04 per 100 pounds, while the owners of the lambs in the ungraded cars received a net price of 95 per 100 pounds. Meetings Postponed Because of the prevalence of sick ness at the present time at Cove, the meetings of the Ladies Guild will be postponed for a time. Is Valedictorian Miss Madelene Oliver of Dry creek was the valedictorian of her class at the graduation exercises of the Imbler High school,, held Wednesday evening, at Wade hall. Inasmuch as that day was also her mother, Mrs. Burt Oliver's birthday, we think Madelene gave her mother a fine birthday gift, don't you? Madelene hopes to be able to take nurse train ing in the near future and we be lleve she will make a good nurse. LIVESTOCK SHOW CLASSIFICATION LIST PUBLISHED The official classification lists of the Twenty-third Annual Livestock show have been distributed. It is quite a pretentious catalogue of 120 pages, a careful examination , of wmcn is quite convincing mat ims year's show stands, to rank well with its predecessors, and that those who have the arrangements In hand have thus far done a good piece of work. for this "the oldest livestock show In the great Northwest."

With Herbert Chandler, of Baker, nationally famous as a breeder of Hereford cattle, president of the association this year, 'there seems to bo an unusual interest displayed on the part of Baker and Baker county people.
