Saturday, May 14, 1932 LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. Page Three ' OVER Phone: Mornings, Mala 600 Art Exhibit At Valeria It was such an interesting exhibit held last Friday at the Valeria school, where Mrs. Zllpha Howell is the teacher. And the exhibit was viewed and the program ot the after-, i noon enjoyed by many friends and 1 parents of the pupils. The exhibit consisted mostly of original work, each child taking the initiative In carrying out his project. There was much designing, poster and panel work, construction of boxes, baskets and animals and brilliant pictures of the industries of different lands. The sand table held a scene "The Orange Industry" made by the primary grades. The fifth grade constructed a miniature arrangement of Mount Ver non, together with the surrounding grounds. A history project completed by the sixth graders consisted of a Viking ship, modeled of clay, and col ored with the proper coloring. Trans parent pictures representing children of foreign lands hung in the windows and these, together with lanterns, Way baskets and trimmings made a very decorative feature. County sup erintendent of schools, E. A.. Sayre, was present on this occasion and gave the Valeria, children an interesting talk on China, as the children are studying China at this time. It was .a very successful afternoon but then the '.'afternoons" at Valeria seem to be invariably successful. Guests Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kennedy, of Medical Springs, have as their house guests at present their relatives, Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Petersen, of Astoria. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Petersen are sistcrB. . Mr; Peterson has not been well recently, and. it was thought this higher altitude might prove to bo bon-3flcial to him. Engagement Announced The announcement of the engage ment of Miss UUy Nordgron and Flovo M. Edwards Is of especial interest to , the many friends of Mr. Edwards in Union county. The announcement was made at a bridge party given last week in Corvallls and was . attended by a group of women associated with the bride-elect on the faculty of the Oregon State college, and some rela tives. Mr. Edwards made many friends In this locality during the years when he was stationed at the Eastern Ore gon Experiment station, having charge of one of the departments of livestock. It la stated that the wed ding will be an event of early sum mer. Mr. Edwards Is now stationed at Albany.

I era. : The best sweet pea seed In the world are-raised at Iompoo, Cal After a crop of seed has been raised and cured, the seed find their way Into the hands of distributors. The method in which they aro tested In the distributors1 plants is Interesting. Some of the larger seed companies handle from 3,000 to 5,000 different kinds and grades. Before they can be put on the market they must be tested for germination quality and to determine whethef they are true to type. . Bradley has a special germtnator in which seed are submitted to moisture and induced to sprout. The seed are wrapped In blotters, about 60 to each blotter, and placed In the germmator where the warm, moist air soon causes them to show sighs of life. Periodically they are Inspected and a note made on the blotter of the num ber sprouted. In this way can be de termined the germination qualities of each -lot of seed received. Another quality of seed from the same lot Is planted In pots. The plants which grow from thes-a seed are ob served for their "true to type" quali ties. "Frequently," Bradley says, "pollen from another type plant of the same species finds Its way to the seed grower's lot. This pollen fertilises his plants and the resulting seed from his crop will produce a flower or fruit with mixed characteristics of both plants. This Is often observed In corn the ear bears both white and yellow kernels." After the seed Is tested for its pro ductlon qualities, It Is then weighed and packed for distribution. This pro cess Is almost entirely mechanical. A delicate scales that will divide a Jf ' seeasman aewrmmes irom !ha J?08 ? thVT8 Jus'howny h? shW 'f0 ln a to pay thls scales into the required number of packages. Then another machine Is brought into play. It has a die which holds Just' enough seed to make up the weight determined on the scales. Seeds aro fed into a hopper above tho machine and from then on fill ing, closing and sealing of the pack ages is automatic,-- The amount of seed in each package does not vary more than 10 per cent above or below the set standard previously determin ed. These machines can turn out 30,000 packages of seed in an eight hour day and large seed houses turn out from 160,000 to 240,000 a day during tho rush season. Sheep Outlook Is Given At the close of 1031, the farm prlco of sheep in Oregon was about one half of .the average In Docember from 1020 to 1030. On Dec. 16, wool was down to 45 per cent and lambs 41 per cent of the average for that come, "Industrial payrolls were grow ing larger and tho physical volume Of production In Oregon Increased about four per cent a year." This period of Inoreaslng form in come was brought to an end abruptly two years ago, according to the re port, although production continued to Increase ln 1930 and fell oft only moderately ln 1931.; The situation is Illustrated by a chart ln the olr culor which shows that farm Income in Oregon dropped from 109 per cent or the 1028-30 average for tne 1020 output to 84 por cent for tho 1930 products, and to about 65 per cent for the 1931 production. Tho de .cllno In factory payrolls was only slightly less severe. In considering the 1933 farm In. cono outlook, the statement says that crop conditions are more prom ising now than a year ago, which might boost production somewhat, but "improvement in Oregon's cash farm Income dopends largely upon higher farm prices." The Index of factory payrolls ln fobrunry was only 62f per cent of tho 1023-25 avornge, or approximately one-half as' much as fromi 1025 to 1029. This situation has caused weak demand and low purchasing power for farm products. Taking account of minor prod ucts not Included ln. the govern ment estimates, the average value of crops and livestock sold from Ore gon's farms from 1926 to 1030 was placed at S124.000.000. In addition It wns ostlmatcd that the value of farm- products used for food In the farm homes was $12,000,000 to 915, 000,000 not Including the valuo of crops UBed for feed and seed on tho farms. Methods For Treating Hog Parasites - "The oil spray treatment Is perhaps iho most common method of treating stfino affected with biting lice. Any kind of crude oil will kill these para sites," states Dean E. E. Wagner of the Washington State college' division of veterinary medicine. "The hog oiling post Is also- of val ue. It consists briefly of a post around which has been wrAppcd a number of layers of padding material and on which has been poured crank -case oil ln sufficient quantity to moisten the packing on the post. Hogs will come to this spot and rub against the oily object and treat thomselvos to some extent. By this method they are able to- keop down the number of parasites considerably. "Another method that to often rec ommended Is tha wallow method. By this I do not mean tho old mud wa low. which Is a menses to the health of all animals and should be elimin ated from the hog production pro gram.

Maker and Mrs. Baker, promin ent valley residents prior to their passing. mhnth from 1038 to 1030. Por tho whole country In per cent of the 1010 to 1814 average, sheep were 65. lambs 71 and wool 72. The demand tor lamri has not de clined as much as the demand tor other meats. Although some Im provement might come with better business conditions, It Is also prob able that lambs will meet more com petition from other meats because of larger supplies. Wool prices have been declining almost continuously since 1028 with recoveries short-lived. World wool production has been heavy for sev eral years. Import requirements for this country have declined with In creased produotlon here, and are now so small that any further decline ln demand without a corresponding do orcase In production would limit the effectiveness of tho tariff. Low prices for lambs and wool, however, together with unfavorable climate, feed, and credit conditions ln the wostorn range sheep country may start tho sheop production cyole downward for tne country's record pook of 83,912,000 head foached on Jan. 1, 1032.
