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.

Seed raising Is done by specialists.
These men are gardeners who devote

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.

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. X have In mind that method
which provides a oament container

A GRANDE RONDE VALLEY1 HOME
The above Is a picture of the country home of P. O. PottraUE,
mlit-wuy between Pleasant Urote and Suiniuervllle. The home Is
one ot tho attractive ones In tlmt section or the valley; It vms
the former Home of the late W, A. 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. This Is SO per cent
more than the low point of 10 years
ago, and 2 per oent more than a yoar
ago. The number of old ewes was
larger but of young ewes constat
erably smaller, than a year ago.

4-H Club
Notes . .
At the exhibition of art held last
Friday by the pupils of the Valeria
school, tho 4-H club work' was ex
hibited also, and It was a very excel
lent display. The -members of this
club, having completed their year's
work; are anxiously waiting for'thoif
achievement pins. Mrs. Zllpha Howoll,
teacher of the school, is tho local
leader of this club.
.
Prom tho Enterprise paper, wlearn
that 25 boys and girls clubs will be in
operation ln that county this year as
a result, of the organization work
done recently by their county agent,
N. C. Donaldson, assisted by Leonard
J. Allen, assistant state club leader,
and Miss Helen Oowglll, also state as
sistant leader who Is ln charge of the
girls' clubB. Their plan was to or
ganize tho clubs, ln domestic arts for
girls and in farm or garden projects
for the boys, in the spring and con
tinue them through to the county
and state fair time ln the fall. Each
olub member has a project on which
ho keeps a detailed record, showing
all tho expenses and receipts, so the
club work gives practical and well-
rounded experience,
. A very neat exhibition of sewing
done by the 4-H club members of
Mrs. Sid vaden's eighth grade girls
was shown In their room ln tho high
