ONTARIO WINS HARD
GAME FROM WEISER
Idnlioans Unnlilo To Hold Plunging
"Linemen Work of Itcfcrco Wont
Seen Hero In Years Wclscr
Protests Local Player
Aided by Borne romarkablo decis
ions by Ilororoo Hawley, Wolsor
High was ablo to hold Coach John
T. Hughes O. II. S. team to a 7 to
0 scoro hero last Saturday after
noon. Flvo tlmos Ontario was with
In scoring distance In fact did act
ually scoro onco, only to bo robbod
of the ono touchdown and two othor
chances by penalties Imposod by
Hawley.
Ojio of Hawloy's decisions was bo
raw that tlio crowd "razzed" him
during tho romalndor of the game
So raw wns It that a numbor of
rooters who camo down from Vale
woru as mad as tho Ontario crowd,
niul wo will avor that Is positive
proof that Ilawloy was mlstakon.
Ilowovor Ilawloy Justified bis worst
decision by declaring that ho had
blown his whlstlo beforo Bhea who
picked up Maddux fumblo scooted
across tho lino. Even so, ho had no
buslnoss to blow that whlstlo, for
tho play wns not finished when ha
did.
In sovoral respects Ontario Just
outplnyod tho Wolsor visitors so far
that thoro was no comparison, that
wan In tho lino, nnd tho plunging of
Maddux, Ontario's big tackle, and
tho end work performed by Shah,
Ho and his tonni mate McCrolght
gavo tho host oxhlbltlon of end play
ing Ontario tins soon In yoars. So
hard did thoy tacklo and so suroly
woro thoy down undor punts that
Wulsor's safety was nallod -In his
tracks ovory tlmo.
Maddux was tho big round gatnor
for Ontario. Tlmo after tlmo he
plunend through tho liolo which
Dunton nnd Socoy oponod for him
and ofton reached tho. secondary do
rfonso yurds back of tho Una beforo
ha was stoppod. Ho It was who fin
ally, In tho third quarter plunged
over for tho only touchdovyi of tho
gnmo. Bhea kicked tho goal.
Doardsloy was tho ono man on
tho Wolsor team to show offonslvo
power. Ills 26 yard run and his
beautiful long forward pass In tho
first quarter woro tho outstanding
plays prasontod by Wolsor.
Aftor that ono long pass tho On
tario halts, playing defensively spoil
od nil but ono othor attompt and
thus dostroyod Wolsor'a offonso,
slnco tho visiting backs woro Impo
tent when It camo to punching the
lino, or circling tho ends. Only onco-,
from a fako kick formation wan
Ontario's end's circled.
Tho gamo was marred by somo
wrangling. Wolsor objected to the
playing of Poorman as fullback for
Ontario on tho ground that ho was
not eligible, having graduatod from
school last year. The local author
ities doclared that thoro was no rule
barring graduatos who woro regis
torod and taking a full courso. Tho
gumo went on in spite of tho pro-
tost. Alio In tho last quarter play
ers on both sliloa became rough,
whon Wolsor'a right end Iroland,
heolod Jim McCrolght aftor tho
latter nnd Intercepted a forward
pass. Anothor Ontario player treat
ed Iroland rough In return and the
scrappy llttlo end wanted to buttle
overyono In sight after tho gamo
ended. That vrr.s alt that It amount
ed too, no real fighting took place.
Figures Show Superiority
When the figure of the game
nro analysed the superiority of the
Ontario team Is manifest. Ontario
made 13 first downs to Welser's
flvo; made 260 yards to Welser's
,101; mado flvo complete forward

W. P. Davidson, Proddcnt of Ore
gon Western Colonization Company
Declares Prlnevlllo Making Suc
cess of Cow Buying Campaign
"Sixty dollars per day Is bolng
paid to ono bank In Prlnevlllo on
loans it has mado' on dairy cows,"
said W. P. Davidson, prosldont of
tho Orogon Wcstoru Colonization
company who was In. Ontario Mon
day enroute to his home In St. Paul,
Minnesota after a trip for his hold
ings In Oregon,
Mr. Davidson was accompanied
hero by Mr, Johnson, his agont at
Prlnevlllo, and was propared to
drive on through to St. Paul In case
tho strike scheduled for tljls week
had been called.
"There Is no doubt, In my mind,
concerning tho 'desirability of secur
ing mora dairy cows for this sec
tion," observed Mr. Davidson. This
Is an Ideal dairy section, and has
made wonderful progress In the past
ten years. You aro financially ablo
bore, as baa been demonstrated to
work out your problem, and havo
the leadership necessary for such a
campaign.
"Over .In Prlnovllle the other
day I asked one of the bankers
there who Is financing the ranchers
to socure dairy cows, and who is re
ceiving 0116 half of the milk checks
as they are paid, on tho money ad
vanced, bow much he had securod
In payment that day. He said 160.
At that rate It can bo seen that tho
ranchers are Boon to have their
cows paid for, and In the meantlmo
the entire community Is benefiting,"
Mr, Davidson also brought the
heartening word that conditions are
Improving In the Middle West, that
the factories of the Twin Cities are
opening up and employing men.
For the other side of tho picture,
however, he said that the Anchors
of the Mlddlo West are worse off by
far than those of this section. Mr
Davidson left for St. Paul, Monday

third, tho organization of a Hay

II. A. Llndgron, Extension Spec

the Oregon Extension Sorvlco, In
discussing tho marketing of hay
thru foodlng meat nnlmals, stated
that undor nvoragp conditions with
tho fattonod Block selling for ono

ly, six dollars par ton In tho stack
after deducting Intcrost, Insurnuco
nnd foodlng charges, When tho hay

vnluo of tho hay Is Increased by ap
proximately fifty percent
N. U. Jnmloson, Specialist In
Dairying, In presenting tho feasibil
ity of marketing hay thru dairy cat
tlo, gavo figures takon from a sur
voy of Malbour County farms mado
by tho Farm Buroau showing that
tho avcrago hay farm In 1920 mado
a farm Income of minus $622.00,
from an avorago acroago ot seventy
tlvo. Tho nvorago ot thoso forms
which wcro handled with dairy cows
consuming tho hay, showed an In
cotno ot over $700,00. Ho also
gavo flguros from a numbor of Wll
lamotto Vnlloy dairy farms showing
that tho avorago farm Income thoro
for 1020 was something ovor $1600.
In regard to tho valuo 'of hay when
fed to dnlry cows, ho stated that a
vory conservative flguro could be
reached by dividing tho prlco of
buttor fat by tlvo, tho rosult bolng
tho prlco ot a ton of hay In dollars;
tor Instnnco If buttor fat Is worth
forty conts than tho not valuo or
hay In tho stack, nftor, deducting all
costs for labor, Interest, doprocla
tlonaud bo on, would bo olght dol
lars per ton. Mr. Jnmloson stated
that this flguro represents an aver
ago valuo basod on a production of
one-half pound butter fat por day.
First class dairy cows producing
250 or 300 lbs. ot butter fat por an
num would nfford a market for al
falfa hay at a prlco from 60 to 100
parcont higher.
L. A. Hunt, manager ot tho Oro

mlaton, Orogon, gavo a very Intor
obtlng discussion on tho principles
and prnctlco ot cooporatlvo market
ing and tho nctlvltlos of his organi
zation. Ho statod that tho hay
growors association is organlzod on
tho California contract plan, with
a prosont membership representing
about 25,000 tons of hay. Although
tho organization has bconMunctton
ing for only about threo months, It
has alroady shipped the first hay
which has ovor gono from tho North
west by wator to tho New York
markot. Ho statod that his organi
zation would market hay this year
In Wostern Orogon, Western Wash
ington, In Canada, In Now York,
nnd that he oxpoctod to bo shipping
hay by wator thru tho Panama
Canal and up tho Mississippi River
to Memphis, within a short tlmo. Ho
roportod soma sales by the associa

stack. Numbor ono baled hay baa
been going nt nbout $12.60 per ton
F. O. n, Hermlston, which nots tho
growers $8.00 or $9.00 per ton In
tho stack. Mr. Hunt stated that the
hay situation was much bettor this
yoar than last, becauso of tho short
age In Enstorn territory
Ono ot tho most Interesting talks
given at tho mooting was by Mr.
Claud Wakoland, Extension Ento
mologist for Idaho, who has dono a
groat donl of work In tho control of
alfalfa weovll for tho past sovoral
years in Utah, Colorado and Idaho.
Ho gavo an outllno ot tho life his
tory of the attaint weevil anu 11s
distribution ovor portions of bIx of
tho wostern nlfalfu growing states.
Ho statod that tho weovll had
spread from a small colony near
Salt Lake about seventeen years
ago, until It now threatened to
cover all ot the alfalfa-growing sec
tions of the United States. He con
cluded his lecture with a discussion
ot control measures, tolling ot the
various experiments that had been
mado with various control measures
such as burning, pasturing, brush
dragging and bo on, all ot which
ho stated are not entirely satisfac
tory. Burning 1b to costly, and has
proven to bo ot very little boneflt.
Pasturing can bo used where there
Is sufficient stock to keep the alfal
fa closely grazed until late In June.
Brush dragging and cultivation
methods are of somo valuo but aro
objectionable becauso ot tho cost
and tho fact that the weevil des
troys a considerable portion ot tho
first crop an the second crop Is held
back at the time of tho year when
It should be making rapid growth.
