Do the people of Valo and sur rounding rural districts want the public library to close? , If you are apathetic about it the library will close until such time as tax money sufficient to pay the monthly expenses comes in. But if you are public spirited and appreciate the value of tho library to Vale and are willing to back your desire with a few cents, the library will remain open. The cost is $20 a month and The Enterprise believes the people of ... . ... . the community will pay that amount to keep the library open until Octo ber, when tax money will be avail able. The Enterprise will give $1 a month until October to keep the library open. Who are 19 others to give $1 a month or more or to give less amounts. If you want to keep the library open notify Librarian Mrs. C. C. Mueller or The Enter prise. It is impossible to estimate the falue of the public library to Vale in dollars and cents but it is worth a trvaaf Aaa tn thf prlllrntinn ami ' usement of the community.

Baseball Fans Turn Out to Root For Favorite Town and See Close Game Played Between Old Rivals Here Last Sunday By Sport Writer. - Standing of Teams. Won Nyssa 4 Ontario 3 Huntington.. 3 Vale 2 Lost Percentage 2 .666 3 .500 3 ..500 4 .333 Vale dropped into the cellar in tho Big Four league last Sunday when Ontario was lucky enough to win a close game by 2 to 1 score. Huntington defeated the leaders, Nyssa, and the final results of the league are still in doubt. Either Ontario or Huntington might lead the league at the finish by the right combination of victories in the re maining games to be played. Vale is definitely out of the winning but can finish second or third by win ning the rest of her games. It was anybody's game until the. last out was made in the ninth in ning last Sunday.. The score stood two-one in Ontario's favor during the last three innings but Vale could not overcome the lead. There was only one earned run in the game and Vale made that., Ontario pulled a stunt which no teamin the Big Four has ever done before. Coaches were maintained back of first and third all through the game and Catcher Parrott's sig nals were disclosed to the Ontario batters. Th is is within ' the legal rights 0f the game but not within the rights of clean sportsmanship. Ontario owes her victory of Sunday to this kind of playing.

TO CONTROL ALFALFA WEEVIL. Fully 125 men participated in the alfalfa weevil day program put on last Friday as a cooperative propo sition between the Malheur county farm bureau and the Canyou county farm bureau. And it was an earn est bunch in pursuit of information on what this pest is like, what it does and how to handle it to best advantage. Assembling at Nyssa at 10 a .m., the caravan moved West one mile by way of the C. C. Hunt farm, then North to the Owyhee canal, the banks of which were followed, reach ing the highway at the K. S. & D. ranch. The route then was North along the highway to Ontario, where lunch was taken in the park. Four stops were made enroute, the first to study the four life phases of the pest, the adult beetle, eggs in the alfalfa stems, the larva or worm feeding on the tops, and the pupae in their frail, lace-like cocoons on the ground. The second stop was in a field which was badly infested last year and showed the effects of the weevil in k eeping the alfalfa back while the grass chokes the al falfa out, leaving a meadow which produces a small quantity of infer ior hay. The third stop was made to study the r esults of pasturing with sheep. It was found that con siderable benefit has resulted in this grazing, but that not enough ,stock had been used to pasture the stems off close. As a result large num bers of eggs were to be found in the stems ready to hatch out and at tack the crop, perhaps ruinously if the stock is removed too soon. The fourth stop was at a field which was sown last year.

Some stock, however, have been lost from the use of hay from orchards where 1 heavy coatings of lead arsenate re sulted from the spraying of trees. It is well known that when live stock, particularly horses, are turn ed into orchards in. thc fall that they not only eat the alfalfa about the trunks which may have several coatings of lead arsenate upon it, but that they also eat many of the fallen apple caves which are also whitewashed with poison. There is a distinct difference between these conditions and that of the field which receives a very light spray of calcium arsenate which also does not have ihe cumulative poisoning effects which the lead has. Mr. Wakeland gave a thorough ex planation of thc life history and the history of control work. He ' told about tho efforts of the U. S.

He called for suggestions on how all of the farmers of the Snake River val ley might cooperate to bring the pest under control. President Van Petten of the Ontario Commercial Club added to the' effectiveness of the program In a short talk In which he pointed out the value in dollars, running into the hundreds of thousands, which the alfalfa hay crop meant to the county and sug gested that the value of government experimental work should be given consideration In preference to the theories of those little familiar with tho problem. This sentiment seemed to carry weight with the crowd and the remark that laws should be passed to compel spraying of alfalfa unless it be plowed up, was heard quite frequently uring the time after adjournment of the program part and the consumption of ice 1 Whebin, extension entomologist for 1 l.lr.lin I ' f(l t If II 1 1 V Vl" V IMHl V W I'll I to the Homer Utley farm to see .,i( wu. -4W0.h,,rse , mm - tractor tvne sprayer covering -a striD 24 feet wide.

A resolution condemniny the di rect primary election of Oregon as an unnecessary expense and an un stable method of nominating candi dates, and urging the repeal of the primary will be introduced at the organization meeting of the repub lican county central committee in Vale, Saturday, June -7. The senti ment among party leaders in Maf heur county is strongly against the direct primary law and it is pre dicted the resolution will be passed. The annual meeting of the repub lican committee was called Thurs day by County Chairman George W. Hayes. The time was set at 2 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, June. 17. The notice issued by Chairman Hayes is as follows: "Central Committee Meeting. "To the Committeemen of the Sev eral Precincts of Malheur County: "There will be a meeting of the County Republican Central Commit tee held in Vale, on the 17th day of June (Saturday), 1022, at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m., at which time there will be elected a chairman, secretary-treasurer of said commit tee, and also to take any action the meeting mrfy desire in regard to the present direct primary law, and such other business as may come before the meeting. "Geo. W. Hayes, "County Chairman." Sentiment against the falacies of the direct primary law is growing in MJhoTtJVcoctily H- In every where in the state, according to leaders in the republican party. "I am in favor of the repeal of all features of the direct primary law and the return to a properly safe-guarded convention system of nomination," said Chairman Hayes. "I do not favor the New York or Roosevelt primary law, as has been favored by several county central committees in the state. Party nom inations under this system are merely advisory. . The primary elec tion with all its big expense is held just the same. Chairman Hayes predicted that the resolution to be introduced at the meeting would pass. "The direct primary law has not worked out as it was intended to in Oregon," said Robt. D. Lytle, dis trict attorney. "With a large num ber of. Bclf-Beeking candidates out for office and a small percentage of tho voters going to the primaries, the candidate is usually nominated by a very small part of tho vote of his party and is not the choice oL the majority of the people. - For this reason I believe a well-guarded convention system is more repre sentative of the people."
