Growers in Oregon expect to raise 5 per cent more Christmas dinners this year, according to Lloyd Churchs field representative of Northwest Poultry and Dairy Products in Salem. This trend was supported by graphs and charts presented to Marion County Turkey Growers Friday by Noel Bennion, extension poultryman. Cost of feed and poults is ex pected to be up this year and chances of a successful year more remote. Good operators with efficient brooders and good range are raising the in creased turkey population while Hogs Good Bet On 1952 Market Hogs will be a good bet on most farms in Oregon in 1952. Heavy marketing of sows and a smaller spring pig crop pre icted make a hog enterprise on farms look good. Efficient feeding, worm and other parasite control, heavy use of pasture, and the use of surplus grains to produce a few hogs will be a dependable asset to any farm bank account. Over 100 top quality bred gilts from members of the Ore gon Swine Growers association will be available to eastern Oregon farmers in LaGrande on February 16, Prineville, Feb ruary 27, and Klamath Falls, February 29. Association Secretary Ben Newell, Salem, says all animals are registered and guaranteed to be bred. They are of quality that can be used to start a pure bred herd or improve the quality of a grade sow herd. Sale catalogues may be had by writing the association head quarters in Salem. N. Marlon Banquet Tonight Hubbard The second annual Junior-Senior banquet will be held at North Marion high school Thursday evening, Feb. 14 at 6:30. A short program will be presented. The mothers of the junior class are preparing the banquet and the sophomore girls are serving. there are fewer small growers this year. Emphasis is focusing on de veloping a western market for our turkeys to eliminate the freight cost of shipping east. The 2 V2 million turkeys in Ore gon represent only a small amount of food compared with the estimated 9 million to be grown in California this year. Turkeys are responsible for a good part of the AVi million dollar poultry income in Mar ion county last year. It's the largest single agricultural crop marketed in terms of dollars. Good breeding facilities, healthy poulls, sanitation and good management on the range and efficient timely marketing all help make a turkey deal at tractive. Chairman of the Marion County Turkey Growers com mittee William Chase of Au rora, said his experience raising 10,000 Beltsville White fryers had been an interesting one. Fryers create a new poultry market rather than taking the place of chicken fryers or larger turkeys. Marketing is the big prob lem and requires time and ef fort to get shops to try the fryer. Repeat business is good once the customer has enjoyed a turkey fryer.

"I don't want to go back," she said, 13 days after she left her Yakima, Wash., home. "I want to go to reform school." Police, who would not iden tify the girl because she is a juvenile, said she gave herself up rather than have them look for her. "The people I live with are very nice and the husband works for a typewriter com pany, but we Just don't get along," officers quoted her. "I certainly don't want to go back to them." "My mother died eight years ago, and my daddy four years ago. The couple (in Yakima) adopted me then and I have been with them ever since." The ninth grade student said she has two sisters and a brother who were adopted by others. "My foster parents don't want me to see them but once a year," she said. "They come to my house each Christmas, but I never am allowed to go to see them." Jackson juvenile officer John Osborne said the Yakima police chief told him by telephone the foster parents are "a nice couple and that the girl has a good home in Yakima." Osborne said the police chief is conferring with the parents regarding disposition of the case. The black-haired, blue-eyed girl said she rode from Yakima to Boise, Ida., by bus, and from there to Joplin, Mo. After working for two days nursing an elderly couple in Joplin, she took another bus to Hot Springs, Ark., where she worked as a waitress. She said she arrived here Sunday with no money and surrendered to police. 4 'Sitting Ducks' Are Coming Home San Francisco (U.R) Destroy er division 91, the four "sitting ducks" that paved the way for the Inchon invasion in Korea, will return to San Diego from the Far East on Feb. 17, ac cording to the navy.
