Seven Eastern Oregon Counties To
Have Erosion Groups Working
Under Conservation Men
It was announced in the papers
last week that CCC erosion camps
would be established in seven east
ern Oregon counties. Na date
was given for the start of the
work, no definite location was an
nounced for any of them and ap
parently no one has any more defi
nite information that was contain
ed in the short article making the
announcement.
Word from the erosion meeting
in Pendleton was that that branch
of the service was not informed,
the state college authorities have
telegraphed for information and
none of the local agricultural
leaders have been given notice of
the establishment of the camps
In all probability the work in
this county’ will consist of obtain

proving according to reports.
To those whose ear is attuned to
music Saturday must have been
a very pleasant day indeed for
from the start of the program in
the park in the morning until late
at night there was music of
one sort or another all day long.
Eleven bands. Grass Valley, Du
fur, Maupin. Rufus, Wasco, Stev
enson Wash Arlington, Condon,
Goldendale. Moro and The Dalles,
each played a few pieces from the
oand stand just as a sample ot
what they had been learning for
the past year. The weather was
not quite warm enough at this
period of the day to make it the
most enjoyable but a good crowd
listened to the performance.
Singing Act Shown
After noon a program of sing
ing with Sherman county schools
putting on the numbers was held
at the school auditorium. Moro,
Wasco and Rufus were the schools
represented. The children of sev-
ral grades of Moro sang, several
pleasing numbers from Rufus
were given and the Wasco ‘‘dua-
ties” and rhythm band were shown
to advantage.
Immediately after this event the
younger people and members of
the different bands adjourned to
the Legion Hall where a social
dance was held for the remaindet
of the afternoon.
Adults moved to the fair ground
where the Indians bowed to the
Moro team in baseball by a de-
cisive score of 19 to 12. The In
dians started off with 6 runs in
the first inning but could not hold
their lead when their pitcher
failed to stop the hard slugging
men in Moro uniforms.
Drum Corp Pleases
That evening Moro’s band assist
ed by several from other towns
gave a recital on the streets for
an hour. This was followed by a
demonstration by the drum corp
from The Dalles all respondent in
new uniforms and snappier than
usual in anticipation of a good
time. They attracted a good deal
of attention.
The dance after the other fes-
tivities was well attended and
proven an entertaining affair. It
was the only part of the perform
ance to which admission was
charged and it proved equal to the
occasion by returning sufficient
funds to pay the expense.
Tests Show Moisture
Deficiency; It Rained
Shortage of Moisture Relieved By
Welcome Shower
Tests taken in wheat plots at
the station show that there is an
average of 6.5 percent moisture
in the soil at the time the tests
were taken —some time last week.
As 5 percent of the moisture can
not be used by the crop it is ap
parent that on these plots there
is not enough water to carry the
grain much farther.
Observation over the county
leads to the belief that a somewhat
similar condition exists in many
fields. Old timers, however, ar®
not discouraged for as Frank
Morrow says, “We always lose a
crop two or three times before
we finally get it anyway.” There
is time for rains to come and as
everyone knows a few hours rain
makes all the difference in the
world to a wheat crop.
of
The above was true
Wednesday afternoon. That night
20 of an inch of rain fell to re
lieve the situation for a week or
so. Reports are that a smaller
amount of rain fell in the south
end of the county.
