West coast poultrymen must pro duce eggs cheaper than eastern pro ducers, as they have to sell the sur plus in markets further east at the same prices local producers get, says Paul V. Maris, O. A. C, director of extension. This means that the cost of extra shipments has to be saved off the production cost of eggs to make competition possible. "To compete in these markets we have to produce eggs for less," says the director. "To succeed it is nec essary that a large enough flock be kept to warrant: 1. Frequent trips to markets with egy's so they will be in first class condition. 2. Mixing or purchase of precise ly balanced rations. 3. Growing special crops for green feed. 4. Special equipment such as houses, yards and brooders." To determine more nearly just what the conditions of success are. the Extension service conducted in Benton county three demonstration and two record poultry farms. In cubation and brooding and culling out weak layers were leading items of investigation. The best means of assisting farm and commercial pro ducers to meet their seasonal prob-: lems are being found in these inves- i tigations. Another demonstration farm will be run this year, and complete rec- i ords will be kept in three other com munities to see how the new plans are panning out. The farm bureau, granges, com munity clubs, Corvallis chamber of commerce, and farmers, cooperated. Otherwise the work would not have been possbile, Mr. Maris declares. (Continued from First Page) they might be expected to b accord ing to their ages. 6 per cent are accelerated; that is, they are one or more grades above the grade in which they should be. 10 per cent are classed aa retarded, or from one to two grades below where they should be for their age. Taking the case of the boys, 73 per cent are normal; 6 per cent are accelerated, and 21 per cent are retarded. The basketball game played be tween Boardman and Heppner last Saturday was rather one-sided. Boardman was at a disadvantage be cause of having played a strenuous game at Lexington the previous night. The Heppner boys played fast and scored two points at the beginning of the game. They kept up their good playing and at the end of the first half the score was 14-0 in our favor. In the second half some of the Second tanm m.n i i ....... yiaycu but the score still mounted up in ucpyuera iavor. in the last quarter Boardman waa nhl tn mni - u.u-.. - m was&cb and the game ended with a score of oi-i m iieppner-s favor. Carl Cason was the star of the game, making 14 points for Heppner by his brilliant play's. Both aides played a good clean game, a splendid spirit existing through the entire battle. Board man played a hard game under great handicaps and they are to be com mended on their sportsmanship. The only thing lacking was the loyal back ing the people of the community owe their school team. Come out next time and see the boys win. Mr. Hedrick makes the following statementa concerning the school: According to reports compiled be fore December SI there have been 294 pupils enrolled in the grades of Heppner and 113 in the high school. 28 of the grade pupils and 7 of the high school pupils are nonresidents of the district. By the same report there has been a reduction in teacher cost of 0 per cent in the high school and 20 per cent in the grades. Last year it cost for teaching and janitor service alone 44.2 cents per day per pupil in the high school and 31.2 cents per pupil per day in the grades. This year the cost is 40.2 cents per pupil in the high school and 24.9 cents in the grades. This has been brought about in three ways: elimination of one teacher, big general cut in teachers' wages, and increase in the number of pupils assigned to a teacher.

FEED SUPPLY ON RANGE IS NOT QUITE NORMAL, KUHN SAYS IN HIS ANNUAL GRAZING REPORT Sheep to the n amber of 138,256, and 17,214 cattle and 1,068 horses grazed on the rarges in the territory over which John C. Kuhns has juris diction during the year of 3922, ac cordnig to e annual grazing report which has been compiled in the local office of the fortst tervice. The dis tricts included in Mr. Kuhns report are Aotin, Touchet, Wnlii Walla, VWinh, Gut- t AT 17 JLU Vi-V-LJ Ul Grande fconde, Albee, dane and Heppner. Feed on ti.e rang-e during the sea ton on an average for aii sections ond the district wts not quite normal in supply, the report indicates. The chief factor in this shortness of feed was the light rainfall. The deficien cy in rainfall at the Walla Walla station was .5 inches, and the total precipkation err.ounted to 10.9 inches. Wild Hurt-en Bother No change in fees is recommended for 11C3 by the report, but the rtc cottimendatiun is made that either & grating hiifctant, or an experienced gntzirg examiner be assigned to the L'matii'a Ft-rest to as? lift livestock ast-ociationn in their grazi?ig problems on the rai.g1. There aie Rt-rroximatftly 800 head of wild or unc. aimed hordes roaming and feeHirg over the Htrdtr.an-Tani-ferack-Morument rarge, ir;d the pres ence of these Bnirnais is a nuigance to sttA'kTsen. the leport Rty. The suggestion itt put forward that legal Ktepf toward getting rid of these ani raa)i be tkn by the service. The cumiition of catt;e when they j came off the rxnge lat fall varied i according to the kind of range they j ffd on during the nutnmer, Another j factor that tgured in their condition i was the shape in which they were when they catne on to the range in j the fprii-R. le to the hard winter j of 1.-21:, large numbers of cattle! were thin when they were placed on the range. In those dhtricts where I feed was short, they remained thin j when they left this f'(. Cattlemen are generally di scour- I aged in th? district on account of i market conditions. The report says: "On parts of the rarge there was a' decided dump in the demand for range by cattlemen, liariger Woods Mates that eight permittees on the rive Mile caltie range have quit the civile buinrsk durirg the laitt sea son. I believe, however, tliut the de mand Is culturally nure or less t pas mini, c for M0 per cent of the V mat) Us rattle range, due to the fact that a large peir?iiUgtt of ao called cattle men are not dependent on cattle raining fur a livelihood. Sheep Men Encouraged. "The sheep business is picking up," the report continues, "and there is a general feeling of encouragement among the sheepmen. It is true that a number of Umatilla permittees have bene sold out, or have lost their stock and ranches through foreclos ure; but this is the result of the dis astrous seasons of 1919, 1920 and 1921 : rather than to conditions prevailing j in U'22. Shipments of early lambs from the Umatilla range brought j good prices. Ranger Kendall states 1 that lambs sold by the Ganguetg weighed between 85 and 90 pounds. ' The J. E. Smith Livestock Co. lambs averaged 75.2 pounds in weight when they were sold at Meacham, Oregon, August 10. This particular shipment j was a straight run of 1,000 lambs. ana mere were ne-cui Dacas. ( Of interest to sportsmen is that 1 part of the report in which the cen- 1 bus of wild animals is made. The to tals for all the range territories in the district are as follows: iluie deer, 6,795; elk, 1,365; brown ! bear, 1.150; black bear, 1,065; coyotes 1 6,025; lynx, 475; wolf, 35; badger, s0; beaver, 1.475; fox, 320, marten, 3,0a0; mink, 2,167; muskrat, 2,360; : otter, 125; and weasel, 8,000- The suggestion is put forward in ; the report that the game laws might he much more strictly enforced in i the district, especially in Umatilla ; county. Loaaes of Livestock, j During the season, the total losses of cattle were 63 head, it is stated. Of this number, 10 head died because ; of diseases and eight are reported as having died from eating poisonous : plants. By far the greater percent age of losses came about from natur- ! al looses, ft is estimated: old age, calving, and sliding over bluffs caus ing the demise of probably 75 per cent of the cattle lost. liased on rangers' reports, to to tal looses in sheep ia estimated at 5,C6. Of this number, 3,820 are said to have been killed by predatory ani mals. In the Touchet district losses were higher to the band than in oth er districts due to the fact that many cheep wandered from the band and so fell easy prey to animals, The coy ote causes the greater part of the loss from this source, but stockmen are credited with the statement that bears cause 10 per cent of the loss thitt comes from predatory animals.
