L
MEET JANUARY 21ST
Pendleton Meeting Will
Follow National Con
vention at Boise.
The toth annual convention of the
Orepon Woo! Growers Association
will be held in Pendleton January
21-23, according to an announcement
made by Mac Hoke, secretary. The
meeting will follow the National As
sociation's convention in Boise Jan
nary 18-20.
According to Hoke the Oregon
meeting is expected to draw a large
amount of talent from the National
meeting and many speakers and vis
itors of national reputation will be
there for the affair.
The first day will be given over al
most entirely to committee meetings.
The forest advisory board will meet
in the afternoon to consider permits
on national forests- Permittee asso
ciations will meet during the Thurs
day afternoon session. On Friday and
Saturday the program of talks and
discussions will be held.
One of the features of the conven
tion will be the address on Cost of
Production of Wool and Mutton to be
delivered by W. R. Barber, a practical
sheep man of Rupert, Idaho. Mr.
Barber is chairman of the Cost of
Production committee of the Idaho
Wool Growers association. This com
mittee has made extensive investiga
tions into very item of cost entering
into lamb and wool production. The
figures obtained are somewhat start
ling and do not show, as the general
public ordinarily believes, anything
but a small profit being derived from
the business of growing sheep and
wool.
It is expected that President Ha
genbarth of the National Wool Grow
ers association will attend the conven
tion and deliver one of the leading
addresses which will deal with the
outlook for sheep and wool produc
tion for the next few years.
The Pendleton Commercial associa
tion, through its social committee is
making extensive plans for the proper
entertainment of the delegates who
will be in attendance. The eonven
tion will close as usual with a large
colorful banquet to be hed on the
night of January 23rd.
The Oregon Wool Growers associa
tion is the oldest active state wool
growers association in the western
states. The forthcoming convention
will be the 29th held since its incep
tion. The association has a record of
achievement, according to Mr. Hoke,
that has been worth many thousands
of dollars to wool growers of the
state.

Boise Red Cross Chapter
Desires Information
The local Red Cross chapter has
received a communication containing
the following request:
The" Boise, Idaho, chapter, Ameri
can Red Cross desires assistance in
locating the burial place of John
Abel Swarti, whose heits, 0. H. Clen
denning, a World war veteran, and
Mrs. Mattie Clcndenning of Home
dale, Idaho, nephew and sister re
spectively, are very anxious to obtain
this information.
The heirs give the following infor
mation: In December, 1920, the Min
neapolis Daily News carried an ex
change from the Associated Press
that Abel Swartz had died; had been
buried in Westlawn Cemetery; and
that one R. C. Archer had advertised
for the heirs without success. The
exchange did not give the name of
the city or state in which Westlawn
cemetery is located and to date all
efforts on the part of the heirs, to
locate this cemetery or R. C. Archer
have been unsuccessful.
FARM POINTERS.
(From Oregon Agricultural College.)
Growers in Oregon who plan to
plant strawberries the coming season
are warned by the department of
entomology of the experiment sta-.
tion against purchasing plants in
fested with the strawberry root wee
vil. Land already infested with the
weevil is best planted to grain the
first year after plowing under, then
vetch or clover one year, then a cul
tivated crop one or two years, and
then strawberries again for three
years. -New plantings should be set
with weevil-free plants and on weevil-free
ground. Where the weevil
already occurs in the district, the
new plantings are as far away from
the old plantings as possible.
Fail cleanup of the farm, home gar
den, arid orchard will materially re
duce the insect pests of the follow
ing season, says the entomology de
partment of the Oregon station. Cut
worms, grasshoppers and root mag
gots are destroyed by rail plowing
and burning of the fence rows and
ditch banks. San Jose scale, tent
caterpillars, tree crickets, aphids, leaf
hoppers, and cicadas are destroyed
by burning the prunings from the or
chard, brush, and brambt' fruits.
fathering up and destroying crop
remnants, litter rubbish, and weeds
in the home garden destroy hibernat
ing places of such insects as the cu
cumber beetle and asparagus beetle.

Old-Time Delicacy
The following la a recipe for old-
fashioned liouilny, which, wm re
cently published In a farm paper:
In thive quarts of water dissolve
one tublespoonful of lye. Shell
quantity of good corn, put It tn the
kettle of lye and boll until tbe
hulls are removed. Pour on the lye,
wnsli and rewash and boll In clean
water. Pour off the water several
times and supply fresh. Tills Is
much the same as the hulled corn
of the "New England states, which
is eaten with sweet milk, but which
may be served with gravy.- .
Patriotic Organization

Cure for Unrest
By adding nhout a couple more
hours of sleep each night, and about
three hours more of work a dny,
we fancy about 00 per cent of the
unrest In this country would be
disposed of. Houston Post Dis

Musician's Fine Memory
It is doubtful If there lias ever
been any one In the whole history
of the art whose musical memory
was so marvelous sa Mendelssohn's.
.We are told (anys a writer In John
o' London's Weekly) that ha hardly
ever needed a score on any occasion
whatever and It Is authentically re
corded of him that shortly before
hU ilfath he played through frhin
memory the whole of Beethoveu's
"Ninth Symphony" truly prodi
gious feat ' '
Another well-attested unecdota of
Mendelssohn tells how on one occa
sion when he was rehearsing Willi
out score a chorus from Knout
"Matthew Passion" he culled oul
at a certain point : "Please note
that at the twenty-third bar the
sopranos have C and not C sharp.
Honest at Least
Her blonde prettlness and dainty
attire attracted a woman as she
stood beside her in the public li
brary. From her chic satin hat
to her trim little shoes she was the
last word In feminine smartness.
She had asked the librarian for
the most widely read book of the
day, and the llhrarlun was doulrtful
whether there was a copy In at
present, but after searching a few
moments returned and handed ber
the desired book. t
"Qh, goodness, not It has too
many pages ; I heard so much about
It I Just thought I Bliould read It.
but that's too much of a Jol," and
thanking the girl very sweetly,
tripped out of the building, lenluif
a faint truce of perfume and a
wide-eyed llhrarlnn behind her.
