The South Pole, which has been hitherto only twice attained, Is the objective of Commander Richard E. Syrd in the most carefully planned voyage of exlporation ever made. Commander Byrd is departing from New York in his Antarctic ship, the Samson, accompanied by fifty-five volunteers, among them such heroes of the air as Bernt Ealchen, Thomas Mulroy and Harold L June. Commander Byrd is taking three planes with him. He believes the Antarctic can be conquered by the airplane just as the Arctic has been conquered. He has also purchased for the venture an iron freighter, the Chelsea, which is in New Zea land. The Chelsea will be used mainly to transport the supplies. After leaving New Zealand Byrd will establish a base on the Ross Ice Barrier, about 1,000 miles from the pole. A self-supporting settle ment will be established here and the Samson wfll be sent back to New Zealand to prevent the loss of her by crushing in the ice. Byrd will establish bases from the Bar rier to the Pole, 100 miles apart, to be used in case of emergency. When the bases have been laid, Byrd will fly toward the Pole in his tri-motored monoplane named after Floyd Bennett. The South Pole in on a plateau about two miles high, which makes it very difficult for an aviator as the air is very rare, and the landing speed must therefore be very great. Thus, special care must be taken to preserve the landing skiis of the plane, the demolishment of which would make it difficult, if not im possible, for the flying party to re turn to the base. The trip will also be devoted to scientific study, with, a special map ping camera used to chart the re gions explored. BOARDMAN That Boardman club work will make a showing equal to that of other communities next month when the projects are closed and the year's work exhibited at the North Morrow County fair is evidenced by the interest .shown in the garden club.

Mrs. Doyle Hubbell and baby daughter came home Saturday from Hermiston. Greenfield Grange had an inter esting meeting Saturday night F. R. Wilbur of the Hermiston exper iment station, gave a very interest ing talk on Curly Leaf Blight and Melon Blight In explaining the former, Mr. Wilbur stated that since the blight occurred during the hot dry winds that farmers had fre quently attributed this as a cause of the disease but it was found by careful study that this blight is caused by a tiny insect which eats into the plants and that plants which are growing in the shade are not effected. Tomatoes, squash, and other plants are susceptible to this insect. Rotation of crops, especial care in selection of Beed is about all that can be done as yet to avoid the blight, although scientists are working to develop plants which are immune. The water melon blight Is not the same as the curly leaf blight, according to Mr. Wilbur's report, it is not caused by voracious insects but is a disease which nils the stalk of the melon vine, depriv ing the plant of its proper food. An effort is being made to develop a melon that will be immune but so far this has not been done. The soil becomes contaminated and- re moval of the melon -patch to new soil is essential, also care to have the melons planted some distance from other vegetables, such as squash, pumpkins, fucumbers, etc., as they do cross pollenize. Seed houses are required where their melons are isolated at least half a mile from other vining plants. Care in seed selection of melons is very essential for while a melon may be especially delicious and seeds saved one might, find the melon raised from these seeds unfit for consump tion. The attendance was not so large as anticipated but all who came were keenly interested Tn Mr. Wilbur s talk. Lunch was Berved at the close of the business session.
