Hermiston Scene of Sell
ing ; School Planning
to Give Operetta.
MRS. A. T. HEREIM, Correspondent.
Monday, the 11th, was "Turkey
Day" at Hermiston, and speaking
of turkeys, they were there In abun
dance, brought in by various con
veyances, some in trucks, some In
school busses, some in roadsters, old
Fords, classy sedans and even some
behind old Dexter and Dobbyn. A
line which extended from the ware
house opposite the old hotel almost
to the Standard Oil company plant
west of town. There were turkeys
of all sizes, shapes, colors and de
scriptions. One has no realization
of the" number of turkeys in the
Umatilla project region until he
spends on hour or so at the packing
plant There were skinny, pinny
turkeys of a decided "blue cast,"
which the grader calmly placed in
the pile of "seconds" and which the
trusting and gullible eastern house
wife will no doubt purchase at first
grade price; there were fat, chub
by birds, yellow as gold that re
quired only a slight stretch of the
imagination to see gracing a fes
tive dinner to be; there were great
huge toms, former patriarchs of the
flock, 30 pounds or more In weight
with drumsticks so large that one
would almost feed the modern fam
ily; there were long-legged birds
and short-legged ones, birds with
white wing feathers and birds with
speckled wings; there were birds
with paper bonnets and birds with
out, some with their feet neatly
shod in paper sacks and others dis
playing their feet "au naturel;"
there were birds with crooked
breasts which went into the seconds,
birds with straight breasts and Just
who Is going to inquire whether the
breast be straight or crooked if the
bird be properly roasted and accom
panied by sweet potatoes, cranber
ries, etc., but to the farmer it means
a difference of 10 cents the pound.
After grading and weighing each
birdie has his head demurely tucked
under his wing and is packed in
rows with 10 or 12 of his compan
ions in large paper lined boxes, and
after bringing the grower a mere
32 cents per pound, is trucked to
the station, thence shipped to New
York or some other metropolis and
purchased by the turkey-loving pub
lic at a price nearer 50 cents than
30.
Growers were promised better
service this year than last, but for
some reason it failed to materialize
and cars were lined up with owners
shivering about, and no place to
wait, causing some farmers to
reach home at 8 and 9 p. m many
of them with a herd of cows to
milk.
Some growers were well satisfied
with the grading, others not; one
rancher took his seconds next door
to a creamery company and receiv
ed number one grade, and was paid
for them. This company was also
paying one cent premium. The buy
er there stated that what was need
ed was a few more cash buyers and
less "cooperative." Possibly true,
but just what price would the large
companies be paying If It were not
for the Idaho-Oregon pools, because
of the large increase in birds raised
In the northwest?
It is to be hoped that better ser
vice will be rendered at the Decem
ber pool. The long, cold wait is an
noying and uncomfortable and
Monday the stores were closed,
which made it bad.
Mrs. D. W. Miller, Mrs. Claude
Coats, Mrs. Leo Root, Mrs. Guy
Barlow, Mrs. Jack Rainville and
Mrs. F. A. Fortier were hostesses
Wednesday at the Silver Tea at the
home of Mrs. D. W. Miller. After
the business meeting the "Capsules"
were passed out, each capsule con
taining a nam and the person
whose name was received is the
recipient of at least one kind deed
a month for a period of three
months, the names to be kept a
dark secret until the end of the
three months, when the name is di
vulged and that which each person
did for her capsule Is to be told.
An elaborate lunch was served by
the committee.
A number of the younger set at

met with a severe accident. On

came upon two of the big stages

chatting. Carl, who was driving the
Brice car, saw the first stage but
not the second and struck the back

dainty luncheon was served after

rehearsnl for the operetta, "The
Trapnesting Simple Plan
For Better Poultry Flock
Trapnesting is to the poultry
breeder what the scales and Bab
cock test are to the dairy cattle
breeder, but trapnesting alone is
not a guarantee of good breeding
results, finds A. G. Lunn, head of
the department of poultry husband
ry at Oregon State college, a pioneer
in poultry breeding work.
A good trapnest record contains,
in addition to the total number of
eggs laid by each individual, the
date the first egg Is laid and the
totals by months, so that the laying
cycle and rythm is shown. It is
just as important, says Professor
Lunn, to know when a 200 egg hen
lays her eggs as it is to know this
total.

that is it poor management to trap
nest every pullet on a breeding
farm, as much may be saved by
eliminating late maturing birds at
the outset. This in Itself eliminates
some undesirable families.
Some simple, practical steps for
any breeder to use in improving his
flock one step at a time are quoted
by Professor Lunn, with some addi
tions from his own experience.
These follow:
First, get the flock so that pullets
mature 200 days of age, by first
choosing early maturing breeders,
both male and female.
Second, choose breeders that ma
ture right and are not broody. The
latter is seldom much of a factor
with Leghorns.
Third, as1 soon as half the flock
qualifies in these respects, select
for breeders only those that lay 22
eggs in either November or Decem
ber. Finally, use as breeders only those
that lay at least 80 eggs during the
winter, and stay in continuous pro
duction for 12 months. After this
egg size, color, or other refinements
may be added as the breeder may
desire.
