PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. New Dry Land Grass I ti n : rv.j. I iiaa i ruiuiMng r mure Crested wheat grass, a dry land pasture grass, is proving successful above the expectations of any one who sowed it in Morrow county. Although growing on some of the drier hill lands which were unprofit able for the growing of wheat it stays green throughout the major part of the summer and is the ear liest tame pasture grass found growing in the grass nurseries in which grass varieties have been tested by Chas. W. Smith, county agent An important characteris tic of this grass is that it produces an abundance of seed although the stand may be thin the first year, enough plants come the following year to thicken the stand. Field test plots of crested wheat grass have been established in the various communities throughout the county and no doubt many far mers having land which has proved to be unprofitable for the growing of wheat will establish some plant ing of this grass in the near future. This grass is now growing at the farms of W. H. Cleveland, Heppner; Carl Peterson, lone; Clyde Wright, Heppner; R. L. Benge, Heppner, and Frank Wilkinson, Heppner, to determine best dates for planting and best way to prepare the seed bed. From past observations it would seem that best stands were obtained from fall seeding on land plowed early and well cared for during the summer. A field tour is planned for some time in the early part of June when everyone interested will be given a chance to see the grass growing in the fields. Episcopal Synod is Set San Francisco in Week The synod of the eighth province of the Episcopal church will meet in the city of San Francisco, Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. The province includes the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. At the convocation held this week in Pendleton, Rev. Stanley Moore was elected one of three delegates to the synod, while Mrs. Moore and Mrs. O. L. Frye were elected with three others to represent eastern Oregon at the meetings of the Church Women's Service league that meets in conjunction with the synod. Rev. and Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Moore Sr. and Mrs. O. L. Frye will leave Heppner immediately after the services on Sunday and motor to San Francisco. The convocation at Pendleton was the finest yet held, reports Rev. Mr. Moore. The work of the district is progressing in a way that is highly pleasing to the bishop. Seventeen people from Heppner were in at tendance at the meeting at one time or another. The mass meeting in the interest of Church Unity was a joy and inspiration to all. Frater nal gatherings like this are one of the first steps toward Christian unity. Marriage and Divorce Ratios Are Announced Washington, D C, April 26.

The week end of May 10 and 11 has been set as the time of the annual mother's week end at Ore gon State college. At this time the , students entertain mothers from throughout the west and prepare a program emphasizing the place of women in the modern world. PROCLAMATION. With a view to preserving Ore gon's greatest asset the children as the first of May once again ap proaches it becomes my pleasant duty as well as a real privilege to call upon the citizens of the State of Oregon to join in the national observance of Child Health day, which day has been set apart by Congress and by a proclamation of the President of the United States for the purpose of centering great er attention upon constructive health programs for fully develop ing the health and strength of the youth of the land. The success and welfare of the state and nation depends upon the citizenry. The children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. There fore it behooves us, each and every one, to see that the future citizens are fully equipped with healthy bod ies, strong and clean minds and sound education. Good health is a vital part of the foundation for happiness and effi ciency. This foundation may be more easily builded during the im pressionable years of the child. Let us not wait until some diseases or defects have impaired the health of our children; but rather let us wage a relentless warfare of prevention let us plan and carry out a con structive program for child health let us aid each child to obtain a real heritage of sound health and vigor ous minds let us do these things now and thus promote and safe guard the future of our state and nation. Now, therefore, I, A. W. Norblad, Goveror of Oregon, in conformity to the action of Congress and the proclamation of the President of the United States, do hereby desig nate May first of this year as Child Health day in the State of Oregon and do invite and urge all the citi zens of Oregon to cooperate in car rying out to a most successful con clusion an observance of this day which surely will make itself felt throughout the year in the general recognition of the importance of that wonderful asset, the health of the children. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the State of Oregon to be hereunto affixed this 12th day of April, 1930. A. W. NORBLAD, Governor. 4-H Club Has Meeting Despite Bad Weather Despite rainy weather and muddy roads, the Standard 4-H club held its meeting at Gooseberry school Sunday.

Enrollments Morrow county is led by only one county of the state, Linn, in per centage of applications for enroll ment in the Citizens Military Train ing camp to be held at Vancouver Barracks, Wash., this summer. Mor row county has sent In applications totaling 14, or 200 percent of its quota. Only two other counties, except Multnomah, Baker with 15 enrollments and Union with 16, lead Morrow county in number of appli cations. Five trainees have been tentative ly authorized this county. The ten tative enrollment quota is set at seven. Two applicants have been definitely accepted and so notified. Walter E. Moore is serving as coun ty enrollment chairman. RODEO DATES SET. Dates for the 1930 Heppner Rodeo have been set for September 4-5-6, 1930. The earlier dates this year were taken following the example of the Pendleton Round-Up associa tion, which has moved the dates for the 1930 Round-Up about three weeks ahead of the time used in previous years. The reason for do ing this is to escape the disagree able weather that has been run into consistently the last few years in late September. COMMENCEMENT COMING. Heppner high school will have its commencement exercises Thursday evening, May 29, with Dr. D. V. Pol Ing, director of radio station KOAC, Oregon State college, giving the ad dress. The senior class numbers 31, the largest In the history of the school. The baccalaureate sermon will be given in the school auditor ium Sunday, May 25, with Guy L. Drill, pastor of the Christian church of Pendleton, delivering the address. FREAK ON DISPLAY.

Permittees Will Meet To Consider Problems A meeting of the Umatilla Permit tees association has been set for Monday evening. May 5, at the Heppner American Legion hall. Joe Sears, secretary of the Washington Wool Groovers association, will tell of the latest developments in the cooperative marketing of wool. Plans will be made for the estab lishment of permanent trails through private lands from the na tional forest boundary to the John Day highway. The establishment of rest stations along the route and the ridding of ranges of wild horses will also be considered. 0. S. C. Plans School For Poultry Raisers A school for those wishing to qualify to administer the new chick en pox virus developed by Dr. W. T. Johnson of Oregon State college will again be given at that institu tion May 14 and 15. Arrangements were completed following adoption by the state livestock sanitary board of a rule that no one will be allowed to administer the virus without tak ing such training. Use of the pox virus as a preven tive against disease has proved highly satisfactory and has brought many inquiries to the state college from various sections of the United States and foreign countries. The new vaccine is what is known as a live virus, and is capable of produc ing the actual disease unless hand led by an experienced operator, even though the method is very simple. Unless a class of at least 15 signs up the school cannot be held, so It Is suggested that those interested communicate with the college at once. "CHARIOTS OF SALVATION." The above topic will be discussed at Hardman Sunday evening when the Church of Christ journeys to that place to hold the evening ser vice. All friends are invited to join the caravan and all Hardman folks are invited to attend the service. The morning service will be held here as usual and the sermon sub ject is, "The Meaning of Pentecost" Our Sunday school folks will have to take the contest a little more seriously if we are to have any chance to win. Halfway scored 2355 points Sunday to our 1165. On next Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Elmer G. Boyer, missionaries home from Africa on furlough, will be with us. Hear and meet them. MILTON W.
