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.

Marathon Tractor Run

With two world's endurance rec
ords for tractors already broken
and a third In prospect, a Caterpil
lar 10 tractor operated by the agri
cultural engineering department at
Oretton State college was still grind
ing away early this week. At the
end of the 13th day of continuous
operation day and night it had bro
ken the 168 hour world's record for
small tractors, and the 240 hour
record for 30 horsepower machines
The endurance run is under offi
cial observation of both the agricul
tural and engineering schools of the
college and data are being gathered
by automatic recording Instruments
on draft engine revolutions, fuel
and water consumption, distance
travelled, track water and adjust
ments. As part of the work the ma
chine has completely cultivated a
130 acre prune orchard doing work
on the college farm.
TO ENTEKTAIN MOTHERS.
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

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.

Morrow County Leader
C. M. T. C. 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.
The eight-legged lamb, born at
the Hynd brothers ranch at Cecil,
which died a short time later, was
mounted by E. F. Gonty of Port
land, taxidermist and former resi
dent of Heppner, and is now on
display In the window of the First
National bank.
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. BOWER, Minister.

Rural schools have been criticiz
ed for administrative and teaching
weaknesses, but they offer an excel
lent chance for fine teaching work.

Be Sure to See This
John Deere Rod Weeder
This efficient tillage tool is a real time
saver and profit-maker for the farmer who
wants to destroy weeds on a big scale.
It is furnished in six sizes: the 8-, 10
and 12-foot sizes for use with either horses
or tractor, with or without rear raising
device and transport wheels; the 16-foot
single-unit double drive, and the 20- and
21-foot double-unit right- and left-hand
drive Weeders for use with Tractor.
A flexible tractor hitch is furnished for
the double-unit Weeders as well as for the
other tractor-drawn Weeders. This flex
ibility is a very desirable feature, especially
when the Rod Weeder is used in uneven
ground.
You'll like the way the John Deere gets
the weeds. The high carbon steel rod re
volves at a depth of two inches or more,
rooting out the weeds and grass, leaving
the fields clean.
In fields subject to soil drifting, the use
of a rod weeder will reduce drifting to a
minimum.
