Market reports since January,
1930, have been featured frequently
and successively by the comment,
"Prices lower because of too many
lambs."
Slaughter figures recently releas
ed by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture tell us that slaughter of
lambs from the 1930 lamb crop was
much the largest for all lantb crops
ever raised. The total inspected
slaughter of lambs and sheep for
the crop marketing year from May
1, 1930, to April 30, 1930, was 17,
000,000 head, an increase of more
than 2,000,000 head over the pre
vious crop year and nearly 2,000,-
000 head larger than in the crop
year 1913-14, which was the pre
vious record year. The proportion
of sheep slaughtered during the
1530-31 marketing year was the
smallest or all years, and tne actual
number slaughtered was about a
quarter of a million head smaller
than in 1929-30, although total
slaughter of lambs and sheep was
2,000,000 larger.
Realizing the hopelessness of pro
ceeding further in the production of
lambs under the existing system,
the Oregon Wool Growers' associa
tion in cooperation with the Na
tional Wool Growers' association,
the National Live Stock and Meat
Board, and the Colorado-Nebraska
Lamb Feeders' association has
launched a thoroughly sound, well
organized campaign to increase the
demand for lamb meat so that Ore
gon sheep raisers will not be con
fronted with this condition of over
supply and under-consumption with
the resulting ruinous prices.
The purpose of this organization
is to bring together into a unity of
purpose all of the sheep raisers of
the state and others interested in
the solution of this important prob
lem of their Industry. The move
ment has already received wide
support of sheep producers, bank
ers, and others interested in the fu
ture of the sheep industry and with
this group banded together in an
organization to effectively and sci
entifically set about to increase the
demand for lamb meat throughout
the whole United States, tremen
dous advantage is bound to accrue
to lamb producers and feeders. The
movement is national in scope
To bring this program which Is
aimed at the increased consump
tion of lnmb meat to the attention
of wool growers, bankers and oth
ers interested, the Oregon Eat
More Lamb" club will hold a meet
ing at Heppner on Monday, July 6,
at 1:30 p. ni., at Elks Temple.
In attendance at this meeting
will be Erie Uacey of Dallas, Texas,
originator of the plan, and Fred
Phillips, president of the Oregon
Wool Growers' association. It is
very likely that Frank J. Hagen-
bnith, president of the National
Wool Growers' association, will al
so participate in these meetings.
day were treated. While Fossil bag
ged the game, 15-7, and loose play
ing in quantities was in evidence as
comparison of scores indicates,
Heppner had a one-run advantage
on actual earned runs, 3-2,
Principals in the double-play ex
hibition were Bobby Turner, Roy
Gentry and Roderick Thomson,
shortstop, second baseman and first
sacker respectively for Heppner.
The play came as an eye-opener in
the first inning, putting a stop to
what promised to be a wild inning
when Fossil s two batsmen, both
of whom had been whiffed by Wil
cox, made first base on dropped
third strike balls and scored on
Layman's hit. Turner took Kel
say's grounder, tossing it to Gentry
to nab Layman, and Gentry made
a nice throw to Thomson to catch
Kelsay.
Gordon Bucknum, youngster
third sacker for Heppner who oth
erwise is entitled to glory for the
nice handling of several hard
chances, made the shoestring catch
which brought him a hand from the
stands. He took J. Van Horn's hot
drive off the right-hand shoestring
in the sixth inning, making a pretty
dive with his gloved left hand to
stop the speeding, curving ball.
Jackson, Fossil lead-off, is cred
ited with the home run, a long drive
into left field in the fourth inning,
which also scored Sasser, who had
walked. Bobby Turner and O'-
Rourke hit the triple-baggers, Tur
ner's scoring two and O'Rourke's
three runners,
These were features which made
the game interesting to fans, who
further expressed themselves thru
exceptionally lively ragging of the
umpires, McCrady for Heppner and
Doc" for Fossil. Altogether more
jaw-bone" was exhibited than in
any game participated in by Hepp
ner this year. Causing tne most
prominent display by spectators
was a technical out in the fifth inn-
ng when Umpire McCrady called
Tipley of Fossil out for interfering
with Firstbaseman Thomson when
the latter attempted to catch a fly
ball. The put retired the side, and
Fossil fans took vociferous excep
tion. The score on technical outs
was evened in the seventh when
McCrady called Bobby Turner out
for hitting his own bunted ball with
his foot while running to first.
Heppner's scores came one In the
second, two in the third and five In
the fifth innings; Fossil's came two
in the first, three In the fourth, two
in the fifth, five in the sixth and
three in the eighth innings. Box

American Legion Boys Team Seen
In Action; Long Hits Show
Promise of Strength.
Some inkling of what may be ex
pected of the Morrow County Amer
ican Legion Junior baseball team
when they meet Pendleton in the
district series was given fans at
Rodeo field Tuesday evening when
the boys played the Lexington town
team. While losing the game 11-13,
the juniors held the lead up to the
ninth inning, and it was necessary
for the older boys to knuckle down
to business to keep from losing.
Dallas Ward, home on vacation
from his coaching position with
Marshall high school In Minneapo
lis where his team just finished
winning a championship after los
ing but one game 2-0, went into the
box in the seventh inning and bore
down on the youngsters long
enough to give tie older boys a
chance to get in the lead. He re
lieved Warner, whose easy deliver
ies were being murdered.
While the town team was giving
the juniors only a practice game
and with exception of the time not
ed made little attempt to strike the
boys out, the juniors showed con
siderable strength at bat. Burl
Akers hit safely aech of his five
trips up, and he and Joe Engelman
each clouted a home run. Francis
Ely, who pitched most of the game
for the boys and was credited with
10 strikeouts, knocked a three-bagger,
while Curtis Thmoson and E.
Lundell laid out two-base drives.
Coach Shuirman, too, did not
work the juniors with an idea of
winning the game, but shifted his
players regardless of the play to
get a line on the best prospects for
the various positions. It was not
possible for all the juniors trying
for the team to be out and Shuir
man does not expect to pick the
squad until just before the Pendle
ton series.

Sign-Up Insufficient Last Evening;
Programs Leave Favorable
Impression Generally.
Morrow county's 1931 free chau
tauqua which closed Tuesday night
was attended by record crowds at
all performances. The large tent
was packed for the opening Satur
day evening to witness "The Big
Push," an hilarious comedy play of
family life presented by Bob Pol
lard and his company. The plays,
as usual, proved to be headline at
tractions with second largest at
tendance witnessing "Kibitzer," an
other popular comedy production
given Monday evening.
Uncertainty still prevails as to
whether the big tent will return
next year, with the sign-up of spon
sors insufficient for the contract to
be signed last evening. Miss Fisk,
representative of the Chautauqua
company, has remained over In the
county today to contact more peo
ple who might be interested in help
ing bring chautauqua another year.
The financial obligations this year
were well taken care of with a
small balance remaining In the
treasury of the local chautauqua as
sociation.
With tearing down of the big tent
Tuesday evening all the work of the
local association was taken care of,
including return of borrowed chairs
and lumber, with the exception of
the platform lumber. All commit
tees worked well, says J. W. Hlatt
secretary, who extends the thanks
of the executive committee to all
who helped do the work. The
grounds committee was cited as de
serving of special recognition, he
said.
Comments heard on every hand
express satisfaction with the pro
grams on the whole. Making espec
ially favorable impressions upon
their audiences were Jean Macdon
ald, 'The Marie Dressier of Can
ada," whose likeable personality
and gift at entertainment were
shown in her program Monday af
ternoon, and The De Willo Concert
company, featured Tuesday after
noon, which responded to many en
cores.
The Lombards, radio entertaln
s appearing Sunday afternoon
and evening, were probably no less
captivating with their variety pro
gram of music and recitation. John
E. Aubrey, noted educator, and
Morris Anderson, mayor of Mark
Twains' home town, lawyer and ex-
footballist, gave meaty messages
that were well received.
