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.

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.

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. runeral of Irrigon Man Held at Heppner Tuesday Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at the Christian church in this city for Richard L.
