Subscription $2.00 a Year TURKEY GROWING in COITION Success o f Cooperative Told Lions by Doug las County Man. COACH CITES TEAM Football Boys Shaping; Up Well for Pendleton Game; State Chamber Secretary Coming Monday. . ' Success attained by the North west Turkeygrowers Cooperative 'Marketing association is indicative of what might be accomplished In the marketing of other farm pro duce, most notably lambs, McKln ley Huntington, Douglas county turkey grower and officer of the as sociation, told Heppner Lions at their Monday luncheon. The asso ciation's success was attributed to the coordination of N cooperative agencies through the Federal Farm Board set-up, systematic market reports by means of which unneces sary expense of distribution was eliminated, and standardizing the manner of marketing the birds so as to get them to the consumer in the best possible condition. Mr. Huntington said a like meth of of killing and dressing lambs be fore putting them on the market might well be considered by sheep men. Turkeys are one of very few farm commodities that are paying a fair return on investment this year, he said. And the nice part of it is they bring cash return on de livery. Mr. Huntington does not fear an overproduction of turkeys this year. While production in Oregon has in creased 15 per cent this year; Tex as; which produces more turkeys than all other states combined, has declined 10 per cent, and the en tire Oregon production will not equal the shortage of the Texas crop. The turkey specialist, who has been retained by the U. S. depart ment of agriculture extension serv ice, spoke to the Lions following a field demonstration at the Harold Rankin farm on Rhea creek in the morning. He was accompanied by Garnet Best, assistant county agent of Umatilla county, and together they went to Boardman for another field demonstration that afternoon. To let the county court know how it felt on the matter, the club went on record favoring the court using money from the county emer gency fund for the purpose of pay ing labor for cutting wood and dig ging potatoes which may be needed to meet the unemployment situa tion In the county this winter. Neil Shuirman, high school ath letic coach, appeared before the club, citing the good record made by the H. H. S. football team so far this season, and stressing the Im portance of the game with Pendle ton high's first team here a week from the coming Saturday. He al so urged attendance at the game with Arlington here today. In the first game Heppner lost to' Hermlston, but has since won from Lexington, Pilot Rock and Athena. The latetr game, played Saturday, ended in a 20-0 score. Pendleton beat Athena 23-6. Ac cording to dope, therefore, the local lads should have a good chance of downing the heavy lads from the Umatilla county seat At least they are working hard to this end, said the coach. The last game of the season will be played here against Hermiston on Armistice Day, and the coach expects his lads will re taliate their former defeat Announcement was made of the dinner being given Monday by the Heppner Rod and Gun club, at whloh H. L. Kelly, state game su pervisor, will speak on the "Ten Year Plan of game conservation In Oregon. A large majority of Lions present signified their Intention of attending. An open invitation to attend was extended to anyone In terested. Acceptance of an invitation by W. G. Ide, secretary of the state cham ber of commerce, to attend the meeting of the club next Monday, was read by Al Rankin, Morrow county director of the state cham ber. One minute of silence was ob served in honor of Thomas A. Edl son, news of whose death was re celved In the papers that morning. WELL KNOWN HERE. Spud Helms, state policeman who ' was shot at La Grande Sunday while attempting to capture two highwaymen wanted at Idaho Falls, Idaho, is well known in Heppner, He was shortstop for several sea sons with the Arlington baseball team, being with that aggregation last season, and part of one season played with the Heppner team. He was considered one of th best short' stops in the "bushes." Always a clean sportsman, news of his mis fortune was received with much regret here. CARD OF THANKS.

Hager and family. Athena Taken by Locals; Battle Arlington Today Heppner high school, football team defeated Athena 20-0 in a game played on the Athena field Friday - afternoon. After going through a scoreless first half the local boys opened up an attack of spanner and lateral pass plays that was responsible for the three touch downs and two conversions. This afternoon Heppner and Ar lington are playing on the local field. Coach Shuirman considers this game important because of the fact that lone is not on the Hepp ner schedule this season and Ar lington won one game and lost one game with them; the outcome of the game this afternoon giving some idea of the comparative strength of the Heppner and lone teams. The next game on the sched ule is slated to be played here a week from Saturday against Pen dleton high's first team.

The canned foods Include many vegetables such as peas, beans, veg etable stew, tomatoes, baby carrots, baby beets, greens; small fruits In cluding berries, cherries, apricots, peaches and apple sauce; and such meats as beef, veal and chicken.

STAR WITNESS packs a punch with pathos and humor, Star thea ter, Sunday-Monday. Money-Making Demonstrated to Don't market your turkeys until they are ready," is the advice giv en a group of turkey growers as sembled at the Harold Rankin farm on Rhea creek Monday morning, by McKinley Huntington, veteran tur key grower of Douglas county, in the course of a demonstration show ing the selection, sticking, and oth er fine points of growing and pre paring the birds for market He said that he had learned through years of experience that It does not pay to watch market reports, as the dealers always attempt to get the birds into their hands early for speculation. The real market never develops until about three days before the holiday. By paying attention to the birds and getting them on the market in prime con dition, the premium received in variably more than compensates the grower no matter what the market There are many little points in the preparation of turkeys for mar ket which are easily overlooked, but which should be given atten tion if the birds are to claim a pre mium price, said Mr. Huntington. "Turkeys are susceptible to light and if penned up in a lighted en closure wil mill around and pile up, causing injury to some of the birds. But if the enclosure is darkened they will remain quiet." He advised covering the sides of the pens with gunny sacks when the birds are to be caught, allowing no light beams Into the pen as even the light thru a knot hole will district the birds. The catching cage also should be darkened. He advised that a single section of the catching cage should not be more than six feet in length, with the lid not more than four feet, so that when one reaches in after a bird he covers the hole completely enough that there is little chance for a bird to jump out beside him. The bird, in being caught from the cage should be grabbed by both legs, as it will then offer little re sistance, whereas if caught by only one leg it will attempt to free itself and possibly break a wing or oth erwise Injure itself. Everything possible should be done to keep from unduly exciting the birds. Birds which are not ready should not be killed, he said. It is simple to tell when they are ready. The main points to be ascertained are If the bird is properly meated and if the feathers are developed as they should be. The meat on the breast is the best indication of the first condition. With a little ex perience one can tell Immediately by running the open hand along the breast whether tho meat is there. Then an examination of the base of the long feathers, and of the pin feathers will tell whether the blood is out of the feathers and whether the pin feathers have grown out sulllciently for picking. When the base of the feathers is blue the blood is still in them and they do not pluck easily. Whe,n the birds are right, tho bnso of the feathers is white, and the skin is a creamy white. The pin feathers should be State Game Supervisor To Speak Here Monday "The Ten Year Plan" of game conservation in Oregon, which, if carried through to a successful conclusion . will add $10,000,000 to the annual revenue of the state, in the opinion of its sponsor, ' H.

Henry Gorger was given a pleas ant surprise Sunday evening at his ranch home, the day being the an niversary of his birth. Cards were the diversion and later refresh ments were served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Johan Troedson, Mr. nad Mrs. Otto Lindstrom, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lindstrom, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rietmann, Messrs. Carl and Verner Troedson, Leo and Joe Gorger, James Farley, Clyde Lunny, Mrs. Willa Mina Ramsey, Miss Linea Troedson of Echo, and Mr. and Mrs. Gorger. Turkey Pointers Local Growers blossomed, for the easiest way to get the pin feathers out is to grow them out, Mr. Huntington said. In case the birds are not fatten ing properly, though proper rations are being given, it is well to exam ine the scales on the legs for mites. If mites are present in the flock they will be found under the leg scales, and if found, immediate steps for eradication should be tak en. Mites and lice on the birds make them fret and keep them from developing properly. Mr. Huntington's method of han dling the bird to be killed was to tie a string around the leg3 at the time of catching, leaving a short loop in the end by which to hang up the bird after it has been pluck ed. He demonstrated a simple stringing device of his own inven tion. Taking an ordinary fire brick, he fastened one end of a heavy, stiff wire, about 2 feet in length, around the middle, making a groove around the brick for the wire to fit into and fastening the wire quite tight On the other end he made a sharpened hook with the sharp ened end projecting outward, and bent over toward the brick, to hang from the lower jaw of the bird af ter it had been stuck. A few inches below the- hook, he made a loop in the wire to keep the hand from sliding into the hook after the wire had become slick from blood. A fire brick is just the proper weight, about 4 pounds, and the implement devised is very handy for when not in use it can be set down flat with the wire sticking up in easy reach, and to be easily found. To hang the bird up for sticking, Mr. Huntington used a light rope, hung from a cross beam, with a short, round stick in the end. This stick was slipped under the cord between the legs of the bird. Sim ple and-inexpensive, these devices were demonstrated to serve their purpose well. In sticking the bird, he used an ordinary turkey-sticking knife, the main requirements of which are a slender, stiff, sharp blade, long enough to reach well back into the bird's throat. There are two jugu lar veins in a turkey's throat one on either side, which come togeth er in a v-shaped rklge In the back of the mouth, he explained. That the bird may bleed properly it is necessary to sever both of these veins. Running the knife into the bird's mouth at an angle across the head, he severed each of the veins separately. The increased blood How indicates when tho sec ond vein has been cut, and by cut ting In this manner, one may be sure that both veins have been sev ered. To kill the bird, the knife was then run into the forepart of the brain, piercing the knife under one eye diagonally across the head to tho opposite ear. The turkey's brain is small, and sets well back in the head, he explained. The fore part of the brain is pierced because it results in slower death and long er heart action which Is desired (Continued on Page Six) PIONEERS TO MEET AT LEXSATURDAY Dinner and Program Set With Evening Dance; Everyone Invited.
