CASABA BOYS WILL
DECIDE TITLE HERE
Eight Teams to Compete
In District Tourna
ment Next Week.
HEPPNER GETS "BYE"
Mac HI or Pendleton Also Assured
A Place; Sub-Tourneys Being
Held at Umatilla and Helix.
The high school basketball cham
pionship of Morrow, Umatilla and
Gilliam counties will be decided in
Heppner next week end, and the
championship team will represent
the three counties in the state
tournament to be held later in Sa
lem. Sub-district tournaments are
being held this week end at Helix
and Umatilla to decide what teams
will compete in the district tourna
ment to be held here. Due to a
recent ruling of the board of di
rectors for the district, Heppner
will enter the district tournament
without having to compete in the
sub-district meet. The ruling is to
the effect that the team of the
town in which the tournament is
held automatically has the priv
ilege of competing in the tourna
ment. Either Pendleton or Mac Hi will
also draw a 'bye" for placement in
the district tournament, the other
to compete in the sub-district tour
nament at Helix. The first, second
and third place winners in each of
the subdistrict tournaments are en
titled to compete in the' district
tournament, making a total of
eight games that will come to Hepp
ner next week end.
In the first round of games start
ing at Umatilla tomorrow, in which
Morrow county will participate, the
teams are matched as follows: lone
vs. Hermiston, Arlington vs. Uma
tilla, Stanfleld vs. Condon; Lexing
ton vs. Irrigon. Favored to win
placements for the district tourna
ment from showing made during
the season are Lexington, Umatilla
and lone, though competition is ex
pected to be keen.
Competing at Helix at the .same
time will be Helix, Umapine, Pilot
Rock, Echo, Weston, Adams, Athe
na, and Pendleton or Mac Hi.
The same order of games will be
followed in both the sub-district
and district tournaments. Two
games will be played Friday morn
ing at 10 and 11 o'clock, two games
Friday atternoon at 2 and 3 o'
clock, two games Friday evening
at 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock, and the
final games Saturday evening at
7:30 and 8:30 o'clock. The winners
of the two games Friday morning
will meet in the first game Friday
evening, and the winners of the
two games Friday afternoon . will
meet in the second game Friday
evening. The losers of the two
games Friday evening will meet in
the first game Saturday evening to
vie for the consolation champion
ship, and the winners of the two
games Friday evening will meet in
the second game Saturday evening
to compete for the championship.
Hppner will play the third place
team of district one, to be decided
at the Helix tournament, at 3 o'
clock Friday afternoon, in the dis
trict tournament here. The order
of play with the various teams
competing and the teams they will
be matched against will be an
nounced immediately following the
sub-district frays.
Heppner first entertained the dis
trict tournament three years ago,
and because of the excellent facil
ities offered and the fine support
given, it was agreed to bring the
tournament here every three years.
The tournament is on a self-supporting
basis, the teams drawing
only so much expense money as the
gate receipts afford, after other ex
penses have been paid. Before,
Heppner's receipts were sufficient
to pay all expenses in full, and it
is the hope that this may again be
the case. The tournament will be
operated at less cost this year but
admission prices have also been
lowered, making good public sup
port necessary to guarantee the
tournament's success.

NEW FORDS HERE SOON.
Recent announcement by Ford
Motor company that it will put an
eight-cylinder Ford on the market
In addition to the four-cylinder
Model A, and that it will start its
plants to booming to reach a goal
of 1,800,000 new cars this year has
been music to the ears of depressed
business. So far the nature of the
new cars has been kept a dark se
cret, but a news dispatch from De
troit under date of the 27th gives
some inkling of what they will be
like. It was stated that the bodies
will be streamline with V-type ra
diator and slanting windshield. The
bodies wlll.be longer, wider and
lower, it is said. The Ignition key
has been switched to the steering
post, and the gasoline tank to the
rear. Wheels are larger with heav
ier tires and bigger hub caps. It
is also said they will attain a speed
of 80 miles an hour, and are built
to run at 65 to 70 miles. The gas
consumption of the eight is said to
be practically the same as the four.
Announcement that Ford, expected
to start Bhlpping final parts in a
few days led Latourell Auto com
pany, local dealers, to believe that
they may have somo of the new
cars to show before long.

Fifteen Members fo Heppner Club
Fifteen Members of Heppner Club
Banquet and Program.
Fifteen members of the Heppner
Lions club attended a regional con
ference of the service organization
held at Arlington last Thursday
evening. Representatives were also
present from Hood River, The
Dalles and Arlington. Present
were Fred Walker of Springfield,
district governor of Oregon, and
Teunis J. Wyers of Hood River,
district deputy governor, who call
ed the meeting to order.
Fifty service club members sur
rounded the banquet table at the
Vendome hotel shortly after 6 o'
clock, enjoyed the good fellowship,
singing, and snappy music provid
ed by the Oregon Wranglers of The
Dalles, a musical organization fash
ioned after the Arizona gang of ra
dio fame, sponsored by The Dalles
club.
Passed unanimously was a reso
lution urging the early completion
of the Wallula cut-off road present
ed by Chas. W. Storey on behalf of
the Arlington club. Outstanding
was the spirited address of Francis
Galloway, Wasco county district
attorney of The Dalles, who force
fully plead for harnessing the Co
lumbia river for the purpose of de
veloping hydro-electric energy. The
power of 400,000,000 men flows un
restricted on to the sea at Oregon's
doorstep; It could be developed at
a cost of $415,000,000, much less
than the United States spends in
one year to maintain her agencies
of war; the development would
create a vast industrial empire sec
ond to none, one of the greatest In
strumentalities of peace. Russia's
vast industrial development is a
threat to the economic stability of
the United States , . . the next great
war will not be a war of armies
but of factories.
These are glimpses of the picture
given the Lions by "tifi -Galloway.
Other glimpses: Backing up the
waters of the Columbia 330 feet
above the present level, resulting
in the inundation of present city of
Arlington 50 feet, to create a large
body of placid water which could
be traversed far inland by seago
ing vessels, and in and on which
water sports of all kinds would
find a Utopian setting; the erec
tion of terminal facilities at the
doorstep of the producing sections
at which seagoing vessels would
load and unload cargoes.
He cited the government regula
tions governing river development
placing transportation first in Im
portance, with i rrigatlon, hydro
electric energy and flood control
given lesser importance, declaring
the order should be reversed so as
to make hydro-electric energy of
prime importance.
He condemned the government
agencies which have kept concealed
the engineers' report of the survey
made of the river at a large cost
to taxpayers, and upon the recom
mendations and figures of which
depends obtaining of a market for
the hydro-electric energy and the
consequent development of the riv
er. He explained, as he had gath
ered it from the newspapers, the
various proposals of dam consrtuc
tion known as Series A, B, C, D and
E, each of which proposals con
templates development of the en
tire river, he said, the only differ
ence being In the number of dams
and their location. He condemned
provincialism and the mad scram
ble to get some dam built first as
being detrimental to the interests
of all.

conference were C. W. Smith,

COUNTY AGENT
TELLS HOW TO
COMBATDISEASE
(Editor's Note: Considerable loss
has been sustained In Morrow coun
ty the last two years from the trou
ble cited in this article, and farm
ers whose hogs have been afflicted
should welcome the timely informa
tion given. It might well be clipped
for reference.)
The socalled swine disease which
causes the pigs to lose their appe
tite, to lose flesh, their skin to turn
red and eventually to die, can be
prevented to a large extent if a
balanced ration is fed during the
early life of the pigs, says C. W.
Smith, county agent. A careful in
vestigation .and study of the condi
tions on the farms where losses of
pigs occurred during 1931 showed
that for the most part the pigs had
not received a properly balanced
ration during the early period of
their life.
While wheat is considered to be
one of the very best fattening feeds
that one can give a pig, it has a
wide nutritive ratio, is low in min
eral content and is one of the low
protein feeds, therefore it is not
considered a good growing ration if
fed to growing .animals without
some protein supplement However,
if protein and mineral supplements
are fed with wheat in the right pro
portions it can be utilized to a very
good advantage by all growing ani
mals with excellent results.
On one of the farms where a
large percentage of the pigs had
died In 1930 strict sanitation such
as disinfecting the sheds, washing
the sow's udder with soap and
warm water and moving her . to
clean ground just before she far
rowed was practiced in 1931 with
the result that healthy pigs were
raised to maturity when sanitation
was practiced and a balanced ration
fed on grounds where sick pigs had
run the year before, proving that it
is not contagious.
"It is my desire to get everyone
to feed as much of the home grown
products, especially wheat, as is
possible, therefore I wish to help
you avoid any pitfalls and for that
reason I call to your attention the
fact that wheat alone cannot be fed
successfully to growing pigs for a
long period of time without harm
ful results," says Mr. Smith. A
growing animal should receive ' a
ration which when analyzed con
tains One part protein to five parts
or thereabouts of carbohydrates or
carbohydrate equivalent. These
feeds of course must have around
four per cent ash for best results.
Hair, hoofs, skin, blood and muscle
are made from the protein feeds,
fatty tissue and body heat from
carbohydrates and fats while the
ash or minerals are used for mak
ing bones. According to Henry
and Morrison, Pacific Northwest
wheat on an average contains 7.3
percent crude protein, 69.1 percent
carbohydrates and 1.4 percent fat,
while a growing animal should get
at least 1(9 percent protein. One can
readily see that when a growing pig
Is receiving nothing but wheat in
it's diet that there is not enough
protein being fed and that the pig
cannot develop normally.
Many of the experiment stations
have been carrying on experiments
of feeding wheat to swine, keeping
In mind the fact that a ration must
be as low in price as is possible if
pigs are to be raised at a profit.
California experiment station at
Davis which has boon doing con
siderable investigational work on
this subject, recommends that one
part of alfalfa meal be mixed with
15 parts of ground wheat for the
purpose of adding bulk and vita
mines to tho ration. On farms
where there is a large supply of
skim milk available no other pro

SUB JECIOF DEBATE
Proposed Project Dis
cussed by Lions Club;
Says Need Exists.
GRANGERS GUESTS
Wlcklander Organizes New Unit In
Lena District, Says This Region
High In Dues Payment
"Resolved, that a farmers' ex
change day should be held In Hepp
ner." That i the subject debated
at the Monday noon luncheon of
the Heppner Lions club with Chas.
W. Smith, county agent taking the
affirmative and Paul L. Marble the
negative. Guests present included
Charles Wicklander, district or
ganizer of the grange, Mrs. Oscar
Lundell, president of Willows
grange and lecturer of Morrow
county pomona, and F. A. McMa
hon, state policeman.
The debate was held to throw
light on one of the projects being
considered by the board of direct
ors of the Lions club, and the sides
were allotted the participants re
gardless of personal beliefs with
the idea of establishing the feasi
bility of such a project
Mr. Smith argued for the affirma
tive that the establishment of such
a day with facilities provided for
the free exchange of articles be
tween farmers would foster a feel
ing of good will between town and
country, and that there is a demand
for the establishment of such a
day. At the present time his office
sends monthly bulletins to granges
and trade centers of the county
which includes a list of articles that
farmers have to sell or exchange.
This service is in large demand, he
said. He . also cited the free ser
vice offered by the Gazette Times
of publishing free of charge notices
of articles and commodities wished
to be exchanged for other articles
or commodities where no money la
involved In the transaction.
Mr. Marble raised the objection
that nothing had been offered by
the affirmative as to the method of
conducting the exchange; that it
might be difficult to get someone
I to supervise it and that there was
no assurance it would work. He
said there was the probability that
if it did prove successful it might
encourage the bulk of trading to
come on the day the exchange was
conducted, working a hardship on
merhants thereby. No vote was
cast as to who won the debate.
Mr. Wicklander spoke briefly on
the work of the grange, giving as
the reason for his visit to Heppner
at the time in company with Mrs.
Lundell, the establishment of a
new grange in the Lena district
He said that the eastern Oregon
district of which he is organizer
has the best record of dues pay
ment of any district in the state.
He called attention to the fact that
anyone sympathetic to the interests
of agriculture could be a member
and urged Heppner business men
to consider the matter of aligning
with the organization.
A report of the regional confer
ence at Arlington, attended by 15
members of the local club last
Thursday was made by Jasper
Crawford, secretary. Mr. McMa
hon told one of his enjoyable Swede
stories. Miss Charlotte Woods pre
sided at the piano.
