To meet this Increased demand the ex tension service has just reprinted one bulletin, "The Farm Vegetable Garden," the supply of which was exhausted, and has issued a new one, "Growing Fall and Early Win ter Vegetables." Both of these bulletins are by A, G. B. Bouquet, professor of veget able gardening, who is supplement ing these and other of his publica tions by a series of radio talks on gardening which are being heard every Friday during the noon hour over KOAC, the college radio sta tion. Gardening this year is being fur thered in many counties through definite projects of the county ag ents and home demonstration ag ents who have enrolled many hun dreds of farmers and others in program of year-around garden production. Those who enroll re ceive monthly letters giving sugges tions for timely garden activities, It is hoped by this method to in crease production and use of veg otablcs, encourage home preserva tion of foods and promote exchange of surplus production.

With Condon in the lead 4-2 in the fifth inning, Heppner's lads slammed out Sammy Baker's of ferings for five hits and as many runs to take a winning lead in the second Wheatland league game played at Rodeo field Sunday, win ning finally 11-6. The weather was not promising at game time, and the crowd out to see the game was small, but those who did see it found enough of excitement to loos en up their vocal chords in a lusty manner.

Rohrer in turn stole second and third and scored on Paul Aik en's sacrifice fly to right field. Ray Ferguson's roller was taken by Ash enfelter at second and tossed to first for the final put-out. That's all there was till the fifth when successive hits by Turner, Hayes and Wilcox, combined with a couple of fielders' errors allow ed all three to score. Gentry filed out to midfield. Robertson and Rohrer singled and Aiken laid down fielder's choice to fill the bases and Robertson scored on another fielder's choice by Ferguson. This little melee ended by Crawford driving one Into Willimott's mitt at third, Willimott making a double by crossing the plate before Roh rer could return. In the sixth Turner again led off, taking first when C. Hollen bobbled his grounder, advanced on Hayes ngle. and both scored on Uentry s single after Wilcox had taken the strikeout count.

Funeral services ARTICHOKES MORE THAN "HOG FEED" RANKIN DECLARES Al Rankin, who was responsible for feeding the Lions club Jerusa lem artichokes recently, has called the Gazette Times on the carpet for calling the vegetables "hog feed." Admitting that's what they are mostly grown for down on the Boardman project, he quoted an ar ticle in the Oregon Journal of Sun day written by Bradley W. Trent, in which A. A. De Bole of Pecos, Texas, is quoted as giving this par ticular tuber high praise. Mr. De Bole was quoted as saying: "Last year I had more orders for artichokes than I could handle. I talk Jerusalem artichokes upon ev ery occasion that I can, not in or der to sell them, but to educate the people so that the farmer, the man with a little bit of land, the house wife, the baker, the restaurant owner, the commission merchant can realize the value of the im proved French mammoth white Je rusalem artichoke. "It isn't an artichoke at all," he continued, "and it doesn't have any thing to do with Jerusalem. It's a species of sunflower, of American origin. Champlain found the In dians eating it, and took America's first native vegetable back to the French gardener and farmer. To day upward of 500,000 acres are giv en over to it in France, but largely as food for cattle. For three centuries the Jerusa lem artichoke was lost to the Amer ican people, but 15 years ago Joseph bley of Franklin, Pa., representa tive in congress, diabetes sufferer and former associate of John D. Rockefeller, had the vision and the courage to spend a lot of time and money in this vegetable's develop ment. This root of a seedless sunflow er contains no starch and it pro duces a sugar that is sweeter, bet ter and healthier than the best ta ble sugar known today. The gov ernments experimental station at Arlington has produced from one acre of those artichokes 4000 pounds of levulose, which has sold at from $30 to $110 a pound for use in the treatment of diabetes. A ton of artichokes will produce about 600 pounds of non-starch flour." ilot Rock Again Beats Locals at Match Golf Heppner golfers again suffered defeat at the hands of Pilot Rock when the visitors took the matched play tournament here Sunday, 29-19.

Mr. Walker thanked the Heppner Lions for assisting through their large turnout in giving him such a warm welcome at the recent get together meeting in Arlington, and outlined ways in which Lions might better serve their communities. It is the aim of Lionism to do every thing in its power to foster better community spirit and to work for civic improvement through spon sorship of projects. The Lions should not be called upon to finance entirely the projects they under take, but should provide the spirit and leadership required to put them across, he said.
