Water Matters Interest
Council at May Meeting
Much of the time of the city
council at its May meeting Monday
evening was given over to a dis
cussion of water rates, with W. E.
Pruyn, watermaster, presenting
several questions as to methods of
charging. A flat monthly charge
for Are service in buildings was
discontinued, the council voting
that in case of fire service a charge
be made only for the cost to the
itv of installing the service and
the citys' cost of upkeep, but that
charge be made for the water
furnished, it being understood that
water through the service be used
for fire purposes only. Due to a
question of application of the new
10-cent rate for water after-a cer
tain amount has been used, it was
definitely announced that this rate
nnlies only to water used for ir
rigation. The city voted to furnish
water free to the rest rooms at, the
county tourist park.
Other business included the pay
ment of current expense bills and
reading and filing of the watermas-
ter's monthly report. It was an
nounced at the meeting that the
mayor would appoint a new city
boxing commission, the term of the
previous commission having expired.

Garden Projects Prove
Popular in All Oregon
People of Oregon are certainly
"garden minded" this year, Judging
from the unusual number or re
quests that have been sent to Ore
gon State college for bulletins and
other aids to vegetable growing. 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.

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. This win keeps Heppner
in the 1.000 percent column, as they
won the first league game from
lone.
Sammy toughed it out through
the sixth when three more hits and
couple of errors let in three more
Heppner scores, and then gave up
the heaving job to Mr. Jackson, on
whom two more hits and as many
runs were taken in the seventh and
eighth innings.
Charlie Wilcox did the chucking
for Heppner throughout, and did a
nice job of it, allowing but four
scattered hits, although striking
out but five batsmen. ' Jtine errors
by each team evened ffp the score
on this account, as Heppner won
the game on earned runs, 3-1.

rive. 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. Gentry in turn
scored on Robertson s single. Rob
ertson was caught at home at
tempting to score on a passed ball
and Rohrer died out to second base
In the seventh Aiken, after sing
ling and advancing as Ferguson
was hit by a pitched ball, Craw
ford's grounder was bobbled by C,
Hollen at short and Turner was
struck out, scored on Hayes' field
er's choice. Wilcox flied out to
short The last run was made in
the eighth by Rohrer, who with two
away, made first on Willimott s er
ror and scored on Aiken's single.
Condon Scores in Third.
Condon's first three runs were
bunched In the third inning, when.
with two away, J. Burns, R. Baker
and J. Baker crossed home plate
on one hit and a number of Hepp
ner errors. They next scored two
more runs In the fifth, the first of
these being by S. Baker whose two
base hit went for a home run when
Turner and Crawford ran together
in an attempt to catch it and lost
the ball in the mix-up. The other
was by J. Baker who made It home
on errors after singling. Their last
run came in the eighth by Ashen

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."

Heppner golfers again suffered
defeat at the hands of Pilot Rock

Fair weather prevailed through

ers, on the whole the Pilot Rock
aggregation had the best of it
Dr. Smith of Pilot Rock turned
