No doubt in that six months little Bob gained a great deal of wisdom by falling out of wagons, being scared by wild an imals, stepping on sharp weeds, stones or cactus while trailing along in the dust with his bare feet. "Little Robert and his sister Lu ella attended grade school at Bun ker Hill near Elmira during their early years in California and later Robert attended Hesperia college at Woodburn, Calif., from which he graduated with the highest hon ors, and for four years increased the intelligentsia in the country round about by becoming a full fledged school teacher." Teaching aspirations, however, according to this writer, were some what blasted when the young school master met up with the charming brunette and teaching was aban doned for the life of farm and ranch in Eastern Oregon. These people have been true pio neers of this community; their struggles throughout the years while bringing raw land into culti vation, order out of chaos, and go ing through all the labors and hard ships attendant thereto, has of course been but characteristic of those who with them built this lit tle empire.

Mr. Turner first engaged In the cattle business here, and this ven ture was not a financial success, his biographer stating that he pur chased the stock at $40 per head and after feeding them through several hard winters eventually dis posed of them at The Dalles for $10 apiece. Grain raising, sheep raising and butter making were other farm labors engaging the at tention of Mr. Turner and his good wife for successive years, but the members of the family reaching an age that required better school fa cilities, the farm home gave place to a home in Heppner, from which point Mr. Turner carried on with the farm for many years, later re tiring when his sons took over the ranch properties.

New OSC Station Bulletin Deals With Fish and Game Parasites of one kind or another have been found in every important species of game fish which occurs in Oregon, although in most Instances these parasites do no serious dam age if present only in small num bers, says a new bulletin published by the Oregon State college experi ment station, entitled "Some Dis eases of Oregon Fish and Game and Identification of Parts of Game An imals." The mere finding of para sites in fish and game, it goes on to say however, should not be reason for condemnation for food, as all meat-producing animals serve as hosts for parasites. The new bulletin reports results of studies of problems concerned with diseases of Oregon fish and game some of which were begun as early as 1925, by the department of veterinary medicine at O. S. C. in cooperation with the Oregon State Game commission. Authors are Dr. J. N. Shaw, Dr. B. T. Simms and O. H. Muth of the veterinary medicine department. Some of the fish eating birds are known to be carriers of parasites which live a part of their lives in fish, the bulletin says, and such birds may severely contaminate lakes and streams. Because life cycles of many fish parasites are still unknown, further studies will be necessary if control measures are to be worked out.
