The West lone Erosion Control district was formed at lone Satur day at a meeting of farmers of Morrow and Gilliam counties. The district includes the land in town ships 1 north and 1 south between the state highway leading through lone and Eightmile canyon. The following men signed as members of the association: J. B. Morrison, Alfred Odom, Leon Logan, James Lindsay, N. E. Pettyjohn, Cecil Thome, A. E. Stefani, R. Ekleberry, E. C. Heliker, J. O. Kincaid and Peter Timm. C. E. Hill, with the Soil Conser vation service at Pullman, discussed cultivation methods used in other blow sections which have been suc cessful in holding the soil. The main point in controlling blows, Mr. Hill said, was to maintain trash and litter on the surface of the ground and not to turn it under. Any method which will accomplish this aim will be of great value in hold ing the land. One difficulty our farmers in the past have had in maintaining trash on the surface has been the difficulty of keeping down weeds in the summer fallow. Until the introduction of the ro tary rod weeder, rp.flh on the sur face was a serious handicap in weeding. With the rotary rods, however, it is possible to do a good job when the summer fallow is in a very trashy condition. Until the accumulation of this trash gets too heavy hoe drills will probably be adequate. However, in Mr. Hill's opinion, it will probably be neces sary for some farmers to change to the double disc drill with either seven or eight inch spacing. Mr. Hill emphasized that the present problem in the blow area is of an emergency nature and any means of roughing the soil sufficiently to prevent soil shifting is effective. However, when we do get stubble, he said, we should see to it that any cultural methods we use should leave this stubble on top. R. B. Rice, Lexington, discussed the trip taken to Douglas county, Washington, last spring by mem bers of the directing committee of the North Lexington Erosion Con trol district and explained the farm ing methods used in that area for holding blows. Alfred Nelson, Lexington, des cribed the work which is being dono in his section of an emergency na ture for holding land. Mr. Neson emphasized the necessity for coop eration on the part of all the farm ers if really effective blow control is to be realized. Henry V. Smouse, lone, chairman of the district committee of the North Lexnigton Ersion Control district, explained some of the work which his district has done this yeai and the results which have been ac complished.

M., were present last night at a meeting of lone Lodge No. 120, when the lone lodge received the travelling trowel from Stanfield Lodge No. 173. Cer emonies of presentation were Im pressive, the script used having been prepared by Frank Sloan of Stanfield, district deputy grand master for the Ibth district, Fol lowing the meeting the lone mem bers served bounteous refreshments. Present from Heppner were W. O Dix, John Her, S. P. Devin, R. C Wightman, J. J. Wightman, C. J. D. Bauman, P. M. Gemmell, Fred Lucas, L. L. Gilliam, E. E. Gilliam, Frank S. Parker, Harold Buhman, J. O. Turner, W. E. Pruyn and Spencer Crawford. Lexington mem bers of Heppner lodge also attend ing were Lawrence L. Beach, Geo, N. Peck, R. B. Rice, Karl G. Mil ler and C. R. McAlister. IN DEEP ri 1 km l , E Cooperation of Owners Asked by City in Pre paring for Sprayer. Death to elm tree beetles, and preservation of Heppner's shade trees vital to comfort of her citi zens in the summertime is the aim of a widespread spraying campaign to be pushed immediately by the city, announces Mayor Jeff Jones. Money for the beetle eradication was provided in the city budget for the year. But cooperation of citi zens is asked, in topping out their trees to a height not to exceed 25 feet. The beetles are a real menace to the city'3 shade trees, and they must be controlled if the trees are to be preserved, says Mayor Jones. Attempts at control in past years have been made through voluntary cooperation of individual tree own ers. But failure of individuals here and there to cooperate nullified the efforts and expenditure of money of those who sprayed their own trees. On infected elm tree, left un- sprayed, is sufficient to soon con taminate the trees which have been sprayed, and because of this fact the efforts of those who have tried to kill off the pests were al most hopeless. . The booster tank on the city fire truck will be rigged up as a sprayer for the campaign, and it is the in tention to spray thoroughly every elm tree in the city. The best time for snravin is said to be at the time the trees first be gin to leaf out Thorough spray ing at this time will kill most of the pests, and if this spraying is followed up by a second spraying as soon as the leaves are all out, 100 percent eradication may be expect ed. If elm tree owners will cooper ate to the extent of topping out their trees to the required height, the work will be greatly facilitated, the mayor says. A few years ago the town of Lex ington staged a concerted spray ing campaign against the elm bee tles, which had gained strong hold of the trees there, and since the campaign the town has been free of the pest, it has been reported. Annual Music Festival Slated for May Day Fete Headlining attractions for the an nual all-county school May Day fete again this year will be the music festival to be presented in the eve ning, announces Miss Mae Doherty, publicity chairman for the event. Special stress is being given the event, with all schools preparing to participate. One of the largest combined choruses ever to be heard in the county will be assembled. Band, orchestra and vocal music of all kinds, featuring the best music talent of the schools, will provide what is hoped to be the outstand ing musical event of the season. More detailed information on the May Day event will be given next week. Town Team to Push Season Ticket Sale Support of the local ball club through purchase of season tick ets to be offered for sale by club members this week will be greatly appreciated, announces Gordon Bucknum, business manager. Bucknum says a wealth of ma terial is turning out regularly for practice with promise of the strong est club in years. Announcement of the line-up will be made next week for the opening league game with lone here the 26th. NOTICE TO WATER USERS, As the spring run-off is on it is necessary for each user to limit himself to the amount of water allotted to him by the decree of 1910.

The temperature to in sure success should range from 5 below to 5 above zero. In prepar ing meats proper care, I. e. ripen ing in cooler, cutting in suitable pieces, wrapping, labeling, etc., was described. Miss Case places special emphasis on proper precaution against bot ulinus poisoning, consisting of boil ing all non-acid vegetables, meats and fish for twenty minutes after opening the jar, the contents of which should never be tasted until this is done. A demonstration was given of canning in tin cans.

Here warmness or coolness In color, in the general background tone run ning through all furnishings was emphasized.

SAVING SOIL IS AIM Ail Information Available to be Disseminated; Old AAA Dis tricts Basis for New Set-XJp. The new soil conservation and domestic allotment plan will be the subject of a series of community meetings to be held in Morrow county next week. While there are still many unanswered questions as to permissable practices under the new plan, and still some uncertain ty as to the amount of payment per acre on particular farms, it was felt that these meetings should not be postponed further. The new soil conservation plan is intended to be exactly what the name implies. Payments for prac tices adopted under this plan the oretically represent the value to the nation as a whole of soil building or soil conservation practices put into operation or particular farms. Obviously, in a country as large as the United States it is a tremendous task to develop a complete set of regulations covering all conditions in the short time that has elapsed since the passage of the act All information available at the present time will be given out at the community meetings listed be low. At these meetings, also, local committees will be elected, the chairman of which will be a direct or of the county association. The old AAA wheat districts will be used as a basis for organization under the new plan and in addi tion Boardman and Irrigon will form additional separate districts. The following is a schedule of meetings to be held. So far as prac ticable each man should attend his own district meeting. This is de sirable for two reasons. First, for the election of a' community com mittee and second, to allow more time for individual questions.
