Orville Cutsforth, in the city yes
terday, said the grain was begin
ning to show green on many of the
blow spots on hia large farming
operations in the Lexington vicin
ity. While the grain had been
thinned, he believed the weeds had
been thoroughly killed, thus lend
ing verity to the adage that it is an
ill wind indeed that brings naught
of good. Further evidence that the
wind was not all bad was cited in
the Instance of the Lundell creek
farm near lone. Large deposits of
silt, left by the earlier flood waters,
had covered up the alfalfa, and the
wind came along to move the silt
on and leaving the field in good
condition again.
Walter Rietmann, in the city
Monday from the north lone sec
tion, estimated that 500 acres of his
place had been blown out in storms
recently. Almost continuous dust
for several days, which covered
things inside the house as well as
outside, made living conditions ex
tremely disagreeable. Actual hard
ship was encountered when one was
at work in the field and a blow
started, he said. He hoped the grow
ing grain would assist in keeping
the blows down. He believed one
cure for the blows lies in cutting
up the larger fields and leaving
strips of stubble to help hold them
in bounds.
Bert Johnson, in the city Tues
day from lone, was one of the heav
ier sufferers from recent blows as
his farm home was almost covered
up by the shifting dirt. In the early
days of the blow, he tunneled into
the house one night to sleep in his
bed. The next night he didn't have
the heart to wade through it, so he
called at the home of Ralph Akers,
a neighbor. Finding no one there,
he helped himself to a bed. Since
then he has been busy digging out
from under. The dirt still shifts
whenever the wind blows, Bert
says, and prospects are not very
bright.
Three leading lady democrats of
Umatilla county were calling on
members of the faith in this city
Friday. They were Eva Nelson,

tional convention from the second

Snow Surveys Big Help
In Irrigation Planning
Irrigation farmers of Oregon will
have more Information available
this year on prospective water sup
plies than ever before, as a result
of the beginning of cooperative
snow survey work being conducted
in me major irrigation sections of
the state. Snow In the mountains
constitutes a vast surface reservoir,
or as some have termed it, "frozen
assets," but lack of accurate infor
mation in the past have prevented
detailed forecasts as to the water
supplies available at any particular
season.
The division of irrigation of the
federal bureau of agricultural en
gineering has now been made re
sponsible for snow surveys through
out, me western countrv. and n
Oregon is working In close cooper
ation wun (j. v. stricklln, scate en
gineer, and the Oregon State college
experiment station. A series of dis
trict meetings to report on pros
pective water supplies for this year
has just been held at Medford,
Bend, Pendleton and Ontario. In
charge of these meetings have been
J. H. Ryan, assistant state engin
eer, who has developed valuable
records in some localities in tho
past seven years; M. R. Lewis, Ir
rigation engineer of the state col
lege teaching staff, and R A. Work,
associate irrigation engineer ana
superintendent of the Medford
branch station.
In all instance sreported on, irri
gation water supplies are expected
to be equal or better than last year.
In some instances they are the best
since the start of the dry cycle. In
the Medford area, snow measure
ments in the Cascade range indi
cate a total water supply adequate
to produce all crops. Soils are now
well soaked. In the Upper Klamath
basin, snow supplies are some 18
per cent greater than last year.
In the Deschutes river valley
there is the greatest amount of wa
ter in storage in the Ochoco reser
voir since 1932 and an increase of
about 80 per cent over last year.
Snow depth and water content in
the headwaters of the Deschutes
are about the same as last year,
though underground storage is be
lieved to be improved. Cultivated
lands in the region are in excellent
condition aa to moisture.
Observers In the Umatilla-Walla
Walla river headwaters find that
there is considerably more snow
than was the case last year, rang
ing up to 60 per cent increase.
SPRING GARDEN TIPS
By A. G. B. BOUQUET, O. S. C.
A boy of 12 in one of the coun
ties of western Oregon is making his
spending money growing parsley
which he sells to butcher shops, ho
tels, and restaurants. There is a
steady demand for this green gar
nish and the crop is one that is
produced over a long season.
Spring set cauliflower plants of
ten run to seed prematurely before
making a normal foliage growth be
cause the plants are checked by
cool temperatures and insufficient
nitrification of the soil. Plants set
out in the summer for the fall crop
rarely show this fault.
Strains of varieties of tomatoes
sometimes show variations so that
when one has chosen a variety there
yet remains the question of the
breeding and selection back of the
strain. The standard varieties most
widely planted in Oregon include
Bonny Best John Baer, Chalk's
Jewel and Pritchard. Others used
to a lesser extent are Earlina, Pei
fectlon, Marglobe and Indiana Bal
timore the last being a canning
variety in southern Oregon.
New hybrid strains of sweet corn
such as Golden Cross Bantam, the
most important sweet corn intro
duction since Golden Bantam was
introduced in 1902, are arousing in
terest among commercial growers.
These inbred hybrids have a greater
uniformity of ear characters and
size, a higher degree of uniformity
as to stage of maturity and yield
more heavily because of this uni
formity. They also have a smaller
percentage of nubbin ears. The sea
son of Golden Cross Bantam is
about 8-10 days later than Golden
Bantam. A number of early hybrids
are being developed.

The State Band Contest
The Heppner school band re
turned home Sunday with the D
class championship cup won at the
state band contest at Corvallis. The
Heppner band under direction of
Harold W. Buhman completely out
classed the eight bands with whom
they competed. They won first
being judged superior the Santa
Clara band won second, being judg
ed excellent. The Burns band
which wag champion for the two
previous years was dethroned, plac
ing third. Much credit is due to
Harold Buhman who kept the home
band in almost perfect time. The
band was also commended on its
quality of tone. This is the second
year the Heppner school band ha3
competed. The winners of A. B. and
C classes were Jefferson, West Linn
and University high of Eugene, in
the order named.
The band wishes to thank those
who furnished the transportation

Senior Memory Book
The annual year book has been
changed to the Senior Memory
Book. This book consists of only
two pages. The pictures of all the
different groups are to be on one
page and the pictures of the grad
uating seniors on the opposite page.
The organization of the book is
decidedly different than the one
put out last year. Last year's book
consisted of all the group pictures
with information about each group
underneath the picture. The book
this year gives just the name under
the picture. It is not as expensive
or half as much trouble as the
"Shamrock" was when it was put
out last year. Although the year
book this year is smaller in com
parison with the work and price,
it is a desirable book to have.
