PAGE SIX HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1936 IONE By MARGARET BLAKE Continued showers during the past week have been very welcome to the farmers. On Monday after noon a fall of .79 inches of rain was recorded at Morgan. In looking over records of the observation sta tions at Heppner, Gooseberry and Morgan we find that Gooseborry is only .58 of an inch precipitation be hind Heppner for the period from September, 1935, until June 15, 1936, and Morgan only .68 of an inch be hind Gooseberry. The total for the period at Gooseberry is 10 40 inches and at Morgan 9.72 inches. This latter figure shows that 1.62 inches more rain has fallen at Morgan since last September than usually falls in a year, the ten-year average being 8.06 inches.

Saturday morning bedding will be rolled and suitcases packed, and the entire group will scatter to their homes in every county of the state. Among the exciting incidents at summer school this year was the announcement from Portland that Florence Flink, 13, one of the sum mer school delegates from that city, had won the grand championship of the Rose Festival on her entry of an Ophelia rose grown in her 4-H rose and flower project. This made the second successive year in which a 4-H club member had carried off this coveted honor at Portland's rose show in competition with the best adult growers. The Oregon club summer school, which incidentally is the only two weeks' session of this sort held in the United States, had its begin- nngs 22 years ago when 20 4-H boys and girls were assembled on the O. S. C. campus for special training. It has grown steadily in scope and at tendance, with an enrollment this year more than twice as large as that of two years ago. The class work this year was more inclusive than " ever before, with instruction provided in every phase of club work and many re lated interests, while many prom inent citizens and officials of the state have appeared before the daily assemblies. The clubbers entered wholeheartedly as usual into the sports program of swimming, ten nis, baseball, volleyball, dancing, and similar activites. Two new features of the evening entertain. ment programs were a style revue ana an amateur night. Record Summer Session In Prospect for 0. S. C, Corvallis.

By JOSEPH WHITMAN, Local CCC. I represent the average American boy. I am twonty-two years old and full of ambitions and Ideals of youth. Back in the latter part of 1934 I enlisted in America's great est peace time mobilization with great anticipations. I can now sa that many of them have been real ized. At the time I joined this or ganization my weight was 150 lbs. It is now 175 lbs. Because of financial difficulties at home I was forced to leave school upon graduation from the eighth grade. I was attending night school when my chance came to join the C's. I can gratefully say that I have furthered my education 100 i since then, and feel I will have a practicable, workable, line of mas tered studies when I again return to employment in private life. Of the many things that I have learned in the Cs those that will always stand out are: (1) Being able to get along with other people at work and play. (2) The value of good, wholesome food coupled with hard work and its influence toward sound health. (2) It has developed In me a deep appreciation of nature and country life. For examples I have learned to distinguish trees as to species and commercial value. I have found out muoh about the habitants of the fields and forests, their living habits, and the part they play in keeping nature's bal ance, and ways to remedy condi tions that upset it In regards to country life my view point has been broadened by direct contact with farming problems1 and by taking part In the soil conservation pro gram which is helping to solve some of them. I have been given the chance to compare the dally routine of the dairy and truck far mers of the east, and the sheep ranches and the wheat farmers of the west. I have learned much from each. (4) It has aided mo in attaining the powers of self-expression, self-entertainment and self- culture. Through these I have de veloped pride and satisfaction in cooperation with others. As far as practicability is concerned I have gained an understanding of the pre vailing economic and social condi tions, to the end that I may coop erate intelligently in improving such conditions. I have learned to preserve and strengthen good hab its of health and mental develop ment, and through vocational train ing and guidance I have been as sisted by the organization in ac quiring an education that will malce me feel equal to any task requirirg it in this work-a-day world. So that is what the C's has' meant to me, for all of which I'll ever be grateful. Many Gifts Received By State University University of rOegon, Eugene, June 16.

July 3 Closing Date for Filing AAA Work Sheets Friday, July 3, has been set as the closing date for receiving work sheets for the 1936 agricultural conservation program. Unless a work sheet has been filed by a far mer by that date, showing what the crops were on his farm in 1935, he will be unable to qualify for a grant for carrying out soil conserv ing or soil building practices under this year's program. The date was set by the state committee late last week while the members were in session at Cor vallis going over the progress of the program to date. Among the business transacted was the listing of county yields for seed flax under the special provisions applying to that crop. The state committee received un official reports from many counties showing a large sign-up of work sheets under the new program. In western Oregon particularly has the sign-up been heavy. Farmers in general are following the advice of the extension men In getting work sheets in even though they were not certain they desired finally to par ticipate in the program this year. Signing the work sheets entails no obligation, but merely makes cer tain that grants may be claimed under this year's program if earned. Best Indications are that liming will be added as an otlicial soil building practice In western Ore- Speaker Bankhead ' "' '" ' ' WASHINGTON . . i A newly posed picture of Representative Wm. B. Bankhead of Alabama, elected Speaker of the House of Representatives at the death of the late speaker Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee. gon. This addition to the original list was recommended by the Ore gon technical committee. Word has now been received by the state committee that the addition of a flat rate of $2.50 an acre has been approved by the division. This us ually means final approval by the secretary. Liming was advocated as a basic practice necessary in many locali ties to the growth of legumes, a main objective of the conservation program. It Is believed that this encouragement may greatly stimu late the application in regions where shipping costs have made it difficult for farmers to use lime even though needed. NOTICE TO CBEDITOHS.
