Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buschke and
children were among members of
the Ben Buschke family attending
the golden wedding anniversary
here Sunday. The Fred Buschkes
reside six miles from Elgin on a
farm they are purchasing, and like
their location. Their grain crop was
short this year, the wheat averaging
but 28 bushels. Some spring grain
In the vicinity ran as high as 40 and
50 bushels, however. Those yields
sound pretty good to a Morrow
countian, but Mr. Buschke is farm
ing the deeper soils of Union coun
ty which are considerably higher
priced than most Morrow county
land.
Travelling the farthest of any
members of the family to be pres
ent Sunday at the golden wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Buschke were Mr. and Mrs. Lowell
Twitchell and children. These for
mer residents drove all the way
from their home at Los Angeles.
Mr. Twitchell was formerly engaged
in the meat business in Heppner.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Graham were
visiting Heppner friends Monday
while Mr. Graham was transacting
business in his position as deputy
state insurance commissioner. They
went on to Pendleton that after
noon. Mr. Graham served in the
1933 legislature with J. O. Turner.
Walter Moore, manager Pendle
ton Production Credit association,
was visiting the local office in
charge of Harlan McCurdy, Satur
day. Mr. Moore was not satisfied
with the dry weather that has been
prevailing al too long and which
does not bode well for new crops.
L. Van Marter and Carson "Skeet"
Bigbee returned Monday from the
tall timber, bringing out a big
buck. Mr. Bigbee, former big
league baseball player, came up
from his home at Portland to join
his old friend and expert hunter on
the outing.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Blahm,
daughter, Mrs. Carl Corkrum and
two sons, were in the city Tuesday
from their home at Walla Walla,
Mr. Blahm looking after property
interests while all enjoyed visiting
old-time friends.
J. E. Craber was transacting bus
iness In the city Monday from the
farm home near Hardman. He re
ported Mrs. Craber's father, Dan
Rice, to be confined to the hospital,
critically 111.
Burton H Peck was transacting
business in the city Saturday, com
ing up from the Clark's canyon
farm. He was hoping for the early
arrival of moisture.

Editorial
It seems that pep has been a ma
jor question in Heppner high school
for some time. At times the stu
dents seem to have an enormous
amount of pep; then at other times
they don't seem to have much. This
is most noticeable at a football
garnet When the team is getting
tougn breaks on the field, the yell
ing in the rooting section seems to
die out; but as soon as the team
starts marching down the field for
a touchdown, the rooting section
seems to pep up and yell as it never
yelled before. The players on the
team shouldn't be the ones to put
the pep into the rooting section.
The rooting section should keep Its
pep up at all times and should be
the one to pep up the team when it
is losing as well as when it is win
ning. The students are gradually
gaining more pep, but they should
n't have to be coaxed. If they arc
loyal to their school, they should
take It upon themselves to create
their pep and back up their team
at all times. Let us cooperate with
our yell leaders and show that we
pan have pep.
Two things are necessary to win
a ball game, a team and a peppy
student body. If we give those yells
as it we meant them, there is no
reason why the team will not fight
harder. On to Victory!

Compost Heap Is Found
Fine Aid to Good Gardens
Every good gardener, whether
interested in flowers or vegetables
or both, will usually have a com
post heap somewhere about the
premises, says R. E. Stephenson, as
sociate professor of soils at Ore
gon State college.
The heap may be hidden by the
garage, behind some shrubbery or
in some other inconspicuous spot,
but wherever it is, every kind of
waste material about the premises
should go into it. Grass clippings,
leaves, weeds, the dead stalks of
flowers and vegetables, and similar
material all make fine compost. But
Professor Stephenson Issues one
warning put. no diseased plant
growth in the compost heap, on
penalty of spreading the disease
throughout the garden.
It is best to keep the compost
heap moist, but not water-logged.
A few handsful of sulfate of am
monia, superphosphate and lime
added to the compost occasionally
will cause the material to rot more
quickly and will help to make a
better fertilizer. Also a few shov
els of rich soil on the heap will
save moisture and inoculate the
compost, Stephenson says.
There are no objectionable fea
tures to composting no odor and
no flies, Stephenson points out. The
heat produced by compost prop
erly handled kills larvae and in
sects which might otherwise ap
pear. If not enough other material is
available, and one wishes to do so,
one may purchase straw or even
clover or alfalfa hay for making
compost, he says. If straw is used,
it is best to place a layer of straw
six or eight inches thick. Then wet
it down, add some fertilizer and
soil, and another layer of straw, un
til a heap about six feet high is
made. For each ton of straw about
75 pounds of sulfate of ammonia, 30
pounds of superphosphate and 50
pounds of ground limestone are

Republican Nominee for
County Judge
SAYS:
I have lived in Morrow County 23 years, raising wheat and
Stock.
The only promise I have made in this campaign is: "If elect-,
ed to the office of County Judge I will fill the office to
the best of my ability.
I am not under obligation to any person or group of persons,
and have no understanding or agreement with anyone
regarding any question or policy which may come be
fore the County Court. I will make my own decisions
after considering all the facts in any case. Will repre
sent the county as a whole and not one particular locality.
County business should l)e run as economically as efficiency
will permit.
I am interested with the following :
President Morrow County Grain Growers, lone.
Chairman Morrow County Farm Debt Adjustment Com.
Chairman Transportation Committee, Eastern Oregon
Wheat League.
Member Lexington Grange.
Member lone Townsend Club.
Justice of the Peace, lone District.
Been School Director. Attorney at Law.

take this means of making this statement... I will certainly appre
ciate your vote.

needed. A ton of straw will make
about three tons of wet compost in
about three mohtns' time.
If one does not care to compost,
he may purchase rotted manure
and use the lawn clippings and
leaves for mulching without com
posting, Stephenson says. Leaf
mold is also good. But pretty flow
ers and good gardens are difficult
to produce on soils that get dry and
hard easily, unless some form of
humus material is used regularly.

...YOU NEED AN
ALL-ELECTRIC HOME LAUNDRY!
Free! Plans for all -electric
laundries. Get yours today!
To do your winter laundering most efficiently
and at the same time keep your home livable
you need a separate laundry room. It may be in
your basement; it may adjoin your kitchen; it
may be a porch. It need not be large, but it should
be well-planned with space for an electric washer
and an electric ironer.
If your laundry is centrally located, you may
wish it to contain your electric water heater,
which serves all your hot water needs. Your laun
dry should have adequate space for drying clothes
in winter and should be arranged to keep steam
and excess moisture from the rest of your home.
You may not be able to acquire a complete elec
tric home laundry at once. That's all right. Hun
dreds of women are working toward the comple
tion of their all-electric laundries as they buy
equipment. To assist you in your planning,
Jeannette Cramer, prominent home service ad
visor, has designed all-electric laundries for typi
cal locations. Her plans are free at your nearest
