PINTO-POINTS
From The Hehisch
The indoor relay carnival was one
of my objectives while in Portland
last week end, and it was well worth
the dollar of which they relieved me
before permitting my entrance.
Sponsored by Hill Military academy,
tV.i mpot has the lareest indoor en
try list in the world, including both
wpd and college trackmen.

Five world champions were among
the entries in the largest indoor meet
west of the Mississippi: Glen Cun
nWham. miler: Gene Venske, 1500
meter champion; Norman Bright,
5000 meter champ : George Varoff,
nole vault title holder; and Cornelius
Johnson, who holds the high jump
record. The first three men ran in
the invitational Glen Cunningham
Mile. In this race with just a lap to
go, the champion miler had just
started his famous home-stretch
sprint when he hit a soft spot in the
track, and although not tailing to
the ground, he was forced back to
third place. Bright and Venske
were alreadv sprinting, and the ex
Kansas trackman was unable to
overtake the two leaders. Bright,
Venske, and Cunningham finished
first, second, and third, respectively.
The events which held my interest
were the pole vault and the high
jump. Varoff vaulted fourteen feet,
three inches, clearing it easily, but
as he was favoring his right leg, Bill
Hayward, Oregon track coach, de
cided that his pupil had better call
it a day. The ducky Californian,
Cornelius Johnson, easily outclassed
his opponents, his highest jump
reaching six feet, six inches; but as
it was an exhibition; he also decided
to. call it quits for the evening.
"The local high school baseball
team has six games scheduled, and
from all indications it looks as if
that is the extent of it. As lone and
probably Lexjngton are not putting
out teams, the competition stand
point offers a serious problem, the
nearest competitor being Hermiston.
Six games is' not a very strenuous
schedule, but trv as they may, Hepp
ner's promising baseball nine will
probably have to be content with
opposition in the form of only six
contests. '
Some of the bovs in the intra
mural softball league surely do sock
the ball around the horse corral at
the rodeo grounds. Outstanding tal

pers stated that the Walla Walla
team was endeavoring to win the
state title for their coach, more than

a few of the boys seem to think the
arena a place in which to loaf, but
most of them work industriously at
it . . . shortage of pitchers is a prob

it that an independent baseball team
is being organized. The track team
has a stiff schedule ahead of it.
This Saturday Heppner people will
get their first taste of the nation's
national game when the Mustangs
take on the strong Umatilla squad.
The river team, a heavv-hitting' ball
club, walloped Arlington 6-0 in a
game featuring a pitchers duel.
Roberts, Umatilla pitcher, held the
Honkers to one hit. This should
make Saturday's opener a fast one,
promising to be a pitching duel be
tween Gilman and Roberts.

cures," Knowlton says. First he
recommends correcting any short
comings that may be found in the
feeding practices or housing facil
ities. Clean litter, frequent feeding
of green feed, and the careful avoid
ance of frightening or overheating
the chicks have been found to aid
in preventing or reducing cannibal
ism.
A helpful practice after cannibal
ism has started is to darken the
brooding chamber by placing black
or dark red cloth over the doors
and windows, admitting just enough
light to permit the chicks to move
around. In such darkened quarters
they will do a minimum of picking,
Knowlton says.
Most poultrvmen keep on hand a
can of one of the brands of red
grease designed to control cannibal
ism. At the first sign of picking,
this blood-colored, vile-tasting ma
terial is smeared generously on not
only the chicks that have been pick
ed but on a dozen or so that have
not. One or two mouthfuls are
sufficient to teach most chicks that
all that is red is not blood, Knowl
ton says, and if started in time this
method is often effective in check
ing an outbreak of cannibalism.

"The casein is easily extracted
from the skim milk by a precipita
tion process in a chemical solution,"
Miss Behrens says in describing the
manufacturing process. This white
mass is dissolved in an alkali bath
and the paste formed is squeezed
through exceedingly fine holes or
Kninnerettes. The material, then
fittingly called vermicelli, is passed
through a hardening bath ot chem
ical solution and the fiber is formed.
Now the processor uses a bit of cun
ning and cuts the hair-like filaments
into short lengths to give it a wool
like appearance.
This wool spins well alone or
in mixtures due to the regularity
and elasticity of the fibers, she says.
It may be woven on machinery set
un for wool. or. if the fibers are cut
to shorter staple leigths, it may be
done on cotton machinery, thus
keeping the cost of production rea
sonably low.
The inventor of the new fiber is
Comm. Antonio Ferretti of Italy,
who realized Italy s need for a new
material and brought forth "casein
wool," Miss Behrens says. It has
passed the experimental stage and
is being made on a commercial scale,
she says.
Chick Cannibalism
Prevention Told
Although the various causes of
cannibalism are not yet thoroughly
understood, and no simple, positive
remedy" is known, it is a fact that
properly fed chicks, housed in good
brooder houses providing ample
room per chick, generally give less
trouble in this respect than those
fed improper rations or housed in
crowded quarters, says Frank L.
Knowlton, professor of poultry hus
bandry at O. S. C.
Whatever the actual cause of can

ter it has once started habit plays
a large part in its continuance. For
this reason, he savs. it is important
to check an outbreak before the
chicks learn the habit so thoroughly
that it can never be stopped.
A number of practices have been
found helpful in checking cannibal
ism, although none of them are "sure

Snow Survey Results
to Aid Irrigationists
Five sections of Oregon and one
in Washington where snow condi
tions in the mountains have a vital
bearing on irrigation water supplies
will hear the results of observations
made this winter by those cooper
ating in official surveys. These
forecasts have proved to be an ac
curate basis on which to plan sum
mer water use.
Representatives of various cooper
ating agencies including the U. S.
forest service, U. S. reclamation ser
vice, power and light companies, and
irrigation districts have been invited
to district meetings where Arch
Work, superintendent of the Med
ford branch experiment station and
representatives of the bureau of ag
ricultural engineering, and J. ii.
Ryan, assistant state engineer, will
make reports.
The meeting schedule is Medford,
April 5; Bend, April 7; Pendleton,
April 10, and Walla Walla, April 11.
At the Walla Walla meeting repre
sentatives from Washington, Idaho,
