BLOW DISTRICT
TO ELECT OFFICERS
Meeting Called Saturday at Lex
ington; Morrow Farmers
Acting Under New Law.
A meeting will be held at the Lex
ington grange hall at 10 o'clock Sat
urday morning, April 17, to elect
four members of the advisory board
for the Morrow County Blow Con
trol district, which has been set up
under the new law passed by the
1937 session of the legislature.
Under the new law, the county
court declares certain areas as wind
control districts, upon the presenta
tion of a petition outlining the boun
daries of the district and signed by
two-thirds of the landowners or op
erators within the district. Such a
petition was submitted to the court
early in March, and 'official notices
of the district were published March
25 and April 1 in the Heppner Ga
zette Times. Following publication
of these notices, the court, under the
new law, has set Saturday. April 17,
as the date for a meetnig of the
landowners or operators within the
district, for the purpose of electing
the advisory board. This board,
when elected, will recommend ero
sion control inspectors to the county
court. The court will then appoint
one or more inspectors from the list
of names submitted by the advisory
board. The present set-up of the
district, under the new law, is very
similar to that of the old voluntary
district started at Lexington in the
spring of 1935. The real difference
between the two set-ups is that un
der the present law, the board of
advisors will have the right to en
force certain blow control measures
when, in their opinion, such a pro
cedure becomes necessary. Probably
the board will not have to exercise
this right.
The present law was initiated
through efforts of farmers in Mor
row county, and since its passage,
the federal government has been us
ing it as a model for similar state
legislation in the wind eroded areas
of the middle west. The law stands
as the first of its kind. Had this law
been in effect last year, it would
have been possible to avert damage
totalling thousands of dollars. It
. may be that 1937 will pass without
the disastrous winds of the last two
years. With this new blow control
district, however, the farmers of
Morrow county are in a position to
protect themselves from unneces
sary and preventable damage.
Edwin Ingles Named
Professor at Pacific
Another. Morrow county school
man is headed for higher places in
the educational world. He is Edwin
T. Ingles, superintendent of the
Boardman schools, who this week
received appointment to professor of
education at Pacific university for
the coming year. Dr. Dobbs, presi
dent of the Forest Grove higher ed
ucational institution, notified Mr. In
gles of the apponitment which was
accepted.
Mr. Ingles has been connected
with Morrow county schools for sev
en years, three of which were spent
as principal of the Lexington schools
and the last four at Boardman as
superintendent. Under his superin
tendency the Boardman school was
admitted to the Northwest Associa
tion of Higher and Secondary
schools, the smallest school in the
state with such membership. It is
also the smallest school in the state
maintaining a four year course in
agriculture and farm shop.
Distinctive features of the school
calendar brought about under Mr.
Ingles' regime are an annual inter
school party and dance participated
in by Umatilla and Irrigon, and girls
playday for which annual invitations
are extended to Lexington, lone,
Umatilla and Irrigon schools.
In announcing his intention to
leave Morrow county, Mr. Ingles ex
presses deep appreciation for the
fine cooperation received at all times
from the Boardman school board,
and pays tribute to Morrow county
people generally as "a fine lot of
people who, if they treat all school
men as generously as they have me,
deserve the best of schools for many
years to come."

LEXINGTON
By BEULAH NICHOLS
Word has been received here that
Mrs. Sara White underwent a ma
jor operation in a Portland hospital
Monday morning. Her daughter,
Mrs. Lonnie Henderson, has gone 'to
Portland to be with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Whillock and
daughter and Miss Helen Breshears
were Pendleton visitors Monday.
Mrs. Naomi Hughes and daughter
of Pendleton were week-end guests
of Mrs. George White.
An accident involving two cars
and a truck occurred at the inter
section of Main street and the high
way last Friday evening. The truck,
operated by W. H. Van Orsdall, was
coming from toward Heppner and
struck Frank Shively's car which
was crossing the highway at the
time. The Shively car was thrown
against the corner of the Scott ser
vice station and the truck followed
up striking the car again. One of
the vehicles hit a car which was
parked near the service station and
damaged it slightly. The truck and
the Shively car were both badly
wrecked but no one was injured.
Lexington grange 726 held its reg
ular meeting Saturday evening. Mr.
and Mrs. V. R. Runnion were given
the obligations of the order by Or
ville Cutsforth, past master of the
grange. Grange was then recessed
and a program by the lecturer, Nor
ma Marquardt, was pleasantly re
ceived. The cause and aims of the new
state law providing for wind erosion
districts were explained by Henry
V. Smouse. The purpose of this
law, which was sponsored by Rep
resentatives E. R. Fatland and Giles
French, is to prevent the loss of
farm land from wind erosion. The
farmers who organized the Lexing
ton Erosion Control district in 1935
were largely responsible for this bill
being brought before the legislature.
The Lexington control district de
pended on voluntary cooperation of
property owners for effectiveness in
the blows. After two years it was
deemed necessary to take action to
procure legislation for the purpose
because of the fact that some land
owners refuse or neglect to cooper
ate in controlling blows on their
land. Under the new law the county
courts are authorized to designate the
boundaries of such districts upon
presentation to the court of signa
tures of property owners in the dis
trict. An advisory board will then
be elected whose duty it will be to
suggest the most effective methods
of erosion control in that particular
district. This law aims to protect
the individual as well as the com
munity as no method of blow con
trol may be used that may prove
detrimental to the individual's prop
erty. The methods used by the Lex
ington Erosion Control district
proved so effective that it is being
used as a pattern by the United
States government in forming leg
islation to benefit the farmers in the
drouth areas of the middle western
states.
On resuming the order of business
James Peck was elected as a candi
date for admission. A. H. Nelson
gave a report on the meeting of the
executive committee of the Eastern
Oregon Wheat league held at Arling
ton rcently for the purpose of dis
cussing ways and means of defeat
ing the Pettengill bill. A check-up
on definite information in the hands
of the committee proved that under
handed methods were being used to
favor passage of the bill. Each
grain or stock shipper was urged to
write our congressmen, condemning
the provisions of the bill.
Harvey Miller said that an agri
cultural program had been outlined
and some debating would be ar
ranged soon. The H. E. C. won a de
cided victory in having certain mon
eys definitely "earmarked" for use
in completing the grange hall. Joe
Belanger, county agent, admitted
how he "shivered" in tense moments
when the ladies waxed eloquent in
defending their rights.
Supper was served at the close of
the meeting by the committee in
charge, Mrs. Louis Marquardt, Mrs.
Charles Marquardt, Mrs. John Mil
ler, Mrs. Merle Miller, Mrs. Ralph
Scott and Louis Marquardt.
The Lexington Home Economics
club met at the grange hall Thurs
day afternoon with thirteen mem
bers present. Anna Smouse and
Alda Troedson were hostesses and
served delicious refreshments at the

nection with the regular meetings.

the home of Mrs. George White with
