Horses Known Here
Show at Kennewick
Several former Heppner horses
famed in rodeo arenas will show
their stuff during a three-day cele
bration in Kennewick July 3-4-5.
While the rodeo will run three days,
there will be special features; a pio
neer picnic on Sunday, a monster
parade Monday morning; an air cir
cus each day and plenty of dancing
and free attractions.
Rock Richmond, well known in
the Heppner country, will have
charge of the rodeo features and
promises a well-balanced program
of bronc riding, wild cow milking
and riding, roping and all the other
features needed to make up a good
entertainment.
Richmond has announced liberal
awards for winners in the arena,
with a championship belt to the best
all-around cowboy taking part in the
show.
6,000,000 Posts Used
Annually in Two States
The annual rebuilding or repair
ing a turkey her of eating her eggs.
Washington requires the use of more
than 6 3-4 million posts a year, con
stituting an important minor use of
forest products, say officials of the
school of forestry at OSC.
Estimates based on a forest sur
vey of the United States and on data
obtained from loan applications and
appraisals to the federal land banks,
show that there are approximately
81,600,000 rods of fencing in these
two states and that, under the as
sumption that there is an average of
one post to each rod of fence, there
are that same number of posts.
A definite relation exists between
the size of farms and the rods of
fencing per acre. On a 10-acre farm
there will be about an average of
14 rods of fencing per acre, while
on a 40-acre farm there are only
about 8.5 rods per acre. The ratio
increases until on. farms of 2500 acres
or more there are only an average
of 1.5 rods of fencing per acre.
Annual requirements for replac
ing posts in Oregon and Washing
ton are estimates at 7 1-3 million
cubic feet of wood or 88 million
board feet. Since 1928 the school
of forestry has maintained a "post
farm" where tests are being made
with various treatments on the dif
ferent woods available for posts in
Oregon. Several treatments have
been found beneficial, while charring
is worse than nothing.
4-H'ers Make Way for
Adult Summer Session
Corvallis. As soon as some 1700
4-H club members complete their
annual summer session now in full

er students will move in for the an
nual six-week adult summer session
June 21 to July 30. It in turn will
be followed by a four-week post
session August 2 to 27, keeping the
big state college plant busy practic
ally the year around.
A number of special conferences
and institutes are scheduled in con
nection with the summer session
this year. First will be a two-day
conference for leaders of parent ed
ucation groups, to be held June 24
and 25. The second annual confer
ence on guidance and adult education
will be held July 12 to 16. On the
same dates will be a conference for
CCC educational directors.
The intensive summer school of
athletic coaching is to be held from
the opening day of the session, June
21, to, July 2. During the entire six
weeks an "Institute of Education for
Family Life" will be conducted un
der the joint auspices of schools of
home economics and education and
the state board of vocational education.
