GRASS, ALFALFA
MIX RESULTFUL
Local Soil Conservation Service
Advises Method of Improving
Permanent Hay Production
The value of seeding grass with
alfalfa for permanent hay has been
proven in the Heppner area, not only
in reducing erosion, but also in im
proving the quality of the hay and
quantity, according to technicians
at the Soil Conservation Service
camp at Heppner.
Noting that straight alfalfa seed-
ings were not completely controlling
erosion, service men assisted a num
ber of farmers who were cooperat
ing with the service to seed a mix
ture of grass and alfalfa. The first
mixed seedings were put in on the
W. H. Cleveland ranch on Willow
creek and the John I. Hanna ranch
on Hinton creek.
After seeing for themselves the re
suits of the first two years both
Cleveland and Hanna are emphatic
in stating that practically all of their
future seedings will contain grass as
well as alfalfa. Not only is soil loss
reduced to a minimum but hay ton
nage is increased and the quality is
superior for general use over straight
alfalfa, is their report. Some ranch
ers have noted that their stock will
eat the grass out of the hay even be
fore they eat the alfalfa.
Smooth bromegrass and tall mea-
dowgrass have given the best re
sults of all grasses tried to date, as
ELLWYNNE PECK TELLS EXPERIENCES
ATTENDING P. I. AS BANK GUEST
By ELLWYNNE PECK
I would like to describe through
the columns of your newspaper some
of the experiences and observations
I gained from my recent trip to the
Pacific International Livestock ex
position awarded me by the com
mittee through the courtesy of The
First National Bank of Portland-
I left Lexington at 7:30 on Mon
day morning. Oct' 4, with Mr. Mor
ton, manager of Heppner Branch,
First National Bank of Portland.
"We arrived in Portland at noon.
I registered at the Heathman ho
tel where I was assigned my room
and also met Mr. Walter H. Brown,
the bank's vic-president, Miss Ber
tha P. Singer and Miss Goodwin
who were with us as our guides and
advisers during the stay.
Miss Awilda Bleakney of Board
man, who likewise was a Morrow
county delegate, had registered be
fore our arrival.
Group pictures were taken at the
Heathman hotel.
After registering we attended
luncheon as guests of the Portland
chamber of commerce. Mayor Car
son welcomed us by leased wire from
New York where he was attending
a special meeting.
We were taken to the Pacific In
ternational exposition in two large
gas busses which were our transpor
tation while in Portland. After at
tending the 4-H club banquet at
Penney hall at the exposition
grounds, we went to the horse show.
The horse show consisted of judging
of three and five gaited horses,
coach horse judging, bulldogging,
riding of Brahma steers and bucking
horses, and a demonstration of rid
ing hurdles by Canadian cavalry
and U. S. army teams- The United
States team won with five falls to
the Canadians' 15- This completed
the schedule for the first day.
The next morning we had break
fast in the main dining room of the
Heathman hotel after which we
made a tour of the First National
Bank of Portland. Group pictures
were taken in the lobby of the bank.
We were conducted through the
bank by a guide who explained and
showed us all the functions of the
organization. A few of the features
which interested me were the change
computing machines, the safety de
posit vaults, and the check endors
" ing department. The doors to all the
vaults weigh about 14 tons each,
containing three time locks. A code
message could be sent to Europe and
have the return message within six
minutes through code machines op
erated by the bank. Many other
features were equally interesting,
but space does not permit me to
mention them farther.
We were then taken to the expo
sition grounds and attended lunch
eon at the Red Steer cafe. The af
ternoon was spent visiting the air
port, grotto and Franz bakery. At
Swan Island airport we were per
mitted to inspect the planes on the
grounds with a guide who answered
the questions asked. The grotto
proved to be a-beautiful place and
in the future will have lawns and
gardens along the paths. At the bak
ery we saw the bread-making pro
cess from the flour to the wrapped
bread. It was very interesting thru-
out.
Then we returned to the Heath
man where we visited KOIN broad
casting station and where several
club members were interviewed for
their outstanding club work. After
wards we attended a banquet in the
Georgian room of the Heathman.
We were then extended the privil
ege of either attending a theater or
dancing party for the rest of the
evening.
The following morning we again
returned to the exposition where we
witnessed the auctioning pf 4-H club
fat stock. The prize steer, weighing
a little over a thousand pounds, sold
for 36 cents a pound. The prize fat
lamb of the show sold for $1.25
pound. The lamb weighed almost a
hundred pounds. Exhibitions at the
exposition were from all over the
U. S. 4-H livestock was shown by
clubs from Oregon, Washington, Ida
ho and Montana.
We finished our schedule with a
special luncheon at Coon Chicken
inn and returned to the Heathman,
after which we journeyed home.
I wish personally to thank the
sponsors of this trip and also the
people of Morrow county who have
supported 4-H club work.
SUFFERS BROKEN LEG
Leslie Rasmussen, head lineman
for Pacific Power & Light company
at Condon, suffered a broken leg
bone near-the ankle Tuesday morn
ing when a rope on which he was
pulling gave way, reports last week';
Condon Globe-Times. He undertook
to go ahead with his work but an
x-ray by Dr. Gaunt revealed a bro
ken bone and the leg was placed in
a cast which will have to be worn
for several weeks. Bob Mays of The
Dalles is substituting for Mr. Ras
mussen. Mr. Rasmussen was loca'
lineman with P. P. & L. for many
years before going to Condon re
cently.
Mrs. Hilma M. Anderson was
business visitor in the city Tuesday
from the Eight Mile farm.
far as this area is concerned, the
service experts say. On land that can
be irrigated, a mixture of the two
grasses with alfalfa at the rate of
eight pounds alfalfa, tall meadow oat-
grass three pounds, and smooth
bromegrass three pounds, gives the
best results. Seed of both grasses is
readily available and low in price.
The cost of seeding an acre with the
above mixture will usually run
lower than seeding straight alfalfa
in a larger amount, they explain.
The grass can be sown at the same
time as alfalfa with an alfalfa seed
attachment or a regular grain drill
Early spring seeding after danger of
frost is past is believed the best in
this area, according to the technicians.
HOME EC CLUB MEETS
Willows grange Home Economics
club met at the home of Mrs. E. C
Heliker on Friday, Oct. 15, with" a
good attendance of members and
several visitors. A pot-luck dinner
was served at noon. Most of the day
was spent in quilting. The ladies
made plans for a program and ba
zaar for November 20. Refreshments
were served at the close of the
meeting. The November meeting will
be held in lone to complete the ba
zaar plans.

Student Offers Cure
For Migraine Aches
CORVALLIS That the "water
balance" in a person's body may be
the key to prevention of migraine
nervous sick headache is the
theory advanced by Frank Thomp-
n, graduate student in chemistry
at Oregon State college, who recent
ly reported his experiments and con
clusions on this subject to the Ore
gon section of the American Chem
ical society at its meeting in Portland.
When informed about eight years
ago that this malady, from which he
suffered frequently, and which, in
cidentally, afflicts from one to two
per cent of the population, was in
curable, Thompson began using his
earlier scientific training in an ef
fort to find out something about it
for himself. His study of his own
case and those of a number of oth
ers has finally convinced him that
the secret of prevention of these
headaches lies in keeping the intake
of water or liquid at a minimum.
He recommends that persons sub
ject to such headaches stay on the
borderline of thirst at all times, and
that if they feel an attack coming
on, wrap themselves in blankest in
the warmest possible spot and sweat
it out.
Charles W. Smith, assistant state
county agent leader, was calling at
the local county agent's office Monday.
