ers was expressed by members of

of Christianity in modern life and
education.

County Data on
Specialty Crops
Issued by OSC
A detailed listing by counties of
estimates of acreage, production,
price and income from certain spec
ialty farm products in Oregon is now
available for the first time with the
publication of a statistical bulletin
by the Oregon Extension service on
these data for 1936. A companion
bulletin, giving even more complete
statistics for 1937, will follow within
a month or two.
The bulletin was made possible by
a study authorized by the last legis
lature, under which the information
was obtained through personal con'
tact with more than 700 informed
persons, including growers, shippers,
dealers, manufacturers, federal ag
ricultural statisticians, county agents
and other agricultural leaders in each
of the 36 counties. Authors of the
bulletin are M. B. Thomas and L. R,
Breithaupt, extension economists,
and C. J. Borum, federal agricultural
statistician, whose office in Portland
gave close cooperation in the study.
A long list of Oregon's important
specialty crops are not included in
the regular crop estimates of the
bureau of agricultural economics,
which estimated the 1936 Oregon
cash farm income at $110,245,000,
Omitted from the government com
pilation are such products as vetch
and field pea seed, most of the grass
seeds, ladino clover seed, flax seed.
fiber flax, filberts, peppermint, tur
keys, geese, ducks, fur bearing ani
mals, honey, flower seeds and bulbs,
and others.
The present survey shows that
these and related specialty crops
are now of major importance in the
state's agriculture, Jiaving doubled
several times in the past 10 years,
In 1936, 53,189,400 pounds of forage
seed crops were harvested from 31,
990 acres, which had a market value
of $3,137,300, the report shows. Small
fruits other than strawberries, cran
bernes and grapes were grown to
the extent of 20,226,000 pounds on
8,370 acres, and produced income
amounting to $981,800.
The only complete county-by
county survey of the turkey indus
try ever made in the United States,
so far as known, shows that Oregon
produced 1,166,000 turkeys in 1936
which sold for $2,846,500. Douglas,
Linn and Yamhill were the leading
turkey counties that year.
The bulletin contains 46 tables of
estimates of acreage, production,
price and income.
McMURDOS ENJOY TRIP
Dr. and Mrs. A. D. McMurdo and
son Scott returned home last week
from a motor trip to the San Fran
cisco bay area where they enjoyed
a visit with members of Dr. Mc-
Murdo's family. His mother, Mrs,
C. E. McMurdo, and sister, Mrs. H,
W. Cheape, who visited here through
the summer accompanied them go
ing as they returned to their home
at Charlottesville, Va. Brothers Dr,
Percy McMurdo of San Francisco,
Col. Charles McMurdo of San Jose,
and Col. Hew McMurdo, on his way
to the Philippines, with their fam
ilies, were visited. A highlight of
the trip as reported by Dr. McMurdo
was the Santa Clara-U. of Califor
nia football game which he and son
Scott witnessed at Berkeley. The
Santa Clara team was the most per
fect football aggregation he ever
saw, said the doctor. Perfect wea
ther prevailed throughout the trip,
making views of the bay area, in
cluding the large bridges, especially
enjoyable.
Seven Elk, 5 Doe
Slain Illegally
A bie bull elk, found slain and left
in the woods this week, makes the
seventh such animal that hunters
have mistakenly or maliciously kill
ed and left in the present deer sea
son, says F. F. Wehmeyer, forest
ranger. This animal was dressed out
and brought to town Tuesday after
noon to be distributed to charity.
Other animals had lain too long
when found to be used for food.
Besides the elk, five does were
similarly found to be slain illegally.
Apprehension has not been made
of any of the persons responsible.
Mrs. Oscar Borg of Portland was
visiting this week at the home of

Locals Meet Condon
Here Saturday
Saturday at 2 o'clock the Hepp
ner Mustangs will play host to Con
don on the local field.
Although losing to Fossil, 12-0,
last week, Condon should provide
stiff competition, especially in view
of Heppner's recent 6-0 defeat at
the hands of Arlington. Compara
tive scores have meant little this
year in forecasting games.
"Hap" Hayes who tended camp for
Bruce Kelley during the summer
called in town Saturday after ac
companying the Kelley sheep from
summer range.
A. C. Houghton, manager of West
land Irrigation district at Irrigon, ,
was transacting business in the city
