Good Work, Band
AN individual or organization may
once just by accident do some
thing better than they are normally
capable of doing. But when an in
dividual or organization consistently
does a thing well, well enough to be
rated superior, then the feat can
hardly be considered accidental.
So consistent has the Heppner
school band been in obtaining su
perior rating in competition, four
consecutive years in fact, that our
people may well feel the band is
eligible to compete under the more
exacting requirements of a regional
festival.
The band came out on top most
recently at La Grande last week
end, and that fact gives them the
right to go to Portland next month
to be judged along with superior
bands of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana. Already general pub
lic acclaim has been given the trip.
Individuals have proffered cars for
transportation, the city has given
$25 in cash, the county has given use
of the fair pavilion for a benefit
dance, and the firemen are spon
soring a smoker to help.
The trip will be expensive. But
it can be put across. It should be
put across to justly reward band
and director for their good work.
Let's give the band a boost to re
gional and national prominence.
Time Now to Control
Whitetop, Says Agent
Control of perennial noxious weeds
including Russian knapweed, white
top, and morning glory should begin
soon, according to C. D. Conrad,
county agent.
Conrad states that most of the

the bloom stage and if steps are not
taken to prevent seed maturity new
infestations are sure to develop.
Sodium chlorate which has been
used successfully on knapweed and
morning glory has given erratic re
sults on white top in Oregon, and
in general cannot be recommended
for this weed Cultivation is the
only practical control method, and
it requires about three years to get
the last plants.
Cultivation is also the most prac
tical method of eradicating knap
weed and morning glory where the
acreage is large, but for smaller
patches sodium chlorate applied dry
at the rate of four pounds to the
square rod gives good results and
is the cheapest effective chemical
at the present time. Planting in
fested areas to alfalfa or crested
wheat grass helps to hold most
weeds in check and where clean
culture cannot be practiced and the
areas are too large for the use of
chemicals this method is advised.
Sodium chlorate can be secured
at cost through the county agent's
office and to aid in putting it on a
new chamical spreader has been se
cured which will be available for
those who wish to use it.
Farmers who have not secured
their copies of the new noxious weed
bulletins at the county agent's of
fice should do so. These bulletins
go into considerable detail in des
cribing the weeds and the various
methods of control.

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR SCHOOL DAY
Track Meet and Music Festival
to Bring County Children Here
28th; Committees Named
Final details of organization for
the annual all-county school music
festival and track meet were releas
ed this week by Mrs. Lucy E. Rod
gers, county school superintendent.
The event will be staged in Heppner
Friday, April 28, a week from to
morrow, with track meet between
grade school pupils beginning at
9:30 in the morning, and the music
festival at 2:30 in the afternoon.
The festival will be held on the
school lawn, weather permitting.
Mrs. Rodgers appointed all neces
sary committees this week, includ
ing a committee to prepare and
serve hot chocolate to all those who
bring lunches. A community picnic
lunch is planned at noon, and all
townspeople as well as visitors are
urged to participate. The place will
be announced next week.
An exhibit of work will be shown
all day in the various grade rooms
at the school..
A gate charge of 10 cents will be
made at the track meet to defray
expense of ribbons which will be
awarded winners. No admission
charge will be made for the music
festival.
The whole day is planned to be
a gala occasion for county schools,
a day filled with fun and frolic
heightened by physical competition
and music, says Mrs. Rodgers. In
the several years the event has been
staged it has grown in interest and
popularity, and this year is expect
ed to draw one of the largest crowds
ever.
A highlight of the festival will be
the appearance of the Heppner
school band playing its contest num
bers. Ensemble singing by all pu
pils, singing by boys' choruses and
girls' choruses in the several div
isions, and mixed choruses in each
division will make a highly enjoy
able program.
