Future Farmers at the state F.F.A.
convention at Corvallis.
The plans so far include Junior
Greeley and Roy Pettyjohn in dem

Ralph Taylor and Bill Padberg on
poultry.
At the meet, the boys are required
to put on their demonstrations in
competition with chapters from all
over the state; they must be given in
front of a large audience containing
any number of judges.
As eastern Oregon hog calling
champion, Don Bennett is scheduled
to express himself over a KOAC
hook-up that reaches every hog in
the state; there will also be a mat

hog callers representing their sec
tions. Several of the boys from the chap

by rail in a coach of eastern Ore
gon F.F.A. members. Several ex
cursions and entertainments are al
ready planned for the Oregon dele

fee of $25 entitles a member to a
round trip with meals and admission
to many of the fair attractions.
Junior Flunk Day
On Monday, April 24, the juniors
journeyed to Walla Walla for their
annual Flunk Day. The class as
sembled at the Marcus Whitman
hotel early in the morning and from
there journeyed to various places.
Among the spots of interest visited
were the Walla Walla airport, high
shool, Whitman college, and KUJ
radio station. It had been planned
to visit the Washington State peni
tentiary, but because of construction
work, that visit was made impossi
ble. At the high school, the class at
tended an assembly sponsored by
the freshmen. The radio broadcast
much enjoyed at KUJ was that of
the Braden-Bell company.
Band News
The band will play Friday after
noon at the county music festival.
Saturday they go to lone and Lex
ington to play on the streets of those
towns as well as on the local main
street. Saturday night the band will
perform at the band dance.
Freshman Social Hour
The freshmen showed that they
aren't so green any more by pre
senting an excellent social hour last
Wednesday evening. The evening
was spent in dancing. Several novel
ways of finding a partner to dance
with were used. Punch and cookies
were served after the dancing. A
good time was had by all who at
tended. Sports

Congratulations, Juniors

itiative and work in putting on a
food sale Saturday morning. The
juniors are beginning to really work
hard in an effort to raise funds to
make the junior-senior banquet and
prom a success when they are given
on May 6. Good going and good luck,
juniors.
Senior Class Meets
Several very weighty and im
portant problems were solved or
discussed at the senior class meeting
Monday afternoon. The class voted
to ask Rev. R. C. Young to be the
speaker of the evening at baccalaur
eate services to be held Sunday, May
14, if the band members return in
time.
The class picked the three mem
bers from which the person to have
his name engraved on the plaque
will be chosen by the faculty some
time before graduation. Bill Barratt,
Frances McCarty and John Craw
ford were the seniors chosen.
A sum of six dollars was voted to
be spent for some gift to the school.
There was some talk of buying some
books for the library, a make-up set
for plays, or starting a fund to buy
a water fountain to be placed on the
tennis courts. A committee was final
ly appointed to settle the matter. The
class also decided to go on a picnic
sometime this spring and various
committees will be soon appointed
by the president to plan it.

Open House Success
Heppner school was mobbed last
Friday evening with proud parents
and alumni looking over the school.
Many of the rooms in grade school
and high school were decorated, and
the best work of the pupils was ex
hibited on walls and desks. After
inspecting the school house, the
guests attended a program at the
gym.
The program was opened with
greetings by Mr. Blankenship. Fol
lowing the grade school part of the
program, the public speaking and
civics classes presented a round ta
ble discussion on Hitler's actions.
Next on the program was a tumbling
act by Don Bennett, Richard Hayes
and Jack Merrill. Omer McCaleb
and Howard Patton gave a demon
stration on how to sharpen a plane.
The program was concluded with a
style show by the Home Economics
class.
Fossil Boy 'Wins Speaking Contest
Jack Johnson of Fossil won first
prize at the Elks' speaking contest
and a trip to Klamath Falls this
summer. Johnson got his dates mixed
so did not speak before the Heppner
student body several weeks ago with
the other contestants. Edna Steph
ens of Heppner and Donald Smith
of Condon tied for second place. The
subjects of the speeches dealt with
the various phases of "American
ization." Specialty Crops
Featured in New
Outlook Circular
Information on specialty crops
and animal products is featured in
the current issue of the "Agricul
tural Situation and Outlook Re
port" from the agricultural econ
omics department of the OSC exten
sion service.
The report contains the first print
ed discussion of the data gathered
in the last two years showing the
volume and trend of specialty crop
production in Oregon. The trend of
Oregon agriculture has been toward
the production of specialty crops,
owing primarily to the distance from
market and the consequent advant
age of producing relatively high
priced commodities for long freight
hauls, the report points out
Latest data obtained by means
of surveys supported by special
legislative appropriation show that
specialty crop production ui Oregon,
including small fruits, amounted to
just under twenty-one million dol
lars in 1937. Of this amount approxi
mately eight million dollars' worth
is not accounted for in regular sta
tistical reports on principal crop
output
The current report deals with for
1 age seeds such as Austrian peas,
clover seed, vetch, alfalfa and
grasses, and with the production of
peppermint, sugar beets, flax, and
fur-bearing animals. Latest surveys
indicate that cash income from fur
and game farms in Oregon amounts
to about $54,000 a year and that
mink numbers are increasing while
fox numbers are decreasing.
The report also includes the latest
information on farm price trends
and shows the general level of
prices received by fanners in the
country as a whole stood at 91 per
cent of the 1911-1914 average level
as of March 15. Compared with
March, 1938, the general index is
down five points. Low prices for
grain, dairy products, and poultry
are chiefly responsible for the de
cline during the past year.
The Oregon mid-March farm price
index is the same as for the pre
vious two months and is also un
changed from March, 1938. Prices
for hogs, horses and beef cattle are
in the best relative position in Ore
gon compared with the 1926-1930
average, while wheat, butterfat,
prunes, eggs, and potatoes show the
lowest prices in comparison with
that period.
TO REINSTATE TRAPPERS
WPA trappers whose services were
recently discontinued will be rein
stated in the near future in Morrow
county, announces Judge Bert John
son, who received word to the ef
fect this week from E. J. Griffith,
state WPA adrninistrator.
