State Corn Show
Dates Announced;
Prizes Increased
Dates have been set for the fourth
annual Oregon state corn show and
advance arrangements completed to
make this year's show bigger and
more widely attended than last year's
and with more premiums offered,
says C. W. Smith, county agent
leader at Oregon State college and
chairman of the cooperative com
mittee in charge of the show.
This year's dates are-November
22 and 23, the two days immediately
following Thanksgiving, and the lo
cation will be the same as last year,
in the Museum building at Oregon
State college. The state corn husk
ing contest will be held again in
the armory nearby.
The state corn show committee
met recently and decided on a
number of changes in this year's
premium list which will be issued
soon. Most imortant of these changes
is the creation of a new class for
hybrid corn. This will provide a
separate class for the 10-ear samples
of hybrid corn and eliminate compe
tition with the open pollinated vari
eties. .
The exhibit for the hybrid class
this year will include eight pounds
of shelled corn! in addition to the
10 ears, as judging will be based
more 6n the corn as feed rather
than on a seed corn basis. This hy
brid corn class will be in addition
to the hybrid corn growing contest
requiring complete records of pro
duction on a minimum area.
A total of $500 in cash prize money
is again being supplied for the show
by the First National Bank of Port
land, which was one of the original
boosters for increased com produc
tion in this state. Each of the gen
eral state farm organizations, Grange,
Farmers Union and Farm Bureau,
is supplying one or more class tro
phies and is represented on the corn
show committee.
The agricultural committee of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce is
taking the responsibility of raising
the necessary expense money and
the extension service is being res
ponsible for the actual management
and staging of the show. Both the
4-H club and Future Farmer or
ganizations are represented on the
committee and special classes are
provided for these groups.
SHIELDS SERVICE HELD
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock for Geo.
Michael Shields, who died last week,
from Case Mortuary chapel under
auspices of Heppner Post 87, Ameri
can Legion, with Martin B. Clark
officiating. Interment was in Heppner
cemetery.
State High School Driver Education Courses
The above picture Just released by State authorises is a typical illustration of the methods by which safe
driving is now being taught in the High Schools. This preparation, emphasizing correct driver attitudes
and habits, sponsored by leading educators and State authorities, is both thorough and comprehensive a
subject "preferred" by many prospective student drivers.

Landscape Ideas
in New Circular
The wave of home building that
has been taking place in Oregon has
stimulated unusual interest in land
scape work and general gardening.
So many requests have been re
ceived for information on laying
out ground plans that the extension
service at Oregon Siate college has
just issued a mimeographed circular
on the subject entitled "Landscape
Architecture," by A. L. Peck, head
of that work at the college.
The principles of landscape archi
tecture are just as applicable to a
small farm home area as to a huge
estate or city park, says Professor
Peck. One of the first principles in
either case is to provide for utmost
convenience, as no amount of beauty
will compensate for the annoyance
o inconenience. ,
Professor Peck urges that any im
provement work start with a plan,
no matter how crude. A plan holds
one to a given line of development
instead of haphazard use of unre
lated ideas.
The circular outlines simple me
thods of procedure and includes
some suggestions on planting ma
terials. Copies may be had free at
any extension office.

"Mother says folks didn't have telephones once upon a time
and she wonders what they ever did without them. Just
think, she says, how tired she'd be, if our telephone wasn't
here to help her do her errands every day. And tonight, she
says, Daddy will call us from 'way, 'way off, to say Good
night and tell us when he'll be home. I'm going to stay
right here beside the telephone until Daddy calls. I'm go

Hanson Hughes Has
Enjoyable Trip East
A look-in on congress while it
was at work on the big preparedness
program, through courtesy of Rep.
Walter M. Pierce and Senator Char
les L. McNary, was one of the high
lights of a trip from which Hanson
Hughes, local merchant, returned
Sunday evening. Mr. Hughes spent
four days in the national capital.
Leaving Heppner a month before,
his itinerary went south by way of
San Francisco where he attended the
world fair, and on into Mexico with
stops at Phoenix, Ariz., and El Paso,
Texas. He visited New Orleans
where the heat was oppressive but
sights of the city impressive. " He
stopped in Richmond, Va., where
he found much of historical interest,
and at Galax, former home of a
number of Heppner people, which
he found to be a lively little indus
trial city. He said the nicest little
grocery store seen on the whole trip
was located at Galax. After visiting
the nation's capital he went on to
New York for four days, taking in
the world fair there. Many of the
foreign buildings were found closed,
but exhibits of France and England
were still open. On the return he
stopped over at Springfield and
Hartville, Mo., his old home, for a
visit with relatives. Business con
ditions seemed generally good in
the sections visited, and the trip
throughout was highly enjoyable,
reported Mr. Hughes.
