o Page 8 Arlington and Hermiston Both Drub Mustangs The Mustang baseball squad spent last week on the road, play ing Arlington n Thursday and the Hermisto'.T JVs Monday and returned home with a record of two losses and no wins. Having taken the Arlington Honkers 10 to 0 previously, the Heppner squad went on the dia mond full of confidence, hut came off .somewhat deflated on the short end of an IS to 9 score. The first two innings were quite peaceful, then Jim Hayes, Heppner pitcher started things in the thiid with a single and went on to score. Arlington tied ii up in their half of the inning. The fourth was the beginning of the end for the Mustangs as Iloiikeis lapped out extra base hits good lor scores. Hayes picked up a triple for Heppner in the fifth. Haguewood followed with a double and Bill Hughes got on on a walk and then Lyle Jensen cleaned the hags with a homer to brighten things a little. The finale came it) the .sixth though, when Five Honkers made connections lor scores that cinched the game. In the Hermiston game it was about the same story, only the score was lower and the only highlight was when Buck Lamb rapped out a home run in the 4th. The Mustangs play their next home game Friday when they take on the Fossil Falcons at 3 p. in. on the local fit-Id. Most of State To Have Ample Irrigation Water; Short Here Irrigation water users in the north central .southern, south central and John Day basin areas (jf Oregon were told they can ex pect sufficient water supplies for agricultural needs during the next six months in a series of stalewide water forecast meet ings held tills month. With some exceptions, ample irrigation water was also fore cast for lands in the Deschutes river and Harney basins and northeastern Oregon during the April September period. The exceptions noted are in the Crooked river basin where the slieamllow of the Crooked river is expected to be only 51 percent of the Id sear average; in the Har ney basin where the situation is beiier than last year but still be low average, and in areas served by I he (irande Konde, Powder and Hum! rivers in northwestern Ore gon where early irrigation will be necessary to satisfy agricultural needs III Hie' Umatilla Walla Walla basin, favorable precipitation will he necessary during the next lluee months to assure sufficient irrigation water supplies during this year'.1 growing season. The key is in possible June rains. Those irrigation water users in southeastern Oregon served by reservoirs should have adequate water supplies due to carryover from last year but those using natural stream flows can expect some shortages. The water forecast meetings in their l'.lth year were conduct ed by V. T. Frost, Oregon snow survey leader for the I'SDA soil con-en atiou .service, and Dave li.iuinan v it the 1'ortland U.

Unlike recent years, the whole state is opening at one time v il'i the exception of most of the lakes, reservoirs, and their tribu taries within the national forest boundaries in the Cascade moun tains. These bodies of water will be open for trout fishing from May 2'J to October 10. Some misunderstanding has arisen regarding Fast and Paul ina lakes in the Newbeny '-rate: The game commission an nounced today that contrary to a previous announcement, motor boats will be allowed on McKay reservoir this year. Last week it was stated that they were to be prohibited, but this order has been recinded. Commission representative.-; also said that no fish have yet been released in Morrow county streams, but that planting would take place early in May. southeast of liend. This area is considered in the province of the Cascade mountains, and since they are in the Deschutes national forest, the lakes do not open until the 2!ith of May. However, some other lak.es in the Deschutes forest do open on May 1. They are Suttle, like-. Crescent, and Odell lakes and Wickiup and Hock Creek reser voirs. Flsewhere in the stale man,: lakes and reservoirs will opcr hut Elk lake and Crane Prairie reservoir in Deschutes county arc not open until May 20. Opening day fishermen have had their prospects of catching a fish brightened considerably, OSC Chemists Seek Control for Flics Resistant to DDT DDT-resis-tant Imusef lies that now have a toe hold in Oregon may have left one or two chinks in their armor that can be pierced by Oregon State college scientists before the pests become a seri ous threat here. OSC agricultural chemists a! lacking the problem willi radio active DDT and a studs' of life processes in flies have received a renewed research grant of near ly $11,000 from the army. The project started last year with a $15,000 gran! using houseflies as a basis for stinking growing re sistance of various pests to DDT and ot her chlorine-cont.i ining in secticides such as lindane, metll axychlor and aldiin. The study now holds promise of bringing secondary honeliis to ( Iregou in control of 1 1 T resist ant flies first found at Corsallis where DDT came into early use in the college livestock buildings. Enlomoligisls cooperating in Hi'' research say resistant flies arc now reported elsewhere in Oregon and they believe it is only a mat ter of time until other slate areas develop their own lesislani si rains. I,. C. Terrific and I,. F Item inert are heading up two teams of I SC agricultural chemise; at tempting to locate I he site in flies where DDT causes death oi builds up resistance.

Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, April 29, 1954 SEASON OPENING MANY ANGLERS I hanks to the work of the fish liberation division of the Oregon Slate (Lime Commission. Peino Koski, chief liberation biologist for the commission, summarized the fish planting ac tivities carried out in preparation for opening day and presented some interesting information. According to Koski, approxi mately 700.000 yearling fish have been stocked thus far this year, and liberations will continue until opening day and throughout the summer in most of the major s'ieams of the state. More than 00 per cent of the sueams, lowland lakes, and reser voirs in western Oregon have already been stocked, and the majority of the important streams caM of the Cascades have been planted with the yearling fish. The principal species being stocked are rainbow and cut throat trout, and the fish have Lei ,i averaging from 6 to 10 inches in length. No fish under legal catchable size have been planted, and, therefore, all fish planted on the coast have been at least S inches in length. Plans now call for the libera tion of over 2 million legal sized tumt before the end of the 1951 fishing season. o Ccndon Winner of Invitational Meet Condon, as last year, won the Condon Gallops, invitational track meet held last Friday at Condon.
