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

boundaries in the Cascade moun

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

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

The study now holds promise of
bringing secondary honeliis to

ant flies first found at Corsallis
where DDT came into early use
in the college livestock buildings.
Enlomoligisls cooperating in Hi''

now reported elsewhere in Oregon
and they believe it is only a mat
ter of time until other slate areas
develop their own lesislani

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.
