Arlington Falls
Before Mustangs
Tuesday 13 to 6
By Larry Mollahan
The Heppner Mustangs over
powered a week Arlington club
13 to 6 in the second baseball
game of the season. The game
originally scheduled (or last Fri
day was postponed because of
the rain till Tuesday and clear
weather.
Posting their second scalp in
two games Heppner still had a lot
of room for improvement in the
eyes of coach Larry Dowen
Playing down on the river boys'
diamond, the Mustangs found the
lower altitude to their liking and
racked up four runs in the first
innine of play. Arlington was
putting on a good show collecting
three scores in the first too.
The first pitch of the game saw
Jim Hayes belt a long one that
out him on third. Hayes was
ticketed for home on a single by
Skip Ruhl. Lyle Jensen didn't
let Ruhl down but brought him in
on a single that wound up on the
scoring plate after Jerry Doug
hcrty in on a single to set the
pace with four runs.
John Dean , John Hudson, and
Ed Palmer each negotiated their
way in to total three runs for
Arlington.
Ed Olson tripled and Dick
Kononen walked and made it to
second. An error on the short
stop let them both go on a scor
ing sprint. Lance Tibbies knocked
a fly and sent Jensen, who got on
on a walk, home.
Haitfield came in on a triple
to make it 7 to 4 at the end of
the second for Arlington.
It wasn't until the fourth that
Kononen came in on the hurler's
error to furnish the only score for
Heppner. Don While completed
a walk successfully for the Honk
ers to stop the scoring in the
fourth at 8 to 5. .
Hudson made a fly into center
field that netted him a triple
and made it on Joe Mull's fly to
score for Arlington.
Heppner was on a scoring spree
in the sixth with Ruhl, Jensen,
Olson, and Kononen each scoring.
Jensen was the hero of the day
hitting a triple when the bases
were loaded. Buck Lamb stop
ped the scoring for .both sides
with a single in the sixth.
Improvement on the mound
was noted with Hurler Jim Hayes
striking out nine Honkers and
walking six. Arlington's pitcher
John Huston struck out only five
Mustangs and walked four.
The Mustangs host Condon on
Thursday at 2:30 and have a re
turn game a week from this Fri
day over there.

Careful Preparation
Of Wool for Market
Important This Year
Sheepmen will profit more
than ever this year by careful
preparation of wool for market
to realize highest possible re
turns under the new incentive
payment plan, reminds H. A
Lindgren, Oregon State college
livestock specialist.
This year, all wools will com
pete'on the open market under
the new wool act and the incen
tive payments will be based upon
the woolgrower's net return
Highest payments will go to
those who sell their wool for the
best price.
In order to get the best price,
says Lindgren, the grower must
have a well put up package of
wool. He offers these suggest
ions for shearing and preparing
the clip.
Tag sheep In advance of shear
'ing, before they go into the shear
ing shed, so there will not be an
excessive amount of dung locks
in the wool. Have fleeces as
free as possible of manure and
straw.
Furnish a "sweeper" to keep
the floor clean and to see that
tags are not taken up with the
fleece. Tags should be bagged
separately and the bags clearly
marked.
Shear black sheep or black-
faced sheep last and sack the
black wool separately, or clean
the shearing floor of loose black
fibers before shearing the other
sheep.
Tie the fleece with the flesh
side out with as much of the
shoulder and neck wool showing
as possible. Have good quality
paper twine for tying the fleece.
A good job of tying is one of the
most important steps toward get
ting a better price.
It's best to use clean or new
wool bags. Make sure that the
packing stand is in good repair
with no exposed nails that might
tear the wool bags.
Bag staple wool separately
from clothing wools, and fine
wool from coarser grades. Keep
the clip in indentifying lots.

Larger Potato
Plantings Dim
Price Outlook
Prospects for larger potato
plantings in Idaho, Washington
and California are casting a
shadow over the market outlook
for the 1955 crop, says Oregon
State College extension special
ists. Prices to growers are likely to
be dissappointing, they believe,
unless bad weather or an un
usual shift in planting plans
change the picture.
A recent U. S. department of
agriculture survey reveals grow
ers of Idaho and Washington
plan 7 percent more acreage than
last year. California has already
planted 23 percent more early
potatoes. These increases are
planned even though last year's
production provided adequate
supplies at fair prices.
M. D. Thomas, OSC extension
economist, says the prospective
acreages wou mean a 35 per
cent increase in California's
early potato crop if yields are as
good as in 1951. Idaho's crop
could be more than one-fifth lar
ger than last year if yields equal
those of 1952.
Oregon growers' plans in
March were shaped up to the
same acreage as last year, but
Thomas says some may now stay
out of the fight for the potato
market this year and use their
land, water and fertilizer for
some other crop,
The economist .suggests this is
a good time to leave alfalfa, clo
ver and grass an extra year
rather than "planting potatoes.
"A low return from grain or hay
would be better than a loss on po
tatoes," he concludes.
