Mustangs Move Into District Playoff
District Game
Against Moro to
Be Here Friday
By Larry Mollahan
Heppner fans will have the
chance to see their team in action
Friday afternon against Moro In
the District 6-B finals. The game
will be played at the Rodeo
grounds at 2 o'clock.
The Mustangs have dropped
only two games this season to
eight wins.
Last week's play netted Hepp
ner the Big Wheat League crown
in a wide open contest with Fossil
at Fossil 7 to 2. The Mustangs
collided with Mitchell Friday and
registered a 14 to 2 victory to get
into the district playoffs.
A non-counter Tuesday even
ing was fatal to the Mustangs as
they came out on the short end
of a 5 to 0 no-hitter pitched by
Les Young of Echo. j
Coach Larry Dowen defined the
loss to the Cougars as Just plain
old "Echoitis" a sort of nervous
ness that afflicts Heppner when
ever they play Echo.
The loss served a purpose how
ever in bringing the boys to re
cognize their mistakes.
The sensational play of the
game was when Young knocked
a nomer with one man on lor
Echo.
Should Heppner win the Moro
game, there will be one more dis
trict playoff prior to going to the
state tourney. Who that game
might be against is not yet
known.
Saturday will see Jim Mallon's
Track squad hitting the trail for
La Grande to compete In the dis
trict track meet.

(Bill) Nichols, 8G, former Hepp

hearing from friends here. His

LESTER
WYMAN
SAYS:
Here's Why Aqua Is
Best Nitrogen To Buy:
1. It soaks in . .
soil, goes into mor
it sticks better to the
soil, will stay put and
grow the crop.
2. It's immediately available ... no
weiting for either tain or irrigation.
3. Long lastini ... it contains a chemi
cal governor which controls the rate of
bacterial attack, leaving reserve,, for lat r
use.
4. Accur-t3 metering . . . liquids with
out pressure are the most accurately
measured materials. You caa have a
printed delivery tick-it, too.
5. Easy handling . . . pumps do the
work no lift, no lug.
6. Do it yourself ... or let George do it.
Aqua lends to a wide choice in applica
tion you can handle ij yourself or call
on the Dealer to do it for you. This is be
cause it can be handled without pressure
tanks and stored like gasoline.
7. Works even in cool weather . .
the aqua solution will produce more crop
growth in cool weather than the concen
trated gas from which it is made; aqua is
more available to do your winter-time job
of crop growing.
8. Less power to put it in . . . since it
sticks well, aqua can be placed at 4" to 6"
deep instead of "down to China" which
means faster application, or less tractor
power. This also makes for quicker avail
ability. 9. Keeps the soil "soft" . . . aqua won't
drive away calcium. With aqua, you keep
your calcium and keep the soil friable
and fight possible alkali.
10. Adjust to weak spots . . . aqua drill
equipment can be adjusted easily to
change th3 rote applied according to the
soil changes.
