Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, April 26, 1956 Pag6 Mustangs Outhif Irrigon 12 to 8 By James Monahan Grant Schuiwe's sputtering Comets, sometimes known as the UML cellar dweller, fell to Hepp ner in a 12-8 beating Tuesday. As the score indicates, it was a slugfest with the boys from Irrigon outhitting the Mustangs 12-8 due chiefly to a ball-clouting last Inning. Heppner took an early 1-0 lead over the Comets in the first, but the Irrigonites fired back to edge ahead 2-1. Taking advantage of all their hits the next three frames the Mustang crew boomed 5-2 and never again were headed. Coach Dowen withdrew some of his regulars and gave the subs a chance at the game in the late innings and still the horses scored with ease with 8 runs be ing rung up in the final three onnings. Heppner hurler, Dean Connor with a current 1-1 record, pitched good ball up until the final panel when 5 runs crossed the home plate. Griffith relieved him on the mound to retire the side with two strikeouts and a pop-fly to first. Connor was credited with the win while Simmons took the loss Heppner's power hitters for the day were Gentry and Tibbies who collected 4-2 and 5-2 respectively. Simmons of Irrigon had a per fect day with 4-4. Umatilla Downed Coach Larry Dowen's up-and-coming Mustangs blasted Uma tilla's Vikings 13-6 Friday, April 20. In the first Inning the Vikings Jumped the Mustangs as Collin walked and Ross hit a double to score him.

Fire prevention and elimination of accident haz ards are1 listed as No. 1 objec tives for the week by Al Bauer of Salem, committee chairman. A plan to report accidents in three Oregon counties was en dorsed by the committee. Mem bers of the Grange, Farm Bureau, Farmers Union and home econo mics extension units are organ izing studies in Malheur, Lincoln and Coos counties. Number, costs and causes of farm and home mishaps will be tabulated, says Mrs. John Deve- reux, Bandon, chairman of the accident reporting committtee. Mrs. Eva Stone, Troutdale, and Maynard Hempstead, Albany, are other committee members. A program to promote safety on Oregon Highways will be con tinued this year through use of reflective materials, according to Mrs. Mabel Mack, assistant director of the Oregon State col lege extension service and som mittee secretary. Strips of reflective tape were applied this week to state cars in the OSC agricultural car pool as part of the distribution cam paign. Last year, FFA and 4-H club members handled distribu tions of reflective tape which was used on about 700 farms to "light up" farm equipment. Other action taken by the committee at a recent Corvallis meeting included naming of Bauer as chairman of National Farm Safety Week, July 22 to 28. and appointment of Dave Am outh, Oregon City, as FFA rep resentative on the governor's committee, replacing Ron Pitman, Albany. o VISITS IN PENDLETON Mrs. Ralph Thompson, Mrs. A.

Cattle Price Gains Will Hold, Says OSC Chances are good during the next few months for slaughter cattle prices to hold recent gains, Oregon State college economists report. Heavy winter marketing of both beef and hogs have clear ed a record backlog of red meats. Pressure on cattlemen has now eased with the first major drop in number of cattle in feedlots throughout the nation, according to M. D. Thomas, OSC agricul tural economist. Cattle ad calves on feed for market have decreased 8 percent from a year ago, according to an April 1 survey of the 14 main feeding states. The April 1 count of 4,231,000 head is 16 percent below the number being fed on January 1, and Thomas believes the decline is likely to continue for the next few months. At the same time, peak pres sure is past from a bumper fall pig crop that is going to market earlier than usual this spring. W. Y. Fowler, OSC livestock market ing specialist, says the nation's spring marketing of hogs was heaviest in early MarcM with a 20 percent decline in recent weeks. Shipment of state-inspected stocker and feeder cattle into the nine Corn Belt states from Janu ary through March was 7 percent smaller thanfor the same period a year ago. Similar trends are noted in major Western feeding states. The number of cattle on feed in California on April 1 totaled 297, 000 head compared with 489,000 on January 1 and 318,000 on feed April 1, 1955. Idaho's April 1 total of 118,000 compared with 150,000 oh feed January 1 and 102,000 on April 1 a year ago. Reports from the 14 feeding states also show an 11 percent increase in the number of cattle on feed for more than three months. Fowler says farmers are showing less interest in feed; ing calves and lightweight cattle than last year and indications are that feeder cattle prices are not likely to come up to last summer and fall levels. THE CHEFS The Chefs 4-H club was or ganized on Thursday, April 19. Our leader is Mrs. Barton Clark.

The new 'service will measure two physical qualities of soil the approximate amount of water the soil will hold one day after a heavy rain or complete Irriga tion, and the amount of water still in the soil when plants wilt from lack of available moisture. The amount of wter In the soil between these two measurements Is the amount the soil can hold available for plant use. And, since soils vary greatly In this usable water-holding capacity, these measurements will help soils specialists and county agents make recommendations for more efficient irrigation water and commercial fertilizer applica tions. For instance, farmers in irri gated areas who install the ne cessary measuring equipment will be able to use the results of new test to determine much more accurately when to irrigate and how much water to apply, Evans explains. This should help irri gators get the best possible yields with the least possible water and labor costs. Farmers in dry land areas will be able to find out the wilting point of their soils from the re sults of the new test. By instal ling the correct equipment to measure th e amount of moisture in his land, a dry-land farmer will be able to determine how much moisture is available for the crop he intends to plant. He can then apply the amount of fertilizer needed to make the most efficient use of the avail able moisture. Soil samples for the new test need to be collected a little dif ferently than for soil fertility tests, Evans says. This means farmers will need to get full in formation and soil sample car tons from their local county agent. Cost of the new service Is $2 per sample. Only Oregon farmers are eligible to send samples to the soils physics lab. o Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Parrlsh have leased a cafe in Umatilla and they with her mother, Mrs. Walter Farrens have moved there.

Oregon Counties Plan Homemaker Festival Events Accomplishments of the vear's work will be reviewed and exten sion leaders honored at home- maker festivals in 31 Oregon counties April 29 to May 5. The festivals are in observance of Na tional Home Demonstration week. More than 18,000 Oreeon wo men take part in the adult edu cation program which brings home economics information from Oregon State college through the extension service. The extension service, a cooperative program between federal, state and local governments, is observing its forty-second anniversary, and the home demonstration program, its twenty-fourth. Eleanor Trindle, state extension agent at OSC, reports home makers festivals will be high lighted by exhibits, displays and programs that show advances in Homemaking achieved in the county during the past year. Community service projects, such as civil defense, library facilities, or safety, will be shown at some festivals. Others will illustrate homemaking skills in sewing, foods and furnishings. State leaders in education and extension will speak at the full day festivals. "Travel flavor" will be added to some by Julius Klei ner, Nampa, Idaho, businessman who visited Russia; Mrs. Armas Jakku, Hood River, Oregon's dele gate to Associated Country Wo men of the World Conference in Ceylon; and International Farm Youth Exchange Delegates re cently returned from overseas countries. Last year 116,293 families were contacted by personal visits, telephone and letters through the extension service program. Of these, 46,0000 were urban famil ies, 40,465 non-farm and 29,800 rural farm.
