Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, May 3 1956 Echo and lone Outhif Mustangs To Win Two Tilts By James Monahan Co.'ich Larry Dowen's Mustang "nine" found out that the old ball can take a wicked hop. Last week the "ole ball" took two big bad hops as the Heppner squad dropped a pair of encounters to Echo and lone by 8-2 and 7-4 scores respectively. Echo's "cats" grabbed an 8-0 lead in the first five innings and held it throughout the tilt, while Heppner fought for Its only two runs in the last frame. Sam Ramos, sophomore Cou gar twirler pitched one-hit ball up until the final Inning when Griffith of Heppner slammed a single to left center field. Gentry then popped up a fielder's choice which erased Griffith at second and left only one Mustang on base. Ileppner's first sacker, Lance Tibbies drew a base on balls and reached second when Jerry Dougherty lined a base hit to left field. Ileppner's keystone man, Low ell Turner w.ent down swinging before Ron McCabe was issued a walk which forced across Ilepp ner's first tally of the game. Jim Morris drove in the Mus tang's final run with a well planted single to right field. Echo made hits scarce for the blue and gold batsmen as they collected a wee total of 4 com pared to the 10 big base swats the Cougars hammered out. In the strike-out department, Ramos sent seven men down swinging while Heppner twirler Mac Griffith fired through 4 kayos. A lot of things came big for the Heppner Mustangs last Tues day In the early Innings but not enough of them came in the late frames, for the Cardinals from lone came back even bigger In the fifth panel to score four runs on two hits to defeat the Heppner crew 7-4. lone jumped to an early 1-0 lead In the first but Turner scored for Heppner In the second on a tremendous triple by Ron Mc Cabe to tie the score. Heppner went ahead in the third when Skip Ruhl reached first after driving a single past short and Griffith was given a free trip to first. Burke Gentry GAMBLING?

HERMAN GREEN then blasted a one and nothing pitch past the homerun barrier to send the count to 41. Larry Pryce's Redbirds came back in the third and fourth to collect 2 runs and edge within a point of evening the score. lone virtually iced the game in the fifth when they pounded the Horses for four runs and then leaped to the final score of 7-4. The Cards not only had a good day at the bat but also Ernie Drake, Card hurler struck out 11 Mustang batsmen. This week the Mustangs play host to the Stanfield Tigers who were early Season victims of the Heppner nine but have Im proved vastly with wins over lr rigon and Echo. Pilot Rock Wins Invitation Meet By Tames Monahan Heppner was the scene of one of the larger track meets of this area as the blue and gold thin clads played host the Heppner Invitational track meet last week, Dominating the event was the state champion Pilot Rock team who ran up a total of 82!a points. Umatilla, who placed second in the meet could only come up with 32 tallies while lone placed third with 25. In the fourth place position was the Jackrabbit squad from Lex ington while the host, Heppner For the second straight time Pilot Rock dominated the Uma tilla-Morrow track meet held here Wednesday night. Their total was 751a points to second place Ione's 38. could come up with 18 points to place fifth in the competition. Hurting the Mustangs in plac ing higher was the fact that Skip Huhl was disqualified be cause he supposedly bumped in to a man in the 410 sprint. Ruhl who in all actuality won the event was clocked in 57. flat while Suiste of Pilot Rock, who was credited with the blue ribbon, was timed at 57.1. Ileppner's only first place was captured by miler Mike Mona han who showed his heels to a pack of 10 century men to win in the fair time of 5.16. Other Mustang tracksters to score points for the Heppner team were: D. Ruhl, fifth in the 120- yard high hurdles; Tim Carr, fifth! in the javelin; Dean Connor, third In the pole vault; Dick Ruhl fourth in the high jump; and Skip Ruhl who took second In the broad jump. o Hermiston Shuts Out Mustang Nctmen By James Monahan Coach Jim Popliam's Mustang netmen lost another match and, this time, to a band of experien ced racquet men from Hermiston by a complete 10-0 shut-out. Mustang netman, Dave Cox, gave the Bulldogs the roughest time as he slammed out a 5-7 win from Phelps of Hermiston but faltered in the last two matches to lose 6-2 and then was edged In a 8-6 squeaker.

BEAUTIFICATION project for the Lexington school grounds was started recently when grade school students began pi anting Aus trian pine and Chinese arborvitae trees. They were directed by Serge Coval, teacher with the assistance of county agent N. C. Anderson and Tom Wilson of the Soil Conservation service. Shown starting the planting are, left to right, N. C. Anderson, Larry An gell, Jim Steagall, Bob Davidson, Bill Parsons, Roger Doherty, Rus sell Dolven, John Wallace and Tom Martin. (Coval Photo) Nitrogen Boosts Both Quality, Yield of Wheat Results of last year's tests in the Columbia Basin Wheat grow ing area underscore conclusions leached in 1953-54 experiments nirogen fertilizers can improve both yield and quality of the soft white wheats grown in that area. In last year's experiments, yields and protein levels of wheat from different levels of nitrogen fertilization were check ed on each of 47 farms In the area, according to A S. Hunter, OSC-USDA soil scientist In charge of the project. Protein content is considered important because millers and bakers prefer soft white wheats with a protelnlevel from 8 to 10 percent and it has been found that the amount of nitrogen fer tilized added to the soil can af fect the protein content of the wheat. When no nitrogen was used on test plots on the 47 farms, 25 of the farms produced wheat con taining less than 8 percent pro teinlower than millers and bakers prefer. This was true in spite of the fact that 1954-55 was drier than normal, the kind of year when protein levels usually are higher. When nitrogen was added, both yields and protein content rose in most cases. But on 85 per cent of the farms tested, the rate of nitrogen that produced the highest yield produced wheat containing more than 8 but less than 10 percent protein. This means that in many cases, farmers gain a double benefit from the use of nitrogen having both the yield and quality of their wheat impoved. On only 15 percent of the farms did the rate of nitrogen that pro duced highest yields produce wheat containing more than 10 percent protein. And in most of these cases, the protein content was only a little higher than desirable and would probably have been acceptable to millers. On four of these farms, the protein level of the wheat was already too high before any ni trogen was added. Agriculturists hope this infor mation can be used, along with soil tests, to make individual fertilizer recommendations avail able to each farmer in the area. This would help farmers grow high quality wheat at the low est possible cost per bushel. However, several more years of research are needed before these specific recommendations can be made. Farmers planning to use nitrogen on their wheat are ad vised to contact their local county agent for a general recommenda tion for their locality.' Research is being carried on by the OSC agricultural experiment station and the U. S. department of agriculture. Work Is done in cooperation with the experiment stations at Pendleton and Moro, and county extension agents in the Columbia Basin wheat grow ing area. Protein content is de termined by the OSC soil testing laboratory. o Mrs. Carl McDaniel and children visited her brother James Smith and family of Pendleton over the weekend.

AU Hf llff CAST I4CH EXTENSION cosrs ONir us a month Best Buys in Food For Spring Months Told For Shoppers Build spring meals around plentiful foods now on Oregon markets and you'll eat well on a trim budget. Zelma Reigle, Oregon State college consumer education spec ialist, passes along this market information about supply, cost and variety as she sees it from visiting Oregon food stores. Juicy roast beef and lean pork are in most meat markets in an assortment of cuts and prices. Record cattle numbers coming in from western feedlots and a big fall pig crop, 12 percent higher than last year's assure continu ing good prices on pork and beef during April and May. Although Oregon produced fruit supplies are fairly quiet, there are still some apples in local grocery stores. Citrus fruits remain in abundance on most fruit counters. Grapefruit and oranges, two of the most popular add tartness to fruit cups and are good appetite whetters when ser ved at breakfast. Vitamin C, abundant in citrus fruits, builds up the blood and makes gums healthy, besides being a good tonic for spring fever. In canned foods, Blue Lake green beans are spotted as a bargain by the OSC specialist. Northwest products of Blue Lakes reached an all time high last year making a greater stock of canned beans available. Fresh produce from southern states is arriving in local mar kets daily. Strawberries from Florida and Mexico, and pears from Texas are already in local stores. Prices are fairly high, but as supplies increase, prices will improve, Miss Reigle ex plains. Tender new green, red and purple cabbages are an easy way to provide low-cost vegetable servings. Difference in price be tween the colors is slight, so try all three kinds, she suggests. Large Grade A and Grade AA eggs continue as good buys at about 57 to 59 cents a dozen. Medium size Grade A's are one to two cents a dozen less than the large size.
