Mustangs Thumped
By Stanfield;
Meet Elgin Friday
By Jim Morris
Heppner's Mustangs traveled to
Stanfield Friday evening October
5 where they tangled with the
high spirited Tigers and emerged
cn the short end of a 27-7 count.
Until this game the Tigers had
scored 133 points and had held
their opponents to 0.
The game opened as the Mus
tangs returned the kick to their
own 47 yard line. From here they
were able to move only 5 yards
until the alert Tiger defense in
tercepted a Mustang pass. But
this proved to be of no value as
the Mustangs intercepted a Tiger
pass a few plays later From here
the Mustangs and Tigers fought
back and forth in a scoreless
duel until the second quarter
when the Tigers struck for 2
quick touchdowns. After the Ti
gers scored their second tally the
Horse men were given a spark of
hope as Dick Ruhl returned the
kickoff 82 yards to paydirt which
was the first time an opponent
had scored on the Stanfield eleven
all year. As the quarter ended
the score stood 13-7 in favor of
the Tigers.
In the second half the Mus
tangs came back fired up for
a victory and they looked more
aggressive as they held the
Tigers in the thifd stanza but
their spirit was broken as the
Tigers scored 14 points in the last
quarter and the game ended 27
7.
Next game is October 12 at
Elgin in which the Mustangs will
try to avenge their 7-7 tie with
the Huskies last year.

legislature for the present 1955
57 blennium.
Some of the heavier increases
were imploratlons of the Board
of Higher Education, $14,807,399;
Board of Control, for institutions
$3,764,037; Oregon Technical In
stitute, $2,524,956; Military de
partment, $1,583,860; State Police
$684,910; Department of Welfare,
$501,073.
The budget figures will be
scrutinized by Finance Director
It. R. Johnson then the governor
will pass judgment and present
the budget to the legislature,
where anything can happen.
A few weeks ago Governor
Smith reportedly said he intend
ed to balance the budget this bl
ennium. But this week he said
he did not think the present bud
get figures "would" be lowered.
He probably expects the legisla
ture to hold close to present fig
ures. This is something the
legislature lias seldom accom
plished. Miss Ida Estberg of Portland
was a weekend guest of lirr sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Cason.
Industrial Progress
Tied to Increased
Farm Yield, Surplus
The farm problem today isn't
all the farmer's doing, believes
Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension
agricultural economist at Oregon
State college.
Industrial progress has had a
hand in upping farm production,
she says, through its contribu
tion to an increasing use of tech
nology on farms upping yields
and cutting manpower needs.
Greater farm use of nonfarm
supplies such as chemcial ferti
lizers, machines, gasoline and oil,
and otherlabor-saving or production-increasing
commodities
makes for increased efficiency on
the farm, Mrs. Horrell observes.
And use of these materials and
machines helped each farm
worker produce enough food,
fiber and tobacco to supply him
self and 19 other persons last
year. In 1940, each farm worker
was able to produce only enougti
for himself and 10 other persons.
This increased' use of technol
ogy on farms has led to an in
creasing farm production, and
has added to commodity credit
corporation (CCC) investments,
Mrs. Horrell points out. On June
30, CCC investments in farm pro
ducts added up to $S!4 billion,
according to the U. S. department
of agriculture close to a billion
dollars more than a year earlier.
Products on hand with the CCC
are made up largely of wheat,
cotton, and corn, totaling an in
ventory of around $6 billion, the
USDA report says. Loans out to
farmers, primarily on cotton,
corn, tobacco, and wheat total
another 2V billion.
However, USDA is working
hard to make full use of the pro
ducts coming in, Mrs. Horrell said,
In addition to farm products
moved out under other surplus
disposal programs, donations of
surplus foods nearly doubled
last year. About two billion
pounds of farm products were dis
tributed at home and abroad
under the donation program
alone.

State Travel High
During August
August travel in Oregon hit an
all-time high with 744,591,898
miles driven.
The figure represents an in
crease of slightly more than 13
million miles over August of last
year.
At the same time, the depart
ment of motor vehicles traffic
safety division said the state's
mileage deatli rate for August
lias been set at six deaths for
each 100 million miles of travel.
The rate was 5.7 in August a year
ngo. J
Both figures are computed from '
reports of gasoline sales to the
department.

Corn Worm Infests
Boardman Crops
Corn ear worm infestation in
the Boardman-Hermiston area is
much heavier than in previous
years, according to word received
here from the state department
of agriculture.
All corn fields in the two areas
suffer 100 percent infestation by
this insect pest. One field near
Boardman has as many as five
worms per ear f corn, reported
the? department's survey ento
mologists who conducted the
local checks.
Damage by the corn ear worm
shows up in the number of dam
aged kernels per ear of corn. In
jury by tliis insect pest also
causes rot and mold which affect
the quality of corn.

Oct. 15 Deadline Set
For Farm Youth Trips
Deadline for Oregon young peo
pie to apply lor trips overseas
under the International Farm
Youth Exchange program has
been extended to October 15, ac
cording to the state 4 H office,
Oregon State college. At least
three persons will be selected this

during 1957.
Young people who are between
the ages of 20 and 30, single, with
farm backgrounds, and who can

OSC Receives Grant
To Study Radiation
Resistant Bacteria
A search for microorganisms
able to withstand normally lethal
doses of atomic radiation has
been started at Oregon State
college, according to Dr. P. B.

The study, financed by a $15,

food and container Institute of
the armed forces, will try to de

Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Don
Bellenbrock over the weekend
were her brother-in-law and sis

and two children of Portland who
were here for the hunting. The
Kohlmans also visited other rela-l

Mr. and Mrs. Lester Doolittle
were in Elgin the middle of the
roorganisms can withstand radia
tion levels normally used to
sterilize food.
Need for the study grew out of
the discovery last year by the
OSC agricultural exerirr.ent sta
tion of bacteria able to withstand
a radiation dosage of 4 million
roentgens almost twice the
amount that can be used to steri
lize meat without causing unna
tural flavors or other changes.
Dr. A. W. Anderson, OSC bac
teriologist, emphasized that the
radiation-resistant bacteria aren't
disease producing and are easily
killed with heat. They can
cause spoilage of food products,
however.
The new study will examine
food products exposed to atomic
radiation at normal sterilization
levels, to see if there are other
microorganisms that can with
stand this level of radiation.
Meat, poultry, fish and dairy pro
ducts will be checked.
Ways to quickly identify radi
ation -resistant microorganisms
will be studied during the pro
ject, and the scientists will also
look into the food-using and
other life habits of any resistant
organisms they discover. Use of
mild heating, entibiotics, spices,
salt, and other materials or
methods that may control or
lower a microorganism's resist
ance to radiation are due for in
vestigation. Work on the study will be
headed by Anderson and Elliker,
assisted by graduate students
Dennis Duggan and Miss Frances
Duryea. Dr. Robert Cain and Dr.
H. W. Schultz of the OSC food
technology department will co
operate in the project.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bedford re
turned Sunday from a business
trip to Portland.
Florence Petzel, head of the OSC
clothing and textiles department,
new cotton towelings absorbed
wore water than linen ones to a
certain point. As cotton became
"wetter", it's absorbency decreas
ed. This means, that for an or
dinary bath of dishes, new cot
ton towels do a good job of dry
ing, Miss Petzel explains. But for
big dishwashing jobs, fewer linen
towels could be used to dry dishes
because linen absorbs more wa
ter after it's damp tjian cotton.
In tests on new towelings, linen
dries faster, but didn't take up as
much moisture as all-cotton or
cotton-flax mixtures. With re
peated launderings, linen be
comes lighter and doesn't dry as
linen towels do not leave "lint"
and feel smoother to the touch,
which makes them ideal for pol
ishing and dusting, the OSC home'
economist says. Because of its
absorbency, a damp linen cloth is
handy to wipe up spilled liquids.
After continued use of both ma
terials, tests revealed that cotton
fibers withstand repeated laun
derings better than linen. Cotton
threads seemed to hold up better
than linen that had gone through
several wash cycles.
The studies were made by the
OSC researcher to learn more
about drying properties of differ
ent fabrics for household and
industrial uses.
