Her grandfather, Dwlght Misner, was one of the first homesteaders In the lone vlcln ity. We discussed the extension unit's plans for gathering Mor row county history and for using this history as a basis for the Homemakers Festival in April Betty showed me several relics given to her by her grandfather which included an oxen yoke and his swallow-tailed wedding suit These will surely make wonder ful additions to our homemakers festival, Betty Sedgwick, state exten slon agent from Oregon State college, spent two days with me orientating me further in my work. While getting Betty settled at the Northwestern Motel In Heppner, we experienced unusual hospitality. Mrs Rufus Piper, the manager, gave us each a large piece of mince pie that she had just baked using some of the venison that her husband had shot. I wonder if all motel guests get this deluxe treatment? Mrs Veda Brenner, lone, hos tessed the second meeting on Fri day of 4-H leaders in "Getting the Most of your Sewing Ma chine". We find these meetings very enjoyable and will be going to Mrs Betty Carlson's on Nov ember 21. ine leaders will go to The Singer Shop at Pendleton on December 12 for the fourth meeting to receive instructions on the use of sewing machine attachments. I was very impressed with Veda's new sewing room which was built for her by her husband, Casey. It contains her sewing machine, pressing equipment,an elevated cutting table, and plenty of cupboards. It's one of those rooms every homemaker dreams of having some day, but which few ever acquire. V.eda does custom sewing with spec ial emphasis on the making of drapes. Speaking of drapes, she showed me her new curtain rods called "Beauty rods" which take the pleating out of drapery mak ing. A straight curtain hung on j these rods achieves the appear- II , 1 .!,. .1 1.. 1 i . .1 ante oi ueuuiuuuy pieaieu drapes. (Some inventer really used his marbles In this one). Mrs Brenner is so sold on these rods that she has taken the agency for them. By MARTHA MATTESON At the general assembly of Pasadena City College, Pasadena California, held last week, Buck Flower, son of Mr and Mrs Leo Flower of Monument, was award ed the plaque for the outstand ing performance In "Another Part of the Forest," a play by Lillian Hellman. It is classified as one of the hardest hitting family dramas of the modern theater. The play opened the season of the presentations to be given by Pasadena City College Theater Arts association this year. ' Following each play, the best performance is decided upon and the winner s name is engraved on the plaque which becomes the personal property of the student whose name appears on it the greatest number of times during the year. Buck has been cast for a hillbilly character part in the comedy "Match Makers," the next presentation. Mr and Mrs Walt Swartz of Eugene spent Veterans day at the Leo Flower ranch. joe bmitn, wno recently re ceived his discharge from, the Navy, is spending some time at the Leo Flower ranch. Norrls Stubblefield drove to John Day Sunday. He returned with his wife and young daugh ter who was born at the hospital.

Gerald Slocum and Maynard Hamilton drove to John Day Monday. Mr and Mrs Vic DuBosch, Helen Brown, Mable Roach, and Dillle Leathers were all in John Day Thursday. Donald Mac Innis drove to The Dalles for a few days on business. Mr and Mrs Don Wicks and son Joe of Springfield, Gilbert Raymond of Eugene and his nephew Pat Donoho of Suther- lin checked in at the Matteson Farmers Cautioned Against Planting 'New' Sorghum Oregon farmers are cautioned against seeding a so-called "new forage grass" that has been ruled out of a dozen states as a noxious weed. Now being promoted as Sor ghum almum it is also called Sorghum grass, Columbus grass, or Sorgo negro the grass has made slight inroads into Oregon, reports the Oregon State college farm crops department. Sorghum almum is actually not new in the United States but has been under test as a perennial sudangrass for at least 10 years with generally poor ac ceptance, according to Rex War ren, OSC farm crops specialist The coarse, creeper-type grass is similar to Johnsongrass and is a rank grower, reaching heights of 10 feet. Like Johnsongrass, it contains prussic acid poison. Most western states have legis lated against it, and it has also been ruled out as a noxious weed in Kansas, Indiana, Missouri, Virginia, and Georgia. D D Hill, OSC farm crops de partment head, says the few farm trials in Oregon this year were not good Indicators of Sor ghum almum performances since it was favored by the early warm spring. It requires higher tern oeratures than corn for best growth. Better forage grasses for Ore gon are tall fescue orchardgrass, ryegrasses, and wheatgrasses, Hill states. He adds that field corn win douoie tne yieia or Sorghum almum in Oregon as a summer silage. Tests in other states show Sor ghum almum to be a normally slow-starter in the spring. This would shorten Its useable forage season, Warren explains, since it would be hazardous to live stock in the fall when rrost raises Drussic acid content to ' poisonous levels. These trials also make it doubtful that Sorghum almum could consistently over-winter in eastern Oregon, and its creep Stanfield, Athena and lone.
