Mrs Faith Follott of Hermiston spent a couple of days last week with her daughter and family, Mr and Mrs Phil Emert. started early with their centen nial plans. Each of the eight units collected histories of their local community and they were combined into a mimeographed booklet called, "Know Your Mor row County." This history was the basis of the January project lesson in each club and the many com ments that have reached this office show it to be the best at tended meeting of the year. In fact, as the centennial ball be gan to roll, more history has! been uncovered and units are Writing "supplements" to be add ed to the 32 page booklet. Three hundred copies were made of this history and were given out to; each unit member. The remain ins coDies disappeared as quick-1 ly as word got around that copies were available. We have tenta tive plans for a re-run of the Morrow county history later this year. So if you wish a copy you may leave you name at the county agent's office. The Homemakers Festival, planned for April 30 at lone, will be one of the highlights of the Centennial celebration in the county. Women will dress in pio neer costumes and old pictures and relics of pioneer days will be displayed. The main feature of the festi- j val will be the presentation of a pageant, "Yesteryears of Mor row County." Women will picture pantomime such scenes as Lewis and Clark with Sacajawea, their Indian guide; typical kitchen, "front" room, and bedroom of the early days; Senator Lane's visit to Irrigon in 1912; How Butter Creek got its name; The naming of lone, the first wedding in Valby church; the Heppner flood; the picnic at Porter ranch In Boardman In 1926; the Jewish Peddler; the Hardman Hotel; and , a typical early school room, j Musical numbers such as bar hfishon Quartettes, vocal instru mental solos, and square dances will also be part of the day's program. The Morrow county history is a wonderful story and this pag ent will help to relive the days when the first settlers came over the Oregon Trail in the 1840's and 1850's, seeking their fortunes in "green" Oregon. I've scouted the pattern coun ters to see about patterns for vnnr Centennial costume. Ad vance pattern No 715 (Penney Store) has an elaborate jacket type pioneer creation. Butterick pattern No 6342 (Heppner Var iety) is a gay-nineties costume with long slim skirt and leg-of-mutton sleeves. Butterick pat tern No 6551 is an early Ameri can style with shawl-type collar and their pattern No 1759 is a typical square-dance dress cos tume with a full skirt. McCall's hns a special Miss Centennial costume in pattern No 2176. If you plan to make your cos tume it would be a good idea to have vour stores order your pattern early as most salespeople tell mo the patterns go out of the store as quickly as they get them in. Meier and Frank Co, Portland, have readv - made centennial from $12.95. I have their adver tisement of these dresses in case you'd like to see them. The most recent sign of cele bration I've seen around here is the "brush" county agent N C Anderson is beginning to sprout on his chin. Gad! Think what we'll have to see at the office the next six months! Hog Production Shows Big Gain In Oregon, U S Hog production is on the up swing, both In Oregon and across the nation, reports Stephen C Marks, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State Col lege. Oregon hog farmers produced 19 percent more pigs in 1958 than in 1957, Marks found as he studied reports from the U S department of agriculture. The 1958 spring pig crop in the state was 8 percent larger than a year earlier. And the fall crop was nearly a third larger than the previous fall, making it the larg est fall pig crop in Oregon in the last 15 years, Marks said. Nationally, farmers' produced 8 percent more pigs last year than In 1957 and only one perceftt less than in 1955 a year of heavy production and falling pork prices. Right now, it looks like 1959 will continue the upward trend, Marks added. A recent USDA sur vey of hog producers over the nation indicated they intend to farrow 12 percent more sows during the six months from Dec ember 1. 1958 to June 1, 1959, than during the same period a year ago. If the nation's farmers carry out these intentions, and the number of pigs per litter equals the 10-year average, the 1959 U S spring crop would be 13 percent lareer than last spring and the largest since 1951, Marks pointed out Oregon farmers intend to ex pand even more, planning to far row nearly one third more sows during the six-month period than during the same period a year earlier, Marks said. The large Oregon increase will have little effect on the national supply of pork, however, Marks added, since the state produces only about one-third of the pork used by Oregon housewives. The rest is shipped in from other states, and local hog-market prices tend to follow cornbelt market levels. SMART MONEY WHfRE TO fm GO AFTER READING THE ADS .
