The Heppwr Garden Club,
(he yourtRest of (he three
federation clubs in this county
and one of (he newer of (he
twelve clubs in the Blue
Mountain Distrisct, hosted its
first district meeting on Sa
turday. Sept. 25, in St.
Patrick's parish hall.
The district officers and
visiting club members rated
the meeting as "beautiful"
and "Most outstanding" and
the local members were pleas
ed that their planning was
appreciated.
Connie Tellefson, the dis
trict director, presided at the
business session which began
wrih an invocation by Rachel
Jackson, immediate past dir
ector and district chaplain.
The assembly repeated the
flat salute and the conserva
tion pledge before Heppner's
President Theta Lowe gave a
short welcome. She stressed
how much having the district
clubs here meant to Heppner
members who enjoyed the
anticipation, the preparation,
the communication and finally
the participation.
District officers and various
committee chairmen were in
troduced and ;ave reports.
Director Tellefson distributed
awards from the state federa
tion meeting. Elaine Belts
presented an interesting
paper on Chinese Flower Ar
ranging and described some of
the principles which were de
monstrated in the lovely Chi
nese arrangements beinir, dis
played by members of the
Arrangers Guild.
Members were informed
about several new projects
worthy of their support: the
High Desert Museum near
Bend, the new herb garden
and gift shop near the Whit
man National Monument out
side Walla Walla and the state
federation's campaign to pre
serve the Columbia Gorge.
Two instructive workshops
were conducted before and
after the luncheon served by
the Altar Society. One-half of
the group attended Dr. Wolff's
presentation on gladiolus and
one-half enjoyed Bill Rawlins'
instruction on dahlias: the
groups reversed their atten
dance during the second
workshop periods.
Dr. Wolff used projections of
diagrams and cartoons and
many bouquets of various
colors and sizes of gladiolus as
well as numerous plants and

parts of plants during his
lecture. He said that gladiolus
originated in Africa and were
brought to Holland and Eng
land in the 16th century from
Capetown. Most of the popular
varieties, however, have been
developed in the last thirty
years.
He carefully described pro
per soil preparation and
planting, cultivation and
watering. He cautioned that
the emergence of the stem is a
critical time and that when the
first two leaves form the
grower has to be there pretty
constantly to see that the
spikes develop in perfect
shape. He told of the 13 pri
mary diseases glads are prone
to and said that up to as many
as one third of the corms may
need to be discarded.
He answered many ques
tions about the proper storage
of the corms and about fertili
zation and care of the plants.
Dr. Wolff explained to this
reporter that the noun "gladi
olus" is officially both singu
lar and plural name for these
exciting glowers.
The eager students who
entered Teacher Bill Rawlins'
classroom gave out many
"Oh's" and "AhV as they
admired the great display of
brilliant dahlias, all Rawlins
grown, in many sizes and
forms, including one poor
handicapped, cross-eyed, bad
example. They learned that
the dahlia is a native of
Mexico and that the ancient
Aztecs grew them to perfec
tion. Presently growers are
again producing flowers equal
to those the Aztecs had.
Dahlias come in every color
except blue. They have a great
variety of forms and range in
size from extremely large to
very dainty. Seedlings are all
different, and any grower can
thus originate a unique speci
men. Rawlins told of planting and
growing the flowers. In this
area he suggested that they be
planted about May 1 so that
they will begin to bloom about
August 1 and will continue
blooming for about six weeks.
Those planted earlier should
be planted a little deeper than
later plantings. "Dahlias love
sunshine, not shade. They
need six hours of full sun
daily. An east -south exposure
is best for them."
He carefully discussed the
digging, storage and dividing
of the tuberous roots. He
recommended digging soon

rot and over-drying (shrink

difficulties.
During the registration and
coffeet ime before the meeting
was called to roder and during
breaks in the schedule,
members shopped at the
country store where plants,
preserved foods, garden pro
duce and assorted items were
being sold to help bolster the
district treasury. Several
times during pauses in the
meeting lucky persons were
directed to choose door prizes
from the collection of crafted
items offered on a display
table.
Club membtis from lone
and from Condon were espe
cially helpful to the Heppner
members during the busy day.
It was announced that the
Spring District Meeting will
also be held in Morrov, County
at lone. The two garden clubs
in Pendleton will soon have
their turn to host a state
federation meeting.
The masses of gladiolus and (
dahlias displayed at the work
shops were generously given
away by Wolff and Rawlins to
individuals, churches and to
the hospital. Some of the
flowers that had gone to
church on Sunday morning
were enjoyed again at the
Historical Society meeting at
Lexington that afternoon.

4th Lamb Pool sold Sept. 16
By JOHN P. NORDIIFIM
Morrow County
Extension Agent
The fourth pool this year for
Northeastern Oregon and
Southeastern Washington sold
on September 16. A total of 638
head of mixed fat and feeder
lambs brought 49.50 cents per
pound for both fats and feed
ers. Thirty-three producers
from northeast Oregon and
southeastern Washington
gathered 215 head in Fossil
and 433 in Hermiston for the
fourth sale of the season,
according to John P. Nord
heim. Morrow County Exten
sion Agent.
The lambs were graded by
weight and finish by Frank
Furrer. Hermiston; Ted Gilli
land. Pilot Rock; Ken Kil
lingsworth. Fossil; John
Nordheim, Heppner; and
Frank Williams. Walla Walla
into the two grades. Tom
WAtson, C2L, Hermiston, was
the high bidder, with the
lambs being delivered Sep
tember 24.
The lamb pool is sold by
telephone, a "Telo-Auction.",
The telephone livestsock
auction is simply a telephone
conference of buyers with the
auctioneer representing the
producers. This type of auc
tion helps t stimulate buyer
interest in other areas of the
U.S. since they are bidding on
a truck load of lambs. It also
helps the buyers locate and
assemble lambs for their
needs. This helps the local
producers receive the national
price, and also gives similar
prices to the small producer
and the large producer.
The lambs were graded
Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday prior to the
Thursday sale date. The total
marketing fee is $1.60 per
head to cover grading, scale
and corral use and to cover
sales costs. The PNW Live
stock Producers Marketing
Cooperative, Inc. receives

lone Topic Club learns
of tax changes
Inheritance Tax Changes
was the subject presented by
Ann Spicer at the meeting of
the lone Topic Club on
Wednesday. Sept. 22. Lorraine
Iadd assisted the hostess,
Kallieiioe Lindstrom.
Spicer said that changes in
the last five years have helped
women, small business and
farmers. She stated that wills
made before 1977 should be
reviewed to be sure they allow J
for the new law. .
Oregon will phase out the
inheritance tax by 1986 but
this income will be supple
mented by return of federal
inheritance tax monies. At the
present time federal inheri
tance tax varies from 38 per
cent to 75 percent but by 1987 it
will probably be 50 percent
overall, she explained.
