JULY 2. 1920 HERMISTON BEATS UMATILLA IN GOOD GAME LAST SUNDAY Umatilla gave Hermiston a good battle last Sunday at Umatilla and it looked like the Umatilla boys might win the game at one time, as they hit the ball and tied the score in the middle of the game. However the local boys bunched a number of hits and walked away with the long end of the score, 5 to 3. There was not a very large crowd out, but the game became quite ex citing at times and the Umatilla rooters were on their toes most of the time, making the game lively, and full of pep. LOCAL CONTRACTING FIRM GETS BIG ROAD CONTRACT The End of a Perfect Day RIGHT NO. 42 ' PUT EM OVER WILL 75 5 A PEACH: BREGBN DAIRYMEN’S COOPERATIVE LEAGUE The Shotwell Contracting company received a contract to gravel five miles of the Columbia highway last week. The section of the road that the Shotwell company will gravel is that portion just east of Echo. Mr. Shotwell said that he expects to com plete the work by the first of Aug ust. The road is in very bad condition between Echo and Pendleton and it is gratifying to see that a local firm gets the contract to gravel this part of the road that needs repairing the most. The Shotwell Contracting com pany's reputation for speedy and ef ficient work is well known and we are assured of a fine piece of road when they get through with it.

BEST TIME TO CUT HAY IS TOLD BY SPECIALIST Product Often Injured by Standing Too Long—Feeding and Mar ket Vaines O. A. C.—Hay In Benton county and other parts of Oregon is often allowed to get too ripe before It Is cut, points out W. S. Carpenter, of the Agricultural College farm crops department. This causes losses In dollars and cents. In irrigated alfalfa districts weath er Is generally good for cutting and curing hay, but the crop is often purposely left to ripen when it is to be sold to stockmen by stack meas- urement. This late cutting gains some weight for the crop, but often damages the next crop by clipping the young sprouts. The best time to cut the alfalfa is when about one-tenth the blos soms are open, or when the new sprouts of the following crop begin to appear. Clover is best eut when one-third of the blooms are turning brown. Vetch and oats make the best hay when the lower vetch pods are half formed. Grain hay is ready to cut when in the soft dough stage. ‘ In all hay making it Is well to guess the weather right, and then i ush from cutting to stacking. It should lie In the swath just long enough to wilt, then be raked into windrows, where it is cured, if a loader is used. Otherwise it is shocked directly from the windrows and allowed to cure.
