The two big highway signboards
advertising the Hermiston country
that were recently authorized by the
commercial club have been receiving
the finishing touches this week and
will be serving as givers of Informa
tion to the passing throngs before
the end of the week.
The signs are 24 by 10 feet la size
and have been well braced in the
building to withstand any storms
that winter may bring. Both were
located so the printed message they
carry can be seen for quite a dis
tance. The one weet of town Is a
short distance north of the drain
ditch, and the one east of town is
about half a mil® west of the James
Beebe place.
The sign west of town received the
lettering Tuesday by C. V. Nelson of
Pendleton. Two coVer coat8 were
applied by H. E. Shesely, local paint
er, who contributed a part of his
labor on the Job. It is planned to
cover the surface of the signboards
later with a coat of varnish.
Across the top of the boards is the
word “Hermiston” in big letters
readilx visible for several hundred
feet. Under this line in smaller
print appears the words, “Govern
ment Irrigation project.” The re
mainder of the sign reads: ’’Low

Contracts Completed and are at the

May Be Seen.
A signup of approximately 200
head of cows for the cream pool that
has been promoted by the Farm Bur
eau has been secured to date, accord
ing to S. H, Barnard, chairman of
the committee in charge. The con
tracts were drawn last week, and
the total signup secured has been
without any campaign. Farmers
dropping into the warehouse of the
co-operative concern to buy feed have
been informed of the fact that the
contracts are ready.
The deal entered into by the com
mittee of the Farm Bureau and the
Hermiston Creamery Co. calls for the
same price that now prevails at the
farmer® door. In other v^ords, the
formation of the pool will enable the
dairy man to have hig cream deliver
ed without any extra charge being
made to him. For sweet cream In
sufficient volume to permit a full
churning that will result in the
making of a 92 score cube, a prem
ium of two cents per pounud above
delivery costg will be paid.
The contract calls for the signing
of a minimum of 800 cows before
the plan can go into effect.
"There is no element of risk to the
dairy men,” Mr. Barnard said, "and
formation of the pool will raise the
average price of butterfat on the pro
ject and so Increase the gross Income
of project farmers.”
