prepared by the two high school glee
clubs before the holidays but not pre­
sented because of the Influenza epi­
demic, provided a part of the enjoy­
able entertainment. Excellent work,

Twenty-five housewives have sign­
ed up for time on the washing msil-li-

in the laundry operated in the
building next door to the creamery.
There still is room and time for more
workers on the schedule that has
been arranged, according to Mrs.
Bater Hutchison who is In charge
of this phase of the laundry. Some
of those signing up failed to desig­
nate a preferred time, and for that
reason the schedule is not quite com­
plete.
Those who wish to use the
equipment are requested to state
some preference In regards to days
and hours for work. The laundry
is operated from 8 o’clock in the
morning on through the day, each
housewife being allowed • two hour
period for her work.

Statement.
This Period.
The third and last turkey pool of
the 1928-29 season comprising twe
carloads of birds shipped through the
Idaho Turkey Growers’ aaaociaXls*.
was sent from the local warehouse
Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Previous shipments for the season
were made Noovember 12 and Decem­
ber 14-15, 1928.
Representing a clean-up of birds
for local growers, thia last pool tailed
to come up to quite the same stand­
ard set for the first two shipments.
Of the 3958 turkeys, 13 2o or 3,3 per
cent were classed a« number two
birds, the principal cause for this
being underweight and
crooked
breasts. The total value of the ship­
ment amounted to 813,621.07 for the
total tonnage of 47,229 pounds.
The growers have been more or less
handicapped this year in shipping
operations by the lack of warehous­
ing facilities. This last shipment
however, waa made with comparative­
ly little difficulty due to the fact
that two days were devoted to opera­
tions. Assurance comes from Mrs.
C. G. Brink, manager of the asso­
ciation, that in the future two days
will be devoted to the receiving of
the birds. Moat of the growers par­
ticipating In this shipment were in
favor of the policy adopted by the
local growers association whereby one
man was kept at the warehouse to
weigh, and grade the birds received.
It was found that such an arrange­
ment lessened the chance for mistake
in -weighing.
With the last shipment for the
1928-29 season, comparative data on
the shipments for the past two sea­
sons was made and available and has
been compiled by George H. Jenkins,
assistant county agent. The value of
the 1927-28 pool amounted to 821,-
160.29 as compared with 846,403.91
for the 1928-89 season. The remark­
able growth of the enterprise in this
community within a comparatively
short time is ably represented by
these figures.
Hermiston has been selected M one
of the hostess cities for a series of
farm meetings to be held the last of
February and the first of March.
Tentative plans call for five meet­
ings, each one to be devoted to a
different enterprise, connected
in
some way with farm interests. Sim­
ilar meetings will be held in fifteen
counties of Oregon in which farmers
will Itave an opportunity to take
stock of the agricultural industry,
compare results of the past, and hear
of latest developments in production
and marketing.
The occasions will be the annual
county ’’farmers weeks” which, this
year will replace the outlook con­
ferences of a year ago. The program
for the coming gatherings will con­
tain the outlook conference feat­
ures but in addition will include the
latest in production methods and will
provide means for reporting on the
county agent projects and other in­
vestigations of interest to the
county.
The extension service of Oregon
State college will provide special­
ists for the series of meetings. The
state has been districted so tbat five
counties are in each of three divis­
ions. Each day in the farmers’ week
will be devoted to a single enter­
prise, such as dairy day, crops day,
horticulture, livestock ana poultry.
Dates for Jackson, Josephine,
Coos, Douglas and Lane counties are
February 18-23; Malheur Baker, Un-
iorf, Wallowa and Umatilla, February
26 to March 2; and Clatsep, Mult­
nomah, Claekamaa, Yamhill and
Polk, March 4-8. Previous to these
the Columbia Basin wheai confer­
ence at Arlington February 11-13
will serve in a similar capacity for
the wheat growing counties.
NEW SETTLERS PURCHASE
LAND FOR DAIRY RANCHES
Recent settlers in the Westland
district of the project are C. A. Cor­
liss and G. E. Corliss, who moved to
this community from Ontario, Ore­
gon.
Their respective purchases
amount to forty and eighty acres of
land. The new settlers are already
making improvements on the land
with the intention of developing
them Into modern dairy ranches.
LEGION AUXILIARY FLANS

ing which time she will address meet­

ients and of the clinics. The sched­
ule under which she works regular­
ly calls for one clinic each day. With

to be of a highly informnatlve nat­
ure and one which will be of Inter­
est to both men and women. The

local courts to the tune of 24 to 21.

The game waa interesting through­
out with many flashes of good bas­

to be bent on running up a record for
fouling this season as the score book
indicates. Hermiston lost the Adams
