Where they play next Sunday:
Hermiston vs. Indians at Mission.
Adams vs. Indians at Adams.
With a scoreless tie through the
tirst five Innings, Hermiston finally
crashed through with three runs In
the sixth to start the scoring in a
game which gave the locals a S to 3
win over Adams here last Sunday.
Adams' three runs were made in the
eighth, the same inning that brought
home two more runs for HermiBton
and gave them the long end of the
score to make up for the walloping
handed them by the Indians the
Sunday before. It was a good game
all around and one that kept the
fans on their toes and yelling.
Next Sunday the locals will have
a Chance to meet the Indians again
and get even for the defeat doled
out to them two weeks ago.
The
game will be played at Mission. . . ,

ARTICHOKE EXPERIMENT
PLANS MEET IN SALEM
artichokes will be located In Oregon
or California depends upon the re­
sults of an experiment being carried
out by the Pabst Dietary Products
company of Wisconsin, in which 10
Willamette valley farmers under the
direction of the extension service of
the state college will plant a carload
of rttchoke seed.
Trial plantings are being made In
Marlon, Linn and Yamhill counties
to determine the profitableness of
the output In size and quantity of
tubers. Five acres will also be
grown for this company at Hermis­
ton. A carload of seed was obtained
through the cooperation of W. A.
Teutach, assistant county agent lead­
er. Similar plantings are being made
in California by the Pabst company.
The artichoke has been found
adapted to many sections of Ore­
gon, being grown successfully thru-
out western Oregon and In all sec­
tions of casern Oregon where ample
moisture Is available, says H. A.
Schoth of the farm crops department
of the college. The crop does very
well under Irrigation. Sandy loam
soils of the Willamette valley are
well adapted to the production of
this crop, although yields are some­
what less than In the coast sections
of the state, because of dry summers.
Experiments are also being con­
ducted by the state college experi­
ment station this year at Hermis­
ton, Talent, Woodburn, Corvallis and
In Columbia county.
The artichoke, long considered a
valuable stock feed, especially for
hogs, has now become Important as
an article of human diet. It com­
petes with the potato as a daily
vegetable, and Is manufactured into
many forms of food products. It is
thought to be one of richest sources
of levulose sugar, which has special
dietary value for persons having
diabetes.
meeting here of Oregon Dairy Im­
provement council, an outgrowth of
the recent Oregon Dairy convention
held at the Oregon State college In
March. The first of scheduled trl-
yearly meetings of the body will be
here June 7.
Governor H. C. Baldridge, present
Idaho executive, Is but one of a num­
ber of outstanding personages ob­
tained by the temporary officers and
executive committee for the first
meeting, according to J. D. Mickle,
Salem, and Paul V. Maris. Corval­
lis, acting president and secretary re­
spectively. Governor Baldridge will
tell how the state of Idaho brought
about phenomenal growth of its
dairy industry and developed pro­
fitable out-of-state markets.
Ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden, of
Illinois, and Carl R. Gray, president
of the Southern Pacific, were invited
by Governor I. L. Patterson but will
be unable to attend. J. L. Kraft,
famous cheese manufacturer, is at­
tempting to be present, he hat, noti­
fied the officers.
Important changes in preliminary
organization of the council will be
proposed by the executive committee,
says Director Marls, temporary chair­
man. This committee will propose
that the membership in the council
Include 100 dairymen from the state,
apportioned among the counties In a
manner similar to that done for the
convention.
In addition the committee will sug­
gest that chairmen of the six stand­
ing committees of the council, be in­
cluded on the permanent executive
committee, which will give producing
dairymen a majority on that body.
The purpose of the council Is to
coordinate the efforts of all group
and agencies Interested In the dairy
Industry of the state to the end that
all may aid in a substantial develop­
ment of the industry In Oregon.

OVER 800 BIRDS KILLED SO FAR
IN CAMPAIGN
f
2 to 1.
Hermiston high school now holds
the state championship In debate.
This comes as a result of the vic­
tory won by Ruth Bensel and Wal­
ther Ott, 1929' graduates of the
local high school, who out-talked
their opponents from Scappose 2 to
1 in the titular contest Monday night
at the University of Oregon.
The subject discussed was. Re­
solved that a graduated Income tax
la a desirable feature of a state sys­
tem of taxation. Hermiston upheld
the affirmative of the question and
Scappose the negative.
This debate represented the last
step in a series of efforts that have
been made during the past winter
and spring to bring to Hermiston the
highest honor in state forensic activ­
ities. The local sqnnd. coached by
Miss Rose Donovan, first won dis­
trict honors, then the Inter-district
title, giving them the right to com­
pete with The Dalles for the cham­
pionship of eastern Oregon. Winn­
ing this contest, the local represen­
tatives then had before them the
final step to victory—the titular de­
bate In Eugene which now may be
regarded as the highly successful
culmination of a successful debate
season.
Monday’s contest with the winners
of the western Oregon championship
gave to Hermiston not only the title
but also the possession of a beautiful
stiver trophy eup presented by Dr, De
Cou, head of ho mathematics de­
partment at the University, to the
state champions. The cup will be­
come the permanent possession of
the school that wins It three times
consecutively. As winner of the
eastern Oregon title, the local high
school was presented with a trophy
cup given by Burt Brown Barker,
vice-president of the University. To
the cappose. representatives was pre­
sented a similar cup for the cham­
pionship of western Oregon.
The state contest, which Is spon­
sored by the University of Oregon,
was originally scheduled on a date
conflicting with commencement at
the local high school. For this rea­
son. it was postponed until later. An­
other delay came when Walther
Ott, one of Hrmlston's team, came
down with an attack of mumps the
day following commencement, so that
the date was finally set for Monday,
May 27.
The state champions, accompanied
by their coach, Miss Donovan, and
Morris Pierson left Hermiston for
Eugene Sunday, motoring down with
N. R. Mueller.
Both members of the winning team
were graduated from the high school
May 17. Ruth Bensel has been
prominent not only in debate but in
dramatic and nmslcnl activities
throughout her four years In high
school. She is the daugher of Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. Bensel. Walther Ott
who has been active In debate all
through his high school career, was
named valedictorian of his class and
and was also presented with the

cial club to the outstanding student
