CULLING DEMONSTRATIONS
TO BE HELD AUG. 15 ft lb
CHURCH AT 2:30 AUGUST 15
Extension Poultrman from 0. S. C,
to Cull Local Flocks as Was
Done in June.
It tentative arrangements go
through as now planned, H. E. Cosby,
Extension Poultryman from Oregon
State college will be In Hermiston on
Friday and Saturday, August 15 and
18, to carry on the program of poul­
try work for the project.
Mr. Cosby started a culling demon­
stration on two flocks when he was
here In June and plans to again cull
these same flocks during this visit
The work as carried on is a deinon-
tratlon of the 111 effects of too late
culling, as no culling of these two
flocks will be done after this August
culling. The tendency has been for
the majority of poultrymen to cull
th e’r flocks late in the year, some­
times even as late as November and
December and this late culling does
not give the best results, as it is too
late to successfully pick out the low
producing birds according to Mr.
Cosby. A comparison will later be
made between the years production
of these flocks that are culled early
and the production of flocks that
are culled later in the year.
A meeting of local poultrymen
will be held at the Methodist church
in Hermiston at 2:30 on Friday,
August 15, at which time Mr. Cosby
will discuss local poultry problems
with the producers.
The program for Mr. Cosby's visit
is as follows:
Friday, August 15—
7:30 A. M. Culling H. J. Ott flock.
2:30 P. M. Meeting of local poul-
trymen at Methodist eburoh.
Saturday, August 18—
7:3o A. M. Culling W. J. War­
ner flock.
1:30 P. M. Farm calls.

land, April 24, 1864, and died at the
age of 68.
She is well known around this
community as she has resided at Ir­
rigon for a number of years. Her

nesday night where funeral services

R. Walpoole, of Irrigon.
THEATRE NEWS
"No, No, Nanette," will open at
the Oasis theatre at Hermiston Fri­
day and Saturday, August 8 and 9.
First National screen version
partly in Technicolor, of the famous
musical comedy is on a vastly larger
scale than the stage version. There
are 150 girls and men in the chorus,
with a large cast of principals head­
ed by Bernice Claire, Alexander Gray
Lucien Littlefield and Louise Faz­
enda.
“I Want to Be Happy," and “Tea
for Two," the big song hits of the
stage production are sung by Gray,
Miss Claire and the big beauty chor­
us. Other song numbers are "King
of the Air," "The Dance of the
Wooden Shoes" and "Japanese Bal­
let.” The latter three songs are be­
coming as widely popular as were
the two original hits.
"No, No. Nanette” is the story of
a kindly millionaire who wants to
make others happy, especially young
girls. Written by Otto Harback and
Frank Mandel, the musical play has
been adapted to the screen by How­
ard E. Rogers, himself the author
of kevcral successful musical shows.
Clarence Badger directed the pic­
ture and Larry Ceballos staged the
daqce numbers. The cast includes
Lilyan Tashman, Bert Roach, Zasu
Pitts, Mildred Harris, Henry Stock-
bridge and Jocelyn Lee.
Let all -small boys take notice!
One of their own has been raised to
the throne of stardom! The new king
of the movie kids is none other than
Jr. Davey Lee, aged four, and he
Is coming to the Oasis Theatre next
Sunday and Monday, August 10 and
11 in Warner Brothers latest Vita-
phone talking picture, in his first
starring picture— "Sonny Boy."
The grown-ups that help Davey
are Everett Edward Horton, Betty
Bronson, Gertrude Olmstead, John T.
Murray, Edmund Breese, Lucy Beau­
mont and Jed Prouty. Leon Zuardo
wrote the story which was adapted
for the screen by C. Graham Baker.
Archie L Mayo directed.
"Sonny Boy” is a comedy, and
Davey is not required to make peo­
ple cry as he did in "The Singing
Fool." He is Just a mite of funny
humanity, not camera conscious,
not "Bmart,” Just a regular little
kid, but with such odd small antics
—such winkings and blinktngs—and
such unlooked for changes of expres­
sion—as to make everyone want to
claim him as their own on the spot!
You really must not miss "Sonny
Boy.”

Umatilla County Receives Share
Annual Apportionment O f la x e s
Umatilla county receives the sum
of 810.854.60 as its share of the an­
nual apportionment of the state's ir­
reducible school fund, George S.
Brown, clerk of the state land borrd.
has announced.
The amount was based upon a
population of 6,870 children over four
and under 20 years of age in the
county. '
Although the total amount, avail­
able In tie Interest account of the
funds exceeds by more than 83.000
the arnFInt In the same fund a year
ago, the per capita apportionment
today exceeds by only one per cent
the total apportionment In the entire
state last year.
The amount apportioned to Uma­
tilla county will be reapportioned
among the various school districts by
the county school superintendent up­
on the basis of school population.
There are 351 dogs In Umatilla
county, having a total value of 819.-

However, this is not an accurate
census of the dog population of Ore-
-n because many county assessors
do not make any attempt to assess
dogs, says Earl L Fisher, chairman
of the state tax commission.
The cost of government is sub­
stantially contributed to by public
utilities in Oregon, says Earl L.
Fisher, chairman of the state tax
ecmmlsslon in releasing a report on
taxation of utilities.
During the fax year 1939, public
utilities will pry prop; rty taxes ag­
gregating 87.193,362.67 based upon
the apportioned value of 3180,199,-

valuation of the utilities amounted
to 839 ,199.066 but the former fig­
ure represents the tnxable value up­
on which they actually pay taxes and
conforms to the standard of under­
valuation In the respective counties,
ranging from 42 per cent in Clack­
amas county to 84 per cent in Sher­
man county.
The ratio of taxable to the full
cash value of property generally In
Umatilla county, ns determined by
the stats tax comntisnlon for the
year 19J9, was 69 par cent, Fisher
said.
