Crop Expected to Sprout Middle of May; Small Cash Outlay Made; Experienced in Hop Growing. Hermiston may now boast of a hop yard. O. T. Lockridge has pur chased the old Bert Phelps place southeast of town and is putting in a little more than nine acres in hops purchased from grewers in the Ya kima valley. The ground has not been farmed since 1916 and Is in excellent condition Mr. Lockridge says. A small cash outlay has been made, Mr. Lockridge says, as the 7200 poles were obtained for the cutting, the name as were the hop roots. Mr. Lockridge has been as sisted by his nephew, and has esti mated the cost at approximately »150. The poles have been placed 7 feet apart and double planting made. Training will be simple, Mr. Lock ridge believes, because all the roots will not shoot at the same time, and he plans to take care of that him self. He expects the shoots to start about the middle of May. Mr. Lockridge grew hops in Ya kima for the -Maxee Co. for two years, overseeing 73 acres, with splendid results. He says that the climate here is ideal with plenty of sunshine, which will prevent insect pesta from infesting the crop. Light soil and plenty of water are also ad ded factors. He says that the crop will mature approximately a week earlier here than it does in the Ya kima valley. Near hop drying time Mr. Lock ridge plans to build a small dryer but he does not expect a large crop yield the first year. By trade, Mr. Lockridge is a carpenter and has worked on the project for 19 years. His ability as a hop grower is known in the Yakima valley. ANNUAL MEETING SCHEDULED FOR ASPARAGUS GROWERS The annual meeting for the As paragus Grower’s association will be held Saturday, March 25, In the li brary at 2 P. M. A discussion of the handling of this year's crop will be held. Last, year growers shipped to Kennewick and last Saturday Lee Lampson of that city spoke to growers here. All growers are requested to be present at this meeting. FARM BUREAU AUXILIARY OB MORE DISEASE RESISTANT SERVES ST. PATRICK'S DAY VEGETABLES DISCOVERED. A most interesting meeting was held in the club house in Columbia park Friday, March 17, by the ladies of the Farm Bureau Auxiliary, at which time St. Patrick's day was ob served with an appropriate program The Irish motif was shown in the display of shamrock, the blarney stone, the wishing well, and many beautiful and useful articles made from Farm Bureau Co-op. mash sacks. Mrs. J. Jendrzejewski was awarded first prize on pillow cases and dresser scarf, anti Mrs. Clark second prize on the best limerick. During the meeting a vote of thanks was given E. P. Dodd as presi dent of the Hermiston Commercial club for the interest shown in the preservation and planting of trees on the project. The Auxiliary made it evident that they would be glad to cooperate in any way In this movement. The Auxiliary gave a vote of thanks to all who so ably assisted in the Umatilla Project Farm Bur eau program given last Friday night. The organization will pay the Auxiliary for presenting this pro gram and the funds will be used In cleaning up Columbia park. The next regular meeting will be Friday, April 7, with Mrs. O. H. Buell and Mrs. Jackson Harr acting as hostesses. -------- p o c BUBAL RECREATION TO BE STRESSED AT CONFERENCE. Methods of improving community entertainment throughout rural sec tions particularly will be given a prominent place on the coming third annual Oregon conference on home interests at Oregon State col lege March 30 to April 1. This phase of the program will reach its peak in the presentation Thursday evening of the winning one-act plays from Lane and Jackson coun ties in the final contest for state honors, Irving grange of Lane county and Phoenix grange di Jackson county wore judged best in their sections and they will produce their one-act plays at the State conference before many delegates from other counties who are going largely to study the methods and results of rural recrea tion and dramatics with an idea of starting the program In their coun ties next year. This is but one phase, however, of the three-day conference on home interests which will take up many economic matters related to homes during this period of financial stress. Reports are that many home- makers and community leaders will attend, one county reporting that a chartered bus will bring its dele gates. More information on curly-top re sistant varieties of squash and pumpkin, but little new practical developments with beans, tomatoes and other susceptible vegetables, was obtained from last season's field trials conducted through east ern Oregon, according to a revised circular of information on this sub ject issued by B. F. Dana, federal pathologist at Oregon State college. Curly top disease, carried by a minute leaf-hopper insect, is so much of a limiting factor in vege table production through eastern Oregon. Washington and Idaho, and periodically west of the Cascades a: well, that the government has a definite cooperative research cam- palgn underway in an effort io re duce its ravages. Field tests at Hermiston branch experiment station and in other counties where farmers cooperated with trial plantings, enlarged the list of possible squash and pumpkin varieties safe to be planted in curly top areas, Dana reports. • Among the true squashes the va- rious varieties of the Marblehead group are sufficiently resistant to be grown where curly top occurs even in severe form, One strain known as the Yakima Marblehead is grown extensively in Eastern Washington, and another known as the Umatilla is used widely around Hermiston. These are large squash of excellent quality for table use and good keepers. Banana and Hub bard varieties are all very suscep tible. Among the true pumpkins the va rieties of the Cheese group have proved the most promising for do mestic purposes and commercial canning. These include particular ly the Large Cheese. Sweet Cheese, Sweet Potato and Calhoun, with the first named appearing especially sa tisfactory. Tennessee Sweet Potato and the various Cushaw varieties have shown marked resistance, Some field pumpkin such as the Big Tom, Golden Oblong and Southern Field show partial resistance. Tests of hundreds of tomato va rieties have tailed to reveal a single one with practical resistance to the disease, though beneficial cultural methode have been found. With beans, several pink and red field sorts and the lima beans have been found resistant, but the only small white disease resistant bean yet found is the Burtner Blightless | which is used both for a snap bean | and a field bean plantings.
