==m=m.Ohe Hermistun Aerali I -s™ ———— VOLUME XXVII UMATILLA PROJECT FARM BUREAU WILL SUPPORT FAIR PAYMENT OF MEMBERSHIP DUES STRESSED AT MEETING. Hardy Varieties of Alfalfa Recom mended by H. K. Dean, Supt. Experiment Farm. One of the important moves made by members of the Umatilla Project Farm Bureau at its meeting Friday night was a vote to support the Umatilla project fair board in a fi nancial way as well as moral way, when the fair is being put on this fall. L. C. Dyer and A. E. Bensel told of the benefits derived from the fair project by 4-H club boys and girls which gave the members ■ something definite to work forward to in completing their year’s work. The president, H. J. Ott, called upon 0. W. Payne, local boy scout master, to tell something of the scout work in the Hermiston troop. Mr. Payne expressed his apprecia tion for the assistance given by the farm bureau organization in fur nishing financial support along with the Hermiston Commercial club and other local civic orders. The membership voted 125 toward the support of the boy scout work in Hermiston. in speaking of membership the president pointed out that all mem bers delinquent in the organization after May 1st would be deprived of the trading privilege at the Farm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston. He continued by explaining that only persons having a membership in some grange or farm organiza tion were entitled to the benefits of trading at the local cooperative. Another speaker was H. K. Dean, superintendent of the Umatilla ex periment station, located southeast of town, who urged farmers to be, definitely sure that the alfalfa they seeded was of a hardy variety that would withstand such a freeze as was experienced in 1932. He also recommended that the grower be sure of the variety of seed before reseeding his alfalfa field. Following the close of the busi ness session a program similar to that broadcast by the "Arizona Wranglers" was given by members of the "Horse Heaven Wranglers” from Umatilla. Members of the quar tet are W. H. Bloom, the sheriff; Paul Donivan, "Uncle Iron Tail”; Everett Gossett, "Curley”; Ursel Hiatt, .•Slicker”; Other wronglers are Roy Bray, "Sleepy”; Tom Slat- tery, "Dynamite”; and little David Slattery, 9-year-old, "Nitro-Glycer in.” The setting for the performance was laid in the sage brush with a cozy corner in which "Sleepy" could snooze. Many old favorites were played and sung but the "Straw berry loan" number was left to "Nitro-Glycerine” to put over. He sang every verse without forgetting one word or missing a beat in the time. Numbers were dedicated to the following people: , Henry Ott president of the farm bureau, Henry Sommerer, Edna Ott, Mrs. Geo. Genn A. E. Bensel, C. M. Jackson Vai Knauf L. C. Dyer, H. J. Still ings, J. Jendrzejewski, Tom Wilson Mrs. Georgia Henderson, Mrs. A. E. McFarland, Garnet D. Best, Pauline Stoop, and Roy Penney. Attend Allied Youth Meeting. A group of Hermiston people at tended an Allied Youth meeting in Pendleton Sunday. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Bloom, Mr, and Mrs. R. H. McAtee, Mrs. Ida A. Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sale, Mrs. C. A. Paul, and O. W. Payne, ■ —s•= ' ■ Has Leg Amputated.

The following telegram was received this aftetrnoon from Frederick Steiwer, U. S. Senator, sent direct to the Hermiston Herald: "Responding to vigorous pro test which I personally made to director of budget Douglas again st discontinuance of federal aid to agriculture, experiment and extension work, vocational educa tion, and research in our state, I quote from letter received this morning from director Douglas, the following: ‘Let me assure you that there is no intention of eliminating federal contributions for these activities. Doubtless a reasonable measure of curtail ment will be necessary in these as in all other expenditures, but every effort will be made to avoid the crippling of essential activi ties.’ You may depend upon my continued active interest in this regard.” . FREDERICK STEIWER. U. S. Senator. R.F.C. RELIEF FUNDS NOT FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. At a meeting of the county com mittee handling the funds given by the Reconstruction Finance Corpor ation for relief work, it was empha sized that these funds were not for unemployment relief purposes, but were to be used in cases where dire necessity existed. It was pointed out that a man with a family of five children was allowed $18 a month. If there was an income of $10 he was permitted to work suf ficient hours to earn the additional $8. Single men are allowed $8 a month. O. O. Felthouse, who is a member of the committee representing the Hermiston district, states that there are three county investigators at present working on cases that have been filed. A report given at this meeting showed that during the first twen ty-one days in April, slightly over 34000 of the fund has been used in aiding 387 families. This committee will also have charge of enrolling the 51 men for the reforestation army which is the Umatilla county quota. These men will be selected from the present re lief rolls and will undergo a physi cal, mental, and moral examination. These men will be selected within the next few days in order to come under the first division. The selec tions will be made equally from the different sections of the county by the committee which includes mem bers of the county court. This fund, which was made avail able this spring, has relieved both state and county of a great deal of relief work. Emergency cases are taken care of locally. — - e =-------------- CHILD KILLED WHEN DRAGGED BY FRIGHTENED HORSE THOMAS LEE STEWART. Ake you he 79 GEAUTY DOCTOR: WELL I WANT I ATZEATMENT ) SEE.
