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,

HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY. OREGON, THURSDAY,
NUMBER 35
SENATOR STEIWER SUPPORTS
AGRICULTURE.
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.
