nual Turkey Tour and Picnic to be
held Saturday, August 19, has been
given and is as follows:

In order to avoid possible spread

that everyone stay outside of the
turkey pens. The different brood­
ing systems employed on each farm
will be explained by each turkey
raiser.
A delegation of turkey growers
from Redmond has written and ex­
pressed their intention of being
here, as has also a group of the Pen­
dleton growers. Director Marls of
the Extension service, H. E. Cosby,
extension poultryman, J. C. Leedy,
ex-county agent from Douglas coun­
ty and now manager of the Oregon
Turkey Cooperatives, all are expec­
ted to be present.
All turkey raisers and eveyone in­
terested in turkey raising are invi­
ted to be present.
A special invitation is issued to
poultrymen and it is hoped that
they will bring a fair sample of
fried chicken, so the table merits of
the two kinds of fowl may be judged
by everyone present.
Everyone coming should bring
dishes, cups for coffee, knives, forks
and spoons, and a pot luck lunch.
The Eastern Oregon Turkey Grow­
ers association will furnish ice
cream, coffee, cream, sugar and
roast turkey.

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
t
At a meeting held in the rooms of
the Stanfield Commercial club, the
Stanfield Community Development
Association was permanently organ­
ized, and a new era in the develop-
'ment of the Stanfield Irrigation dis­
trict was on its way.
A constitution and by-laws was
presented to the meeting by a com­
mittee appointed for that purpose
at the regular meeting of the Com­
mercial Club on August 10, was
adopted and signed by more than
fifty enthusiastic boosters for the
association, and a fund of nearly
$200.00 was raised to carry on the
aims of the association. Lloyd Rus­
sell. through whose efforts the or­
ganization was formed, was unam-
iously elected president, and a com­
plete list of officers will be appoint­
ed at a meeting of the directors on
Wednesday evening. August 10.
The purpose of this organization
is to advertise and sell the more
than four thousand acres of land
now vacant and uncultivated, lying
under the ditches of the Stanfield
Irrigation district to bona-fide home
builders in small tracts, and not for
speculation. Cultivated tracts un­
der this project are now producing
as high as 275 sacks of potatoes to
the acre, and others are cutting
from five to seven tons of alfalfa to
the acre and other farm crops in
like quantities.
