Delegations from Kennewick, Pen dleton, Redmond and Oregon State College Attend. More than two hundred interest ed persons of Eastern and Central Oregon witnessed the Eastern Ore gon Turkey Growers association tour last Saturday, August 19. The day proved to be a “howling” suc cess in which a great many valuable points were brought out to those in terested by the growers of the var ious farms visited. At 10:00 a.m., a group of twen ty-one cars assembled at the Exper iment Station where H. K. Dean, superintendent of the station, led the knowledge seekers to a pen of 243 turkeys, all of which were of a uniform size. Mr. Crosby, poultry specialist of the Oregon State col lege, outlined a plan of feeding for eight lots of twenty-five turkeys each. The kind of feed, whether wet or dry mash, green feed or a milk diet was given under certain conditions to the various lots and the possible effect it would have upon the birds. A milk diet was strenuously emphasized two weeks before marketing. It is hoped that something worthwhile will develop from this experiment. Two systems of heating the brooder houses were brought to at- tention at the Boynton-Kelley ranch. Mr. Boynton spoke of the coal and flamo-gas systems of which he def- -inately stated that coal was more economical. A flock of 1230 tur keys were shown, some weighing from 11 to 12 pounds. However, a high average was maintained. A total of two hundred turkeys can safely be kept under each brooder without danger of crowding or pil ing up during the night. One of the most outstanding fea tures at the Rankin farm was the low heating cost for brooders. Mr. Rankin finds the hot water system satisfactory and uses briquetts for fuel. He found that his total cost of heating for the season was $21.35 which is the lowest fuel bill for raising turkeys on the project. The advantages of a permanent brood er house and an artificial yard were discussed, mentioning the fact of disease being eliminated by the ar- titicial yard. Each sea-on, the sur face can be removed, doing away with all possible germs that might accumulate from one season to the next. Mr. Rankin has 1150 turkeys about ready for market. As the crowd moved on to Logan Todd's place, more cars joined the group. It was found that Mr. Todd heats his brooder houses with the | underground method and he also has the permanent type of brooder house. Any type of fuel can be used for this system and his esti mate of fuel for the season was j about two cords of wood. The brood er huse is well ventilated and built draft proof. Mr. Todd has a flock of 1200 turkeys. At the Jendrzejewski farm, a dif ferent device was shown and dis cussed which is known as "feather boards”. These feather boards are used for the small turkeys to hover under for warmth which resembles a mother turkey. Feathers, which are taken from turkeys, are fastened to a straight board by means of a wooden peg and the board is raised a few inches from the floor allow ing the turkeys to crawl under. Mr. Jendrzejewski has two brooder hous es on his place and at the present time has over 1200 turkeys for mar keting this fall. Finishing the discussion at the Jendrzejewski farm, thirty-five cars filled with enthusiastic turkey grow ers, motored back to Columbia park. A large crowd had already gathered at the park waiting for a roast tur key dinner and a big helping of ice cream and cake. Just before din ner, the president of the Eastern ..Oregon Turkey Growers, John Jen drzejewski. introduced all guests and representatives. They were as follows: J. C. Leedy, manager of the Oregon Turkey Growers association, which consists of three distinct units, Redmond, Roseburg and Her- miston; Paul V. Maris, director of (Continued on page three) j RELIEF OPERATOR DROWNS AT BOARDMAN THURSDAY. MULLINS - COCHRAN At a beautiful * home wedding Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 P. M., August 23, Marjorie Mullins, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mullins of Hermiston, and Wallace Cochran, son of Mrs. Cochran of Tuscon. Ari- zona, were united in marriage, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Briggs, pastor of the Methodist church, at the home of the bride’s parents. The house was beautifully decora- ted with flowers and the bride wore a tailored dress of orchid crepe. Only a few close friends and rela tives of the bride and groom were present and the young couple were unattended. They plan to be at home in the house formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Woughter, ibout the first of September. Friends of the young couple wish them success and happiness in their new home. A tragedy occurred at Boardman, Oregon, Thursday when Mr. Parker, a relief operator who had come from Portland to relieve the operator at Arlington, was drowned in the Co lumbia river. Mr. Parker had journeyed from Arlington to visit Mr. Compton, the operator at Boardman, and in the afternoon they decided to take a boat out on the river. The boat drifted into the strong currant be fore the men could reach it, so they swam out to bring it in. Mr. Par ker was pulled down by the cur rent, and attempts made by Mr. Compton and Mr. Hoffman to rescue Mr. Parker, were of no avail. The body was found Sunday at 1:00 o’clock, only a few feet from where he went down, by George Mitchel and Bud Chaffee of Board man.

Thirty-five Interested Citizens Meeting Held by Mr. Dodd Friday Night. At a meeting held Friday night at the city library by E. P. Dodd, he stated that everything is being done to push the rapids project and that all indications show that the dam will go through. About 35 interest ed citizens from Hermiston and Umatilla attended the meeting. Dodd, following an executive meeting at the Grand hotel last night in Walla Walla, wired invita tions to Marshall Dana of Portland, regional administrator and to the advisory board of Washington. Ore gon. Montana and Idaho, for a big meeting in Walla Walla in the near future. He also telegraphed Har old Ickes, federal administrator, at I Washington. “We have in our favor, a project that will put several thousand men to work, ready for immediate start and a climate that will permit year- around work,” stated Dodd. Mr. Dodd, executive secretary of the Trl-State Development League, spoke before the Pasco Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. He outlined the advantages of a lake 40 miles long from Umatilla to Pasco from the viewpoints of river transporta tion, pleasure boating, power and industrial expansion. He told of lakes along the Snake river. Dodd stressed that the league is not fight ing other projects, he asserted that United States Engineer Brown was not favoring any of the dam sites, contrary to the reported statement at Portland that he leaned toward the Bonneville location on the low er river. A population of 400,000 people in the states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon would be helped by the Umatilla project, Dodd claimed, de velopment of the upper Columbia and the Snake rivers would insure cheap transportation of wheat and lumber to tidewater. “I am 100 per cent for the Uma tilla Rapids dam project. I think you have as good a chance as any body to be first in development of the Columbia river and you have the advantage in that you are ready to shoot right now whereas most other projects aren’t”, was the welcome comment of Walter M. Pierce of La Grande, ex-governor of Oregon and Congressman from eastern Oregon, to E. P. Dodd. . It’s Fair Time MPS. JACKSON HARR BREAKS ARM WHILE CRANKING CAR.

Xi ■■■■ PLAN ANNOUNCED TO RAISE PRICES ON HOGS FOR MARKET PRICE SCHEDULE ON PIGS 60c UNDER ANNOUNCED PRICE Producers Warned Not to Sell Eligi- ble Pigs and Sows for Less Than Listed Prices. According to a telegram received by P. V. Maris, Director of the Ex- ension Service, a plan for imme liate operation has been announced by the hog section. This plan in- ■ludes premium buying of spring pigs under one hundred pounds at regular markets at following prices, line dollars fifty per hundred for >igs weighing from twenty-five to hirty pounds and price decreasing twenty-five cents per hundred for each five pound jump in weight town to minimum of six dollars per iundred for pigs weighing from ninety-five to one hundred pounds. The plan also includes premium buy ng of piggy sows at daily market trice for packer sows plus four dol are per head without dockage, such oWs subject to inspection to qualify nust appear ready to farrow with- n three weeks and weigh minimum f two hundred seventy-five pounds. ’Ian contemplates about tour mil ion pigs and one million sows vhich will remove from market this »Inter and next year around two illion pounds of potential pork, this bringing the supply down near effective demand. This plan is ■ med. not simply to raise prices but o prevent prices tobogganing still ower qnder distress conditions. Em- phasise not need to rush pigs to narket immediately because prices will not lower during buying period which will begin very shortly. It will be noted that the above elegram definitely announces the adoption of the plan although the late of actual buying is not yet set. Professor Potter states that these pigs and sows are to be bought by tacking plants operating under fed- ral inspection service since the fed irai meat inspectors will pass upon the eligibility of the pigs and sows offered and that Dr. Taylor of the federal inspection service at Port land has received full instructions is to procedure whenever buying is started. Mr. Damali of Swift and Company informs Professor Pottor that he has full instructions as to procedure to be followed by his firm whenever he received orders to start buying. Mr. Damali further states that the schedule of prices as an nounced for Chicago and that in the instructions to packers, the country is divided into zones with established differentials from the Chicago price. In the Rock Moun tain and Pacific Coast states the packers will be authorized to pay 60 cents per hundred pounds less than the Chicago schedule for pigs. This is confirmed by a telegram 1 from Dr. A. G. Black which reads: 1 "Price schedule on pigs sixty cents under announced base price dis- count does not apply to sows.” This means that the government will soon be buying pies f.o.b.
