250 TURKEY AND
POULTRYMEN HAVE
PICNIC SATURDAY
DIFFERENT METHODS OF HEAT
ING BROODERS EXPLAINED.
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

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

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.

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. Portlar I
at the following prices:
