Crowds of people waited expect antly Saturday morning at 11:00 o’clock tor the parade that opened the day’s program. Boy Scouts head ed the parade, followed by Queen Irene I escorted by Mayor McKenzie, and her attendants, Dorothy Mudge, Echo, Nellie Leicht, Irrigon, Wil helmina (Billy) Hedrick, Stanfield, and Imogene Wilson of Boardman. The Irrigon band furnished the music and the cowboys and rodeo performers the thrills, by roping spectators. A mule that was furnish ing ho kick on the NRA represented J. S. Burnham’s store. The Rohrman Motor Co. had a fine display of new Ford V-8 cars headed by the Mor- Tone sound car, representing local car owners. The rodeo opened in the afternoon as an added attraction to the fair program this year, and the show was as good a western as has been wit nessed in this section of the coun try so far this fall. Coming prior to the Round-Up as it did there were some of the best rodeo performers in the Pacific Northwest obtained to assist in putting on the show. George Attebury of Butter Creek had charge of the performance and is to be congratulated upon the fine display of riding and roping. Finals in the bucking, calf rop- ing, and goat roping were as fol- lows: Bucking: Herbert Owens, 1st, Horse Heaven; Ray Reynen and John Slater, tied for second money. Calf roping: Floyd Peters, 1st; Kenneth Depew and Joe Allen, tied for second money. Allen is from Cal- gary. Canada, and Depew is a well known rider at the Round-Up. Goat roping: Floyd Peters, 1st; A. E. Gardner, 2d; and Wilkins Wil liams, 3d. Fast Action. The arena was kept active through out the afternoon with the sports program prior to the rodeo, the stock parade, "Buck Strychnine's" clowning, and the parade of Queen Irene I and her attendants. Buck Ing, calf roping, and goat roping furnished continuous action during the show. Harry Owens, one of the Owens Brothers, and veteran rodeo and Round-Up rider, was thrown for the first time on the circuit this year In his appearance in the arena at Her miston. This was his sixth show this year. In the sports program of which A. E. Bensel had charge, Floyd Oli ver of Irrigon, and Clark Paul of Hermiston, succeeded in climbing the greased pole; Oron Henning and his dog of Hermiston won the dog race; Mrs. Jake Reuber of Stan field won second; Oscar Burke, who was with the carnival, caught the greased pig. J. E. Hallyburton kept the crowd informed of riders and horses as they came into the arena, through the courtesy of the More-Tone Sound Service of the Oasis theatre management. Mr. Hallyburton suc ceeded in keeping interest up dur ing slack moments in the program. Show Surpasses Expectations. Many people who attended the show Saturday remarked that they did not expect to see such a spec tacle of real bucking, and roping as was witnessed that afternoon. The show surpassed expectations but it represented many hours of hard work for those in charge who had such a short time to assemble stock, horses and riders. It has been predicted that another year will see still a better show. THREE TIE IN PRODUCTION JUDGING CONTEST AT FAIR Enoe Martin and L. C. Dyer of Hermiston, and L. F.

DAIRYMEN FACE PROBLEM OF HIGH COST PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY OF FEED SHORTAGE INCREASES COST OF HAY. Production Cost Equals Retail Price of Butterfat Per Pound; Weeding of “Boarders” Urged. For the month of August 601 cows on test in the Umatilla Dairy Herd Improvement association pro duced 13,761.2 pounds butterfat for an average production of 22.9 pounds. The feed cost for producing that amount of butterfat amounted io a trifle over nine cents per pound. Since the labor, interest on investment, and miscellaneous ex pense is figured as equal to the feed cost, the total cost of producing one pound of butterfat during August, amounted to approximately 18c per pound. The price received for but terfat for the month averaged 18c per pound. These figures show that the dairy nen produced butterfat for just what they received for It. The pas- i ure season is about over, and feed- ing of hay will soon be necessary. The cost of hay far exceeds the cost of pasture, and for this reason the « alrymen are confronted with the problem of reducing the cost of pro- < uction in order .not to suffer a loss. The only way to lower the cost of production is to cull out the un- profitable or "boarder” cows. The only way to Intelligently cull out ' boarders” is to test regularly. The Umatilla Dairy Herd Im provement association has the most member of any association in the i tate, and It ranks fourth in the number of cows being tested. This i Association operates with the lowest cost per member of any association : a the state, the cost of testing being only one dollar per cow per year. ‘The association next lowest in cost ¡¡er member charges $1.85 per cow per year. The cost of testing in oth- < r associations ranges from $1.85 to : 3.50 cow per year. ----------------------------- Trench Mouth Warning Issued. Dr. W. L.
