Unless the next congress which convenes in December, can see the necessity of appropriating money to be used by the western irrigated lands department In maintaining ex periment stations in the eleven wes- ern states, coming under its super vision, the local Umatilla Experi ment Station will be closed next Ju ly. The local station, together with another station in Fallon, Nevada, which has already been closed, were among the last created and of course will be the first closed due to the shortage of operating funds. Officials at Washington have found it necessary to stop operation of two experiment stations under their supervision in order to carry on the work effectively at the re maining stations in an efficient manner, with the limited funds now available. Local civic and farm organiza tions are working to save the sta tion by drafting resolutions to Congressman Walter M. Pierce, Sen ator McNary, Senator Steiwer, Con gressman Martin and other officials. The Stanfield Grange has been asked to cooperate by contacting the congressmen, and the Umatilla Pro ject Farm Bureau and other organi zations will draft resolutions. In 1931 the federal government appropriated $35,000 to the local ex periment station which had at that time outgrown its scope in experi ments and was cramped for ground space. The money was used to move some of the buildings and build new ones, on the 180 acres of land one mile south of the city, situated just above the A line canal, south of what Is known as the old David Sor rell ranch. The old station had been in operation about 20 years and was originally intended as a place where fruit raising •experiments could be conducted. Since that time farm crops have become more diversified and lack of space at the station pre vented work along varied lines. The experiment station has not only served this locality but the whole northwestern territory. H. K. Dean is the superintendent. PAPA BECOMES TOO POLISHED FOR CHILDREN, IN SCHOOL PLAY AT NEXT P.T.A. MEETING A snappy comedy in three acts "Polishing Papa" was presented last Thursday night at the Oasis theatre to a full house. The business of polishing Papa was left to a daugh ter and son who had recently re turned home from college. Plenty of comedy is sprinkled through this play portraying family life. Sydney Smith, a peppy papa, (Geo. Sale) grows resentful as his daugh ter and son, Jane Smith (Neva Rich ards), and Arthur Smith (Bill Lind ner) try to remodel his mode of living. To keep up the interest Jane becomes interested in the title of an English Duke (Chester Dyer) from whom the family lawyer (Fred Hen sel) saves the family fortune. Peggy, a friend of the family (Julia Col- pitts) is interested in the son and assists the lawyer in his efforts to take care of the family affairs. Bits of comedy was woven through the play by Marie (Edna Tumbled) the maid; Karmen (Floyd Pierce) a salesman; Mrs. Stephensen (Flor ence Lewis) housekeeper; and Rose Parker (Sylvia Shutter) special friend of the son. Smith, a sausage maker whose product is known over the world, makes a bet with his son that he will not learn to like golf, and loses. Consequently his son gets the busi ness and takes over the affairs while his Dad goes on a trip to Eu rope. During his absence the busi ness affairs become complicated, the Duke is exposed as an imposter, and the family fortune is saved by the family lawyer. By the time the father returns Ar thur has acquired the habits he once criticised his father for—that of throwing his coat about, taking off Is shoes, scattering files and papers over the table, and numerous other similar habits. His father is a polish ed gentleman when he returns and witholds greetings from his family until he removes his top-coat, hat, and gloves, and sees that they are properly hung. After he surveys the room it is then his turn to criticize his son for his negligence in his per sonal appearance and untidy habits about the house. The situation is al tered entirely. Jane and Arthur are shocked at the change in their father, but are also pleased, and realize that they have criticized him unduly. The var ious complications are cleared up and the family is reunited. The ro mance of Arthur and Rose, Jane and Dick are climaxed at the close of the play with the blessings of Mr. Smith. The play was coached by Miss Es her Sibert and parts were taken by nembers of the junior class. Gross receipts were said to be -60. Hospital Notes.

Remodeling of Headquarters Bene ficial to Economical Handling; Efficient System Used. In the first pool for this season turkey growers shipped 1805 birds through the Eastern Oregon Turkey Growers’ association here Wednes day,' November 8. These birds run 90 per cent prime, which indicates that growers are learning the busi ness of raising the great American birds. The shipment totalled 23,4 67 pounds. A down payment of ten cents for price birds, eight cents for common, and six cents for commercial birds was made to growers at the time of shipment, but the market is too un certain. officials said, to determine what the final payment will be. This car will probably be sent to an eastern market. The total number of birds and poundage, not including commercial stock, is as follows: 657 PYT .................... 11,005 lbs. 912 PYH ........................... 9,233 lbs. 7 POT ..................... 175 lbs. 61 POH ........................... 823 lbs. The association is operating in its new headquarters this year which it has leased from the Hermiston Ir rigation district. Improvements have made it possible for the association to operate efficiently and economic ally. The new arrangement under the present system permits the most economical operation for shipping turkeys of any association known In the United States. The growers unload their birds at an office wibre they are graded and weighed. They are then placed on tables where the heads are wrapped; they are then placed on the final grading table, and from there placed in boxes. Sizes and weights are doubly checked and the association has the record of having made very efficient grading according to boxes. —• =- C. M.

Holt, Sec retary of Pendleton, Umatilla Coun ty Agent, woolgrowers from the far corners of Oregon are scheduled to floek to Lakeview for the 37th An nual Convention of the Oregon Wool Growers association on November 13 and 14. The opening session will occur at the Lake County Court- house at 10:00 A. M., Monday, Nov ember 13. Word has been sent out by the Freemont Sheepmen's association of Lake County that plans are being made for the finest entertainment that Oregon Wool Growers have ever experienced at their annual conven tions, and Lakeview is well known for its hospitality. The Lakeview Chamber of Commerce and the Twenty-Thirty Club of that south- eastern Oregon town have commit tees diligently at work attending to the smallest detail of this annual event of the Oregon Wool Growers association. The business program of the con vention has been organized to in clude same very important topics which are now for solution by sheep men in Oregon, and throughout the western range sheep districts. A hot fight is being waged by certain in terests to batter down the freight rates on westbound shipments of dressed meat, but lamb producers of the west are fully awake to the fact that such development would quick ly lead to a definite reduction in prices paid for live animals. This controversy will be aired at the con vention, as will the new meat code and related features of the Agricul tural Adjustment Act. There are those who predict that this latter program will eventually force sheep owners to reduce the sizes of their flocks, and sheepmen everywhere are keeping a weather eye on this development.
