Interest in baseball staged a comeback Sunday afternoon when Hermiston won its first league game of the season against Echo in an 18 to 11 score. Echo opened the scoring in the second round when Berry went over the plate for the first score. How ever, Hermiston boys started scoring in the third inning when six men went over the plate in rapid succes sion. Echo’s rally in the first of the fifth inning came within one point of the Hermiston score when they tallied four runs, Hermiston came back strong in the eighth when they chalked up nine runs to win the game. Hermiston players connected with 18 safe hits against Berry, while Echo made ten safe hits against Ko- pacz and R. Woodward who hurled for Hermiston. Ray Woodward of Hermiston knocked the only home run of the game by laying one against the fence in the eighth inning. Bob Woodward, well known local pitcher, is expected to be back in the Hermiston line-up soon, which will strengthen the team greatly and put the local team in the run ning for the league championship. The local boys meet the Mission Indians at Pendleton next Sunday. Sunday’s scores were as follows: • LEGION AUXILIARY NOTES ♦ STATE PRESIDENT ENTER TA1NED BY AUXILIARY Mrs. Dorothy Aiken, state presi dent of the American Legion Auxil iary, and member of the Carl B.

COUNTY AGENT HOLT EXPLAINS CORN-HOG REDUCTION CONTRACT MANY SIGNERS MISUNDERSTAND TERMS AS STATED. Secondary Agreement Dealing With Crops and Livestock Confusing; Corn-Hog Provision Clear. Questions are constantly arising as , to what you have agreed to do when you sign the Corn-Hog Reduc tion Contract. The purpose of this letter is to call to your attention the various requirements of the contract. Vio- lation of the contract must be avoid ed and if in doubt as to the validity of auy proposed farming enterprise. it would be wise to consult the County Agent before proceeding. The primary agreements as to cutting hog production 25% and corn acreage 20% are well under stood by all. As to the secondary agreements dealing with other farm crops and livestock, there still re- mains some lack of understanding. It is well for you, therefore, to con sider the statements given here for your own protection under this deal. it you are eligible to sign a corn contract, the 20% or 30% acreage that you take out of production can be bandied as follows: 1. It can be planted to permanent pasture and grass in 1934 providing a nurse crop is not used. The pas ture crops permitted include Blue Grass, Red Top, Timothy, Meadow Fescue, Red Clover, Alsike Clover, White Clover, Alfalfa, Brome Grass, or Orchard Grass. Sweet Clover can be planted also but it cannot be grazed in 1334. 2. Permanent pasture can be pas tured In 1934 by livestock that is not to be marketed, and products from such livestock are not to be sold. “A Xlt can be planted to sell build- Ing crops not to be harvested, or to trees, or It may be summer fallowed. You must limit basic commodities as follows: 1. Crop acreage of basie crop* which is wheat under Oregon condi tions must not be increased above the amount planted in 1932 or 1933, whichever is higher. 2. The number of dairy cattle milked in 1934 meet not exceed the highest number milked In 1932 or 1933 where the product is to be placed on the market. We are told that it will be permissible to milk additional cows providing the pro- duct from them Is used on the farm as food or for household consump- tlon. 3. In case other commodities are declared basic under the Farm Act during the year, you are not per- mitted to increase production of those commodities after they added to the law. Feed Crops : 1. You are not permitted to in- crease the acreage of feed crops which include oats, barley, rye, or any other grain that is occasionally threshed and used for livestock. 2. Hay crops that are not fre quently harvested for grain may be Increased but it is not allowable to plant more grain for bay this year than was grown In 1932 or 1133, whichever was higher. The total crop acreage must not be Increased over 1932 or 1933.
