There will be a meeting of the Umatilla Project Farm Bureau, in the Methodist Church, Friday, April 27th, at 8:00 P. M. At this time, a Fair Board will be elected for the coming year, and other business will come up. C. M. JACKSON, Secretary. Oregon counties that are facing a possible serious grasshopper in festation this year will be enabled to obtain federal assistance to car ry on eradication work under the terms of a recent appropriation. A committee headed by Paul V. Marls, director of extension at Oregon State college, has been appointed by W. A. Schoenfeld, dean of agricul ture, to set up organizations in the counties to bring about the coopera tive control work. This was done on instructions from Washington. Early indications were that Kla math, Lake, Deschutes and possibly Harney would be the counties seek ing this federal assistance. It is open to any county where grasshop- pers threaten to become a major menace to crops. Eradication work must be carried on, however, on a community basis. The federal funds are to be devoted largely to pur- chase of supplies for poisoning op erations. Successful control work was car ried on in Klamath county for sev eral years under a plan worked out by the county agent and experiment station entomologists, but county funds tor carrying on the campaign have not lately been available. DAIRYMEN AWAIT DECISION Now On Display. ON SURPLUS CONTROL PLAN The new Case No. 55 mower is now in stock at the Hermiston and Stanfield Grange Co-operative. This mower has all the latest features including bevel gears running in oil bath, pressure-fittings on all shafts giving positive lubrication to all bearings and is guaranteed throughout by the J. I. Case com pany. Agricultural adjustment officials back in Washington, D. C., to re view the results of 15 regional meet ings dealing with the proposed dairy surplus control plan have before them the almost unanimous endorse ment of the basic principles of the plan by representatives of the Pa cific Northwest industry as express ed in the Portland conference. The meeting was presided over by Wil liam A. Schoenfeld, dean of agricul ture at Oregon State college. Organized opposition to the pro duction control plan, reported to have been active in some of the re gional meetings, was not evident at the Portland conference, though there was some opposition, princi pally from a few who felt that the" whole economic system needs a radi cal overhauling. On final vote limi ted to actual producing dairymen or their representatives, the vote to fa vor the plan of production control with suggested modifications was in the ratio of six to one. What the decision will be as to putting the plan into effect will not be announced until officials com plete the examination of the reports from all of the 15 meetings. Federal officials at the Portland meeting were not at all certain that any plan would be launched, as they said the AAA has no desire to force a plan upon the industry or to launch one if the industry is seriously divided in support of it. Chief modifications of the pro posed plan asked by the Oregon, Washington and Idaho producers would first lengthen the base period from two to three years in arriving at a dairyman’s average production, would use other than processing tax funds to finance the disease control features of the plan, and would strengthen the requirement for a compensatory tax on oleomargarine. The conference also passed a sepa rate resolution addressed directly to the president asking his support for the proposed tax on imported vege table oils. A number of producers speaking in favor of the proposed plan of re duction in sales of from 10 to 20 per cent, pointed out that there might be some defects in the plan and It might be more difficult to Op erate than with some other commo dities, but that with more cows than ever before, the industry is confronted with a crisis in the form of probable price collapse to un heard-of laws for dairy products unless some form of control is in augurated quickly. Blister Rust Leader Transferred. L. N. Gooding, for 12 years in charge of white pine blister rust control work In the northwest, has been transferred by the federal de- nartment of agriculture from the Oregon Experiment station at Cor vallis to Arizona. He has been transferred from blister rust control work to the bureau of plant indus try and will be chief technical as sistant to the head of the erosion control work In the southwest states. Conrad Wessela, a recent graduate in forestry at O.S.C., will take over the blister rust control duties in Oregon. ■ -• = ----- FARM-DEBT ADJUSTMENT MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. Substantial progress has been made with the farm-debt adjust ment program of the Oregon Agri cultural Advisory council through the county farm-debt adjustment committees, according to O. M. Plum mer, Portland, state chairman, and L. R. Breithaupt, Oregon State Col lege, secretary. Already in 1934, It is estimated that the committees have assisted in one way or another with over 1,000 cases. Another indicator of the volume of work coming to these committees is the fact that the federal land bank of Spokane has referred ap proximately 750 cases to the Ore gon county committees for help. All of these cases arose from the neces sity for making adjustments in or der that the old debts of the far mer may be liquidated with the money that can be borrowed on a new loan. The county committeemen assist by giving information to distressed debtors and creditors, and by con ducting hearings and making recom mendations. Much work remains to be done in completing cases already started and on numerous cases yet to be registered, the state commit teemen report. The voluntary farm-debt adjust ment committee plan is now in use in 39 states and in over 1900 coun ties in the United States. The com mittees are without legal status, but work without compensation in a neighborly way to help people solve difficult financial problems. They are assisting materially to prevent unnecessary and severe actions of debtors and creditors toward each other, and aiding in the government program for refinancing farmers. County wheat production control associations in Oregon will soon be gin selecting local inspectors to ex amine each farm under contract to see If the agreed reduction of acre age and the required seeding has taken place. These Inspectors will all be local men and will be trained briefly in special schools. There will be about one inspector to each 100 farms. Their salaries will be set and paid by the county associa tion, which will probably encour age economy. Second payment of the 1933 cash benefits will await the completion of the inspection during May and June. Information Requested. Certificates of equity issued in 1925 numbered from 1 to 83, in clusive, have been called for re demption. For this purpose the ad- ress of the following persons. Is re quested. 71 W. H.

Fruit prospects in the east are the poorest in years, according to infor mation just secured by Walter A. Holt, County Agricultural Agent, through the Extension Service at the State College. The extremely low temperatures in February not only killed the buds from which this year’s crop would come, but did much damage to trees. It is believed that the greatest shortage of fruits will occur in Aug ust and September since most ex tensive damage has been to peaches and pears that normally ripen in these months. New England, New York and New Jersey peaches are a total loss this year. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and West Vir ginia also suffered severely but will have some for home use but no com mercial crop. Ohio, Indiana and Michigan all appear to be total fail ures. Normally this group of states produce millions of bushels of peaches. A lack of these peaches should create a demand for North western fruits, especially pears. Sweet cherries in New York and Ohio were damaged extensively, but sour cherries were less heavily dam aged. Bartlett pears, generally consi dered a hardy fruit, have been ser iously hurt. In New York, it Is be lieved that less than half a crop will be produced, even under most ideal conditions. The Michigan Bartlett production is also expected to be very small. Apple prospects appear to be a little better than peaches, cherries and pears, but they too, have suf fered much damage. Greatest in jury occurred in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Many of the trees may recover, but it is doubtful if they ever regain their full vigor. ------- • =-------- “THE BOWERY” DEPICTS BLITHE DAYS OF OLD “The Bowery” appearing at the Oasis theatre Friday and Saturday, is a stirring re-creation of legendary persons and places in the toughest section of New York in the tough est days of its history, when a joint was a "jernt" and a woman was a “skoit.” Barring a minor slip or two the dialogue, setting, costumes, and above all, the mode of life and the moral standards of the time and place appear to be authentic. In an atmosphere of honky-tonk saloons, volunteer fire brigades, bare-fist prize fights and horse- drawn cabs, a lively tale unfolds, motivated by the rivalry of Chuck Connors, played by Wallace Beery, and Steve Brodie, reincarnated by George Raft. Jackie Cooper, as a newsboy waif, brings in a poignant note of pathos, and Fay Wray, as a girl beloved of Connors and In love with Brodie, complicates the situa tions. Beery, as always, gives a fine per formance. The well-meaning, con ceited, profoundly Ignorant bully he creates as Connors seems at first a carticature, but as the story devel ops his manners and speech become acceptable and the character intens ely real and sympathy-compelling. Steve Brodie is the best part Geo rge Raft has had, and he gives it the best playing he has done since he began drawing featured roles. Though sympathy remains strongly with Connors, because in spite of his blustering he is a pathetic figure, this Brodie is a likable chap, a cocky braggart, ready with his wit or his fists, but disdaining unfair advantage in his enmity and ready always to take a gambler's chance, as in jumping off the Brooklyn bridge.

Pluto,” and chapter 11 of Devil Horse. —%- OREGON CITY—Certified White Rose potatoes are being planted ex tensively by Clackamas county far mers this year as a result of infor mation that this variety Is in great demand in California where It is used to plant approximately 90 per cent of the potato acreage, reports County Agent J. J. Inskeep. This variety Is popular, he says, because it stands rougher treatment than the Burbanks and yields about 100 sacks more per acre in the Irrigated sections of California. While it is of poorer quality than the Burbank, people will not pay enough to com pensate for the difference in yield, according to Inskeep. USE THEM ! HERALD WANT ADS PAY O.S.C. to Analyze Butter.

Culling the Hens The federal government Issues the following instructions about culling hens: “Cull all hens that are sick, weak, inactive, lacking In vigor, poor eaters; those with shrunken, hard, dull or whitish colored comb; those with thick stiff pelvis bones that are close together, and those that have a small spread or distance between the rear end of the keel and pelvic bones. Those that have a full firm or hard ab domen are also less desirable, and those that have molted or began to molt should he removed likewise.

The animal protein may be provided by fish meal or meat meal, while for the green grasses may he substituted alfalfa, clover, lawn clippings or other green stuffs. Ducks also require lots of water. Otherwise the laying ration Is very much like that fed to pullets In their laying houses. On free range ducks will require less animal protein. | ¡ 1 j | | | j । | Relics Aid Church Restoration Finding of relics during a war on the dentil watch beetle resulted tn the restoration of the south chapel of St. Mary's church, In Callington. England, to exactly what It was la 1438, when the church was consecrated. During the restoration of the old wagon roof, which had been practically destroyed by the beetle, an ancient piscina and a massive altar itone were found. The altar slab was discovered some time ago at the back of the belfry, where It was being used as a stepping stone. All these and other finds have been placed In their original position so that the chapel is as it was nearly 500 years ago. Fairy Flag Probably of all the relics of Dunve- gan Castle, Scotland, the most popu lar Is the fairy Hag of the Macleods, even more than a waistcoat worn by Prince “Charlie," and some of his hair In a locket. Tradition says the flag was the gift of a fairy whom a Mac leod chief wedded and then deserted. It Insures victory in battle for the clan and lures fish In shoals for the fisher, folk of Dunvegan. But the flag can be waved only three times for service to Its owners. Twice it has rendered help In dire need. Notice of Sheriff Sale.

Oregon WE Interested in Turkey Raising The feathered flocks around Ohio farm homes have generally taken on a more majestic appearance this sum mor because of the presence of numer ous flocks of turkeys. For. says p. B. Zumbro, poultry specialist for the Ohio State university, interest In tur key raising Is becoming more intense each year. Increased Interest resulted In a demand upon county agrientural agents to arrange a series of meetings for turkey growers, that they might talk over their problems. In line with the long-time pro gram of steadily Increasing the qua lity of dairy products, a national movement is now underway to eli minate all extraneous matter in but ter such as sometimes finds its way In before or during the manufactur ing process. The Oregon Dairy Pro ducta Improvement Association has made arrangements with the dairy department of Oregon State college to make analysis for detecting any such material for Oregon creameries at slight cost per sample.
