Delegation from the Hermiston Post No. 37 of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary Unit left Wednesday for Astoria where they will attend the state Legion convention. August 33rd to 25th.

The report has reached Hermis ton that Mrs. A. W. Christopherson, president of district No. 6, has been asked to enter the race for state vice president of the American Legion Auxiliary.

HERMISTON NOP HARVEST WILL START SEPTEMBER 8 NEW LOCKRIDGE HOP KILN WILL HANDLE CROP. New Yards in Columbia and Stan field District This Year; Produc tion Expected to be Average. The Hermiston hop crop will soon be rolling into the new kiln recently completed at the O. T. Lockridge hop yard southeast of town. Mr. Lockridge expects to arvest his crop starting Septem ber 8. and will employ 75 pickers ind balers. Mr. Lockridge anticipates that his crop will double that of last year with a ton and a quarter production per acre average on the eight acres. The 1933 crop of baby hops averaged four tons for the entire season and this Is the second year of production for the yard. The new kiln will be used to dry and bale hops harvested on the new yards at the Bill Whitsett place in Columbia district and the Paul Mil- ler place near Stanfield. The pro duction on these new yards is esti mated for both at 12 to 14 tons. It takes 16 or 18 hours to dry 1400 pounds of hops Mr. Lockridge says, i nd esch crop will be dried and baled separately. Mr. Lockridge shipped his hops into Washington to be dried and baled last year. Hop growing on the Hermiston and Stanfield projects is a compara tively new industry but was con sidered to be successful enough to warrant additional investment for another year. It is predicted that hop growing will be one of the ma jor Industries on the project in the future. ‘ h y RESULTS OF RABBIT POISONING CAMPAIGN NOW BEING SEEN The rabbit poisoning campaign being staged in the west snd of Umatilla county in the Stanfield, Hermiston, Columbia and Butter creek districts will close soon. The Umatilla county court allowed 850 to finance the campaign which has been used to distribute bait in these districts. Poison was distributed in sections of the Westland district today (Thursday) which is expected to close the campaign for this sea- son. A total of 120 ounces of poison has been used In 2400 pounds of chopped green alfalfa as bait, and farmers have expressed themselves as being well pleased with the re- suits, W. A. Sawyer, assistant coun ty agent said today. Soon after poison bait had been placed In the Stage Gulch district F. 8. Green reported that a new seeding of rye grass and sweet clover on his farm had shown a noticeable growth within a few days, when hitherto it had appeared to remain at a standstill. The slow growth was then said to be due to destruction being done by rabbits. $.................... $ • • ♦ ALONG THE CONCRETE ♦ Mrs. Guy Amsberry carried an alarm clock on her wrist as she left for the American Legion convention at Astoria, in order that she would know when It was time te retire.
