4-H CLUB PREMIUM CHECKS
MAILED INDIVIDUALS TUESDAY
The elk season may decide the
outcome of some of the races for
county positions in the general elec
tion next month. The open season
on elk begins November 5 and the
open season on political candidates
the next day.
Because of this many hunters will
be out of town. It is estimated by
E. B. Casteel, county clerk, that sev
eral hundred nimrods from this
county will be in the mountains on
election day. Last year more than
600 licenses were issued in this
county and a fraction of that many
votes could easily elect or defeat an
office seeker.
In order that the hunters who
will be away on election day may
vote. Mr. Casteel announces that
they may vote by absentee ballot be
fore the opening of the elk season.
These ballots will be on hand at his
office in the court house In Pendle-
ton about October 25. After being
filled out by the voter, they are
sealed and put in the ballot box of
his precinct to be opened when the
ether votes are counted. There is
no charge for this service.

completed for a tour of inspection
of turkey raisers’ farms which start
ed Thursday, October 18. The pres-
ident, J. Jendrzejewski, and Assist-
ant County Agent W. A. Sawyer are
making the survey.
Reports were received from Mer
rill Potter, who recently returned
from attending a meeting of the
Northwest Turkey Growers’ associa
tion at Salt Lake City, and from Mr.
Sawyer and Mr. Jendrzejewski who
attended a meeting of the Oregon
units at Portland, October 5. Pool
dates and method of handling were
discussed at these meetings, the re-
ports showed. Mr. Jendrzjewskl said
that the following was contained in
a report given by J. C. Leedy at the
Portland meeting:
A substantial reduction in turkey
crops is in prospect this year, ac
cording to Mr. Leedy, manager Of
the Oregon Turkey Cooperatives, Inc.
Reports were received from all of
the western states, and many of the
mid-western states, where turkey
growing is an Important branch of
agriculture, and summarized at the
meeting of the regional marketing
organization, owned and controlled
by the growers.
The greatest decrease, as shown
by the reports, has taken place in
New Mexico, were 25% less turk
eys have been grown this year. Idaho
follows with a 21% reduction, while
the extremely large tonnage in Tex
as has been decreased by 20%. Mon
tana reported a 15% to 20% de
crease and Colorado a 10% decrease.
Similar crops to last year's reduced
tonnage were reported in Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and Wyoming,
California and Utah alone reported
slight increases.
The reports given by the repre-
sentatives of the Northwest Turkey
Growers association are further sub
stantiated by a survey of all of the
western states, conducted by W. D.
Buchanan, poultry specialist of the
Washington State college at Pull
man, Washington.
The Oregon turkey crop this seas
on is further advanced than in any
recent year, according to Mr. Leedy,
and growers are confidently expect
ing better prices. Competing meats
are in smaller supply and higher in
price than a year ago, and the turk
ey crop is shorter. All of which con
firms the growers in the belief that
turkey prices will be better, If the
crop is marketed in an orderly man

ALONG THE CONCRETE
Sam Moore inquired Tuesday if we
knew of anyone who had a printing
press to trade for a bird dog and a
shot gun. He thought that with the
number of posted places over the
project it might be more profitable
than hunting. (Just inquire at the
house, Sam, and they'll 1st you hunt
on their places, if you don't mistake
a young turkey for a pheasant.)
We don’t know of a better excuse
for a young man to get married
than when he wins an electric re
frigerator. But when this happened
to Frank A. Reberger of Echo it
didn't suddenly decide him in favor
of making the move, although he did
box his winnings and sent them to
his sweetheart back home, who
makes apple pies with golden brown
pie crust.
