VOLUME XXL gussw* •10 WILL LEAD OFF FROM EXPERIMENT STATION. % Program Will Include Turkey Pick ing Contest and Fat Man’s Race; General Invitation Extended. The Eastern Oregon Turkey Grow ers' association expects to have one of the beet annual turkey tours and picnics ever put on by local growers this August 17. Prominent speakers on the program will include A. Willardson, salee agent for the turkey growers' cooperative at Los Angeles, J. C. Leedy, field man for the Oregon Turkey Growers', of Portland, and H. E. Cosby, extension poultry specialist from O.S.C. The committee has arraged for the tour to start at 9:30 in the morning from the Umatilla Experiment Sta tion where H. K. Dean will present findings at the station to growers. From there the tour will proceed to the I. C. Cox farm, Chas. Keller and J. H. DeMoss farms. The tour will terminate at Columbia park where a basket dinner will be enjoyed and a program presented later. Among interesting features on the program will be a turkey picking contest with four entries and three worth-while prizes. Information on rules of the contest may be secured from W. A. Sawyer, assistant coun ty agent. A fat man’s race is an other feature. The fat men among the turkey growers challenge the fat men among Hermiston business men. The prize, they say, is to be collect ed at the end of the rainbow. Musical numbers will also be ar ranged for the program by Donald DeMoss and an invitation has been extended to the public to attend. The tour and picnic does not exclude those who are not turkey raisers. Chester Flannigan, chairman of the committee, announced. Other members of the committee include H. K. Dean, Neill Robertson, Donald DeMoss, Mr. and Mrs. John Jendrzejewski, Mrs. I. C. Cox and Mrs. Flannigan. Ice cream, coffee and roasted turkey will be furnished by .the association but each indivi dual family is requested to bring their own dishes.

My dear friend Elmer: "I read your letter of recent date with very much pleasure indeed, to gether with clippings.

Fred Steiwer and am, how- I are going together. ever, going to present it once more to the President though I am still aware of the fact that Colonel Rob ins, by his economic report, has made it practically impossible of fulfilment until we have modified that report. “I regret more than anything that the delay in the meeting, by reason of West’s personal motion, has car ried the hearing over until Decem ber 15th. Help us gather together the data so that we can make a showing on that December 15th meeting. We will cause an entire change" in Robins’ report. I note what you say about Robins and what he told you. Be gathering the data now. Soon after I return we must have a meeting and map out our plan. or program. Very sincerely yours, WALTER M. PIERCE, M.C. 4-H CLUB PREMIUM LIST SOON AVAILABLE.
