Driving furiously to overpower the Bulldogs in the final 15 minutes of the game, the Waitsburg Cardi nals turned in a 9-0 victory over Hermiston last Friday afternoon on their home field. The Bulldogs held the ball in , their own territory during most of the first half but lost their grip af ter the first points which came on a safety late in the third quarter when a Hermiston lateral from the Bull dogs’ own three-yard line was knocked down and slapped across the goal line by one of the Bulldog players. This was ruled an auto matic safety and the Cardinals moved ahead. The touchdown came In the final period, with three men deserving full shares of the credit for the score. A Hermiston punt from the Bull- * dog 18 was blocked by big Andrew Keve, hard-hitting Cardinal tackle, and recovered on the Hermiston three-yard marker by Bob Rhay, sophomore end. Two plays later Joe Buroker dashed through right tackle and over the line. Keve calmly placekicked the extra point. Hermiston almost scored in the second quarter, with a touchdown drive being halted by the whistle. Taking the ball after a Waitsburg punt on the 50, the Bulldogs moved up to the 35 when the Cardinals were penalized 15 yards for piling. A one-yard dash by Alstott, left half, a 13-yard gain by Stewart Rankin, right half, another six yards by Alstott and six more by Rankin put the ball on the Cardinal nine- yard line for a first down. The half came before another play could be attempted. A spectacular aerial offensive by Waitsburg in the third quarter saw three straight passes click for 34 yards. A fumble by a Cardinal player enabled Hermiston to recov er on their own 11-yard line, how ever, and Jeppe punted out. Keve. Rhay. Hays. Joe Buroker. La Mott and Neace were standouts for Waitsburg, although the entire team played stellar ball. Hermis ton’s leading lights were S. Rankin, Alstott, Jeppe and Stewart. Stew art, 200-pound tackle, stood out in the line, making a large percentage of the tackles. Waitsburg punted seven times for an average of 32 yards; while Her miston punted six times for an aver age of 30 yards. Hermiston made six first downs, while Waitsburg made five. Waitsburg attempted 10 passes and completed four for 49 yards, while Hermiston tried six. completing four for 28 yards. Each team intercepted one pass.

MORNING GLORY EXPERIMENTS In 1930 the Umatilla County Agent's office established rather ex tensive morning glory control ex periment plots. Almost 40 differ ent kinds of treatments were made at various seasons of the year. After six years, it seems desirable for the farmers of the country to have an opportunity to see the results of these experiments. Some plots are entirely free of morning glory now. on the basis of but one treatment. Beginning at 2:00 P. M Friday. October ». there will be a field meet ing at these plots which are located on the Grace Sievers farm, north- west of Pendleton. To reach the plots from Pendleton, follow to the top of the Nelson grade and turn left at the first cross road beyond the top of the grade. Go west about one-half mile. The public fe Invi- ted. of the Heppner club, who is in charge of womens’ activities in the club, was also a speaker. Mrs. Brown is organizing ladles’ clubs within the Townsend clubs and arranged for a meeting here Tuesday, October 13th, urging all the ladies to be present. The meet ing will be held at the home of Mrs. F. E. Earnhart at 2:00 o’clock In the afternoon and all interested la dies are urged to be present. A large group of Townsendites represented the local club at the meeting Tuesday. —------- v t»——— CLUB JUDGING TEAM PLACES The livestock judging team from the west end of Umatilla county won third place in the state, and sixth in the northwest, with 50 teams competing, at the Pacific In- ternational Livestock Exposition in Portland last Saturday.

J Farmers in the Minnehaha dist rict have gone in tor turkeys in a big way with small new flocks crop ping out this year and the growers of long standing raising the same number of birds as previously or in creasing their flocks. Eleven differ ent growers are raising flocks of between 400 or 2000 birds. > E. L. Jackson is raising his first commercial flock of 400 birds pur chasing the poults from H. G. Ran kin early in June. Until two years ago the Jacksons had raised a few birds with turkey hens. This year they turned their chicken house in to a brooder which has a capacity for 750 poults. Dry mash is kept before the birds at all times but a wet mash, moist ened with milk, is fed at noon, and grain twice daily. The Jacksons be lieve that the additional milk adds to immunity from disease, but the main reason for feeding the wet mash is to increase the weight of the late birds as rapidly as possible for an early market. Other New Producers. Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Casseday are also new growers with a flock of 500 bronze birds. They came from Walla Walla and purchased what Is known as the Silvey place on the Butter Creek highway. Mrs. Casse day is a sister of Mrs. A. E. Bensel. They also maintain a flock of White Minarca chickens and expect to put 100 pullets in the laying house this fall. The Cassedays secured poults from Mitchell in Washington. These are a duck breasted, short legged, bronze bird. They expect to keep 250 toms and 100 hens for breeding stock, and will sell some of the toms to other producers as breeding stock. A 20x60 brooder house was built this spring which has a concrete floor, heated by a hot water system, arranged with the hovers over the pipes. Growers from Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Keller came here two years ago from Reno Coun ty, Kansas, and increased their tur key flock from 234 last year to 900 this year. In Kansas they raised a flock of 100 birds at a much great er cost and effort than they raise 900 birds here, they say. Mr. and Mrs. Keller and their son, with oc casional help from a hired man, take care of the birds. They have a 12x46 brooder house with a hot water system. The hovers are above the pipes to produce the effect of warmth as from the turkey hen, believed the most satisfactory system of brooding. The birds have ranged on al falfa consuming the third crop and eliminating the necessity of feeding chopped green feed. The poults were purchased May 21st and now the largest toms weigh 20 pounds and the poults between 11 and 13 pounds. The Kellers have a turkey story 2000 miles long—running between Kansas and Oregon. Flocks Gradually Increased. Two years ago the Cleve Clarks who live on the Butter Creek high way, turned their dairy barn Into a brooder house and concentrated their efforts in the turkey business. In the near future they expect to build an addition to the present house. They do their own custom hatching in three Master and one Never Fail incubator, having fair luck until a year ago when the eggs were allowed to get too dry. causing a decrease In percentage of hatches. Last year they kept 80 hens for breeding stock and expect to keep 150 this year. The first turkeys were raised almost exclusively on milk in the year when butterfat was 13 cents per pound. This was not sat isfactory, however, because of the necessity of changing the formula for feed later in the season, causing a loss in time and a check In weight advance on the birds. The Clarks plant corn early, in April If possible, which brings it to early maturity and allows feeding In the fall during the finishing per iod. Corn is one of the best feeds but requires more labor than wheat. The birds range over a large area and this is arranged by moving the roosts daily to clean ground The birds are now gradually being mov ed toward the corn field where they will range. Fla mo brooders are used In the brooder house which Is equipped with a hot water system The house is divided into five sections, each with a sun porch. Weather Report Max. Min.
