Mermintun Aerali VOLUME XXX NUMBER s BULLDOGS SCORE 6-0 AGAINST CONDON ELEVEN PENALTIES MANY TWO MEN DIRECTLY RESPON SIBLE FOR SCORE; MEET ATHENA TEAM FRIDAY. Although losing enough ground through penalties to add up a doz en touchdowns, the Hermiston Bull dogs eked out a single touchdown for victory in the closing minutes of the game with Condon here last Fri- day afternoon. They failed to con vert, making the score 6-0. The lone touchdown came when Seeliger, after failing in'several at tempts to make a good return, broke loose and returned the ball 30 yards from the middle of the field. Two more plays brought the ball for first down on the Condon seven yard line. Pulling himself out of line, Captain Stewart, 200 pound Bulldog tackle, bucked the line in the first play to within half a yard of vic tory. Seeliger then took the ball over the line. With only a few minutes left in the game, the Condon boys went for ward to make long end runs. Stew art, by a dandy tackle, stopped the Condon player who was headed for an open field. In the Bulldog’s anxiety to win the contest numerous penalties were called for off-sider These were especially costly when the Bulldogs lost yardage after making long end runs. Hermiston business men gave their support by closing their places of business to attend the game. This was the last home game until Armis tice Day when the Bulldogs tangle with their ancient rival. Heppner. The Bulldogs meet the strong Ath ena team at Athena today (Friday.) Games won and lost to date are: Pasco 0, Hermiston 0; Waitsburg 9, Hermiston 0; Condon 0, Hermiston 6. Football Schedule.

NORMAL STUDENT VISITS UMATILLA ELEVEN AMONG DISTRICTTURKEY PRODUCERS SEVEN TELL STORIES A. E. Bensels Among First Growers; Increase in Production Indi cated for 1937. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Bensel are among the eleven turkey producers who are going into the turkey busi ness with an increased flock this year, and plan further increase for the coming season. They formerly lived in the North Hill district, moving into the Minnehaha district three years ago. The flock of 450 bronze birds which the Bensels have this year were brooded in a new 24x60 brood er house. It is built into the bank south of the house, with cement gra vel walls covered by boards on the interior. A cement floor will be poured for the building this fall. Mrs. Bensel was probably the first person on the project to raise turkeys. The first year she raised 35 birds, out of which she shipped 18 to Seattle receiving $75.50. The birds were brought to matur ity in an improvised home-made brooder consisting of a large box with burlap sacks as hovers. The birds ranged in a small pen made of boards to break the wir but with no covering. The only artificial heat used was when jars of hot wa ter were placed about the pens. This system was used for five years, or until the brooder house was built this spring on their present farm. The second year Mrs. Bensel raised 150 turkeys and these she sold to W. A. Mikesell, who fed the birds until market time and sold them at a fair profit. For a few years Mrs. Bensel did not raise turkeys and then In 1929 she cleared 11000 on her flock of 400 birds. Since that time she has raised them regularly and expects to keep between fifty and sixty hens for breeding stock this year. The first incubators hatched about the middle of April and one machine which had a capacity of 155 eggs hatched out 150 poults. This did not prove to be an average hatch, however, and later hatches ran much lower. An increase in the flock Is anti cipated next year with 1000 birds placed on the range. Feed for the birds is purchased from the Farm Bureau Co-operative, except corn which is planted at an early season. This is fed to the birds for two months before marketing, through the Eastern Oregon Turkey Growers' (Continued on Page 3) *********** • MINNEHAHA • • BUTTER CREEK • • ------ ♦ The U-go I-go club met for an all day meeting on Friday at the home of Mrs. Cleve Clark, with Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Hammon as hostesses.
