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.)

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'
