Civic Club Holds Regular Meeting.

The Heppner Civic Club held their
regular business meeting on last Friday
afternoon in the council chambers with
fairly good attendance. Several plans
for improvement work were discussed
and our reporter says that the members
are enthusiastic and in earnest and it
is expected that Heppner will soon be
on the way to be the City Beautiful.
The matter of giving financial sup
port to the band was presented and
gone over but the club could not see
their way clear to take hold of this
proposition just as it was presented.
on Friday, March 18th, there will be
a social meeting of the club at the home
Of Mrs. D. Il, Gilman. A short program
will be given and all women interested
in becoming working members of the
club are cordially invited.

FARM POINTERS.

Lime-sulphur spray is recommended
to prune growers who have suffered
from attacks of the peach and prune
twig miner. The spray should be used
at dilution of 12 gallons of lime-sul-
phur to 100 gallons of water. This
spray should be applied during per-
iod of settled weather and previous TO
opening of the buds. When rightly
used little or no injury by twig miners
will occur-O. A. C. Experiment Sta
tion.
Cauliflower plants are often injured
by frost if set out too early. This has
tendency to check growth and cause
the plant to produce small cauliflow-
er head, often no larger than carna-
ton. 1t is best to wait until the wealth
er is more settled before the plants are
field set. The most valuable cauli-
flower crop is usually grown In late
summer or fall, the seed being sown in
May, transplanted in late June, and the
crop maturing in October or November.

BASKET BALL TEAM OFF
FOR SALEM WEDNESDAY

The Heppner high school triumphant
basketball quintet took hike for Sa-
lem Wednesday morning to take part
in the events of the state tournament
there the remainder of the week. They
were in charge of their coach, Prof
Heard, and left the city in the finest Of
trim, fully confident that they would
be winners in the tournament finals.
1t was thought at first that the Hepp-
ner boys would not get to so, as there
seemed to be some question regarding
their standing. Word received from
Salem Tuesday morning settled the
question. Heppner was to represent
the district between Hood River and
Pendleton, and then the question was
to get the boys down to the capital city.
Salem would take care OF the fare one
way but the boys did not have the
necessary to pay the other half. This
was soon settled when the matter was
put before the business men Of the city
and the cash provided. The boys going
to Salem were Peterson. Aiken. Young,
Howell McDuffee, Ferguson and Child
sey.
Heppner has been a winner in all
contests in the association and we be
iieve the boys will make further win
uings at Salem, thus putting our town
and school on the map in fine style.
