important field in the west. Lehman

HIGH-PRICED TURKEYS
Are NOW PREDICTED

Foreboding of high priced turkeys
this wear are seen in agriculture de-
partment announcements that despite
a steady increase in the price of tur-
KEYS production has steadily de-
creased The average price received
durin4 the four months, October to
January, 1915-1016 was Is cents a
pound. The average price received
during a similar period of 1920-21 was
80 cents per pound, according to the
departments figures.
In 1900 the census figures showed
6,594,695 turkeys on farms in the Uni
ted States, while in 1910 there were
only 3,6SS, 70S and in 1920 there were
3.627 ops. During the last six years
the price of turkeys has increased to
the consumer more than 100 per cent
while during the past 20 years the
number of turkeys produced has de-
creased about SO per cent, the depart
ment states.
The difficulties of raising turkeys
is given as the reason for the product
ion decrease. They are hard to raise,
because of wandering, propensities,
and a disease known as 'blackhead"
to which they are easy prey. 1t is
difficult to ship live turkeys to market
and when shipped dressed there is
large amount of shrinkage.
However, the raising of turkeys
may be a very profitable occupation
where there is abundance Of range,
ample feed and reasonable freedom
from predatory animals, the depart
ment adds.

OREGON VICTORS
BY 8 TO 0 SCORE
WET FIELD AND HEAVY LINE
PROVES TOO GREAT A
HANDICAP

oregon again defeated the Idaho
Vandals when she took the long end
OF to 0 score this afternoon on
the Multnomah field at Portland
making the fifteenth victory out OF
seventeen games played between the
two colleges.
The wet, sOggy field and heavy
weight of the Oregon lineup was too
much Of handicap for the Idaho
team. They fought continuously,
but were unable to go through Tor
a touchdown, although within strik-
ing distance twice.
Luck again played an important
part in Idaho's defeat, and took the
ball out of the Vanda1's possession
in the first period when within the
shadows of the Lemon-yellow goal.
OregOn's main stay was Chapman,
playing quarter, who did practically
all OF the running as we'll as handl-
ing the passing end of the game for
the WebfOOters, and was responsible
for the only score of the game when
he placed a field goal between the
Idaho goal posts during the first few
moments of the second quarter, af-
ter pushing the ball down to the
3O-yard line on trick plays and wide
end runs.
The third quarter was a vertible
punting dual between Brown and
Chapman, the advantage resting with
Idaho during the exchange. The
Idaho line held as well as could be
expected considering the wet, soggy
condition of the field, which was COW
cred with several inches of sawdust.
1daho's best opportunity came dur
ing thu last eight minutes Of play,
when she rushed the ball down to
within ten yards of the Oregon goal
posts on four neat passes which net
ted As yards. A continuation of the
arial attack, however, spelled doom
for the Vandals, as another pass was
intercepted by Parsons, and Oregon
Immediately puted out of danger, and
the game ended to 0.
Idaho started the ball rolling in
the first frame by taking the ball
down to the 22-yard line on a series
of brilliant end runs and long pass
-es, but lost the ball on a. tumble
From then until the last quarter,
they were never within striking dis
tance of the Oregon goal, and played
a defensive game rather than one
of offense.
A crowd of over 10000 people were
out to see the game. Idaho rooters
occupied center section in the huge
grandstand and were given every
courtesy by the Oregon rooters.
Idaho's punts averaged over 40
yards, while those of Oregon were
little more than 35 yards. The ex-
cellent kicking of Brown for Idaho
aided materially in staving off of the
.onrush of the Oregon men.
