"Chats With Your. Home Agent" By ESTHER KIRMIS Whore were you when the lights went out last Monday night. . . Well, I was left in quite a predicament! I was to present my "lession in color" to the Mothers club of Heppner at the home of Mrs Rod Murray. A part of my presentation was a filmstrip on "Color, the Key to Good Decorating" and a "work session" on color problems. Just about the time I got up to speak the lights went out and we laughlingly chatted about .this and that waiting for them to come back on. After 10 minutes, we decided we were doomed to "candlelight" for the evening, so we proceeded as best we could.. The "make-shift" of the whole presentation made it quite amusing and here when I was trying to make an Impression!

As I have mentioned before, the energies of these 4-H leaders truly amaze me. I'm sure the success of our 4-H program Is due to their loyal backing. I sDent all dav Thursday In the Boardman and Irrigon area. I had lunch at the home of Mrs M E Hadwick. Irrigon 4-H leader, who is doing a wonderful job with her cluD, "ine nappy sew ers". Mrs Hadwick is quite an unusual person. She has raised her family and now devotes her energies to leading a 4-H club for her eranddaushter and her friends. There are ten girls in the club and they meet every week in Mrs HadwicK's large "family room" for their meet In ps. Thev had lust completed a "community service" project while awaiting their new i a material. Each girl had stuffed a plastic toy they are going to nrpspnr thpm to the Umatilla and Hermiston hospitals for their young patients. Mrs HaawicKS red -headed husband, who works at the Ordnance depot, quietly applauds her worn wun inese youngsters and once in awhile takes a picture of the group to keep up his hobby of photog raphy. While in Irrigon, we visited Mrs Minnie Skiles, who is a new leader of the girls in advanced sewing. (Angela Gustafso n ' s former club). We found Mr and Mrs Skiles busily pouring ce mint for a new back step for their lovelv new home in Irrigon. The Skiles come from Wasco county. They are supposed to be retired, but I'm wondering? In Boardman, Mrs Maurine Malone and I met with some young 4-H girls to reorganize their foods club. Mrs Malone has taken over the leadership of the "Mother's Helpers" club since Mrs Don David has departed. Eight girls enrolled: Diana Ma lone, Dewena West, Elberta Car penter, Carina Malone, and San dra McKenzie are enrolled in "Main Dish Meals" (third year foods) and Shirley Dixon, Kath erine Palmer and Linda White maji are enrolled in "Mealtime Fun" (first year foods). Officers elected were: Diana Malone, president; Dewena West, vice president; Carina Malone, secretary-treasurer; Sandra McKen zie, news reporter and Linda Whiteman, song leader. These girls' showed a lot of enthusiasm and I know they will have a good year. We are mak ing plans to reorganize the Boardman clothing club on November 18. Mrs Mildred. Mc Quaw is the leader.

Rapid growth along the West Coast offers cood market tiro. spects for livestock Droducts. the circular points out. The wheat- iaiiow area is particularly well located in relation to Portland Seattle, and Spokane markets. Feed grains, chieflv barlev. are grown on nearly all of the wheat farms in the summer-fallow area. the circular reports. This makes it possible for farmers with rangeland in addition to their wheatland to make cood use of a beef or other livestock enter prises. Results of a study reported in the circular show that selec tion of a proper beef enterprise depends principally on amount of useable rangeland on the wheat farm and on available capital. Farmers with limited capital may have to start slowly with a small cow-calf or cow-yearling enterprise, the circular recogniz es, But when sufficient funds are available, a cow herd-feed- lot combination was estimated to bring highest returns. Where little rangeland is available, and only a small num ber of calves can be raised, pur chased feeders will be needed along with home raised animals HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES, Thursday, November 13, 1358 to spread overhead costs over enough animals to be profitable. The circular includes tables giving capital requirements and estimated net returns for varying sizes of beef operations on wheat farms with around 1500 acres of rangeland, and for farms with 750 acres or less or rangeland. Beef-production possibilities for ranches with these amounts of rangeland are examined. The circular, titled "Beef Pro duction, Columbia Basin Wheat fallow Area," was written by Randolph Barker and C V Plath, OSC agricultural economists.
