Needlettes Study Sewing Materials Elaine Gaarsland entertained the 4-H club at her home Sat urday morning, April 14. At the meeting we judged scissors, but tons, and tape measures, then there was a quick review on how to make a mitered corner. As the meeting progressed, we worked on our garments. The club has had work meet ings during February and March. The modeling training at the lone cafeteria in March was at tended by several of the mem bers. We were asked to model at the simplicity pattern style revue. Everyone had planned to model but Karen Hams was suddenly operated on for appen dicitis. Arleta McCabe, reporter PUTMAN FLYING INC.

Attending from here are Mrs, f-'nn F County Agent's Office Students Tour Gilliam As League Guests By N. C. ANDERSON Thirty-five Portland eighth grade school children and their chaperone teachers know a lot more about Eastern Oregon agri culture this week than they did last week. This, at least, is what Bob Jepsen and I believe after taking part in Friday's program of an agricultural tour for these eighth craders sponsored by sev eral agencies and individuals in Gilliam county. Bob attended as chairman of the Oregon Wheat Growers League public relations committee, I was an interested spectator hoping that Morrow county might do the same thing. The tour was aimed at acquaint ing these eighth graders with agricultural practices In eastern Oregon. Portland schools selected an outstanding eighth grade student from 35 of their eighth grades. The delegation with two eiehth grade teachers and the Portland city schools 4-H agent, who made arrangements at Port land, were picked up by an Ar lington school bus early Friday morning, arriving at the grade school at 10:30. After an orien tation meeting, the wheat league film, "Give us This Day" was shown on wheat farming in the Columbia Basin. After lunch the group accompanied by the Ar lington eighth grade class left for the Rock Creek school where they visited this one-room school with eighth grades and heard the history and activities of that school. On the way they viewed striD-cropping, erosion control dams, cross-wind seeding, stub Ernest Kirsch, Gilliam County agent as tour director, did a fine job in coordinating activities. We would like to see such ac tivities expanded so that each of the Columbia Basin counties would carry out such a project as this. We believe the place to start in getting a better under standing of agriculture is with our city boys and girls, e IVira. .i mnlnK fallrtur o rprpnl nnrc.

We know that there will be some tall tales told after this demonstration by the many "squeals" and excla mations made. It was interesting to see the scramble for bits of calf ears at the calf branding table after ears were notched for identification. These were treasured as souvenirs! Several were brave enough to brand a calf themselves, an experience those boys or girls will never forget. While we did not attend the Saturday tour we know from the agenda that the boys and girls had some good experiences. They got to see such things as sprinkler irrigation, soil bank grass seedings, an aerial spray ing of wheat to kill weeds, summerfallow operations a lot of farm equipment, quarter horses, farm elevators for handling and storing grain, a demonstration on washing a steer for show and sagebrush spraying. Another experience I am sure that the boys and girls enjoyed was stay ing at their "host homes" Fri day and Saturday night. The host families took one and two boys or girls to stav with them on their ranches these nights. There were lots of exclamations made when they were told that they would be staying .as far as sixty miles apart between Arlington and Mayville ranches. We are sure that these boys and girls will have a lot of good things to say on their return about agriculture and their experience on this trip to their schoolmates, parents and others. We think that this was one of the finest agricultural public relations pro grams that an agricultural area might sponsor. The project, first proposed by the Gilliam County Wheatgrowers Association asked the Oregon Wheat Growers League to consider such a public relation program this year. Since funds did not permit this group in carrying out the program, the Gilliam county group decided to try it themselves. Assisted by the Gilliam County Soil Conservation District, Soil Conservation ser vice, Gilliam County Public Schools, Gilliam County 4-H Leaders Association, the County Wheatgrowers Association, Gill iam County Granges, Farm Bureau. Orecon State University and the Agricultural Committee, Portland Chamber of Commerce. Farm-fish pond owners are getting their ponds stocked for coming continuing fishing this year. Several weeks ago Rudy Bergstrom and Leonard Rill each had 500 six-inch trout planted in new ponds at their ranches. Last Thursday 8500 two inch trout were delivered to ponds at the Bob Kilkenny, Fritz Cuts forth, Jerry Dougherty, Kenneth Turner, Don Greenup and W. V. Weatlierford ranches. Other pond owners plan to stock them soon. Orders are now being pooled to Ket another lond together for early delivery. Recently a child writing an essay oii conservation started her essay with, "Conservation is what we eat and what we wear and where we live and if you don't, we won't." Under the 1962 wheat program many more Morrow county wheatgrowers will come under marketing quotas. Instead of the 15 acre exemption, as in the past, the marketing quota exemption is based on the smaller of two figures. It Is the smaller of either 13.5 acres or the highest wheat acreage harvested in any of the crop years 1959-61. Penalties on excess 1962 crop wheat will be at 65 of parity as of May 1 instead of the former 45 figure. The amount of wheat subject to penalties will be based on twice the farms' normal yield on all excess acreage. Price supports will be available only to those wheat farmers who participate in the 19C2 wheat stabilization program. Acreage diversion pay ments are also available to those growers who take part. Finally if the acreage remains in ex cess of the allotment, the wheat must either be stored, . or de livered to the secretary of agri culture, to avoid reduction in the farms future wheat allotments.

Thursday, May 3, 1962 Fairbanks Leads Booth Workshop For County Fair Twenty-five people, represent ing 15 organizations, learned the basic techniques of setting up a good booth or display when they attended the booth workshop on April 24 conducted by Dwight Fairbanks, OSU visual aid spec ialist, at Heppner. "The county fair is as much a part of our American tradition as barn dancing and baseball. It has been a rural event, pri marily, but the number of farm ers has decreased through the years, and communities have turned to other trades. So the modern fair tends to be an in dustrial as well as an agricult ural exposition," explained the specialist. "We who present community booths are responsible for help ing our fair keep pace with changine times." As a teaching device Fair banks had the group judge pic tures of booths he had taken at the Polk County Fair. Then he discussed the good and bad points of display. The standard core card lists choice ot mes sage, visualization or message, quality of products, and orig inality. Five steps were given in plan ning a booth or display. Step 1 Whom are we talking to? (homemaker, farmers, pro spective members?) Slop 2 What do we want to tell them? (best to stick to one single subpect.) Step 3 Put your message Into words (use catchy slogan). Step 4 Visualize the idea (here's where your imagination goes to work). Step 5 Sketch a plan before you start to build. Attending were: Leta Humph reys, Mr. and Mrs. David Bauer, Mrs. Terry Blevins, Mrs. Kacnaei Harnett, Ralph Richards, Mrs. Gordon Hutchins, Mrs. L. h.
