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,

ery and conservation practices on
Rock Creek.
Following the visit to the Rock
Creek school they visited the
Irby Ranch where they saw a
branding, vaccination and mark
ing demonstration. 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.

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.
