4 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, August 23, 1962 Chats With Your Home Agent 'Watch the Girls 60 By' Style Revue Theme Friday By ESTHER KIRMIS "Watching All The Girls Go By" is the apt theme of the 1962 4-H Style Revue to be held on Friday evening, August 24, the closing day of the Morrow County Fair in Heppner. Staged in the outdoor arena over 50 girls will model the 4-H garment or costume they have constructed during this year. Llbby Van Schoiack, nine-year club member, has written the script and will supervise the nar ration before proud parents, grandparents, and friends. A decided change has been made in the 4-H clothing pro gram this past year. Clothing has been divided into seven phases with each girl working on a "warm-up" article first and then going on to the main ar ticle which will be exhibited. Some lessons in grooming, buy ing, care and repair have also been added to give the girls a well-rounded schooling in cloth ing for their age level. The main articles to be exhib ited for each phase include: phase 1, Barbecue placemat or traveling kit; phase 2, An apron or a gathered skirt; phase 3, School dress or skirt and blouse; phase 4, also a school dress or skirt and blouse; phase 5, Skirt and weskit, jumper, or dress; phase 6, Tailored dress or date dress, and phase 7, Costume or dress showing advanced sewing. Each phase will be judged in its own unit. For example in phase 6 the tailored dress and the date dress will be judged against each other, not separat ely as in previous years. Model ing for judging was done on Wednesday morning of the fair before judges Mrs. Russell Mc Kennon, Pendleton, and Mrs. Ed Bohnam, The Dalles. The Revue on Friday evening is for the public's enjoyment and a way to acquaint them with the 4-H clothing project offered to all girls between ages 9 and 21. A champion will be named in each phase in the county be ginning with phase 2. Eligibles to model for State Fair in Salem, August 31 September 8, will be chosen differently, by the judges. w State Fair Style Revue There will be two style revues at the State Fair this year, divided on the basis of age. Twelve through 14 will be the junior revue, and 15 and over will be the senior. (All ages are reckoned from January 1 of this vpnrl Mnrmw rniintv. because of its less than 500 4-H enroll ment, is allowed one entry in each revue.

"The Home economics pro gram is built around educational clubs, called Extension Units," explains Miss Kirmis. "They are like a class at Oregon state uni vcrsitv in the community. The county agent is the teacher; unit project leaders are ner assis tants." A woman's world is bound up in familv living from the time she is pre-schooler, through ad olescence, teen-ager, young married, child bearer, child rear er and luncher, "empty nester,' and widow. Helping the women to meet the challenges and prob lems of familv living in all these stages of the family cycle is tne aim of the home economics env ision of extension work, she further explains. Extension units give a wo man in the county an oppor tunity to continue her education and to apply it in their own homes. Experience in leadersnip is also one of its goals. Program for the year includes such lesson as poultry cookery, short cuts to hot meals, care of rugs and upholstery, buying ready-to-wear, lacing widow hood, developing responsibility in children, care of the sewing machine, and furniture restor ation. Other activities planned include a man and wife short course on "Money Management" in January and a family camp ing evening in April. A work shop in tailoring is planned tentatively.

Advertise In the Gazette- Times. By N. C. ANDERSON Wheaterowers will vote Thurs day, August 30, on marketing quotas for the 1963 crop of wheat. The referendum is being held at this late date because Sec retary of Agriculture freeman had postponed it noping mar legislation would come out of Congress which might affect the outcome of the vote. Because of the status of farm legislation the secretary announced that the referendum would be new ior producers to determine if they want marketing quotas based on a 55 million acre allotment with price supports at not less than $1.82 per bushel. This is the old program under which we op erated for eight years. This pro gram would be in effect if farm ers approved marketing quotas by at least a two-thirds vote in the referendum. If farmers disapprove marketing quotas, support for the 1963 wheat crop vould be based on the national average of not less than $2.21 per bushel for those wno stayed within their acreage allotments, with no support for non-cooper ators. In the event quotas were rejected, the entire stocks of CCC wheat, amounting to about 1.1 billion bushels would be available for sale at $1.27 per bushel. All eligible voters are urged to cast ballots in the Aueust 30 wheat quota reieren dum. Those eligible to vote are all growers who will have more than 15 acres of wheat tor nar vest as grain in 1963. Gaines Continues To Show Improved Yield We have commented In this column for the past several weeks on the growth, harvest, yields and purity tests on fields of Gaines wheat scattered throughout Morrow county. We have done this because we be lieve that all wheat farmers should be interested in this new variety released last fall. It is back in the news again this week. Gaines at the Alvin Bunch and Kenneth Turner ranches have been harvested since the rain with a 37 to 38 bushel yield at both places. At the Al Bunch ranch this was a considerably better yield than the fields of other varieties grown in that community. A poorer stand and competition from cheatg r a s s kept the yield lower than other varieties at the Kenneth Turner ranch. We are anxious to have the yield from the Melvin Moyer anch as we are sure that it will be considerably above any of the Gaines yet harvested. This field and the last to be harvested at the Raymond French ranch should be completed by the end of this week. A flurry of interest was gen erated in the Willamette Valley again last week which resulted in several calls to this office for sources of Gaines seed. A copy of a letter we received from Marion County Agent, Hollis Ottoway, announced that two growers had reported yields ot 124 and 132 bushels per acre. we found a big percentage of the wheat coming up. That which had not yet come through the ground had a good long healthy sprout with good roots, We found only a few scattered seed not vet germinated, now ever, it was swelled and ready to send out roots. Reports from others who have seeded the new variety Is that it is coming up well. This pretty well answers the question as to how long we need to wait between harvest and seeding time with this new variety. Poultry Feathers Find Commercial Use Once a costly disposal prob lem for poultry plants, feathers are now the basis of a growing $12 million a year meal indus try. This new industry, which turns feathers into a high-protein stable, friable meal useful in feeds, stems from studies begun 12 years ago by Western utili zation division scientists in Al bany, Calif. Futher research by ARS and btate agricultural ex periment station scientists aided the development. At present, feather meal is made chiefly from broiler feath ers, but use of turkey feathers is increasing. Rendering plants process most of the feathers, as offal from poultry plants. The annual broiler crop of about 5.5 billion pounds pro vides feathers for about 150,000 tons of meal. About 80 of the feathers, approximately 120,000 tons, is being processed into meal. Present market value of feather meal is $100 a ton. This value is Increasing, so feather disposal is no longer an exnense to poultry plants. Some Tenderers pay up to one-tenth of the value of the meal for raw feathers. Won By Harryman More honors were awarded Gene Harryman, lone High school principal, and his quarter horse stallion this past week end, after competing in the lower Snake River Valley quart erhorse show in Emmett, Idaho. Riding Mainline Junior, who placed well in the Treasure Val ley quarterhorse show at Cald well, Idaho, earlier this summer, Harryman won first in pole bending and second in the rein ing events at Emmett. Riders will undoubtedly see action by him in some of the horse show and rodeo events next week. His son, Lewis accompanied him on the trip to Emmett. Minimum Dormancy Needed For Gaines Germination There has been considerable interest and inquiry on the length of dormancy that Gaines must need to go through from harvest until seeding time. Little actual data from experience is available on this variety, how ever, we believe that recent seed- ings would tend to answer the question for everyone. Several ranchers have seeded Gaines, much of which is up. Among them are Oscar Peterson and sons, Newt O'Harra, Clell Rea, and Pat Cutsforth. To be able to answer the many questions coming in relative to lengths of time this new variety should be stored between harvest and seeding we checked a field of Gaines on August 17 which had been seeded on August 11 and 13. This Gaines had been harv ested on August 2. In checking CONTROL MORNING GLORY NOW Best Grazing Rate Shows 12 Acres Per Cow Per Year Long-time grazing trials con ducted on the Southern Great Plains experimental range near Woodward, Okla., have shown that on heavily-grazed ranges calf weights decrease even though cow weights do not change enough to reflect grazing pressure. In this study, the heaviest grazing rate was 12 acres for a cow year-long (12 months). Mod erate grazing was 17 acres per cow and light grazing 22 acres per cow. Low weights and con dition varied only slig h 1 1 y throughout the study regardless or the stocking rate. There were, however, some very distinct diff erences In production. Calf weaning weights from cows grazing 12 acres were 404 pounds, from cows grazing 17 acres vsi pounds, and from cows grazing 22 acres 512 pounds. In addition, calf crop percentages were higher for the cows allowed more than 12 acres. Cows allowed 12 acres had a calving percentage of 81 compared to 92 percent for the 17 acre grazing rate, and 89 percent for the 22-acre grazing rate. In addition, grasses and pastures grazed at the heaviest rate were severely weakened by the grazing. The researchers doing this work believe that if the stock get all their roughage from native ranges, that calf weaning weights mav well be an index to proper stocking. It was pointed out that regular feeding of hay or creep feedine of caives would prevent calf weights from indicating range condition.
