'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. There are plans to
have the girls judge each other
at the State Fair level.
Committees on Local Style Revue
Mrs. William Rawlins, Mrs. L.
A. McCabe of lone, and Mrs.
Andy Van Schoiack, Heppner,
are working on the staging of
the local revue. All are clothing
leaders in the county. Other

Extension Unit
Training Program
Starts August 30
A "kick-off" for the 1962-63
extension unit program in Home
Economics is scheduled lor
Thursday, August 30, with an
officer training day Beginning
at 10:30 a. m. at the Pine City
school, according to Esther Kir-
mis, Morrow county extension
agent.
"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.
Officers and time of meeting
of each of the six units in the
countv are:
Rhea Creek, first Wednesday
of the month. Officers include
Mrs. Walter Wright, Heppner,
chairman; Mrs. William Berg
strom, lone, vice-chairman; Mrs.

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.
