Foreign Wheat Markets Find Problem in India Morrow County ranchers, like other Pacific Northwest wheal men, have watched with interest the advance of white wheat prices during the past few weeks. Those who have kept us with programs advanced by the Oregon Wheat Growers League, the National Associati on of wheatgrowers, Western Wheal Associates and those others con nected with marketing wheat, realize that these price advances are a result of an excellent job in developing foreign wheat mark ets. The Oregon Wheat Growers League is recognized world-wide as having taken the leadership in developing markets and with the handy and valuable tool Public Law 480 have really mov ed a lot of wheat into foreign cnannej.s that has replaced much of the old stable, food, rice. I am sure that no more need he said about the importance of these foreign markets. However personnel hired to continuously look for new markets and keep potential wheat consumers aware of the importance of wheat in their diet sometimes overlooked. We know that they are paid representatives of the various organizations but they still sacrifice much by living and working under trying circum stances and not the best of liv ing conditions in order to carry on this important work. Right in line with this, it was interesting to read the monthly report from the Delhi, India, of fice made by Director Joe Spiruta. I quote parts of his Nov ember report which I am sure everyone can appreciate and agree that they would not like to be in some of these positions in the present time of great world unrest. "A steady stream of worldly events encompassed Wheat Asso ciates representatives in this part of the world during the past month. Some of the things hap pening seem almost unreal with much of it tending to dislevel all that is sane and normal.

"India's war with China is al ready having noticeable direct and indirect affects on Wheat Associates activities. Cancella tion of the All-India Agricultural Exhibition at Bombay by Fair authorities is one example. W. W. A. had made tentative plans to participate in that show scheduled for this winter. Fairs and exhibitions may well be out for all of India until the nation al emergency ends. Delhi's as sistant director, Dale Douglas visited Bombay customs. Sense- ess bureaucratic regulations brought clearance and the ship ment may be tied u pfor an in definite time. With winter set ting in and all winter clothes tied up in Bombay customs, the Douglas family is quickly ex periencing the perpetual frustra tions of dealing with India offi cialdom." At this holiday season I think that all of us can be thankful for what we have and the high living standards that we enjoy in this country compared to India and many other countries. Portland Campfire Girls Look For Farm Recreation We hear much these days about the development of recrea tion facilities and the demand from city families in getting out on the land as a means of relax ing and forgetting the hustle and bustle of city life. Many of us in this strictly rural area have discounted the possibilities ot the demand for such facilities here. Many facilities are being provided daily however in east- meet; (he beautiful brute.., fl if .I . f v- jr f v , xx i ( 11. i x ; v, sn v Meet the 'Jeop' Gladiator, the first 4-wheol drive truck to offer passenger car smooth ness on the highway, sure-footed 'J eop' traction off the road.

There are opportunities in Mor row county and other eastern Oregon areas, I am sure. An ex ample of this is a letter received only recently from the eighth grade Alameda Campfire Girls at Portland, Oregon. This group of 22 eighth grade members are looking for a place Where they might spend three to five nights and days at a working or guest ranch. They would like a place with moderate rates in as much as they will be earning their own money for the trip in the time between now and the hust two weeks of June when they would like these accomodation. They would like a place which would include opportunities for riding, hiking, swimming and fishing. Do we have any such facilities in Morrow co u n t y where these girls might spend an enjoyable week? I have been thinking of the possibility of 4-H Summer Camp facilities on Her ron Creek and the possibility that some enterprising person might like to provide some horses that these girls could ride during that period of time. Does anyone have any ideas, if so let's hear of them. I am sure that other opportunities will arise as time goes on. Northwest Feed Price Above Mid-West Level The following data illustrate why more hogs and cattle are not being fed here in the North west. Based on October averages, hogs were worth about $4 per head more at Portland than at Kansas City, but the money re ceived per head purchased only 1,780 pounds of barley, f. o. b. ranch. At the same time, the Nebraska hog sold in Kansas City made enough money to buy 1,805 lbs. of corn or 2,176 pounds of milo. The difference on steers was even greater, partly because ot the lower farm price on corn and milo, compared with North west barley. For example, the money received for 1,000 pound choice steer in Kansas City in October bought 15,524 pounds of Nebraska corn or 18,714 pounds of Kansas milo. A comparable steer sold at Portland returned the owner enough to buy only 13,0(i2 pounds of barley. Local Exhibitors To Offer Registered Hereford's at Sale When the Oregon Polled IU r ford Association's third annual special fall sale opens at t!v Pacific International Sales pavi lion in Portland this Saturday, December 15, two Morow county Polled Hereford exhibitors will be there.

Bull, who is a register of merit bull, will be among the breeding animals offered at the sale. This sale will be an excellent opportunity to secure good Poll ed Hereford replacement heifers, according to N. C. Anderson, county agent.

Chats With Your Home Agent Timely Christmas Tips Homemakers Given For By ESTHER KIRMIS So many Christmas ideas come across the county agent's desk these days, but I believe Mrs. Dorothy Sherrill Miller, OSU family finance specialist, has come up with one that has real merit. Use your Christmas money tnat you receive as gitts (it you get some) to open an account labeled "Money I never expect ed." Just by coincidence, the first letters of these words spell M-I-N-E! You'll be surprised how fast this savings account will grow in a year, if you make it a point to deposit all the "money I never expected." It's a lot more fun to save for something special you've been hankering for rather than just for a rainy day. Keeping the end result in mind will give you a nudge in the direction of the bank, just in case you're tempted to go on a spending spree. For the Christmas stockings, here are some helpful ideas: A small inexpensive gift well chosen not only can have that personal touch but also mean safety and help the user in car ing for her present equipment. For instance For liie woman wiio owns a mixer buy a rubber spatula with a colored handle to go with her kitchen decor. For the homemaker who owns a blender get the 1-inch size rubber spatula with long handle designed for scraping out a blender. For the family who has a freezer give them a frost scrap er to aid in keeping freezer de frosted. For the lady who has a steam iron select a demineralizing de vice for removing hard water minerals from tap water so that she will not need to buy distilled water. For the cook who uses a pres sure sauce pan give a minute timer to remind when cooking is finished. For the family who has many "wash and wear" garments (tiiis means almost everybody) get plastic coated hangers designed especially for use with drip-dry garments and avoid stains while drying. For the family with outdoor barbecue equipment choose as bestos mits, long handled tools and save burned fingers. How to remove coffee stains and cranberry juice stains are high on the request list of ques tions that come to me during the holiday season. If holiday guests spill coffee on your rug try this: as soon as possible blot up liquid with a clean white unstrached cloth or paper towel. Next sponge with detergent-vinegar-water s o 1 u tion. Use 1 teaspoon light duty detergent such as you use for fine fabrics, mixed with 1 quart of warm water and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Dry the wet area by blotting and leave a weighted cloth pad of paper towel on it to absorb moisture. Don't leave it to air dry. If coffee included cream, sponge with dry cleaning fluid also. Open the door for plenty of fresh air while you work. Cranberry juice on the table cloth should be treated immedia tely. Pour boiling water through the spot from a height of 1 to 3 feet. Launder as usual and bleach if necessary. Christmas Bulletins Available at the office are: 1. Decorate Tin -Can Craft No. 633 2. Christmas Decorations for Your Home No. 620 3.

But-cheatgrass (downy bromegrass), rye and other winter weeds often defeat the program because they compete with the growing grain and reduce the yields. Chemical winter fallow on the stubble - followed by spring and summer tillage results in maximum control of cheatgrass, rye grass, volunteer grains and annual broadleaf weeds sci as tar weed, mus tard, fanweed. Spray with Amino Triazole Weedkiller, or Cytrol Amitrol-T, plus 2, 4-D. Treat from October 1 to April 30 after most weeds are up and before they are 5 to 6 inches tall.
