with the Atmospheric Science
Branch of OSU during the past
year. Research assistance in this

Morrow county ranchers have
kept as well as special records
on storms which occured during

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. Nov

withering Chinese attack which
overran large areas of Indian
territory, an uneasy cease-fire,

ferrying men and materials to

"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

tions of dealing with India offi

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-

em states and around highly in
dustrialized cities where popula
tions are such that there is hard
ly room for everyone to have
these recreational opportunities.
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.

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.

HOW TO
KILL CHEATGRASS
AND OTHER WINTER WEEDS
IN GRAIN STUBBLE
Chemical winter fallow with Amino Triazole Weedkiller,
or Cytrol Amitrol-T will make your trashy fallow
work easier and more effective next summer
Trashy fallow is a sound soil conservation
practice on grain stubble land.
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.
