Recommendations Drafted At Wheatgrowers Meeting Forty-five farmers and ranch ers attended the Morrow County Wheat Growers Association spon sored 2,4-D meeting last Wed nesday afternoon when proposed 2,4-D restrictions were discussed. The meeting was held to draft recommendations for use by a committee of wheat growers and Milton Freewater horticultural growers who are meeting De cember 27 to draft proposals from which legislation might come regarding restrictions on this weed killer. These recom mendations will be acted upon by the Executive committee of the Oregon Wheat Growers League with proposals submit ted to the ftate legislature for their action this session. Recommendations made by the Morrow countv committee were: 1 that ispiopyl 2.4 D be re stricted throughout the entire state: 2 .:.: no definite dam age can be shown through re search earned on by OHU dur ing lC2 lrom the use of butyl 2.1 D that there be no restric tions on its- use by Monow coun ty users; 'S) that lesearch be continued by OSU to determine what definite damage is being done and by what types of 2,4-D (4) restrict the use of diesel oil as a carrier of 2,4-D; 15) that no spraying of 2,4 D be done when wind velocities exceed 10 in.p.h. in the case of airplane application, 15 ni.p.h. in the case of ground application and 16) Hint all proposed legislation carry a limit of 2 years on re strictions on the use of 2,4 D.

AG7 0 OPEN AN ACCOUNT TODAY FIRST FEDERAL SAVINCS & LOAN BOX 739 7AHM NEWS be determined at that time what actual damage is being caused and legislation can be presented to alleviate damage situations. The recommendation that isop ropal 2,4-D be restricted came as a result of research by OSU that there were damages from this type of 2,4-D in the Milton Freewater area. Realizing that this high volatile type 2,4-D could cause damage the group feeling that they did not wish to cause damage to anyone, readily agreed to this restriction. A committee meeting in Pen dleton on December 10 had rec ommended restrictions on the use of butyl 2,4-D in Morrow county. The Morrow county group last Wednesday asked that there be no restrictions on the use of this type 2,4-D since there was no definite proof that damage had been done from its use. New Bulletin Available On Dwarf Fruit Trees A newly revised USDA bulle tin, "Dwarf Fruit Trees, Selec tion and Care" is available from this office. This is a good leaflet with much information that would be helpful to the home grower In determining the types of dwarf fruit trees to select their planting and care, and recom mended varieties. OSU Students Enrolled From Variety of Areas Where do Oregon State stu dents come from? A tabulation provided by the registrar's office shows that all of Oregon's 36 counties are represented In the Oregon State University student body. Taking the honors Is Mult nomah countv, including the City of Portland, with 1,432 stu dents. Second is Benton county with 1,102. Wheeler county is represented by only four stu dents, Morrow county has 23. Gilliam 17 and Umatilla 152. California heads for out-of- state totals with 1,313 an in crease of nearly 300 students over a year ago. Washington rates second with 309; Hawaii, third, 277; and Idaho, fourth, 106. Foreign students, totalling 316, come from 59 countries. Canada leads with 31, followed by Thai land with 29 and India with 27. Of the 10,037 students enrolled fall term of 1962 -63, Oregon ac counts for 7,176; other slates, 2,541; U.S. Territories, 4; and foreign countries 316. Protein Supplement Needed For Sprinq Lamb Crop With the growing conditions that have been prevelent in Mor row county this tall, it is poss ible that tiie ewes may he losing weight or condition during the latter stages of pregnancy. Grass is somewhat watery and il is rather difficult for them to ob tain enough dry matter. These ewes need a feed supplement of some excellent quality bay preferably a legume grass mix ture. If the legume hay is not easily available, it would be well to feed these ewes a pound of grain and approximately one-tenth of a pound of protein supplement per head daily. This should re sult In a good healthy lamb that is up and sucking soon after he is born and a lot of good milk from the ewe. OSU Research Expands Study in Varied Fields From the morning's mail it is interesting to review some an nounced research that OSU is The wav to do this is. of course, to start SAVING (or next winter's va cation NOW. Follow a schedule of every-payday deposits that will add up to what it takes to speed you southward, when the times comes. ASSOCIATION PENDLETON Surplus Foods Get Good Response During December Distribution of surplus com modities to low income families in Morrow county Is off to a good start, according to Mrs. Betty McDonald, store manager. During December foods were issued to 150 persons. The store located in the Case Building in Heppner is open the first three Thursday afternoons of each month. Commodities, available at no cost to those eligible, include canned meat, cheese, flour, butter, rice, lard, peanut butter rolled wheat, dry beans, corn meal and dried milk. Those eligible can register and pick up their foods the same afternoon. Eligibility Is based on income for the previous 30 days arid number In the household as follows: not exceeding $102.00 1 person, $147.002 persons, $186.00 3 persons, $223.00 4 persons, $269.005 and 6 per sons, $360.007, 8 and 9 persons, $383.00 10 or more persons. carrying out as a part of Its function of research, residence teaching and extension, Those of us associated with agriculture think of OSU's research hinged to new crop varieties, livestock improvement, marketing and re lated subjects. It Is interesting to note the wide variety of re search, three projects which I noted in news releases dated December 17. One to be carried out with a money grant from the National Science Foundation is aimed at finding additional information on the effects of gravity on be havior of batteries in space craft. Dr. Robert Meredith will use a high-speed centrifuge to simulate the tremendous gravity forces that battery-carrying mis siles or space .craft encounter. How batteries are affected in upper altitudes where gravity effects are reduced are to be studied in OSU engineering lab oratories. An OSU geologist is making the first detailed study of Ore gon's Wallowa Mountains and his field work is producing some fascinating findings on rock, minerals and mountain history. This work will be used as a key for interpreting the con tinental evolution of western North America. The Wallowa Mountains are vastly different from the Cascades, the Cascades being of volcanic origin less than 60 million years in age while the Wallowas are an up-lifted block of the earth's crust rang ing from age between one, hun dred million and two hundred forty millions years. Another piece of research has to do with new "heat and eat" fish products that can be stored at room temperatures. OSU sci entists develop a "heat and eat" fish cake last year at the re quest of the U, S. Army which was seeking a seafood product that could be stored without re frigeration for as long as six months. These are only a few of the vast amount of research that is necessary to keep abreast of changing times. Greetings to One and All!

Chats With Your Home Agent Bulletin Gives Variety Recipes For Surplus Meats By ESTHER KIRMIS When it comes to planning a meal, we usually start with meat and go on from there with the rest of the menu. Canned chop ped meats, which are also avail able through the Abundant Food Program, gives us another way to have variety in daily meals. They're good alone as a main meat course or combined with other foods in casseroles. When we eat different foods to gether at a meal, our bodies tend to make better use of the nutrients each food provides. So, casseroles are good to eat, and they are good for us. "Using Canned Chopped Meat," a leaflet prepared by Vir ginia Weiser, extension nutrit ion specialist of OSU, is now available to all recipients of sur plus food through Mrs. Lewis McDonald, surplus foods store keeper at , the welfare office in Heppner. The bulletin includes recipes of "Cheese Meat Loaf," "Hong Kong Meal-in-a d i s h," and "Seven Layer Casserole." The recipe of Seven Layer Casserole" is especially good. In order, line bottom of large casserole dish with: 1 cup cubed raw potatoes 1 cup raw carrots, sliced thin Vi cup raw rice 1 raw onion, sliced 1 can drained peas 2 cups diced canned chopped meat Over the top of these six lay ers, pour 2 cups canned toma toes, (tomatoes are the seventh layer). Add pepper for season ing. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 1 hour and 25 minutes. With this "Meal-in- a-dish" serve a crisp salad and hot buttered biscuits. You may try cheese biscuits. Have milk to drink. Don't for get a glass of water, too, for each person at the meal. (You will note that salt has been omitted from the recipe above. This has been done be cause heating some canned chopped meat brings out a salty flavor). Other ideas with canned chop ped meat to fix in minutes: Broiled: Brush canned chop ped meat with fat. Broil lightly, JEWELER baker or candle stick maker, the TURNER, VAN MARTER AND BRYANT INSURANCE AGENCY, Heppner, can han dle the necessary insurance.

Salad: Mix diced canned chopped meat with chopped pickles, celery, and carrots. Add salad dressing. Topping: Brush thin slices of canned chopped meat with mo lasses. Layer on top of beans the last half hour of baking. Each 30.5 oz. can of chopped meat contains about 5 cups diced meat. Why not check with Mrs. McDonald (Telephone 676-9211) to see if you might be eligible for some of this abundant food. Stitchettes Begin 4-H Club Sewing Projects A meeting of the Golden Stitchetts 4-H club was called to order by Vice President Kay Dag gett Friday, December 21. We had a test on parts of the sewing machine, and then decided on our club program for the rest of the year. We will start our warm-up ar ticles at our next meeting, Janu ary 4. We had our meeting at the home of Eva Griffith. Linda Heath, reporter Mr. and Mrs. Riley Munbers and family had Christmas din ner with her brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Sharrard, Arlington. Other members of the Sharrard family will also be pre sent. Rev. and Mrs. Ken Robinson and family left Christmas Da" to visit her parents in Seattle, Wn. Cattle Rustler Steals 213 Head, Gets Prison Term One of the largest cattle rustl ing cases in the 31-year annals of the state department of agri culture livestock theft investiga tions was closed December 20 when Melville Derrick Kelley, Prairie City, entered the state penitentiary. The day before, he pleaded guilty to two counts of livestock larceny and was sentenced by Circuit Judge Edward H. Howell, Canyon City, to two 8-year con current terms in prison. Kelley, 39, admitted stealing 213 head of cattle from thre neighboring ranches since Aug ust 1, 1961. Strangely enough, none of the owners had reported the animals missing, as far as department records show. The first tip-off on the i waling came in mid-November when an SDA brand inspector work'ng t a slaughter plant grew suspi cious of an unusually wide block "A" brand on an animal. A dia gonal mark at the rignt didn't seem to belong to the brand. Close clipping of the animal, much as. a barber "shaves" a head, revealed another brand under the block "A". From that time on SDA Live stock Officers Claude Shaw, On tario, and Guy Woodforth, Bea verton, Sheriffs Robert Ingram of Malheur county and Ra Bris bois of Grant county worked al most day and night until the in vestigation was completed. Aid ing them were several depart ment brand inspectors (Frank Baltzor, Jordan Valley; Darrell Hodges, Burns; George Gibbs, John Day), and Claude Solters, Idaho livestock officer. Animals were stolen from the Garland Meador, Tom Velvin and MORROW COUNTY GRAIN GROWERS, Inc. Serving All Of Morrow County Ox Bow ranches. Kelley did an excellent job of covering the Ox Bow brand and the plain "M" brand on Velvin's cattle. But when he reached out to the Mea dor "M" brand with the slash diagonally out from the upper right side of the letter he trap ped himself. Livestock officers and brand inspectors will follow all leads in an effort to return every avail able animal stolen to the right ful owners, says Roy Nelson, de partment livestock division chief. State Police arrested Kelley as he was returning home from Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Runnion, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. LaVerne Van Marter and family and Mrs. Nora Turner, will be houseguests of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Runnion and family in Pendleton until Wed nesday. Carol Anne Anderson, Seattle, is here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nels Anderson.
