Morrow Wheat Growers
Named On Committees
By N. C. ANDERSON
Morrow county wheat growers
were in popular demand in Pen
dleton last week as committee
assignments were made by the
Oregon Wheat Growers League
Executive Committee meeting
for the first time in 1963. Of
the seven mainstanding com
mittees, Mrs. Milton Morgan,
lone, was chosen to head the
domestic wheat utilization; Ro
bert Jepsen, the marketing and
transportation; Walter Jacobs,
public relations; with Louis
Carlson named as vice-president
of federal agricultural programs.
In addition several of our grow
ers were named to special com
mittees that will be active dur
ing the year. Milton Morgan,
lone, is first vice-president of
the league eleoaed at the annual
meeting in Portland last Novem
ber. One of the leading discus
sions at the executive commit
tee meeting was that of making
a definite recommendation to
go to legislature relative to 2, 4-D
useage.
Morrow county recommenda
tions drafted at our December
20 meeting were considered.
Briefly, those adopted by the
Milton-Freewater-Oregon Wheat
League Growers at their De
cember 27 meeting and approv
ed by the executive committee
were: (1) that the use isopropyl
ester of 2, 4-D and its volatility
equivalents be restricted in the
state of Oregon for 2 years, (2)
that the use of butyl ester of
2, 4-D be restricted in the present
secondary restricted area of
East Umatilla county chemical
control district. (3) that no
spraying of 2, 4-D be done when
wind velocity exceeds 15 m.p.h.,
(4) that research by.OSU on the
2, 4-D drift damage problem be
continued, (5) that government
agencies using 2, 4-D be required
to pay the Oregon tax to the
research project, (6) that the
Washington State Department of
Agriculture be asked to restrict
the use of isropropyl ester of
2, 4-D in Benton, Columbia,
Franklin and Walla Walla coun
ties in the state of Washington,
(7) that OSU be asked to ex
tend its educational activities
relative to the proper use of pes
ticides including weedicides.
Dates for the 1963 annual
meeting were set as December
2, 3 and 4 with Portland to again
be the site of the annual meet
ing. Hit High Production Mark
Seven Yorkshire sows on the
Kenneth Smouse ranch near
lone evidently have not heard
USDA predictions that pig pro
duction will be down in 1963.
Recently seven sows farrowed
79 live pigs which is a fraction
over an average of 11 pigs
per sow. This is an excellent
farrowing percentage in any
one's "pig parlor."
Wheat Acreage Diversion
Explained By Freeman
Everyone has been reading
about the 1964 wheat program
and what the regulations might
be. While there have been a
lot of articles published in farm
papers, farm magazines, daily
newspapers and other publica
tions, some excerpts from an ad
dress given by Secretary lree
man at a meeting of national
farm organizations and cooper
atives might bo of some value
to those who have been con
cerned.
Farm acreage allotments In
1964 will be only 10 percent
smaller than in 1963. Most in
dividual farm allotments for the
1964 crop will be the same as
allotments for the VJb2 crop.
Each farmer will know his farm
allotment before the referendum
it mav be identical to the
allotment he had in 1962.
Diversion payments for the it)
oercent reduction in the allot
ment will be at thirty (30) per
cent of the support level times
the normal yield on the farm.
If a farmer s normal yieia is
bushels per acre and his county
support level is $2.00, then his
diversion payment on an acreage
equal to 10 percent of his 1963
allotment wlil be $15 per acre.
A voluntary acreage diversion
program, similar to the pro
crams for the 1962 and 1963
wheat crop, will permit any
farmer to reduce his plantings
up to 20 percent below his allot
ment. This voluntary program is
over by about 150 million
expected to reduce wheat carry
bushels in the 1964 marketing
year.
Pavment rates for the volun
tary program will be at fifty
(5D) percent or tne support levei
$25 per acre on a farm with a
normal yield of 2i busneis per
care and a national average
county support rate of $2.00 per
bushel.
Price support for wheat, in
cluding marketing certification,
will be $2.00 per bushel (nat
ional average). This level of sup
port will apply for about 925
million bushels, 86 percent of
the expected crop of 1,070 mil
lion bushels. Price support for
non certificate wheat will be an
nounced later, and will be about
$1.30 per bushel.
Advance payments will be
made at the time of signup, for
both the first 10 percent di

version, and for the voluntary
diversion.
We hope to be able to author
ize production of special crops,
such as safflower, sunflower and
castor beans, on the diverted
acreage. However, the 1964 grow
ing season Is a long way off.
Announcements on these crops
must be delayed for some time,
since the law provides they must
not be in surplus if they are
grown on diverted acreage.
Wheat production on feed
grain acreage will be author
izedif there is a free grain
program in effect for 1964. This
provision not only will allow
wheat to move more freely in
the market, but also will provide
more flexibility for the farmer
in the management of his farm.
It will be a major step towards
these two goals which all of us
share.
Marion D. Thomas, agricult
ural economist. OSIT. sava that
without approval in the referen
dum, the becretary sees 1964

Mel Smith Dies Suddenly
Livestock growers who have
had occasion to meet and know
Mel Smith, District Agent, U. S.
Fish and Wildlife, while attend
ing annual and committee meet
ings of our livestock association
will be saddened to hear of his
untimely death. Mel passed
away Saturday, January 12, af
ter working all day on their
small ranch out of Portland. He
had only recently had a com
plete checkup and pronounced
in very good physical condit
ion, Tax Material Available
Dr. Grant Blanch, a partici
pant in the tax panel held as
a part of the Livestock Assoc
iation annual meeting on Fri
day, January 11, has written
that the afternoon discussion
was enjoyable. He sent material
and the reproduction of the
charts that he presented as a
part of the panel. Someone asked
him for this material, the name
of whom he has no record. If
this person is among our read
ers we have the material for
them.
Angus Sale Set for Saturday
An opportunity that has not
been presented before in this
area is a sale sponsored by the
Oregon Angus Association to be
heid this Saturday, January 26,
at the Umatilla County fair
grounds at Ilermiston. The sale
starts at 12:30 p.m. Forty-three
Angus bulls and 18 females will
Ik; offered from leading breed
ers of Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. With many of our
cattlemen going into cross
breeding and with the shortage
of good Angus bulls this should
be an excellent opportunity to
buy bulls of excellent quality
to be used in this cross-breeding
program. Sale catalogs are avail
able at our office.
'Cowless' Milk on Market
Dr Frank Wokes, director of
the British Vegetation Center,
England, reports that man-made
milk, using peapods, cabbage
leave and weeds has been per
fected in their laboratory. They
are now able to remove the
"green" color from their arti
ficial milk and hope to open a
pilot plant this year with large
scale production to follow. The
"cowless" milk will be on the
market in dry form, as conden-

Applications Open Now
For Sheep Shearing School
For the past approximately 15
years OSU Extension Service has
been sponsoring two-day sheep
shearing shortcourses. These
shortcourses have been practical
in that quite a number of per
sons have been trained in the
principles of sheep shearing and
with some practice and exper
ience have been providing quite
a service to their community in
shearing sheep especially farm
flocks that we have so much
trouble in getting sheared. At
the same time they have been
performing this service they
have had an opportunity to
make some good wages.
Ronald Baker, former 4-H
club member, now a feedlot op
erator near Hermiston was the
first Morrow county boy to en
roll in one of the first sheep
shearing schools offered in Ore
gon. Over the years a number
of boys from Morrow county
have taken this training and
have been available for shear
ing sheep. While none of them
have taken ud sheep shearing
as a profession here, I heard just
the other day oi a ooy irom
Wheeler county who had taken
this training and who has been
doing some shearing there had
left for Australia to work with
a sheep shearing crew. We have
not had anyone attend tnese
schools recently, however there
may be someone interested now.
Recently announced are
schools for 1963. There will be
four held beginning March 11
at Corvallis, three of the schools
to be held simultaneously there;
the last to be held at Union on
March 25 and 26. We have en
rollment application forms at
this office for anyone who might
be interested.
