Scheduled for June
By N. C. ANDERSON
The executive committee of
the - Morrow County Whe a t
Growers Association, meeting
last Friday evening, made plans
for their annual spring meeting
which will be held on June 11.
The group had agreed earlier
lo wait with this annual affair
until after the Wheat Referen
dum in order that they might
discuss' further the aspects of
the program and how it applied
to wheat growers if the referen
dum passed, and if not to dis
cuss alternatives. On the pro
gram will be brief progress re
ports of the various standing
committees, presentation of the
l'J63 Conservation Man of the
Year and a discussion on wheat
grades.
The group expressed its in
terest in initiating a public re
lations program with Portland
8th grade school children such
as has been carried out by Gil
liam county during the past
two years. Robert Jensen, as past
chairman of the public relations
committee for the Oregon Wheat
Growers League, encoura g e d
other counties to join with Gil
liam in this worthwhile pro-
gram, with approximately ai
The group toured retail food
stores in the Portland-Vancouver
area to observe selling methods.
I returned home with a much
better understanding of market

and who determines price for
not only live animals but meat
carcasses, offered to the retail
trade.

Agents Hear New Methods
In Livestock Marketing
Don Moellcr, of the Agricul
ture Research Division of Swilt
and Company, Chicago, told a
group of 35 Oregon county
agents last Monday evening in
his opening remarks, "If you go
home without knowing how the
livestock market works and
what establishes prices you have
wasted yuor time and mine."
This was a part of the orien
tation for the group preparing
paring them for three days of an
intensive livestock market study
program held in North Portland
on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday of last week.
The interesting program, last
ling ten to twelve hours per day,
iwas valuable in providing baek
1 ground of such things as scope
iof the meat Industry in the
j United States and the iocal area,
: livestock buying methods,

We had the opportunity to

land to follow them through to
the cool room to compare our
jgrades and carcass yields with
the finished product. In addit

Common Market is Extensive
The Common Market is the
biggest economic merger ever at
tempted. Picture six countries
(France, West Germany, Italy,
Belgium, the Netherlands, and
Luxembourg I each surrounded
by a fence. Now imagine that
these countries, with a combined
population of 175 million people,
take down the fences that sep
arate each from the oilier, but
put in their place, an outer
fence that separates the merged
area from all other countries.
That, in (fleet, is what the Com
mon Market is.
Students Observe
Forest Conservation
Last Friday, sirth grade teach
ers, Inez Irwin and Inez Meador,
with elementary school superin
tendent Millard Brown and Work
Unit Conservationist Ralph Rich
ards, accompanied me to Union
county to observe their annual
Forestry Conservation School
tour. Morrow county is consid
ering holding a tour in late; Sep
tember or early October, liHvl
for sixth graders of the Morrow
county schools. Gilliam, Wheeler
and Grant eountv have all in-
Idieated interest in participating
in (his tour. Those ot us at
tending the Union county tour
did so to observe procedure in
order to make our tour more
effect ive.
Within the next few days a
tour will be held of possible
sites in our forest to determine
the area that the tour will visit
to observe such things as game
habitats and management, for
est fire protection, range man
agement conservation, soils, tree
identification, thinning and
pruning for forest tree improve
ment and commercial logging.
Several state and federal agen
cies will be involved in this con
servation project as it is planned
and carried out. Most all coun
ties in Oregon are now holding
such a tour and we are one ot
the last of the group of conn
the large chain grocery stores, ties to set up such an activity.
