HEPPNER, OREGON Chats From Your Home Agent Wheat and Flour Get Economists Attention By ESTHER KIRMIS Morrow county fair on August 19-23 in Heppner surely heads the topics of conversation these days. Mrs. Douglas (Grace) Drake, co-chairman of the Wheat Utili zation committee for the coun ty, called me the other day to talk over some ideas she had for a booth at the fair. In some way she'd like to Illustrate the types of wheat grown in the county and how they are used In various eatable products at the family table. The idea sounds good. I told her about the new bull etin, "Bulgar" put out by the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension (Oregon, Washington and Idaho.) In it is stressed the versatility of this wheat product in breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts. It goes on to explain that Bul gar is either soft or hard wheat that has been soaked in water. Then it is cooked in steam or water under pressure, or at nor mal air pressure. After this treat ment, it is dried, and the bran is partially removed. The kernels are either left whole or cut to suitable size (fine, medium, or coarse). It's not a flour. On food market shelves, bulgar appears in pack ages under various trade names such as Ala, Sunnyland Bulghor, and Sun-Dry Bulghor. We have these bulletins on hand at the county agent's office, if you'd like one. Speaking of wheat and flour, Mrs. M. E. Hadwick, Irrigon, showed me a type of frozen bread dough that was quite in teresting. It's advertised as "Bake and Serve We make it Mom bakes it Guaranteed Hus band Approved." The seven steps under the baking instructions on the bag she showed me are: Use 1 pound loaf pan Grease pan thoroughly Place bread dough in pan with round side up and grease top with any good vegetable short ening. Proof (rise) at room temperature until one inch above pan Preheat oven 375 degrees. Bake bread in oven for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven. Take out of pan and immediately place on wire rack. National Week Observes Need For Farm Safety Today's farmer may use as many as 35 different types of machinery during the year. "The increasing variety and complexity of machinery helps get the Job done faster and eas ier than ever before, but not necessarily more safely," states Marvin J. Nicol, the National Safety Council's director of farm safety. Nicol's comment came on the eve of the 19th annual National Farm Safety Week, being ob served throughout the nation this week, July 22-28. According to a study in In diana, one out of six non-fatal farm accidents involves ma chinery other than tractors. Tractors account for about 45,000 non-fatal injuries each year, and fatalities are on the increase. "Despite variance in machines, common sense and basic rules of safe handling apply to all. If followed consistently, the needless waste of human re sources can be drastically re duced," Mr. Nicol advises. The Farm Safety Council lists three reminders: wear simple close fitting work clothes; al ways turn off machinery before adjusting, unclogging or servic ing; always keep shields and guards in place when operating; refuel machinery only when the motor is off and has cooled, and take a short break every few hours to forestall fatigue. The Heppner FFA Chapter is Including a study on Farm Safe ty in its program this year, re alizing the need for young farm ers and helpers to become more safety consciousness. Safety edu cation is growing each year in importance in rural living. We Will Deliver Your Processed Meat Lexington lone.

Beach said the opposition to a referral did not mean the Farm Bureau was satisfied with the tax plan, but it was their con clusion little would be accomp lished by a referral. "A special session would be extremely expensive and since the lawmakers had 141 days to draw up a tax bill, it is doubt ful they could do any better in a special session," Beach stated. He also said the board of directors expressed disappoint ment over the lack of attention given to property tax relief by the legislature. The mounting burdens of the property tax Is one of the most serious problems confronting agriculture in the state, according to the Farm Bureau president The board of directors also took action on the creation of a special committee to carefully examine the possibility of init iating a sales tax measure to offset property taxes.
