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.

Four Boys Picked
To Attend Oregon
Range Youth Camp
Picked last week to attend the
annual Oregon Range Youth
Camp were FFA, 4-H and city
youth Kenneth Wright and
Mark Murray, Heppner, Stephen
Lindstrom and Tim Tullis, lone.
These boys, sponsored by schol
arships provided by the Morrow
County Livestock Growers As
sociation, Heppn er-Morrow
County Chamber of Commerce,
Morrow County Farm Bureau,
and Heppner Soil Conservation
District, will attend the camp to
be held at the Lake Creek Guard
Station, August 5-10.
Morrow county's quota to the
range camp consisted of four
boys between the ages of 14 and
17 years. The camp is held an
nually to acquaint these boys,
who in future years, will be bus
iness and agricultural leaders,
in maintaining and using wisely
our vast natural resources of
range, forest, wildlife, and soils.
Although directed by the Pacific
Northwest section of the Amer
ican Society of Range Manage
ment, the camp draws upon the
Oregon State University Exten
sion service, rancher organiza
tions, Federal agencies and many
local civic groups and individ
uals in rounding out the camp
program.
The four organizations giving
1963 scholarships have provided
them for several years. Sponsor
ing them In 1962 were John
Wagenblast, Lexington; Dick
Struckmeier, and John Rawlins,
Heppner, and Roland Ekstrom,
lone, says N. C. Anderson, county
agent.
Emory Clapp, U. S. Forest Ser
vice, Heppner, is Morrow county
chairman for this year's camp.
Needlettes Planning
For 4-H Fair Entries
Karen Hams entertained the
Needlettes 4-H club July 8 at
her home. The members sewed
early in the afternoon and then
held a business meeting. The
club's goals were reviewed to
see how many had been accom
plished to date. Also, after some
discussion, the members decided
to have a booth at the fair.
So far in July, Shirley Hicks,
Cherolyn Smouse, Arleta Mc
Cabe and Ruth McCabe have
also entertained the club at work
meetings. A few of the members
are nearing completion of their
garments for the fair.

CO-OP
SERVING MORROW AND GILLIAM COUNTIES
Bureau Opposes
Tax Referral
Harold Beach, President of the
Oregon Farm Bureau, said the
OFBF board of directors has un
animously adopted a resolution
opposing referral of the income
tax measure passed by the 1963
Oregon Legislature.
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.
Accidents kill one farm res
ident every 47 minutes. Every 33
seconds a farm resident suffers
a disabling injury.
The wise farmer carries a fire
extinguisher and first aid kit on
tractors, trucks, and self-propelled
machinery.
