FABM NEWS County Agent's Office Public Hearing Scheduled For Area Wheat Changes By N. C. ANDERSON The USDA has scheduled a ser ies of public hearings through out the nation to consider changes in official U S. stand ards for wheat. In this area, hearings are scheduled for Oc tober 8 in Portland in the Fed eral Building, 1001 M. E. Lloyd Blvd. These hearings are scheduled after a two-year review with groups and organizations of wheat producers, proces s o r s, handlers, exporters, state depart ments of agriculture and other state agencies, and state and commercial inspection agencies. Proponents of the revised standards say they are needed to adjust to advancements in production and handling prac tices, and to improve the com petitive position of U. S. wheat in foreign markets. , Contracting on feeder cattle for delivery as late as November be came very active last week in Oregon. Around 10,000 mostly choice calves weighing 400 to 460 pounds sold in the range of $26 to $28 on steers and $24 to $26 on heifers. These prices are comparable to numerous sales reported in the west. In Morrow county contract prices I have heard of are com parable to these. Yields and quality of Brevor wheat grown in Morrow county this year is reported good. Even though several seeded Brevor in the fall of 1961, something happened to the seed and little was seeded this past fall. There was quite a demand for seed in the fall of 1961, because this var iety has been one of the good ones to resist striped leaf rust. With the small infection of rust in the 1962 crop, many went back to their favorite variety. While generally speaking, rust infection was not too bad this Seed Cleaning and Treating At Our Plant--Or In The Country-- HAROLD HEPPNER now.seewhy they call the 4 ?. New Tornado-OHC.

This comes mainly from those who seeded Omar quite early last fall. Many say they are going to quit Omar completely. While many are talk ing of substituting Golden for Omar, some should consider Brevor. Brevor is a white chaffed, soft white winter wheat, having a beardless common oblong shape head. The straw is white, short to medium in height, stiff and highly resistant to lodging. Brevor is resistant to shattering and is sometimes hard to thresh. It is a high yielding variety in areas of high rainfall and high soil fertility. I think that it could replace Omar in many of our better sites, main taining yield, and protecting ranchers from loss from striped rust, in case we have infections as in 1961 and 1963. While there are undoubtedly others growing Brevor, Delbert Emert, lone, is one source of seed. He has approximately 14,000 bushels stored from production this year, which he reports as a 40 bushel crop. The Oregon State Rural Areas Development Committee, at its May meeting, sent a res olution to Secretary Freeman asking him to "make every reasonable effort to assure equity of opportunity for the grain feeding industry of this region." The action came after the committee heard Jim Hill, man ager of Pendleton Grain Grow ers, describe the situation on be half of the Pacific Northwest Grain and Livestock Council. He told the committee that grain feeders in the Pacific Northwest are at a serious disadvantage because of higher prices here than in the Midwest. The ad ministration of government pro grams have increased the price spread between the two areas.

However, the development of the grain feeding industries "is being retarded by the inequitable grain price relationship between this and other grain feeding areas of the nation," they stated adding grain price levels and relationships are subject to mod eration and are largely manage able by the programs adminis tered by the USDA. The committee also pointed out that a substantial part of Ore gon's grain and forage "should be marketed in the form of live stock and poultry products to assist in supplying the growing population of the Pacific Coast." Oregon State University econ omists, studying beef cattle feed ing alone, recently estimated that beef cattle feeding could generate $250 million annually in local economic activity if the state's potential grain resources were- "marketed" through fin ished beef. Beef cattle feeding now generates about $53 million annually in local economic activity. World Without Pesticides Would Raise Food Costs Today, about one dollar out of every five you earn, if you have an average income, is all you need to feed your family. One of the reasons this is true is be cause of pesticides and their con tribution to our abundant sup ply of nutritious foods. But what if there were no pesticides? U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman said recently that without pesticides, the cost for food for an average income fam ily could easily reach one dollar out of every three earned. Picture what would happen without pesticides. The commer cial production of such vege tables as corn, tomatoes and lima beans would be drastically re duced. Winter supplies of fresh vegetables, grown in the farmer areas of our country, would not be commercially prof i table. Commercial apple product i o n would end. Peaches and cherries in our markets would almost disappear. Grapes, cranberries, raspberries, strawberries and cit rus fruit commercial production of these valuable fruits would also be impaired. And that's not all. Our total supplies of meat and milk would be much smaller. The produc tion of eggs, chicken and other poultry In the southern part of our nation would be unprofitable. Economic production of beef in the South would be virtually im possible. Spoilage, insect damage and quality deterioration would play havoc with our system of com mercial storage, processing and distribution of food and fiber products. Supplies would dimin ish and costs to the consumer would rise. Present standards of sanitation, quality and whole someness ... so importantto our well-being would be mean ingless. Micro-biological spoilage would be a serious problem in milk, poultry and other perish ables without chemical sanitiz ing agents. These are some of the poten tial consequences of a world without pesticides . . . conse quences our nation could ill af ford to suffer. CO. Chats With Your Home Agent New Varieties Of Beans In Oregon Gain Popularity By ESTHER KIRMIS Got a call the other day from Mrs. Fannie Griffith, lone, about green beans did I like them better canned or frozen. This is a sort of "six-of-one" and a "half-a-dozen-of the-other" type of a question. It really de pends on the variety of bean. Some freeze well and others do not. The OSU bulletin on "Freez ing: Fruits and Vegetables" rec ommends such varieties as Blue Lake strains, Ten dergreen, Refugee, Stringless Green Pod, and several other as being good for freezing. Other varieties are tastier, if canned. Zelma Neugart and Velma Seat, OSU food marketing spec ialists, wrote this about beans in their last weekly "Spotlight" letter. Growers report the largest acreage ever planted to snap beans in Oregon. Our state has long been the nation's leading producer of snap beans, and is famous for the Blue Lake variety which grows especially well in this climate. All over the United States people enjoy these beans either canned or frozen. Oregon's newest snap bean is the Romano or Italian green bean. This is the fourth year this interesting wide flat bean has been grown commercially in Oregon, and it is steadily gaining popularty. At the present time only Romano pole beans are be ing grown, but experimental work on Romano bush beans is being done at Oregon State Uni versity's vegetable research farm. Oregon is the main producer of Romano beans, most of which are processed. The Willamette Valley Is the main production area. In addition to the valley beans, there is considerable acre age in the Roseburg area planted in an effort to get earlier production from this warmer lo cation. Season: We enjoy Oregon's canned and frozen beans year around, but July, August, and September bring the biggest supply of fresh beans from near by growing ares. Local supply usually lasts until the first kill ing frost. Selection: Top quality snap beans are bright, clean, and fresh in appearance. Firm, crisp beans that break with a snap are the ones to buy. Seeds should be immature. Beware of beans that are dull in appearance or are wilted. Food Value: Snap beans con tribute color, variety, and texture tor meals. I hey are low in cal ories and provide some iron, thiamine, riboflavin, and vita mins A & C. Car and Preparation: As soon as beans are brought home from the market or picked from the garden, they should be stored tightly covered in the refriger ator. If washed before storing, remove excess moisture, as wet beans do not keep well. For best eating, use as soon as possible, Cook fresh snap beans 15 to 25 minutes in a small amount of b6iling, salted water. Snap beans combine well with chopped crisp bacon, slivered toasted almonds, cheese sauce, mushrooms, or diced ham. Chilled cooked snap beans are excellent in salads. Here's a recipe they recom mend using beans: SPANISH GREEN BEANS (Serves 4) 5 or 6 very thin slices bacon, cut in small pieces V cup chopped onion 2Vi cup cooked fresh beans, or 1 1-pound can green beans 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce Salt and Pepper to taste 13 cup buttered fine bread crumbs V-i cup chopped celery Fry bacon, onion and celery together until bacon is cooked and vegetables are nicely brown WHAT THIS WELL.DRESSED STUDENT WILL WEAR!

State Style Show Chooses 'Fashion Photos' Theme "Fashion Photos" will be the theme for the 4-H Club Style Revue at the 1963 Oregon State Fair when 4-H club members model their own creations in three performances for the pub lic. The style shows will continue the pattern set last year, re ports Miss Ruth Brasher, Oregon Mate University state 4-H agent. Intermediate and senior girls again will have their own shows. Each showing will be held in the auditorium of the 4-H FFA building on the Salem fair grounds. Intermediate girls, ages 12 through 14, will take the spot light Saturday, August 28, at 2:30 p.m. Senior girls, those 15 and older, will model for the public twice on Sunday, August 29, at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Margaret Black, Salem, will be the or ganist for all showings. Also as last year, participants In the style revue will judge themselves, Miss Brasher said. This change was made to strengthen the learning exper ience of participants in observ ing clothing construction and deepening their understanding of selection of a complete costume, she explained. Several blue ribbon winners are selected in each group by the girls themselves. The style revue champion, chosen from the senior blue ribbon group on the basis of her total 4-H club record, will receive a trip to National 4-H Club Congress In Chicago. More clothing exhibits than ever before are expected to be shown during the 1963 State Fair as enrollment in 4-H cloth ing projects continues to in crease, Miss Brasher said. State Fair traditionally concludes the 4-H club year during which mem bers learned new skills and tech niques to add economical, at tractive costumes to their ward robes. Examples of 4-H club work In six clothing divisions will be on display in the 4-H FFA build ing throughout the fair. These range from simple skirts and aprons to party dress, wool coats and suits created by 4-H mem bers ranging in age from 10 to 19. Two clothing classes for boys, beginning and advanced bach elor sewing, will also be shown. In the first, boys will display a chef's apron plus a duffle, laun dry or shoe bag which they have made. The advanced class feat ures other articles of clothing, such as shirts. Seven divisions of knitting, the fastest growing 4-H home ec onomics program in Oregon, will also be on display during the fair. Articles exhibited will range irom slippers and caps up through fancy ski sweaters. dresses and coats. Oregon 4-H club members also will have a chance to test their judging skills in both clothing and knitting judging contests. The clothing contest will start Labor Day morning and knitting judging will be held that after noon.

Thursday, August 22. 1963 Need is Sounded For Ag Peace Corps Volunteers India and Pakistan have asked the Peace Corps for 88 more volunteers trained in agricult ural skills, county agent Joe Hay has announced. Training will begin next Sep tember for 30 poultry specialists and 25 dairy husbandmen re quested by Indian and for 22 ag ricultural extension workers, 6 farm mechanics and 5 vocational agriculture teachers to work in Pakistan, Hay said. The Peace Corps already has 1G0 volunteers on the job in India and 205 in Pakistan. The call for additional workers reflects the need for trained agriculture personnel to help increase food and fiber production in these and many other developing nations, Hay pointed out. The Indian request for more poultry specialists grew out of a pilot program started by four Peace Corns volunteers who de veloped a new, cheap feed from easily accessible local materials, upgraded the stock, wrote a handbook on poultry manage ment in the Punjabi language and streamlined processing and marketing procedures. So suc cessful was their program that the Indian government now plans with Peace Corps help, to launch similar projects in other parts of the nation. In addition to the poultry pro jects, volunteers skilled in dairy husbandry will help Indian farmers improve their methods of breeding, feeding and man a"ing dairy stock and the pro cessing and marketing of dairy products. In Pakistan, Peace Corps vol unteers will work to improve methods of irrigation, machinery maintenance, marketing, plant protection and soil conservation at the village level. They will be working through experimen tal stations, workshops and agri cultural training schools. The agriculture and rural com munity action programs in Pak istan are being developed jointly by the Peace Corps, the Future Farmers of America in cooper ation with the Pakistan Depart ment of Agriculture and the Co operative Development Board. The overseas staffs of FFA and NFA will share wtih the Peace test, participants will judge four or more classes of clothing on construction and selection of ma terials, bindings, colors, tools and patterns and then write out their reasons for the placlngs of one or more classes. -Club members in the knitting judging contest will write down their reasons for placings In one or more of the four knitting classes they will judge. They will be asked to place exhibits on the basis of workmanship and selection of materials, tools and patterns.
