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

past growing season, some
ranchers feel they were hurt
quite badly. 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.

The committees pointed out in
its resolution that livestock and
poultry feeding industries are a
"vital and integral part of the
economy of the state of Oregon"
and that the state has histor
ically produced an abundance
of grain for food and feed.
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

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

"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

range from simple skirts and
aprons to party dress, wool coats
and suits created by 4-H mem

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.
