Livestock Growers Move Annual Meet to November At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Mor row County Livestock Growers Association plans were made for the annual meeting which will be held this year on November 1 and 2. These dates were set last January after bad weather at that annual meeting. It was decided by the froup that they were flirting with bad weather, by holding it in mid-January i and the purposes for setting it at that time of the year had .changed since the original plan, therefore, a fall meeting would be better. The meeting this year, will be held a week before the annual meeting of the Oregon Cattle men's Association which will fa cilitate getting in resolutions or other business actions to that organization immediately fol lowing the adjournment for im mediate attention. While omy a tentative program is set up a this time, the first day, always set aside for an educational event will feature an exhibit of new types of labor-saving hay ing eauipment. A number of manufacturers have indicated their interest in exhibiting at this time, and oth ers are being contacted. Such equipment has a field pelleter, new type high density baler with attachments to toss bales into a catch wagon and a self-propelled hay baler are a few that will be on exhibit. In addition, there will bo discussions on selective weed control in alfalfa and a clinic to stress protein values and the Importance of quality hay mak ing. The business meeting, sched uled for Saturday, November 2, will be followed by a jointly planned Farm-City Livestock banquet combining these two events in the hopes that a big group will participate. An out standing program has been ar ranged for with a top entertain er booked as the special feature of the banquet Recent Rain Showers Vary Widely Among County Farms Evervone Is hannv over the re cent showers which in many communities have exceeded an inch. Thursday night's shower, while seemingly general, varied consid e r a b 1 y. Visiting with ranchers on FrMnv vua fnnnrl a variance of .18 inches at the Kenneth Smouse ranch to .60 at the Harold Beach ranch. Several within these areas reported in the fortv hunrtrpritho Dvpp thu week-end precipitation exceeded ft men at many ranches that I visited. In checking wppklv nroba- bilities for rainfall at Heppner, u is interesting to note that the SeDtember 13 tn Spntpmhpr 19 weekly average for the past 30 vears has been .23 inrhps. Th proDammy that it should rain an inch during that week over the 30-year period is 3. The propabiiity that it should ram men during the week of Sep tember 13 increases to 17. how ever, and that we should get V men, 4U. Your Home Agent Leaders Needed Over the County To Sustain 4-H Nearly 40 new volunteer 4-H leaders will be needed in Mor row county for the 1963-64 club year announces Joe Hay, coun ty extension agent. The new 4-H year starts October 1. New leaders will be needed to take care of the normal yearly turnover of 4-H leaders and to increase the 4-H club program in the county, Hav continued. Each 4-H leader is a part of the volunteer non-paid teaching staff of Oregon State University. They have a big list of sub jects to choose from when they start their teaching career. The following is a list of some of the projects that are available: Electricity, woodworking, ento mology, field crops, horticulture, forestry, rifle safety, rockhound- ng, clothing for girls, food prep aration, food preservation, home improvement, knitting, child de velopment, marketing, fishing, photography, automotive, tractor, health, junior leadership, live stock and archery. "Morrow county has not had clubs in many of these areas in the past because some people believe that 4-H club work is only for country boys and girls," Hay said. Persons interested in working with boys and girls who are willing to donate their time and energies to leading a 4-H club in any of the projects listed in this story can obtain more de tailed information by calling the county agent's office, 676 9642, or Mrs. E. M. Baker, lone; Mrs. H. E. Had wick, Irrigon; or Kurt Gantenbein, Boardman. Jay Sumner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cal Sumner, writes that he is studying at UCLA for his Masters degree and working at the Rand Corporation which is a specialized strategic research organization. Mrs. Helen Cox returned Mon day afternoon from a two day .Northwest Florist convent i o n held at the Davenport hotel in Spokane. She also attended the design school there. 'Wondra' Flour Can Be Big Boon For Baking Uses By ESTHER KIRMIS When I was in Colorado this summer we took a tour to a large grocery store warehouse in Denver (that serves 5 states) and they were telling us of a completely new form of flour that would be soon on the mar ket that would surely make some changes in the kitchen. Flour of the Future! General Mills has launched what the company has termed "The flour of the future." The product is described as "Instant Ized flour, granular and com pletely new in form." The new flour, which is enriched, is free flowing, dust-free, and instantly dispersible in cold liquids (a boon to makers of lumDV eravv! ) Some of the advantages cited by General Mills are: more uni form cup weight which allows for more accurate measuring; it will not "pack down" so it can be measured by dipping or pour ing into the measuring cup, thus needing no sifting; it will save the user time and be easier to handle than conventional flours. Oregon rates high as a pro ducer of soft wheat. There are 11 flour mills in Oregon, with Portland and Pendleton the state's major centers. A recent visit to a flour mill in Pendleton gave us some interesting infor mation on the milling of flour. Kinds of Flour (grouped accord ing to the use for which the flours were milled.) 1. Bread Flour This type is milled from hard wheat, is fairly high in protein content (glut enin, gliadin, etc.) and is some what granular to the touch. 2. All Purpose Flour All pur pose, general purpose, or fam ily flours are of such compo sition that they may be used satisfactorily for all household cookery purposes. In soft wheat arpas. thpv arp iwnallv a hlnnrl of soft wheats; in hard wheat producing areas, they are us ually a blend of hard wheats. Sometimes they are made from a blend of both hard and soft wheats. 3. Pastry Flour Pastry flours may be made either of hard or soft wheat, althnntrh th pv nrp usually made of the latter. They are iainy low in protein, and are finely milled, though not so fine as cakp flnnr Thov arp especially milled for making pastry ana are used cruelly by bakers. 4. Cake Flour Cake flours are milled from soft uhpnts anH am the most finely ground of all flours. Protein content is low. Less cake flour is now manu factured for home use because of the prevalent use of mixes. 5. Macaroni Flour This type of flour is milled especially for making macaroni, spaghetti, and noodles. Best macaroni flour comes from Durum wheat which is high in protein. Good maca roni flour is creamy or amber colored and more granular than other flours.
