Chats From Your Home Agent Four-H Knitting Books Available By ESTHER KIRMIS Mrs. Robert Abrams, Heppner, was in the other day asking about our new 4'-H knitting books. Her daughter, Libby, is enrolled in the Blue Mountain Knitters, and brought home a Phase I knitting book. Marian saw it and knew it to be well written. She was wondering if the new books were available to the general public. I was happy to tell her that the State 4-H club office is sell ing the books outright to other than 4-H members and leaders to 25c a copy, or all seven for $1.50. Here is a line-up of the phases: Phase I Knit and purl. Phase H Increase and de crease. Phase III Buttonholes and pick-up stitches. Phase IV Patterned stitch. Phase VI Working with mix ed colors. Phase VII Combining knit ting with fabric. Mrs. Kenneth Palmer, Lexing ton, came in about the same time and ordered three different phases. The county agent's office will forward your order to the State 4-H club office and the books will be sent directly to you. Extension Food Marke ting Specialist Velma Seat writes "They haven't got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil, and because of this contradiction to the theme of the popular song, coffee prices are increasing and prob ably will stay at a relatively high level for some time to come. Extensive weather damage to Brazil's coffee trees is the cause of the upward price trend."

Has Banner Year on Wheat Sales to Japan By JOHN WELBES Executive Vice President, Oregon Wheat Growers League During the mid-fifties the lead ers of the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League took a look into the crystal ball. What they saw was a great potential market for Pa cific Northwest and United States wheat in Japan. Immed iately the wheels began, to turn and programs were started by the league to promote the use of wheat in the Japanese diet. Now, 10 years later, one can see what the crystal ball told the Wheat League leaders was correct. Year 1963 was a banner on- for wheat sales to Japan. For the year sales amounted to 1,380,000 metric tons of 50,701,200 bushels, the largest in the his tory of U. S.-Japan wheat trade. These exports for 1963 were up 79 over the previous 12 month period and the dollar equivalent rose from $53 million to an un precedented $95 million. Canada, which had previously been the leading exporter to Japan, slipped into second place with 1,158,000 metric tons fol lowed by Australia with 402,000 metric tons. Effective promotional efforts by Jim Hutchinson, Western Wheat Associates director in the Tokyo office, is due a lot of credit in promoting these in creased wheat sales to Japan. Also, the state Wheat Commis sions and state grower assoc iations along with the USDA should share in this accomplish ment. Continued efforts to in crease the sales and usage of U. S. wheat in this important market will be exerted in 1964. The W.W.A. office in Tokyo is already developing an aggres sive market development pro gram for the coming year. The Oregon Wheat Growers League had the vision to see this potential market and to do some thing about it. One of the sig nificant things about the Jap anese market is the fact that it started out in the beginning as a P.L. 480 program and now is our leading market for dollar sales.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST BELL 1964 Streamflow Outlook Appears Close to Average Streamflow in Umatilla, Mor row and Gilliam counties during the 1964 irrigation season will be very close to average if snow continues to accumulate at nor mal rates and if the spring melt ing season is favorable for run off, according to a report released today by T. P. Helseth, State Conservationist of the Soil Con servation Service (USDA), coop erating with Oregon State Uni versity, Oregon State Engineer and others. Stored water supplies are satisfactory except in Mc Kay Reservoir which now holds 10,300 acre feet or 4,000 a.f. less than last year. January storms piled up the snow at a heavy rate, raising the water content of the snowpack from 29 percent of average on January 1 to 110 percent by Feb ruary 1. Water content of the snow at Tollgate increased from 8,6 inches to 23.2 inches for a new record of 14.6 inches in crease in January. The soil mantle under the snowpack is well recharged and averages 83 percent of capacity. I his will favor a satisfactory runoff of snowmelt water next spring. Cold Springs Reservoir has 36,700 acre feet in storage com pared with 32,700 a. f. a year ago at this date. Average storage on February 1 is 28,400 a. f. a year ago at this date, Average storage on February 1, is 28,400 a. f. McKay Reservoir holds only 10, 300 a. f. which is considerably less than the average figure of 33,700 acre feet. It will be "nip and tuck" whether the reservoir fills this year. The Umatilla River at Pendle ton is forecast to flow 192,000 acre feet or 103 percent average in the April through September period. The South Fork of the Walla Walla should flow 76,000 acre feet or 100 percent average for the same six months. McKay Creek is forecast to flow 32,000 acre feet or 103 per cent April through September. In the February-September per iod it should flow about 61,000 a. f. or 100 percent average. At this rate, it is doubtful if the reservoir will fill this year. Butter Creek is forecast to flow 14,500 acre feet or 103 percent average for the March-July per iod. Flow of the Umatilla at Uma tilla has been 45 percent aver age in January but only 33 per cent average October 1 to date from preliminary data from U. S. Geological Survey, Portland, Ore gon. Statewide, heavy January storms brought huge additions to the mountain snowpack in much of Oregon and gave added assurance that the 1964 water supply outlook for the state will be adequate the first adequate outlook since the winter and spring of 1957-58. Watershed soils are recharged sufficiently to favor snowmelt runoff and stored water supplies are satis, factory except for McKay Reser voir near Pendleton. The next report on snow sur veys and water supply conditions will be issued about March 9, 1964. When you patronize Gazette Times advertisers, you help make a better paper.
