II Foreign Countries Report
Importing U. s. Turkeys
The United States' foreign
turkey trade, rising sharply
from about 7 million pounds in
llH.il. scored gains again in fis
cal year PJ64. when M countries
bought about 36 million pounds
of U. S. fresh-frozen turkey.
While the European Economic
Community iLECl nations, and
particularly West Germany, took
the largest amounts, sales to
many other countries continued
to rise. Until recent years, few
people outside the three major
producing countries the United
states. Canada and the United
Kingdom had ever tasted tur
key.
Since 1958. when the United
membership meeting at 2:00
p.m. Judging will continue at
8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December
8. with the women's program
scheduled at 2:00 p.m. and a
banquet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
December 9. will climax the
event with a sale beginning at

Care. Feed oi Ewes
Pays Off at Lambing
While cattle growers have had
a bad year as far as prices are
concerned, sheep men have en-
oyed a strong wool and lamb
price this year. Wool and lamb
prices are predicted to continue
strong for the next year. With
this in mind, sheep growers
mignt pian some management
practices mat win return ad
ditional Income on these Dro
ducts. While it Is too late now
to increase the potential lamb
crop, it isn t too late to give
the pregnant ewes some care
that will result in a strong lamb
at birth, lots of milk for the
lamb and increased wool Dro
duction. With the long dry fall,
nuinuous ieea nas Deen at
minimum.
It is well that ewes be fed to
maintain or gain a little weight
ratner than losing condition
during the later signs of preg
nancy. With growing conditions
sucn as they have been, it is
difficult for them to obtain
enough dry matter. These ewes
need to be supplemented with
some excellent aualitv hav. Drer
erable a legume-grass mixture,
u your nay crop was short, a
pound of grain and approxi
mately one-tenth pound of Dro
tein supplement per head daily
win proviue an auequaie ration.
Another way that all lamb3
that are born can be saved is
tagging the heads to clear the
vision of ewes as well as around
the udder region, ud the back
side of hind legs, up to and over
the dock. Ewes can see then to
claim their lambs and lambs can
get to the udder to suckle as
velopment efforts abroad, sales
have risen in most years and
new countries have been added
to the market list Many turkeys
sold overseas are used by hotels
and restaurants, whose facilities
are suitable for the big turkey, t
The homemaker abroad prefers ,
4 to 8 pound birds, and some
times buys economical cut-up
parts.
For the fiscal vear that ended
June 30. 1964. West Germany's
purchases again rose above the
20-million pound mark, ap-1
proaching its 25.5 million pound
record of fiscal 1962. Netherlands
is now taking 3 6 million pounds
of U. S. turkeys. Canada im
ported 3.5 million pounds last
year, almost twice the previous
year's purchase. Greater demand
in Italy has resulted In imports
of 23 million pounds. For 1964.
Japan's rapid development as a
market was the surprise of the
Far Eastern scene, with U. S.
turkey imports of 355.718 pounds
compared to only 38,695 pounds
in 1963. Statistics show that 11
years ago only four countries
were importing turkeys from the
United States compared to the
81 countries importing our tra

The purpes of this meeting

sirable for an extension service
Information program in Board
man and to determine the num
ber and dates of meetings to tx
held. Mnee the pre-nt site of
Boardman will be flooded by the

dents are faced with many de
cisions Including whether to
move their present homes to the
new town site or to rebuild.
About 20 home owners rnw
plan to move house and several
of these houses will require Im
provements In order to meet
ronlng code specifications. Al
though the moving deadline of
June. 1967. seems a long way
off the committee felt that some
residents are unaware of the
amount of time required for
careful planning of moving or
remodeling. Businesses hoe to
be moved by April of l'.in3 as
the new highway will then be
in use. Utility and paving con
tracts for the new town are ex
pected to be let early in 1965.
The following tonics were se
lected for three public evening
meetings at Boardman In March:
1. "Should You Move Your
House?" (Cost of moving, zon
ing an delectrical code require
ments and other aspects of
house moving).
2. "Finance of Housing."
(Types of loans available and

Teflon Cos Rumor Tab
Rumors about Teflon coated
pans have come to our county
extension offices. People ask If
a poisonous gas is given off
when heating this material. You
can be assured there is no
danger and this rumor Is false.
This question has also been
asked by men working In fac
tories and the lumber Industry,
where some tools are Teflon
coated. The safety engineer with
a large Oregon lumber company
tells us that this fear spread
among their workers but there Is

IVlleled wheat alo produced
higher rate of gain than either
whole wheat or ground wheat.
In all of the studies, fred ef
ficiency was better with wheat
than with barley, Indicating a
somewhat higher feeling value
for the wheat. Wheat and bar
ley produced In the Northwest
are generally similar In nutritive
content, except that barley con
talna more than twice as much
fiber as wheat.

State Wheat Growers Meet
We hope to see many wheat
growers at the annual meeting
of the Oregon Wheat Growers
League in La Grande, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. This an
nual meeting will be an im
portant one as growers ponder
problems and opportunities in
wheat production and market
ing in the year ahead. We are
sure that through the concerted
effort of our growers, solutions
will be found on many prob-1
lems that will increase effic
