Wheat Protein Survey
Continues in County
By GENE WINTERS
Morrow County Extension Agent
The wheat protein survey will
ho continued this year. Contain
ers for samples were left recent
ly at most of the receiving ele
vators in the county. Samples
will be collected after harvest
for analysis.
The wheat protein survey has
been a joint endeavor of the
Oregon Wheat Commission and
Oregon State University with co
operating growers and handlers
to determine the management
factors involved in the protein
content of soft white wheat
Approximately 90 samples
will be collected.
Participating growers will re
ceive a report of the samples
tested in September.
A few copies of the protein
testing program for 1964-65 are
available from the County Ex
tension Office.
New Varieties Slated
Throe relatively new wheat
varieties will be planted this
fall in Morrow County. Seed
supplies of Wanser, Nugairifs
and Moro are in short supply.
Any seed planted this fall
should be for seed increase
rather than for commercial use.
The small 1966 Oregon allo
cation of Nugaines was allocat
ed to growers in Union. Uma
tilla. Sherman and Jefferson
counties. These growers have
agreed to sell of their pro
duction this year.
A very small allocation of
Wanser was received by Harry
Proudfoot This hard red winter
wheat was increased under ir
rigation in Umatilla county.
Moro Seed Does Well
Approximately 600 acres of
Moro seed wheat will te har
vested in the county this year.
Moro has yielded very well
on most fields planted accord
ing to incomplete reports.
Growers wishing to grow
these new wheats for seed in
crease should become familiar
Rep. Mann Hopes
Department Will
Appeal Decision
Representative . Irvin Mann,
Jr.. R-Stanfield, expressed disap
pointment to the decision hand
ed down Monday bv a Federal
court in Portland. The court de
termined that the Oregon law,
requiring the labeling of for
eign meat, was unconstitution
al. Mann was sponsor of the
bill in the 1965 Legislature and
was instrumental in getting it
passed.
In stating that he hoped the
State Department of Agriculture
would appeal the decision. Rep
resentative Mann noted the
Oregon bill is one of five or
more in the United States on
the same issue, and that Ore
gon would be a good testing
ground as to the constitution
ality of the law. He added that
the American National Cattle
man's Association is interested
in the matter and would un
doubtedly favor an appeal.
Representat i v e Mann said,
"Consumers have a right to
know what meat is imported as
frozen meat, when such meat
is sold as fresh meat. As an
alternative, the Legis la t u r e
could pass a bill requiring the
seller or distributor to notify
the consumer that the meat he
is selling as fresh meat was
once frozen. That would clear
ly be constitutional."
The Oregon Federal Court
panel, in a 2-1 decision Mon
day, held that the state was ex
ceeding its police powers in re
quiring stores to post conspic
uous signs telling the public
that some of the meat for sale
was foreign. The ruling over
turns a 1965 Oregon law design
ed to protect local meat produc
ers, according to Representative
Mann.
Representative Mann, who is
a Republican candidate for re
election this November, was a
member of the house agricul
ture committee and as a former
president of the Oregon Cattle
man's association, and as a
cattle rancher near Stanfield, he
is deeply interested in the meat
labeling law.
U. S. Circuit Court Judge Wal
ter Ely of Los Angeles and U.S.
District Court Judge Gus Solo
mon of Portland wrote the ma
jority opinion which held the
state law to be in violation of
the U. S. Constitution.
In a dissenting opinion, Judge
Fred M. Taylor of the Boise
U. S. District Court said he be
lieves that Oregon not only has
the power but the "duty to pro
tect citizens from such deception."

Agri-Business
Council Results
In Many Queries
Oregon's new Agri -Business
Council is attracting much at
tention among other st:ite de
partments of agriculture and
agriculture related businesses.
And. Director of Agriculture.
J F. Short, who recently return
ed from a Julv 1 -20 meeting"
of the Western Association of
Directors of Agriculture near
Palmer. Alaska, reports keen in
terest among both the members
of the association and the na
tionwide executive committee of
the National Association of
Stite Directors of Agriculture,
who were at the meeting.
Short said a number request
ed full information on the coun
cil and copies of its bylaws and
articles of incorporation.
The association membership
is from 13 western states, in
cluding Alaska and Hawaii. All
were represented except Arizo
na. New Mexico and Colorado.
Other states represented were
Indiana, whose represenative
was R. B. Wilson, Market Service
Director for that state, and pres
ident of the national associa
tion; New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania. Short said the meeting, which
gave the visiting directors an
opportunity to see Alaska's
main agriculture area in the
Matanuska Valley, also offered
him an opportunity to discuss
mutual problems with directors
from the states of California,
Washington and Idaho.
Activities planned for the vis
iting directors included a visit
to the experiment station at
Palmer to observe crop produc
tion there, visits to a dairy and
produce farm, and attendance at
a Chamber of Commerce meet
ing. Short said that during his
stay he found a potential for
production of high quality virus
free seed potatoes in the Mat
anuska Valley, which could
serve as a source of foundation
stock for Oregon potato grow
ers, and discussing the dairy in
dustry noted that in Alaska
they have a cost of production
problem.
He commented on the excep
tionally high quality vegetables
grown there but said there is
not enough volume for proces
sing and during the short mor
ket period there is a problem
of over supply for the limited
market.
The Oregon director of agri
culture said he was impressed
by the very limited acreage of
Alaska, a state twice as large
as Texas, that is adapted to
production of food and concern
ed with the world's ability to
expand its food production to
meet the immediate future
needs of its population.
