Travels in Germany
Found of Interest
To Barnes Family
Typical of the International
range of families even In a
small town these davs Is the
familv of Mrs. Gerald Barnes
(Carolyn McPanlel), daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl MeDanlel
and a 1958 graduate of Hepp
ner High school.
Mr. and Mrs. Barnes and their
throe small children, Andrea
Joan, 4; Leslie Kim, 3, and
Douglas Paul. 1 In September,
moved to Frankfort, Germany,
early In June from their home
in Maryland. The father Is em
ployed there with the Federal
government and Mrs. Barnes Is
helping In a clothing company
which makes uniforms.
Interesting corrospon donee
has boon coming from the
Barnes family to her parents
here. Some quotations from the
letters follow:
"Last week-end wo drove
south to Heidelburg which is
roallv a fairytale city. It looks
like something in a drawing.
Wo drove up a mountain (rath
er like the old loops on the Col
umbia, though not soon a dis
tance) to a restaurant which ov
erlooked the city. Directly be
.ow us was a huge old castle
which looked as though it had
boon there since the beginning
of time. On below lav the old
part of the cltv and the river,
hero and there through the
trees on the river hillsides,
were the traditional pink-roofed
houses. Very lovely.
"One funny thing here that
I haven't boon able to get used
to is the length of time we
have daylight. Because we are
pretty far north (as compared
to Maryland i it doesn't got dark
until about 9:15. Then at about
i a.m. guess what, there's the
un again!
1 went to a Gorman-I
course ... It is taught by two
Germans and thev are like
nothing ever seen in American
schools. They leap and Jump
about, snapping their fingers
and shouting at us. It is really
a lively class: They speak noth
ing but German to us . . . Each
class is three hours long Mon
day and Wednesday for two
months. I have a feeling I'll
have to sweat for those three
credits!"
Each dav is filled with new
and interesting things to see In
Germany and the surrounding
countries.
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Schmidt
Jill and David, accompanied by
Kay Daggett, have returned from
a trip to Portland and southern
Oregon. They spent three days
in Portland visiting daughters
Judy and Jeanne and other rel
atives then drove south along
the Oregon coast and visited a
nephew, Mike Maze, and his
family in Roseburg. While they
were in Roseburg they were ab
le to tour the television station
where Maze is employed, and
the girls assisted with a broad
cast. En route home through
Central Oregon the group vis
ited Crater Lake.
Nickerson Daughter
Travels Around World
With ISA Study Tour
Lisa Nickerson, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. Francis Nickerson
of Eugene and granddaughter
of Mrs. Grace Nickerson and the
late Frank Nickerson who op
erated the Morrow County Ab
stract and Title Co. in Heppner
tor manv years, has done some
thing while still in college that
many people aim at doing all
their lives. She has made a
trip around the world.
The Eugene Register-Guard
devoted a full page to a des
cription of Miss Nickerson's trip
of last school year. The trip was
an accredited study trip, spend
ing eight months with 14 other
United States students in the
International School of America
(ISA) and for which she re
ceived a year of academic col
lege credit. The participants
lived for some time in each
country, visited and attempted
to really know the people.
"People were wonderful to
us," the article quotes her as
saying, "but there is a definite
resentment of United States pol
icies everywhere we went ex
cept Germany. People feel our
government meddles in other
countries' affairs and that it is
insensitive to other countries'
feelings." She is quoted as say
ing that she was asked most
often to explain United States
policy in Vietnam and our prob
lems with integration.
For Lisa the world was a col
lege classroom. In an eight
month study tour, she visited
Asia, the Middle East and Eur
ope while earning a year of
academic credit. She will soon
enroll for her senior year at the
University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia. Her father is dean
of men on the faculty at the
University of Oregon at Eu
gene. In the interview she stated
"Before I went I was planning
to major in Near Eastern Arch
oology, but after seeing the
modern world, I've lost all in
terest in the ancient. Now I
plan on studying some phase
of international relations."

Crop Prospects
Improve in July
On August 1, grain crops in
Oregon showed improved pro
duction prxxspocts. according to
trie Oregon Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service. After n slow
start because of unfavorable
spring growing conditions, crops
responded to the favorable ma
turing weather during Juno and
July.
Wheat production prospects,
particularly winter wheat, show
ed considerable improvement
during July, with yields turn
ing out better than expected.
lYoduction Is now sot at 25.6
million bushels, over 1 million
more than last month's esti
mate, but nearly 5 million
bushels bolow the 11K5 crop.
Several other grain crops also
showed substantial improve
ment in production prospects
during July. Oats, now placed
at 6.2 million bushels, compar
ed with 5.5 million but are still
bolow the 1.H5 crop of 7.8 ml
lion bushels: and barley, esti
mated at 168 million bushels,
compares with the 14.8 last
month and the liKo crop of
nearly 17 million bushels. For
both those crops yield prospects
increased 5 bushels per acre
during July. The Oregon fore
cast for corn and dry field peas
remained unchanged from last
month's forecast. (Corn for
grain at 9-19 thousand bushels
and dry field peas 113.LXX) hun
dred pound bags).
Hay production at nearly 2
million tons remained about tho
same as a month ago.
Surveys Made
On Windbreaks
To Aid Farmers
Br GENE WINTERS
County Extension Agent
Last Wednesday proved to bo
an excellent dav to observe tho
effectiveness of windbreaks. It
was also a good day to dem
onstrate wheat losses from a
combine harvester during a
windstorm.
We. Charles Riwe, extension
forester, and I. visited ton wind
break plantings In tho county
during tho day. As a result of
tho observations here and In
other Columbia Basin counties,
recommendations for establish
ing and managing windbreaks
will be brought up to date this
fall.
Wheat losses during that
windv afternoon of harvesting
could have run as high as sev.
oral bushels. Kernel counts
showed one and two bushel
losses. In tho case of Gaines
wheat a bushel tx-r acre loss
would average between 15 and
16 seeds per square foot.

Sandbur Control Studies Made
Tills week several Columbia
Basin county courts, county
wood supervisors and county
agents are visiting a number of
sandbur control plots In Uma
tilla county.
Field sandbur, being a shal
low rooted annual grass like
plant, has proven difficult to

Mcrllants. Several treatments
with contact herbicide and
grass killer are necessary dur

to find the material and timing
