HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. October 27. 1 VA y-. Mm County Agent's Office Small Watershed Approval Given For Buttercreek By GENE WINTERS Morrow County Extension Agent Word was received recently that the application for assist ance under the Small Watershed Act. tP. L. 566 for the Butter creek watershed and the Little Buttercreek waters h e d s had been approved by the State En gineer. The next step will be review and action bv the State Con servationist of the Soil Conser vation Service. Unless an economical means can be found to import unap propriated water from outside the basin there is a very strong possibility that storage of wa ter for irrigation would not be feasible. Should this be the case, benefits to flood control and land treatment measures would also be reduced. It should be noted the Bur eau of Reclamation has done some investigation in importing water into Buttercreek by tun nel via Snipe Creek from Cam as Creek. Weed Harard to Cattle A recent report from Utah points out the hazards of cat tle and sheep from grazing false helebore during the grow ing season. False helebore, also called western helebore, wild corn, and skunk cabbage, is a showy per ennial growing in the western states. Plants grow from three to eight feet tall and are us ually found in wet seepage areas. Agriculture Research Service scientists at the Animal Disease and Parasite Research Labora tory, Logan, Utah, have found that deformed calves and lambs may be born if the mother eats this poisonous plant on the 14th day of gestation. Eaten before or after the 14th day small amounts of the plant may cause death of the fetus without af fecting the mother. If eaten on the 14th day the plant invari ably causes head deformation that gives the young a "mon key face" appearance. The poisonous chemicals in false helebore are contained in the entire green plant. As the i leaves or stems lose their groon color, because of maturity, lack I of water, or freezing, they also lose tne poisons. Weather Records Compiled Rainfall records for the l;V5 66 agriculture weather vear i from IS weather observers have been collected and prepared in mimeograph form. Precipitation during the peri od starting September 1, U65, and through August l;66. show ed a wide variation in Morrow county. Measurcme n t s show near i inches in the areas north and west of lone during this period. In the Lena area near ly 11.5 inches was recorded. Sear Valhy about 8.4 inches was reported. Very close to this amount was measured near Lexington. The official recordings at the Heppner station and Hardman stations were identical at S.3S inches. Total rainfall for the report ing period doesn't give the whole story. For example July rainfall extremes were reported from 0.8 inches to almost l.S inches. This amount in April, or May. or June, would have made a substantial increase in grain production. July rainfall, of course, ben efited range, pasture and al falfa production. The timing of precipitation can be more important than the total amount. low Cost' Eating Program Slated For November 16 By MRS. MARJORIE WILCOXEN County Home Agent "Now is the time," the Wal rus said, "to talk of many things of sealing wax, cab bages and kings." Since we have few cabbages and no kings in Morrow coun ty, I will talk of many things. One that should be of special interest to everyone is the "Low Cast Adventures in Good Fat ing" program that is scheduled for November 16. l'J66. at 1:00 i p.m. at the Fair Annex. There , will be domonstrations using ! low oast cuts of meat. They can i be just as delirious and riutrit j ions as the higher cost cuts. There will be recipes and door prizes. So organize a tasting party, and sample some of I these food - dollar - stretching j meat dishes. The program is I sponsored bv the Morrow Coun ! tv Extension Committee, the Cow Belles, and the Morrow Countv Home Extension Service.

"Oroqon'i Water Strategy" DON WOODWARD (left), president of the Oregon Wheat Grow ers League, and Ron Row, member at the Oregon Wheat Com mission, are shown receiving a certificate ol appreciation for their work in developing the market for U. S. wheat in Japan from Tsutomu Tanaka. Tanaka was the chief of the govern ment trade team which recently visited the Pacific Northwest and is presently Director of Administration for the Japanese Food Agency, who has the authority to purchase alt wheat imported Dy japan. Wheat Situation Draws Attention Of Japanese Team A highly regarded Japanese government trade team was In this area recently reviewing the U. S. wheat situation and the classes and amounts available to Japan.. Tsutomu Tnnjik.i ttnm lindnr estimates that Japan will Im port MX),ow metric tons or I'PiW white wheat this viar. This Is some 200,000 metric tons more man they normally buy or this class of wheat. Five years ago Jnnjin hnnnht r,inni1 tiitflttl metric tons of all classes from tne v. i. which amounted to only 3Vi of their total imports. This year, Japan expects to pur chase 22 million metric tons of wheat from the U. S. which will be 5-l'r of their total imports. Tanaka gave three leading reasons for the growing popu larity of U. S. wheat in Japan: 1. Market promotion work car ried out in Japan by the Ore con Wheat League, Western Wheat Associates and the USDA; 2. the deartment's pol icy of competitive pricing of wheat; and 3, the work by the department, wheat producers, and railroads to place mid-west wheat on the West Coast where they could compete effectively with Canadian wheats. While here, Tanaka present ed the League and the Oregon Wheat Commission with a cer tificate of appreciation from the Japanese Food Agency for tn-lng the leaders in developing tile school lunch program and many other promotional projects. Mrs. Ed (Rachol) Dick has been in Portland this week to attend meetings of the state Parent -Teacher association exec utive board and board of man agers. She was expected to re turn Friday.
