Her theme broiietii out the relationship he twern God. man and the soil, us well as ihe stewardship needed In caring for the soil. John Bauer of Portland, man ai:er of North I'nclflc Grain Growers, Inc., discussed mark ets In his principal address of the evening, "The Northwest hits u unUue narrow and shallow market," he Mild, "and It tends to over re. ii I " Of the IM.I crop of l.'iK ,000,000 bushels of white wheul In the northwest. 7.9 million bushels, or 5.7, were milled; 17.645,000 bushels, or 12.7, of the crop went for feed and seed; and carryover wus 18,270,000 bush els. The rest went Into export, totaling 0H, Bauer said. Of this 35.H million bushels went to Japan, Taiwan and other coun tries of the Orient, und 58,840,. MX) bushels went Into conces sional sale under Public Law 4X0 to India, Tukistun, Korea anil other countries. Dollar export sales, Public Ijiw 480 and carryover wheat are niatters of prime concern to Hie grower, he said. "The Department of Agricul ture controls Hl of the white wheat murket," Bauer said. "The Department of Agriculture Is composed of dedicated people and they're trying their damn dest to make It work." He added, "We'd like to get them out of the business, but how do votl get them out of It when they control 81 of the market?" Coopt Buy 80 Bauer said that cooiieratlves buy more than 80 of the white wheat sold Into markets in the Pacific Northwest. He categorized those In the market as "bears," who want prices down, and "bulls," who want prices up, Among the "bears" are flour mills, Jopa nese trading companies, and feeders. Growers on the other hand ore "bullish." "But a big part of the mar ket Is made up of swingers. They don't cure If the market Is going up or going down If they are on the right side," Bauer declared. He discussed international. traders and their lmortanec. "Swingers (speculators) make the murket often times," he said, adding that wheat price swung from $1.50 to $1.96 per bushel this year. "You formed Morrow County Gintn Growers 36 years ago be cause you wanted to stop the swing, Bauer stated. "It can swing up too far too fust." He iKilnted out how the $1.96 last year broke the market and the price dropped to $1.65 In two weeks. "What vou are looking for Is stability. You wanted a voice In the market." Long Winter Predicted In looking to the future and "what's going to happen," Bauer said. "I don't know, but I can tell you some of the factors. It has been a long fall, and It's going to be a lot longer win ter." Harvest for the current year went tip to between 144,000,000 and 152,000,000 bushels, the speaker said. He told of strife In India which has curtailed the market there and said that there will not be much more program ming for 30 to 60 days. Bailor said he expects the 1966 world crop to be greater, but world needs on cash sales may not be as great. The North Pacific manager pointed out during his talk that Morrow Countv Grain Growers, Inc., is one of 50 cooperatives that form North Pacific Grain Growers. McCurdy Toastmaster Manager McCurdy, who was toastmastcr during the course of the evening and kept proceed ings at a lively pace, reviewed the balance sheet and operating report. Current assets are listed ut $326,658.6-1 and total assets are $1,425,104.32. Net worth to tals $1,363,142.99. Operating report snows net income for the year ending May 31, 1966, down to $3,963.93, low est figure for many years. This Is due to three factors, McCur dy said: 1. Commodity Credit Corporation no longer lias any storage in country houses in the Northwest. 2. MCGG charges for handling and storage have not changed for 20 years. 3. Govern ment programs have taken ac reage out of production. With government changes, this will Increase again, he said. Two directors, Walter Jacobs and Tad Miller, were reelected for 3-year terms and Barton Clark was elected also for a 3 year term to succeed Elmer Palmer, who requested that he not be considered for reelection. Tresldcnt Jacobs exten d e d thanks to Palmer for his serv ice on the board for six years. Seven associate directors were elected for 1-year terms. They include Orval Matheny, Keith Rea, A. R. Crawford, Robert Ma honey, Robert Jones, Roger Pal mer and Lee Palmer. Report of the nominating committee was given by Delwin Nelson, chair man. At a directors' meeting fol lowing the general meeting all officers were reelected for the coming year, including Jacobs as president, Lewis Halvorson as vice president, Larry Lind say, secretary, McCurdy as manager-treasurer and Riley Munk ers, assistant manager.

Jacobs also reported to the membership that the cooperat ive has purchased two large semi trucks from Inland Navi gation Co., which has quit the trucking business. Cost of the trucks was $8500 each, with trailers, and these will be used to haul grain from the MCGG elevators. He said that the directors, af ter considerable deliberation, had decided to "go Into the trucking business" for them selves, and with the hope of making some profit on the ven ture. Jambs told of the necessity of procuring a new manager fol lowing Lamb's death, saying, "Kortufiutely we didn't have to look long, since we had a man well qualified, experienced and respected In the grain trade in Harlan McCurdy." On the latter's recommenda Hon. a man already employed in the organization, Klley Munk ers, was promoted to assistant manager. Cooperative Said Key "Our cooperative," said Jac obs, "Is one of the keys to this community." He said that it provides Jobs, supports youth activities, serves the ranchers, ann is a tug taxpayer. Don Robinson was presented n plaque by Jacobs for the grains sweepstakes award at the countv fair, and Robinson re sponded by saying that it might seem surprising that a cattle man would win the wheat award, but attributed his suc cess to use of fertilizer on the crop. Sharing in the 10 door prizes, each consisting of a package of the 411 champion beef which was raised by Gwen Drake, dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Drake, were Bob Mahoney, Dr. A. D. McMurdo.

"But they have a saying around Corvallls that when you want to learn about Oregon State football, go to Heppner," he said, reflecting some of the enthusiasm for the sport no ticed here. The matter of parks came up when it was announced that the county will receive Federal grants for use at Cutsforth and Anson Wright Memorial parks. Countv Judge Paul Jones said that he had not yet been advis ed that the grants were approv ed, even though news releases from the Department of Interior had been received to that ef fect bv the Gazette-Times.

Matching money from the iea- eral government may also be forthcoming for the year 1967 68. Cutsforth said that at the start of doc season, he counted 31 trailers In and near Cutsforth park. Plans have been started for five trailer pads to accom modate 10 trailers.

A sum of $1500 had been allowed In trie budget for the purpose, as explained by Louis Carlson, chairman of the lone advisory board, In an ap pearance Tuesday night How ever, all previous bids have been much too high. The bid from Pasco Is by far the lowest, and will require vol-, untcer help from residents of the lone area. School custodian will do the painting, and volunteer labor has been offered for clean ing Joints In the pool, Carlson said. The board decided that the some $500 above the . amount budgeted be taken from other Items budgeted for lone in order to get the Job done. Principal Harold Beggs produced a letter from the state authority threat ening withholding of license to operate the pool if the needed work was not done. Principal Beggs also called at tention to the fact that lone needs a new score clock for bas ketball games and said that a company had submitted a price of $475 for a suitable replace- ment of the oresent scoreboard.
