2 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. Jun 29. 1967 Travelers Visit In Kinzua Homes mm County Agent's Office Field Day Tour To Show Latest Grain Br GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent The Tendloton Experiment Station is holding its alternate year field day June 30, starting at 1:30 p.m. Growers and other interested persons will see the latest in cereal and grain re search. A small planting of "Triticale", the widely publiciz ed wheat and barley cross, will be seen. This wheat cereal rye (whye) is still in the development stage. It is not ready for release as a commercial hybrid. It is Anti-Salmonella Drive Aims First At Grain Cleanup Clean up! Clean up! Clean up wherever grain is, has been or will be. This is the message Dale W. Stuart of the Oregon Department of Agriculture stres sed to growers at meetings in Oregon and Washington last week. Why? Because federal and state "governments have decided the salmonella problem in grain and feeds is a lot more serious than expected. The agencies, state and federal with local aid, have launched a major "stop salmonella" campaign of detec tion and prevention. Contami nated grain will be seized and will not be released, even for animal feed, until denatured. Officials have traced salmo nella outbreaks in hurnans to the strangest places, Stuart said. For example, a rare midwest outbreak last year resulted when salmonella from a nearby chicken farm was sucked into a milk plant through a venti lating system. This salmonella drive is not a shotgun approach but a big and detailed effort to stamp out infection among poultry and livestock through seizure of contaminated feeds and general cleanup in feed plants, Stuart reported. Grain growers, truckers, ware house and elevator operators can "beat the inspectors to the draw" on breaking the "cycle of transmission" of salmonella if they do a thorough clean up job, Stuart told the growers and handlers. Over-simplified, the cycle runs from man and ani mal which can infect each oth er. Also two animals can infect each other. Everyone in the growing and marketing chain must be alert ed and trained to be on the lookout for potential danger spots, from combines and truck -to storage areas, where salmo-1 nella can reproduce. USDA Equalizes Grain Fee Schedule Pendleton will go on a par with Portland on July 1 when it comes to paying fees for grain division services of the State Department of Agriculture. An order to that effect was signed by Director of Agricul ture Walter Leth late last week after a public hearing in Port land on June 9. The hearing and order were the result of Chapter 208 of the 1967 legislative session which directed that grain inspection, grading and weighing fees in the two areas be the same. An essential change for the Pendleton area growers will eliminate the higher differential they paid for submitted samp les. The legislative move for uniform fees at the state's two largest grain shipping centers was sparked by grower groups in Union county. The new law does not affect the present fee schedule for grain division services at the Merrill district or Portland; it lowers the Pendleton rates. Copies of the complete fee schedule may be obtained from SDA's Grain Division, 606 S. E. 9th Avenue, Portland; the Pen dleton branch office; or the State Department of Agriculture, Salem. Pine City 4-H Club Hears of Stock Show The Pine City 4-H club met at the home of Jerry Myers on June 15. Patti Healy told about the livestock show at The Dal les that her family attended. Patty Daly and Joan Healy gave a demonstration about how to feed and care for dairy calves. Melvin Ashbeck went to the 4-H summer school at Cor vallis. Several of our club members are planning to go to the 4-H summer school June 29. Mrs. Myers served root beer floats. No date has been set for our next meeting. John Myers, reporter Research very- tall and still segregated for rust resistance. At this time the development of "whye" is important for being break-through for plant breeders. Hybrid Barley. Wheat Get Attention of Breeders We are in an era of hybrids. Forty years ago the word hy brid would not have meant much to many people. Certain things are associated with hy brids such as vigor, bigness, in creasing yield, or better perfor mance of some kind. Since the potential mechan isms for production of hybrid wheat and barley has been found there is great interest in these plants. Most of the interest has been directed towards hybrid wheat Hybrid barley is now receiving considerable attention in some areas. Developers of hybrid barley cite the example of hybrid wheat development when asked how long it will be before we have hybrid barley. Four years ago when this question was asked to t he wheat breeders as they started their program, they were saying about five years. At the recent Northwest Crop Improvement Association meeting in Pendle ton they were still saying about five years. Evidently the safest thing to say about hybrid wheat is that it can and will be pro duced sometime in the future. Nugaines Better Rust Resistant Growers of Nugaines wheat, and research workers, are re porting better strip rust resist ance in this recently released variety compared to Gaines. Morrow county received a small allocation of Nugaines for planting last fall. Planting Tips Given on Moro Farmers who plan to plant Moro club wheat this fall shouldn't overlook recommenda tions for fertilizer and seeding variety, early seeding will re dates. Being a quick emerging suit in more vegetative growth than desirable for the amount of soil moisture used. Moro has taller and weaker straw than Gaines. Heavy fertilization cre ates a lodging hazard. When nitrogen fertilizer is used it is recommended the rate to be about 80rc of that used for Gaines. Testing has shown that seed ing after about October 10 us ually prevents excessive fall growth. Control Needed for Puncture Vine Puncture vine, a warm sea son weedy pest, is now becom ing noticeable. It can usually be controlled with 2,4-D befor be controlled with 2,4-D before it starts to bloom. Early appli cation is important. Hoeing is effective in small areas. Punc ture vine seeds will germinate throughout the summer when moisture is present. Why it pays to call ahead reservations. There's nothing more dismal than a string of "No Vacancy" signs after a long day's driving. So do yourself two big favors when you travel by car: (1) call ahead for reservations and (2) plan to stop early enough to get a really good rest. Your trip will be much more pleasant.

Vllman and Chairman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas have intro duced the Beef Import Quota Act of 1967, which will reduce im ports by an estimated 20 from existing quotas, include mili tary purchases with appropriat ed funds within the quotas, and base the quotas on domestic consumption rather than pro duction.

"I am particularly pleased by the voluntary program develop ed by your Association and the Amercian National Cattlemen's Association to hold down live meat production to bring sup ply in line with demand," Ull man told the cattlemen.

Two Groups Urge Individual Help To Cut Littering Skyrocketing litter problems which come with every summer traveling season could be cut way back with relatively little individual effort. As the Fourth of July holi days near, that is the reaction of two beautificatlon and litter prevention organizations serving Washington. "For most people, littering is an unconscious act. With just a bit more attention on each person's part, a tremendous im provement could be made," spokesmen for the two groups pointed out. Speaking up this week were Youth For Oregon Bcautification 'iand CLEAN ami Beautiful. The state youth organization was developed by teenagers who at tended the National Youth Con ference on Conservation and Natural Beauty last year In Washington, D. C.

Leave your picnic area as clean or cleaner than you found it . . . Treat vacation sites just as well as your own home and yard. If those ideas don't work, the experts suggested remembering that litter clean-up in the Unit ed States costs $500 million a year, a tax burden shared by all citizens.
