New Regulations Aimed to Stem Camping Abuses New regulations aimed at making camping more enjoy able will be in effect at Nation al Forest campgrounds this sea son, the U. S. Forest Service re ports. , , The regulations issued by the fAAMtnm, rf A arriiiltnrp are de- signed to better control behav ior or actions that tend to des troy the camping experience as well as cause damage or en danger persons. They are really "common sense reduced to regulation," ac cording to Regional Forester Charles A. Connaughton, who pointed out that "a lew persons can jeopardize the environment for all." The new rules will be firmly but judiciously applied, Connaughton said. They will be used to enhance a camper's va cation, not to spoil it. The regulations relate to san itation, public behavior and preservation of public property, audio devices, site occupancy, and use of vehicles. Forest Serv ice officers will work closely with local law enforcement of ficers to enforce state laws as well as Federal regulations. Primary aim in the area of sanitation will be to stop pol lution and littering. Action also will be taken to reduce vandal ism, boisterous behavior, excess ive noise and danger from mo tor vehicles, camping in unau thorized spots or over the time limit, rubbish left by campers, and other things affecting the enjoyment of others, such as an imals running unleashed. Summaries of the regulations will be posted at developed campgrounds throughout Ore gon and Washington. Copies of the full regulations are on file at National Forest and Ranger District Offices. SMS County Agent's Office Moisture Needs For Wheat Vary; Highest in June By GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent Th uator remilroments of wheat have been studied by re search workers more intensely in recent years. These results, as well as earlier ones, show .. .).... ti ho amnni' the most efficient field crops in water us age. Average consumptive use for fall Needed Eralns in the Hepp-ner-Pendleton area has been computed to be 20.66 Inches. Broken down into months this would be for April 380 Inches, May 5.85 Inches, June 7.03 liwh es and July 3.98 inches. These are the average amounts used by wheat plants when sufficient moisture la available. The average Irrigation re quirement for these months would be April 2.56 inches, May 4 47 inches, June 5.82 inches and 3.78 inrhes in July for a total of 16.63. The actual irrigation requirement would be higher or lower depending upon rainfall during the months. Application rates would be higher than irrigation requirements. The amount depending upon the ef ficiency of the irrigation system. Lesser amounts are used by plants when less water is avail able. ti,o rlail v use nf water in n-eases from about 0.08 inches A-ijr at the hepinninff of sDrins growth to the jointing stage. From jointing to boot stage water use doubles; from boot to flower stage about 0.25 inches per day; wheat increases to 0.30 when the plants get to ihe milk stage and drops slight ly at the dough stage to matur ity. It can be seen the daily use rate increased consistently dur ing early spring growth to a maximum during flower to milk stage of grain. The rate of use declines after the milk stage as the grain ripens. xrv.n Anlu rtnp irrigation is available the desirable time to anDlv wouia De at xne uooi stage.

Forest Service Supports Project At Kelly Prairie Proposal to construct a dam and reservoir at Kelly Prairie was discussed recently at a meeting In Portland, according to Wright T. Mallery, Umatilla National Forest supervisor. Morrow County Court, the Ore gon State Game Commission, the Regional Forester's Office, and the Umatilla National For est were represented. Mallery stated that based on the Multiple Use Impart Report prepared by the Umatilla Nat ional Forest, the Kelly Prairie project appears to be desirable and in line with the overall For est Service mission in recreation developments. He explained that final determination of feasibil ity, based on hydrologic and geological data, has not yet been completed. He further stat ed the Forest Service is inter ested in this project if it is con structed, and will participate as Forest Service funds become available. The results of initial investi gation indicate that an im poundment of about 300 acres may be the most logical size. Provided the hydrologic and geological studies prove favor able, construction should begin on Kelly Prairie in approximate ly five years. The Forest Service lias issued a permit to tne uregun ow"--Game Commission to do prelim- Inr.r anrrinpprino and COre drill- ing during the summer of 19b8 to determine if the construction of a dam on Kelly Prairie is geologically feasible. Based on recreational visitor days use protected for the first 5-year period following construc tion of the reservoir, the cost ot the recreation developments s estimated to be one-half mil lion dollars. Supervisor Mallery stated that Forest Service participation would consist of construction oi the recreation developments. Limited amount of recreational funds available indicate it will be approximately five years be fore these developments could be programmed. It is hoped that the Oregon State Game Commis sion would be able to construct the dam by this date. The res ervoir may take several year to fill. It was agreed that con struction of the dam and con struction of the recreational fa cilities should be programmed to coincide with each other. Morrow County Judge Paul Jones and Commissioners Jack Van Winkle and Walter Hayes expressed disappointment that Kelly Prairie could not be built earlier as had been hoped. They suggested that every avenue be explored that might lead to ear lier construction. Those present expressed their belief that this would be one of the finest man made recreational facilities in eastern Oregon. ii if i PENDLETON McNary Golfers Entertained Here Willow Creek Country Club was alive with activity on May 12 when 40 men and 20 wom en golfers competed for nine hole honors, tiuehta of the local club for the day were members of the McNury Golf club.
