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.

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.

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.
