Help for Fire
Damaged Lands
Governor Tom McCall has
strongly supported a request for
emergency funds to provide re
habilitation on fire damaged
iirens on Alder Creek, Knhler
Creek and Lake Creek In Wheel
er county, according to an
nouncement Tuesday by Allen
Nis-tad of the Kinzua Corpora
tion. The request was In the form
of a personal letter to feecre
tf ry of Agriculture Orville Free
man supporting an application
Approved by the Soil Conserva
tion Service, the Wheeler Coun
ty Technical Action panel and
the Soil and Water Conservation
District. Assistance In the proj
ect was provided by the Forest
Service and the State Depart
ment of Forestry.
The emergency funds, In the
amount of $21,000 which are
being sought, will provide for
grass reseeding of the fire dam
awed area, with a companion
$30,000 tree planting and seed
ing effort being borne by the
ID land owners In the area.
Governor McCall stressed the
need for the program to provide
soil stabilization, prevent silta
tion of streams and offer flood
control In the fire ravaged area,
and pointed to the substantial
success such rehabilitation pro
prams have had elsewhere in
Oregon, particularly in the
Schoolmarm fire area In Wasco
county.
The request was further sup
ported by pointing to the de
pressed economy of the area
which prevents individuals from
accomplishing the entire Job
themselves, it is hoped that the
coordinated efforts of local peo
ple, local, state and federal
agencies, and Governor McCall
will see the request for emer
gency funds granted promptly.

This August is unusual In the
rain department, too, bringing
the longest wet spell In perhaps
two years, Gilliam states. For
the week, total precipitation Is
recorded at 1.17 inches, and in
the past 11 days it has been
151, the total fur August to
date.
Willamette Valley folks, used
to getting, say, three Inches In
a clay, may snicker at this, but
it Is something for this coun
try, and pretty welcome, even
though some of the season's
harvest Is yet to be completed.
Normal precipitation, here !n
August is .39 inch, Gilliam
states. Record August was in
1911 when rainfall totaled 2.18
inches. Other high years were
In 1953, 1.83 Inches: 1965. 1.67
inches: and 1918, 1.65 inches.
5.000 Acres Left
As nearly as can be determ
ined, there are some 4,000 to
5.000 acres of grain left to har
vest In the county, according to
Harlan McCurdy, general man
ager of Morrow County Grain
Growers, Inc. Report In daily
napers a few days ago mistak
enly reported 75,000 acres left
to harvest.
This should have been 75,000
bushels instead of acres, Mc
Curdy said. Approximately 140,-
000 acres in the county were
olanted to wheat and barley
I this year, and the Grain Grow
ers now have between 1500,000
and 1 JOO.uoO bushels of the cur
rent year crop In Its elevat
or. McCurdy said that the best
years here have reached approx
imately 3.UU0.00U bushels of
grain in the Mi'GG elevator,
but probably more acreage was
farmed and probably more now
Is handled in farm storage.
Down One-Third
He said that he has not vet
figured the average yield, but
estimates have placed It some
one-third below average.
Among those who are yet to
complete their harvest are At
len Tom. some 500 acres. Ken
Cutsforth. small acreage of the
Merrill Gray operation, some on
ranches of Upper Rhea Creek,
Ken Batty, Bechdolt Bros, and
others.
While maximum tempera
tures were considerably below
last vear this week, minimum
temperatures were also down
Lust year for the corresponding
week they ranged generally In
the 0's, but this year they are
in the 50's and dipped Into the
