HEPPNER gBle f Loo Rains Hurt Crops In Valley, Change Harvest Estimate Heavy, record-breaking rains during August eased eastern Oregon drought conditions, but dumaged many unharvested crops throughout the state, ac cording to the Oregon Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. About one-half of the Willam ette Valley wheat crop was un harvested and susceptible to rain damage, as were much of the barley and oats, and seed and vegetable crops In this ar ea. As important as the reduc ed tonnage was the loss to qual ity resulting from sprouting, mold, and discoloration of grains, seeds, and hay. Weather since September 1 has been fa vorable for salvaging damaged crops. The Oregon wheat crop Is now estimated at 32.5 million bush els, two percent below the Aug ust 1 forecast. Winter wheat pro duction Is estimated at 29.9 mil lion bushels, and spring wheat is expected to produce 2.6 mil lion bushels. The barley crop Is estimated at 11.2 million bush els, down from last month but 29 percent above last year. Ore gon's oat crop is now estimated at 5.3 million bushels, up two percent from August 1. Oregon hay crop is now placed at 2.0 million tons, 12 percent below Inst year. Some danWe to baled hay In the fields has occurred and curing conditions have been poor since mid-August. Snap bean harvest was stop ped by the August rains with one or two pickings lost on the pole beans. Over-maturity, molds, rots, and rust are serious problems for the bush beans still unharvetsed. Late potatoes are developing slower than ex pected in the Klamath Falls area. Oregon's pear harvest has been hastened in the Hood and Rogue River areas due to the heavy rainfall. Accelerated ripe ening of Bartletts has resulted in a heavy drop since Septem bere 1 at Hood River. A heavy drop of filbert blanks has re duced crop expectations, but size and quality are expected to be good. August rams nave delay ed orchard floor preparations. The total U. S. wheat crop Is forecast at 1.495 million bush els since September 1 compar ed with 1,606 million bushels a month earlier and 1,524 million bushels produced in 1967. CroD estimates and forecasts are based on farmer reports of yield and crop conditions.

The meeting Is designed to be of interest to anyone that hunts deer or prepares It for the ta ble, but especially for those who do not particularly care for the venison they are now bring ine home to the table. Land force states that how the deer is cut up and cooked is the most important step in getting delicious venison served on the table. He recommends boning out the deer, and will illustrate this with colored film and slides. The advantage of boning out the deer, according to the wild life specialist, are that it sep arates the good meat from the connective tissue, fat off grained muscle, and makes suit able sized chunks of meat for the cook to prepare Drooerlv. Also, less freezer space Is re quired when the meat has been boned. He claims the boning process is easy. All that a per son really needs to have in or der to bone their animal suc cessfully Is a countertop, meat saw, a knife, and the courage to try lt.- Landforce recommends that deer be boned out and made in to just as much steak meat as possible. He will show how this boning process is done and will also discuss a man's way of cooking venison. He claims that venison can be an unusual treat for the family and is especially delicious cooked as a breakfast meat He will explain how to prevent strong, off-flavored meat.
