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.

AWLEY
Landforce Talk On
What to do with a deer after
you get it will be the timely
message from Andy Landforce,
extension wildlife management
specialist at Oregon State Uni
versity, In a special meeting ar
ranged by the Umatilla Coun'y
Home Economics Extension Ser
vice, and the Pendleton Chapter
of the Izaak Walton League.
This public meeting will be held
at 7:30 p.m.. Tuesday, September
24 at the Vert Auditorium in
Pendleton. Arrangements are
being made by Molly Saul,
Horns Extension agent, and Gor
don George, president, Izaak
Walton League.
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.
One way to field dress, skin,
and care for a deer in the field
will be shown. Colored slides
will be used to illustrate the
different situations that a hunt

teams on the opening game.
Besides those already men
tioned, he had words of praise
for the piny of Hal Bergstrom.
Dave Wright. John Harris, Dean

Coach Hiemstra said that the
excellent blocking of the line
helped give McCabe time to un
leash an effective passing at
tack. Wright unfortunately suffered
an ankle injury in the game
and will be out of action for
a couple of weeks, the coach
said. The squad has an open
date this week-end, and that
will help give time for the re
