HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. Mar 29. I 5$ PENDLETON '((' 1)002010 c OSU to Start Student Exchange In Ag. Program A 9 All! AV tween the University of Hawaii and Oregon State university may open a whole new complex of lobs for future graduates of OSU's School or Agriculture notes Harold Kerr, county ex (rtticlnn a front Dr. E. C. Stevenson, associate dean of agriculture, said the program will provide studies in tropical agriculture noi avanu Kin nn I ho DSII CBmDUS. Since graduates from OSU's School of Agriculture who go into International programs fre quently are assigned to South America or developing nations in Africa or other tropical-zone areas, Stevenson sees a real ad vantage in supplementing their temperate-zone training ana ex perience. He noted that differences ex ist not only In the crops grown between the geographical areas, but in uses of chemicals and production, harvesting and pro cessing practices. The program was originated by the OSU International Agri cultural Programs Committee headed by David Long, agricul tural oncrinivrfriir nrofnssor. It will permit students from the University of Hawaii to study at any of the colleges In the Oregon State System of Higher Education at in-state rates. In exchange for an equal number of OSU students attend ing the University of Hawaii on a similar basis. ... . The Department or Animal Science, Farm Crops, Horticul ture, Agricultural Education and Soils all have expressed inter est in having their students par ticipate in such an international program, Long said. Another committee member, W. R. Furtlck, who visits Hawaii frequently in connection with a weed-control research project at the university there, has been instrumental in working out de tails of the exchange program. It Is expected that students would spend a school year, pref erably as juniors, at the ex change institution. Day to Day Wheat Inventory Slated By Ag Department Amounts of exportable wheat available in the Pacific North west and locations of this wheat will be available on a day to day basis after the 1969 har vest. Steps to be followed in a matching fund project that will make this possible were ex plained by Dale Stuart, market ing specialist with the Agricul tural Development Division of the Oregon Department of Ag riculture at the May 14-15 meet ng of the Tri-States Wheat Com missions in Boise. The project is participated in by the states of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, the wheat in dustry of those states and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Agricultural Development Division of the Department of Agriculture manages the proj ect and Stuart is the project leader. These states were joined at the meeting bv Montana and the wheat marketing programs of all four states were studied in connection with the plans for the project. Through the project the Pacif ic Northwest's wheat quality will be reviewed in detail and records kept on the inventory available. The need for this was emphasized in late 1968 when there was a question of quality in export wheat and it was found the inventory of the Pa cific Northwest area's wheat crop was inadequate. Stuart said that since a great maloritv of the wheat from Ore gon, Washington and Idaho moves through Portland and Seattle to export it is imperative that not only amounts but the locations of exportable wheat be known on a day to day basis. All segments of the wheat in dustry (producers, up-country elevators, river terminals, feed and grain dealers, millers, ex porters and departments of ag riculture) are cooperating to make this information available on a daily basis. Modern tech nology will be put to work on the program, with a computer used to keep the information current and available on a worldwide basis. The Oregon Department of Agriculture's Grain Division lab oratory is to analyze the wheat samples for grade factors, pro tein and amylase quantity. The latter affects the baking quality f finnr th lower the amylase is the better the flour is for such items as noodles. The U. S. Department of Ag riculture is doing the segregat ing of grade certificates from the approximately 150 grain ele vators cooperating on the proj ect and the "Grain Market News" will publish test results of the analyses weekly. i Morrow County CROP-WEATHER SUMMARY (For th wwk ending Mar 23) Soil moisture supply l hort Winter barley beaded and some winter wheat Crop showing lack of moUture in part of county.
