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

How Is the water situation on
vnnr farm is there water ior
fire fighting? , ,
n Knmn thinking and check
ing before harvest on how well

Agent Harold Kerr.
"No water available or in-
nHonllfP watpr sunnlv" is all
too often the significant phrase
on the reports of farm fire loss
es recorded by the National Fire
rotection Association," ne saia.
Rural fire protection autnon-
ies recommend that at least
anon pallons of water be im
mediately available on every
farm for fire fighting purposes
useable all seasons and al
ways kept clean".
To make the beat possible use

on your farm Harold Kerr sug
gests this checkup:
Have you notified your fam
ily and employees of the loca
tion of all water supplies
around vour farm wells,
springs, brooks, ponds, stock
tanks and cisterns.'
How about your weed spray
ing tank?
Are approaches to the sup-
nlips uoll marked and solid
enough so that fire pumpers can
get close enougn to araw water
without getting mired?
If the water supply Is a pond,
stream or drainage ditch, have
you set up a stone-lined water
hold or concrete cistern, to re
duce the chance of the suction
hose fouling?
"Yes" answers to all these
questions mean you score well
on water for fire safety. On any
"No answers, you n De smart
to get busy, advises Harold
Kerr, County Agent.
Fire prevention is the topic of
a meeting set for Monday, June
2, at 8:00 p.m. at the confer
ence room in the County Exten
sion Office, announced Harold
Kprr fnnntv Fvtpnsinn Acent.

tions they can take to protect
