10 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, July 29, 1971 New Club Wheat Makes Appearance In Morrow County A now soft white club wheat named PAHA has been grown for certification by seven Mor row County wheatgrowers, re ports Harold Korr. The growers have been rogue- ing their fields all spring in or der to meet the certification standards required by the OSU fortification department. The growers who are growing Paha wheat for sale are Jack Sumner, Don Evans, Louis Carl-i son, Garry Tullis, Roland Bergs trom, Lloyd Howton and Oren Brace. The above growers purchased Foundation Seed and will be of fering for sale Registered or Cer tified depending on the purity of their fields. Approximately 4,500 bushels of Paha will be available for seed. Paha is a Washington State University release, a white club with stripe rust resistance. It has semi -dwarf characteristics being 6 inches shorter than Moro. It gets its club head from Omar and disease resistance from Su wan 92, its other parent Paha has some disease resist ance, a somewhat shorter straw, and its shatter resistance is slightly greater than Moro. Test weight data indicates slightly greater weight per bushel than Moro. The biggest advantage, how ever, Is that it has greater yield potential than Moro. Yield data from nurseries throughout the state show yield advantages ov er Moro from 3.5 bushels to 15 bushels. "I expect Paha will re place Moro where Moro Is com monly grown." Growers should contact Paha growers early to make requests for seed. Seed wheat should be treated with HCB, 2 oz. per bushel to give protection against Flag Smut. : Lt "I' ., V , iter- VA' w "i" I 1 i 1 I 1 : A u SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED.

He is about half through harvest. He is running three ma chines and going real slow in first gear because It is that kind of wheat. They are cutting only about 80 acres a day.

He has 160 acres of alfalfa which he will sell and keep some to feed out his 80 head of register ed Angus. He expects to make his 4th cutting around Sept. 1. The beans look real good.

Mv special thanks to my family, the nurses and the staff at Pioneer Memorial Hospital for their comforting care. Effie Munkers be wheeled off on a new high adventure. The rest of the crowd, young and old kids alike, join ed the lucky few high riding youngsters and wondered how the heck that guy could get on that seven foot high "one wheel ed thing", let alone stay w-a-y u-p t-h-er-e. When Mark switched from the low wheel (three feet high) to the really high wheel some one handed him a banjo and he "won the crowd" as he wheeled his way through ' the Main Street Sidewalk Bazaar singing, strumming and filling everyones head with the lyrics "People came from miles around to shop in good ole Heppner town". Mark, summer minister at the Christian Church in Heppner, is from Concord, Calif., and a stu dent at San Jose Bible College. Shoppers to the market place their relief from the heat in ice cold sno-cones and cold drinks, while they were satisfying theh appetites with hot corn-on-the-cob, meaty tacos, baked foods and cotton candy. The carnival atmosphere pro vided fun for everyone and bar gain hunters enjoyed the low prices the summer market place provided.
