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. :

got 65 bu. of wheat and a yield
of 5 bu. of wheat in the same
field. He is about half through
harvest. He is running three ma

first gear because It is that kind
of wheat. They are cutting only
about 80 acres a day.
He has just finished cutting
his 3rd and best cutting so far

weather that brought it on. He
has 160 acres of alfalfa which
he will sell and keep some to
feed out his 80 head of register

hoping that bean harvest won't
start until after Morrow County

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.

four bales produced that current
year in Morrow County.

vice will be the official testing
laboratory. Each grower will re
ceive a copy of the analysis.
