County Harvest
Nears Completion
Wheat harvest is going into
the final round here in Morrow
County with about 80 complet
ed. Most of the grain yet to be
. cut is on the higher level.
County wide the yield is about
the same as last year. Average
yield according to the Morrow
County Grain Growers is 28-30
bushels. This is excluding the
Irrigated wheat Some of this is
said to be 100-plus bushels per
acre.
The late frosts and that cold
April are believed to hurt what
otherwise would have been
bumper crop. The quality of
both the wheat and barley are
better this year. Test weight is
running about 64 pounds per
Dusnei.
There s no grain on the
ground in Morrow County.
Ranch storage and elevators will
hold the entire crop. Morrow
County Grain Growers can store
over 3 million bushels. They
have 9 elevators and 7 stations.
All are operating except McNab
which to practically filled. They
whipped some wheat from Mc
Nab during harvest.
The Long Shoreman strike is
hurting Morrow County, in that
we're losing foreign sales. Sev
eral million bushels that ordin
arily come off the west coast
have been purchased elsewhere,
from the east coast or gulf coast.
In talking about the strike
Riley Munkers at the Morrow
County Grain Growers said the
contracts of the east coast and
gulf coast longshoremen were to
expire Sept. 30.

Wolffs Vocation At the Beach
Tommv Wolff in recounting
thPir vacation on the - beach
said he liked it better than their
last summer's vacation in can
ada but not better than their
first vacation In Canada when
they explored northern Vancou
ver Island.
Thev had a cabin for two
weeks 2Vt miles north of Yach
ats and about 50 yards from
the beach which they could see
from their cabin. They did lots
of surf fishing from the rocks.
They found the sea perch were
running best just at high tide.
Dr. Wolff proved to be the best
fisherman. They did some clam
ming but not much. Dr. Wolff
added some new shells to his
collection which he started
when he was stationed in the
West Indies.
The family did some inland

Don Peters and Pat Merrick,
two personable young students
at the Oregon Medical School
who are in the Preceptorship
program in Pendleton were
guest speakers at the Heppner
Soroptimist Club Thursday noon
at the Wagon Wheel.
Pat Merrick explained their
program which was a combin
ation of Preceptorship and Ex
tcrnship. St. Anthony Hospital
provided them with board and
room and $300 a month. They
assisted or observed in surgery
each morning, then helped out
in the wards the balance of the
morning. One or the other is on
emergency call nights and
weekends.
A physician in Pendleton
sponsors them in the Preceptor
ship program. They work the
afternoons in a doctor's office,
a different one each week.
John Day Hospital has a
medical student in the Precept
orship program. They noted that
most of the married students
took Preceptorship closer to
Portland as their wives were us
ually working.
Ilene Wyman, Pioneer Memor
ial Hospital administrator, was
a guest at the meeting. She
told the boys she knew of the
program but hadn't realized
that a hospital as small as ours
could participate in the pro
gram. Don Peters gave some insights
as to what a young doctor might
be looking for following gradua
tion. He said even though as
a student they might have
come from a small town by the
time they have completed their
college and medical school and
also his wife. If the wives aren't
satisfied, pretty soon the pres
sure is on to move.
He said it would be easier to
get a doctor to come where
there was already a doctor.
There's no leisure time, if there
is only one doctor.
He suggested that the com
munity could guarantee a loan
intern, they had spent 9 years ,to ,' tn a stll,w

Have You Tried the
Wheat League Cake?
Everyone tells me the Oregon
Wheat Growers 1971 Official
Cake recipe is the best yet! We
have some wonderful cooks in
this county and last year's win
ner at county fair was second
place winner in the state con
test we were very proud of
Mrs. Catherine Lindstrom and
would like to see a Morrow
County winner take first place
tnis year at State let's vie for
the honor. The rectoe can be
found on page 35 of this year's
lair premium book with offic
ial rules on page 34. We would
also like to see entries from the
many lots of Foods on page 33
or the premium book. Several
of you have taken the cake dec
orating lessons come on, let's
see your work of art. Your su
perintendents in this division
are Mrs. George Currln and Mrs.
Darrel Vinson. Please call them
if you have questions.
In exchange for this, the stu
dent would agree to practice in
the community for two years
following graduation.
He mentioned the Preceptor
ship and Externship program
they were involved in this sum
mer. There has been a sugges
tion that young doctors might
fulfill their military obligation
by working in smaller commu
nities for that time.
He mentioned John Days' four
new doctors and how they got
them. (Providing a clinic was
one inducement). He suggested
advertising in student publica
tions. He said that Dr. Laurel
Case, head of Family Practice
at the Medical School is stress
ing General Practices. This
comes after a long period of
time when emphasis was on
specialization.
Following their talk, they
went for a tour of Pioneer
Memorial Hospital before re
turning to Pendleton.
