Heavy grain exports brighten outlook, economy A market favorable to Pa cific Northwest grain pro ducer li in prospect for the next six months thanks tc heavy exports which have cut carryover stocks below ear lier expectations, says S.C. Marks. Oreson State Univer sity extension agricultural e conomlst. Marks makes his comments in the spring Oregon Farm and Market Outlook circular published by the OSU Exten sion Service and available at County Extension Offices. Exports in April, May and June cut sharply Into the po tential carryover of white heat. Indications are no the carryover ill be about 17 million bushels, well above last year, but less than ex pected earlier this year. This means that the stor age situation for the slightly larger 1972 harvest which is Indicated for the Pacific Nor thwest has improved, Marks notes. The Northwest winter wheat crop was estimated at 190 million bushels the first of June, up seven percent from 1971 production. Spring wheat seedlngs are down sharply from last year. It Is expec ted that Spring wheat produc tion will be reduced about 36 per cent to around 16.8 mil lion bushels. The total wheat production in the three Northwest states could amout to 206 million bushels, just slightly more than the 1971 all-wheat crop. However, weather and poss ible shifts in acreage will influence the final total, Marks notes. World wheat supply pros pects are of particular in terest to Northwest grors this year because of potential export trade with the Soviet Union and China, the econo mist adds. Western Europe has pros pects for a large crop this year. India expects to top last year's record produc tion, while Canada has ex panded wheat acreage for har vest this year. Australia ex pects a larger carryover, a bout 496 million bushels this year, although down from 1969 and 1970. Argentina lo oks for some carryover in crease.

Chalk Up One The first week response for the Heppner Centennial Volunteer Band was tremen dous, one lady agreed to play though she hasn't played for almost twenty years. So now there is a director and one E-flat horn. Would anybody like to play a drum? I've been around a little this week to find out that lone has hired a band direc tor, but she won't be here until a few days before the parade. Heppner schools have no band director yet, at least -there was none on June 28th. Therefore the bands for the pareade will not just suddenly appear be cause of the efforts of a band director. There are no teachers here to round them up. But the question of a band still remains. If you are interested, please express it, maybe even per suade someone to participate, in fact some effort in that direction will really be ap preciated. We should have about thirty-five to forty peo ple to have a good solid sound. There are probably thirty five to forty very reluctant but good musicians around here. It comes down to each person making a choice whet her or not to do it, and you don't have to be a virtuoso. Please join the band.

How Much Water to Store Behind Willow Creek Dam Is Corps Next Question! Representatives of the Water Resource Board, the Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers met with the Morrow County Court Wednesday afternoon to discuss project inves tigations related to the proposed Willow Creek Dam. The Corps of Engineers has been instructed to go ahead -wlth their final design memorandum. When this stage of their study is complete, they will be ready to begin con struction.
