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. Class o f

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. One of the first decisions they must make is
how large to build the reservoir. In order to do this they
must know how much space will be needed for irrigation.
The irrigation space will be determined by the extent land
owners desire to participate.
A letter has been sent by the Bureau of Reclamation to
all landowners with water rights on the creek to explain water
supply studies, operation and maintenance costs of the project
and that cost for water would be $3.60 per acre foot deli
vered to diversion point.
