Speaker Lists Pluses for Wheat Men
Rich Pennell. guest speaker
at the annua! Morrow County
grain Growers dinner Monday
evening was a positive speak
er He gave the facts as he
knew them on the wheat sales
to Russia and the events that
led up to the sjle. He related
prospective demands for the
nations' wheat He interwove
his talk with humor and
personal observations Mr
Pennell is manager of re
gional sales for the North
Pacific Grain Growers Inc., of
Portland North Pacific is the
regional export marketing
arm of the Morrow County
Grain Growers
Wheat Production
Mr Pennel dispelled a
misconception that the I S is
the biggest wheat producer
The I nited States produces
a million and a half tons of
wheat on 4S million acres and
Russia ordinarily produces 3
billion tor on 175 million acres
The southern tip of Russia on
the Black Sea is no furthei
south than Minneapolis.
Minnesota Wheat is grown
north of that parallel under
hazardous conditions Last
winter they experienced ex
tremely low temperatures
with no snow cover. Seeding
spring wheat usually over
conies the short winter wheat
crop This summer they
experienced the greatest
drouth of all times
Here To Buy
The wheat team made three
trips to the I'nited States
They needed 5 million tons of
wheat The first time they
weren't able to arrange suit
able credit arrangements
Finally they went from one
wheat exporter to another
arranging to buy smaller
amounts of wheat Individual
exporters didn't know how
much the other ones had sold
When exporters began to
cover they discovered that the
Russians had bought ' of the
t'nited States wheat crop
Shipments began and wheat
went up Not a great deal went
out of the Northwest but the
market responded to the same
factors
Facts
One of the serious problems
in inflation is the deficit
balance of payments The
wheat going to Russia is paid
for in cash These wheat
shipments are cutting the size
of wheat reserves to the low est
they have been in 20 years.
Mr. Pennell paid tribute to
the American farmer. Fifty
million people in Russia and 5
million people in the United
States are producing wheat
The American farmer has
been given the chance to move
from a buyers to a sellers
market. The United States has

serves in the world
Mr Pennell inserted some
of his own philosophy on
selling wheat to the commu
nis! countries He said walls of
fear have not brought peace
that he preferred to build a
Bridge of Peace with food
This opening of trade with
Russia will go down in history
and will be written up in
history for students to read
about
The speaker sw itched to the
future and reminded his
audience that this Tuesday

but was an Election Day

The Horse
Our Heritage
Then and Today
"Horse Appreciation Week"
last month was a part of the
Oregon Horsemen's Associa
tion efforts to create public
awareness to the importance
of the horse industry in
Oregon's economy, environ
ment, development of youth,
recreation, and their intensive
effort to educate horsemen in
protection of the environment,
use of trails, and proper
management and care of
horses.
Extension service estimates
125.000 horses call Oregon
home. All 36 counties in
Oregon offer some 4H horse
program with 8.000 Juniors
enrolled. There are more than
35.000 horse owners and total
monies generated by the horse
industry exceed si30.000.0oo.
The horse is rated second only
to cattle in the livestock
industry, both in Oregon and
the nation.
A reality, due partly to the
efforts of the Oregon Horse
men's Assn., is the new
Equestrian Center at Oregon
State University, which was
dedicated at Oregon State
during "Horse Appreciation
Week".
Nothing explains the cur
rent status of the horse better
than a quote from writer John
Foss's article. "The Horse and
Environmental Quality". The
horse is woven inextricably
into American Life - Today as
well as a century ago. He
provides at least as important
a contribution to the environ
ment now as he did then,
though the nature of that
contribution has changed The
horse is an advantage to the
environment physically, a
stimulus to the environment
economically, a stabilizing
factor to the environment
sociologically, and as close to
a psychological necessity as
man has been able to discover.
For every dollar spent on a
horse, he has returned a
thousand-fold to our society
and our environment. It is
unreasonable to ask more of
any creature.
Alta Graybeal, a former
Irrigon resident, has moved
back to Irrigon from Walla
Walla, after the recent death
of her busband, Wm Graybeal.
He had been a patient in the

The Horse
Industry
in Oregon
Proceeds from many Horse
shows & Rodeos help several
worthwhile charities in the
state annually.
The horse is the leading
vehicle used for the proper
development of youth. The
horse is rated second only to
cattle in the livestock industry
both in Oregon and the nation.
According to conservative
estimates, well over half a
million dollars is paid in
gasoline taxes for hauling
horses, license fees for horse
trailers and trucks, and from
campers used for shows and
rodeo.
