New A G Finance Bill May Bring Cattle Feeding Boom
Present Wheat Law to Stay on hooks
A bill generating long-term
agricultural development fi
nancing ia being written (or the
1973 legiHlature.
Irvln Mann, Jr.. Oregon
direc tor of agriculture, said thin
week a bonding bill that will
spur development in rural areai
is being drawn up by nil
department and will be pre
sented to the Senate Tank Force
lor Rural Development for
sponsorship, or Hep. Stafford
HanHell, H-Hermiston.
Mr. Mann, an a Stanfield
legislator, sponsored in the 1971
session a water bank bill which
had the state guaranteeing
irrigation project. The Oregon
voters in the May primary
turned the measure down.
Mr. Mann said the new
proposal would merely require
a legislative vote.
"We haven't gotten that far
on the amount that would be
availuble," he said.
While the water bank pro
posal was restricted to irriga
tion projects, the new bill would
include agricultural-industrial
development such as slaughter
houses, feed mills and food
processing plants.
"It will depend on the areas
and the needs of the people,"
Mann said.
The Senate Task Force will
get first crack at sponsorship,
he said. The task force this
summer visited low population
areas of oregon seeking ideas on
getting industry to locate away
from thp Willamette Vallev.
One of the problems rural
areas have in attractive In
dustry la the availability of
longterm, low-interest, financ
ing, local leaders in llcrmiston
told the senators.
"Tins is a new concept In the
western United States." Mann
said. This has len generally
used in places like Illinois and
New York."
Mann's department foresees
a boom in rattle feeding if
financing and food resources
can be economically feasible.
"We have a feed pattern thai
has an inherent shortage," he
said. "The state produces
enough wheat and barley, but
no sorghum which is raised
through irrigation.'
The Oregon Department of
Agriculture has been surveying
the future of increased fecdlot
operations. Half of Oregon's
weaner calves at 350 to 400
pounds are sold to out-of-state
feeders where they are fattened
to 1,000 pounds, butchered and
sold in Oregon meat markets.
There were 157.0IKI animals on
feed in 1971 in Oregon, the
department reported.
The bonds being proposed
under the new legislation would
be "moral obligation" instead
of general obligation or reve
nue, Mann said.
The bonds would be tied to the
revenue producing power of the
state which would eliminate the
argument against the water bill
which critics said placed the
state's credit rating on a par
with farming projects.
"The governor, i Deneve,
would anixiint a committee to
administer the financing pro
gram." Mr. Mann said. "They
would probably include the
Slate Engineer, Department of
Veteran's Affairs as well as
others versed in development
projects and financing."
Uans, up to 20 years, would
he on "solid qualification," Mr.
Mann said.
Sheepmen Open
Meet Today
The Oregon Sheep growers
Association will stage its 1972
convention Thursday through
Saturday at the Imperial Hotel.
Thursday's agenda is devoted
primarily to registration and
committee meetings with a
general business session at 4
p.m. The Friday program
includes a talk on "Agriculture
on the Move," by Charles W.
Marike, livestock and traffic
agent for Union Paciffic Rail
road; a discussion of Oregon
State University programs by
Dr. James Oldfield, chairman
of the OSU Animal Science
Department, and Dr. EE.
Wedman, chairman of the OSU
Veterinary Department, and an
address by Phil Farrell, presi
dent of the Oregon Sheep
Advisory Council.
When the directions say it's so
simple that a child can do it, be
smart and let a child do it.
Th Droifnn tt'hpat Orowers
league was told Monday that
federal farm legislation to be
enacted in 1973 will probably be
very similar to that now
prevailing.
Laurel Meade, general sales
manager in the Export market
ing Service of the U.S.Dcpart
ment of Agriculture, speaking
at the opening session of the
wheat growers convention at
the Sheraton Motor Inn, said all
signs point to a recommenda
tion by the administration for a
program following the basic
principles of the existing pro
gram. Bel the farmers will have to
rally round because it gets more
and more difficult to get
agricultural legislation through
an urban Congress," he
warned.
President Richard Nixon is
firmly committed to a ceiling of
$250 billion on federal spending,
he pointed out. and the result
could be a real crunch on farm
programs.
"It means we must find
markets for farm produce,"
he stated. "It means we will
have to get income from the
markets rather than from the
U.S.Treasury.
THIS FIRM CEILING,
he said, is a factor in the
administration's commitment
to expansion of agricultural
exports and there is little
danger that exports next year
will slip back far from this
year's volume.
Meade had nothing but praise
for the recent sales ot
U.S. wheat to Russia. He
Fr. Clifford Moynihan will
conduct services at All Saints
Episcopal Church next Sunday
at 7:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Fr. Moynihan is a retired
priest of the Oregon Diocese.
Prior to taking Holy Orders he
practiced law in Oregon. He is
Mrs. Ned Clark's grandfather
and he and his wife will be
staying with the Clarks while in
Heppner.

declared that "There is not one
iota of evidence supporting the
reports of scandals and shady
transactions that appear in the
newspapers and on radio and
television. About 99.9 percent of
the publicity on the sales told a
story different from the actual
situation.
"I take real pride in what I
consider a job well done.
Nothing the department has
done in recent years has done
more for the farmer, the
taxpayer and international
relationships."

8th Grade Studies
Solar System
Last Thursday the eighth
graders at Heppner climaxed
their recent astronomy studies
by making a scale model of the
solar system.
The purpose of the model was
to show size and distance
relationships. The students
worked out the entire model
with an inch being equal to
25,000 miles. This gave our
earth a diameter of less then
one third inch and sun's
diameter 34.6 inches.
Each of the classes made its
own model. The models started
at the goal posts of the football
field and the planets were
placed according to scale from
the sun. Pluto is the farthest
planet from the sun and ended
up 2.1 miles from the sun and
was placed up Hinton Creek
across from the Dallas Craber
home. The other class went
west from their sun and ended
up with their Pluto 2.1 miles
away which placed their planet
in a rock jack back of the High
School.
The tiny speck which repre
sented our moon was only a
little more then 9 inches away
from our earth.
Mrs. Dick Meador, their
Science teacher said, "Our field
trip was a short one, but it was
determined that had we placed
our next nearest star other than
the sun, we could have had an
extended field trip because we
would have had to travel over
21,000 miles."
"Yes I'm surprised. I was
expecting a car!"
