IRVIN MANN SPEAKS OPTIMISTICALLY FOR OREGON'S Irvin Mann,- Director of Agriculture for Oregon had something of a cheerful note for farmers as he spoke of export possibilities of agricultural pro ducts at the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday. He said it wasn't the Russian wheat sale that caused the grain shortage but a whole new economic ball game. The situa tion was there "we just didn't recognize it". All of a sudden there's a whole world to feed not just a half. All of a sudden there's a world protein shortage and money to buy it. The midwest farmers find it unbe lieveable that soy beans are selling for $7.99 a bushel over twice what it was selling a year ago. "Affluence and not "infla tion skyrocketed the price", Irvin said. In talking about the meat boycott, he said that farmers need encouragement to grow more. And they are. Feed lots report there is not an abnormal number of females going into Extension Homemakers Plan Mini-College Plans for sponsoring a mini college for women at Oregon Stale University in the summer of 1974 were approved by the Oregon Extension Homemakers Council at its annual meeting on the OSU campus last week (May 1-3). In a poll of the more than 600 women attending the home- makers' conference, a strong majority favored the concept of a three - or four-day college offering in-depth studies of one or more topics. Creative writ ing, art, consumerism, taxa tion, family life, housing and family finance were among suggested short course subjects that might be selected by participants. The idea of offering short courses for intensive study is a major change from traditional meet ings of the Council , accord ing to Mrs. Robert Sorber of Portland, OEHC community relations committee chairman. While a variety of topics related to family living and community life have been the focus of visiting speakers and OSU faculty at previous annual meetings, exposure to individ ual issues and topics was necessarily brief. Programs featured one-hour daytime ses sions on selected subjects and speakers on general topics at evening dinner meetings. The Oregon Extension Home makers Council is an outgrowth of a family living conference held at then-Oregon State Col lege in 1931. The college's home economics teaching and exten sion staff conducted the confer ence, later called the Conf,r ence for the Study of Home Interest. Mrs. Sorber says final ar rangements for the mini-college will be developed by the Council board in collaboration with OSU home economics extension staff members in November. While the Council w ill be the sponsor, she emphasized, the college type conference will be open to all women of the state.

The students visited the post office where Postmaster LaVelle Part low showed them how the mail came in, how it was sorted and dispatched, and answered various questions about the postal service. The students feed lots and that indicates the farmer is going to keep right on raising cattle. . Irvin told about a recent organization of a Pacific North west International Trade Coun cil to encourage world trade in Pacific Northwest products.

A carload of apples shipped to Taiwan sold for $1.25 per apple but due to the lack of refrigera tion about half of them spoiled before I hey could be consumed.

Students Find Wounded Bird A wounded Curlew was found in the Willard Miller asparagus fields by students who came to cut asparagus after school. In Russia A Trade mission went to Russia in January to determine if a Trade Fair could be meaningful. Irvin said he spent 10 days in Moscow. Greater Russia is one of 15 Republics making up the huge USSR. It is an enormous country and they don't look up to bigness. They are the biggest. Their Trade Unions deal in commodities muck like they do in capitalistic countries. There's two kinds of farming. Farm Coops have a goal. Up to Ihis amount they sell at the slate price but any excess they can sell through the public market for a better price. Farmers who have postage siamp plots may sell theirs also on the public markets. The State farms sell every thing they raise at state stores. Governor McCall will head a trade mission going to Russia next October. They will have wiih them manufacturers of heavy equipment and technical people in trade processes such as the freeze-dry production.

They feed upon worms, beetles, grasshoppers and crayfish. He is a shore bird of the Snipe AGRICULTURE process for a vodka right. Wheat Shipment April 1973 saw the 2nd largest month for wheat shipment out of Portland. A total of 391.133,000 tons were shipped. This was second to Dec. 1971 right after the dock strike was settled. Most of this was going lo Japan, Korea, India and Taiwan and Pakistan and was soft white wheat. None went to Russia because they want red hard wheat. Forseeing the shortage of wheat. Irvin and Governor McCall both asked Secretary of Agriculture Butz to lift the restrict ions on wheat before fall planting time in Oregon. This was finally done but too late for Oregon to share in this expand ed agricultural production. The United States is out of govern ment reserves. There will be 43 million new wheat acres this year due to the restrictions on wheal planting being lifted. In closing Irvin Mann said "Agriculture faces a demand ing and decisive period. How we respond determines the role we will have in the One World". Play Area J l f Marvin Gerking sharpens preparing to work on the Jay - J Mi TAW T-, V - I" .vw r.PPNF.R (ORE.)
