Boats take top billing in the event commonly known as "the Boat Show" but the recreational interests of hunters and fishermen, campers, trailer vacationers, golfers and water skiers are also fully represented. A full scale golfing exhibit and demonstration, manned by members of the Oregon Professional Golfers Associ ation, will be new for the show this year. The fun of fishing will be ? stressed in the exhibit of the Oregon Wildlife Department. For the first time it will include a casting pool where practical casting will be demonstrated and show visi tors given a chance to get corrective instruction on cast ing form. BOARDMAN Boeing Co.

In the first quarter of the Condon Ramc, the JVs battled to tuke the lead from the defenders. At the end of the first quarter the score was 14 all. Then the Mustangs started playing good defense and held a 3 point lead at the half. The third quarter was cold for both teams. Heppner managed only 6 points to Condon's 5. It was the next quarter that the mighty JVs showed their shooting ability, sinking 22 points to Condon's 9. PeWayne McLain led the Heppner scoring with 16 points, followed by Wade Padlierg 13, Jerry Gentry 10, Mike Mills 9, Paul Van Marter 8 and Pave McLachlan 6. McLain was top rebounder for Heppner with 10. opens The 2"0-plus boats start with canoes and inflatable rubber dinghies and go all the w ay to 40-foot ocean-going cruisers. The Coliseum concourse around the arena entrances will be completely lined with sailboats, increasing annually in popularity on the Willam ette. Columbia and recreation lakes. ' For travelers the show presents the Coliseum's Con vention Hall full of vacation trailers and other recreational vehicles plus travel exhibits from many Northwest and Canadian resorts. The Cana dian Government Travel Bureau of Ottowa is a first time exhibitor in the show. A chance to observe live river otters at play in a special exhibit and to try panning for gold dust in the fashion of Yukon fortune hunters of years gone by are among special features prepared this year. Show hours are 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily except for 7 p.m. closing on Sundays.

The practice uses extremely small amounts of water ap plied through emitters at tached to flexible tubing laid along the soil surface. The soil is slowly soaked in a small area around each emitter. Emitter placement and a mnunts of water applied are critical to success of such a system. Oregon State Univer sity researchers are develop ing design and management information to make drip irrigation work in Oregon agriculture, Peveloped in Israel, drip irrigation has been a part of commercial agriculture in the United States for only about the last five years. It was introduced to Oregon at the Mid-Columbia Agricultural Experiment Station in Hood River two years ago. Last year, research with the new concept was initiated at the Southern Oregon Experi ment Station in Medford and at North Willamette Experi ment Station in Aurora. A few Oregon growers, mostly orchardist, also have ventured into drip irrigation, but OSU Extension agricul tural engineer Marvin Shear er estimates thai it is being used on only about 150 acres so far. In California, drip irrigation has caught on more quickly. Prompted by labor problems and expensive water, some 40.000 acres of almonds, grapes, avocados and other high value crops have been adapted to drip irrigation within the last four years, said Shearer, who is working with the superintendents of the three OSU agricultural ex periments stations to evaluate drip irrigation under Oregon conditions. In spite of the potential, several problems need to be resolved before drip irrigation can be used economically in Have a Oregon. One of the most important is working out water requirements for crops based on the low volume flow and precise water quantity control offered by drip irriga tion. Adequate filtering of the water supply also is critical to prevent plugging of the system. On the positive side, drip irrigation systems involve little labor investment once they are in and working properly. There are no mud or soil compaction problems from use of equipment be cause the soil is wet only in a small area. Because of the low volume involved, water can be applied to soils with slow intake rates and to steep slopes with little worry about runoff or erosion. Less water is used and less water pressure is needed. And drip irrigation systems are less expensive to operate than sprinkler irrigation systems. At the Mid-Columbia Ex periment Station, drip irriga tion is being compared to sprinkler irrigation on the performance of established blocks of mature Bartlett and P'Anjou pears. Several drip emitter designed also are being tested. Bartlett and Bosc pear tree response to drip irrigation compared to furrow irrigation is being checked at the Southern Oregon Experiment Station. At the North Willamette Experiment Station, drip irri gation compared to furrow irrigaton is being checked at the Southern Oregon Experi ment Station. At the North Willamette Experiment Station, drip irri gation was installed primarily to see if it would reduce mold on Oregon Evergreen black berries. A low incidence of mold in all test plots during the 1973 season prevented such comparison but water use, yield and fruit size were measured. Overall, crop response to drip irrigation has not been as good as with conventional irrigation systems, the ex Home game Jan. 11 Riverside vs. Sfanfieid Varsity game Varsity coach-Gail Enright JV coach-Mike Wetherell successful Hick's Market Inland Chemical Co.

The problem has been attributed primarily to not getting enough water to the roots due to lack of previous experience on which to base water application rates, said Shearer, The one exception was at the Southern Oregon Experiment Station where preliminary observations Indicate a slight ly greater average growth rale of fruit on trees watered by drip irrigation.

For the general deer season the staff will recommend Sept. 28 and the same date will be suggested for the opening of the chukar and Hungarian partridge seasons. Opening date proposed for Rocky Mountain elk is Oct. 26 and for Roosevelt elk, Nov. 16. The opening date for pheasants would be Oct. 19. Aug. 17 is the proposed opening date for the antelope season and Aug. 24 for the early archery seasons. These dates are comparable to 1973 with the exception of the deer season.

Moisture levels will not be constant throughout the root zone and a system scheduling the amount of water needed for best plant performance is critical to the success of drip irrigation," said Shearer. He added that it will probably take three to five years of research to obtain some of the information nec essary for optimum manage ment of drip irrigation. pressure if the season is not extended to late into the rutting period. Advancing the opening to the traditional weekend nearest the first of' October would provide more hunting opportunity before the vulnerable breeding and mi gration period commences. While a later date would be desirable in Western Oregon, some compromise is neces sary to provide a uniform opening. No other substantive changes are proposed, with most suggested opening dates similar to the 1973 seasons except for adjustments to begin the seasons on week ends. Staff and public recom mendations will be considered at a public hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. on Jan. 11 at the commission's Portland head quarters, 1634 SW Alder. - Custom Upholstery m to wow More wafer set for lone The city of lone plans to spend $30,000 to 135,000 to install approximately 900 feet of water main to their pump and present reservoir, According to Steve Ander son, recently hired by the City of lone to prepare the design plans.
