Afternoon sessions at both stations will feature a tour of facilities, plus a look at current research being conducted. GROUND SQUIRREL AND GOPHER CONTROL With drier conditions prevailing this year, an earlier attempt at controlling gopher and ground squirrels should be made. Both male and female squirrels have come out of hibernation in several areas of the county. Many of the females who have been examined are carrying young at this time. Generally this condition would not be found until mid-April or early May. Gopher control can be done at almost any time the ground conditions are good. The toxicant, 1080, is still available, as well as strychnine. 1080 is available only through a specially licensed pest control operator. You may want to pre-bait some areas before doing a complete control job in order to determine if the squirrels will be receptive to the bait. Generally about 2 pounds per acre of the 1080 and oats is sufficient for gopher control. For more information concerning rodent control, contact the Extension office. Spring sewing should prove easier and everyone who attended the recent "Sew Fair" should be right in step with the latest fashion, according to Birdine Tullis, Extension Service. The event attracted a large number of women in both Morrow and Umatilla counties, where similar programs were presented. Designed to provide information for all in Morrow County from beginning to advanced sewing, classes included darts, hems, seams, by Cece Slocum, Hermiston; pressing, grading and notching techniques, Veda Peck and Ruth Finch, Pendleton; collars, sleeves, crotches, Jeanne Howell, Heppner; patterns, by Ellen Lewis, Pilot Rock; contemporary tailoring, Ruth McCabe, lone; fusables, by Kathy Jamieson, Condon; and T-shirt techniques, by Birdine Tullis. In addition, all attending received spring fashion highlights from Kathy Jamieson, and an informative session on sewing machine maintenance. On hand to answer questions relating to all sewing machine problems were two representatives of the Viking Company, courtesy of Case Furniture, Heppner. The concept of a one day session, providing a wide variety of topics, proved very popular to the busy women of Morrow County. Each class was repeated a number of times, allowing the women to choose a variety of classes throughout the day. The instructors were really great, Birdine reports; they are all skilled in sewing techniques, and so willing to share their knowledge, plus it is always fun when sixty women with common interests get together! A number of informative handouts from the sessions are on hand in the Extension office, available to those who missed the "Sew Fair." We think 4-H is such a great program, and are so closely involved with it every day, that once in a while we have to remind ourselves that there could possibly be people in our county that do not know all that much about 4-H, or what it has to offer, Birdine Tullis said. So we ask, "Are you aware? THAT... ...4-H is a learning by doing program, open to all young people fourth grade through twelfth grade? That there is a project area for almost any interest a young person might have, including rockets, tole painting, sewing, cooking, macrame, livestock, gardening, pigeons, flowers, and every conceivable interest inbetween ! ...leadership for 4-H clubs and devoted, dedicated volunteers see often in our county? ...4-H leaders are people with kind hearts who spend unlimited time helping young better"? ...there is still time for your member of the 4-H program this ...people willing to work with in this county to help with the program in a leadership role? ...that if you want more information about 4-H, you can call Mike or Birdine, 676-9642, and they'll be right out to look you up!
