4-H Members Probide Judging
Team For Umatilla County
Umatilla County 4-H Club
members had the opportunity
to test their skills at judging
showmanship and horseman
ship when four top riders from
Morrow County traveled to the
fair in Hermiston and pro
vided the judging classes, to
repay the courtesy provided
them the prior week. Making
up a team were Lori Witt,
Denise Key, Irrigon, Krynn
Robinson, and Nancy Miller,
Heppner. Accompanying the
team and adding their support
to the effort were leaders Des
Witt and Merlyn Robinson.
Merlyn reports everything
was great, the girls enjoyed
the experience and didn't even
notice he temperatures soar
ing to about 104 degrees that
day.
Who Has The Clippers?
We've looked and looked
around the office for the 4-H
animal clippers. Some leader
or 4-H family borrowed them
in the past, and it would be a
great if they could come back
home to the extension office so
they could be available to all
4-H'ers or leaders who need
them.

Lots Of Help For Foofl
Preservation
There are bulletins on all
phases of food preservation
available at no cost at the
extension office. Food drying
has hit an all time high, with
many requests for informa
tion. For those who are just
beginners at drying fruits and
vegetables, there is a com
plete information on drying
both fruits and vegetables, as
well as making the popular
fruit leathers. Instructions are
also available free for making
your own food dryer. Foods
also dry well outside in our
hot, dry weather condition,
but should be protected from
insects and dust as they dry.
Extension information gives
all details about all ways to
dry. Birdine has samples of
fruits, fruit leathers, and dried
herbs, at the office if you'd
like to come by and visit about
food drying.
Bulletins are on hand to give
the latest information on
canning, making jams and
jellies, pickles, sausages, and
even lots of handy recipes and
information on using zucchini,
as well as freezing, and
preserving without salt or
sugar. Extension has the
answer for almost anything,
so give us a try.

Wheat purchase guidelines
set for 1976 crop
The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture (USDA)
is offering guidelines to wheat
producers concerning the use
of purchase agreements as a
marketing option, according
to David McLeod, Executive
Director of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conserva
tion Service (ASCS) office.
Under provisions of the
loan and purchase program,
producers who hold 1976-crop
wheat not under government
loan are eligible to sign a
purchase agreement with the
Commodity Credit Corpora
tion (CCC). A purchase
agreement signed now com
mits CCC to buy 1976-crop
wheat next March at the loan
rate established in the pro
ducers county. Under the
agreement, however, the pro
ducer may still sell the wheat
on the open market before the
March delivery date. Should
this occur, the producer need
only inform the ASCS office of
the sale and the purchase
agreement would be void.
