nate to have the support of
local business people and
other interested individuals!
Each year as we prepare the
4-H portion of the county fair
premium book, we contact
those who have previously
provided special awards for
all 4-H fair events. Letters
were mailed recently to all
such sponsors, requesting a
reply by Feb. 20 if they wished
to change their award, or
provide additional recognition
to members.
This is also the time that
anyone interested in providing
additional awards for any
specific event or activity at
county fair should contact us,
so that they may be listed for
the information of members
and leaders. This is also a
good time for a great big 4-H
thank you to all the loyal
people who provide the "frost
ing on the cake". ...that extra
special award that means so
much to a young person who
has labored to achieve!
Poster Contest

members a chance to visually
tell what they feel about their
4-H program and opportuni
ties offered through 4-H. All
4-H members may partici
pate, using any medium to

following either the theme of

relatively new. which offers challenges for older 4-H
members, and about one member who has accepted the

EXPLANATION OF BALLOT QUESTION: Funds for construction, maintenance,
replacement and repair of county roads and related services and equipment come
primarily from U.S. Forest Service payments, state vehicle license fees, and the road
serial levy. Morrow County has had a road serial levy since 1948. The most recent
five-year serial levy expires June 30. 1978. This proposed serial levy is estimated to
provide 32.8 per cent of the total resources available for county roads in the three year
(3) period from July 1. 1978 to June 30. 1981. It would result in a tax of 56" -c per thousand
of valuation in fiscal year 1978-79, and a lesser amount in each of the following two (2)
years. -
QUESTION: Shall Morrow County be authorized to levy and collect taxes serially,
outside the limitation imposed by Section 11, Article XI, Oregon constitu
tion, over a period of three (3) years, in the amount of $195,000 annually,
commencing July 1. 1978, and ending June 30, 1981, these said funds to be
used to finance the costs of county road-related services, projects, pro
perties and equipment, and repair, improvements, maintenance and re
placement thereof.

ducers a three-year loan
period and storage payments,
at $.25 per bushel for wheat
and barley; $.19 per bushel for
oats, paid annually in ad

agree to hold their grain off
the market at least until the
price reaches the minimum
release level or the contract
expires," Ms. Buschke said.
"But, they will be allowed to
rotate commodities and sub
stitute stocks to protect and

According to ASCS, the
