TWELVE The Gazette-Times, Extension Tour Successful If you haven't been out to look at your county, this is a great year to do it. It has been many years since rangeland and crops looked so beautiful, offering the potential for a bountiful harvest. In addition, there are exciting develop ments in all areas of the county to be viewed. Last week 35 men and women toured developments in north Morrow, including the Carty coal fired plant now under construction. They viewed the reservoir there which is about two-thirds full at present; visited the Gour met potato industry where they saw french fries being produced by the tons; other industries and business in the Port of Morrow; stopped at Simtag Farms to hear about the irrigated wheat and potato crops, as well as viewing housing and agricultural de velopments from the bus. Host for the morning tour was Rupert Kennedy, mana ger Port of Morrow, who shared insights on progress of various developments in the port, as well as the growing town of Boardman. Bus Clough, PGE public relations director, joined the tour group at noon to share a progress report on the Carty site. The main plant structure has risen to thirty two stories in height since our last tour there, and the smoke stack, which will be twice that high, is under construction, as well as the steelwork which will handle the coal. Since our last tour, the railroad for bringing the coal in has also been completed.
