State Wheat League wants
ban lifted on fungicide

Oregon wheal growers have
suffered an estimated $5
million loss due to "foot rot"
disease, according to John
Cuthbert, La Grande farmer
and president of the Oregon
Wheat Growers League.
"Foot rot causes the plant to
break off right at the soil
level", said Cuthbert, "and
this places the grain down at
the soil level often spoiling it
and making it difficult or
impossible to harvest."
A fungicide, called Benlate,
is available that will prevent
foot rot, he said. However, it
was not cleared by the
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) soon enough
last year to have an effect on
this year's crop, he said.
"Benlate is the only spray
that helps us with this
disease," said Cuthbert. "It is
not cleared for permanent use
on wheat, yet the EPA has
approved this same solution
for permanent registration
that allows a peach to be
dipped in the solution, dried,
and then the peach can go
directly into human consump
tion. If a person can eat this
peach, we don't understand
why this same solution can't
be sprayed on our wheat for
harvest several months la
ter." Oregon State University
scientists have been working
with foot rot problems for the
last several years. Robert L.
Powelson, OSU plant patholo
gist, reports that early seed
ing of wheat promotes foot rot.
Powelson has presented an
application to the EPA
through the Oregon Depart
ment of Agriculture for early
approval of the fungicide.
Powelson said that many
Oregon growers will want to'
seed early in order to give
better control to soil and water
erosion even though it in
creases the chance of losses to
foot rot.
One bright spot is that OSU
has developed a wheat vari
ety, Stephens, that is "mildly
resistant" to foot rot. Dr.
Warren Kronstad, OSU plant
breeder, said that his staff has
been working with the prob
lems of foot rot for several
years and that the Stephens
variety appears to weather
the disease much better than
others.
"We hope the EPA clears
Benlate before September 15"
said Cuthbert. "We have
received clearance for the last
three years. ..but we had to
travel to Washington, D.C. to
obtain the clearance and it has
been generally too late in the
spring for much effectiveness."
Contrary to dales printed on
posters and painted on win
dows the official dates for the
Morrow County Fair are
August 19 through 22. Exhibits
will begin arriving at 11 a.m.
on Friday Aug. 18. Exhibitors
have until 8 p.m. to enter their
exhibits. All livestock, poultry
and small animals and adult
open class fruit, vegetable and
flower exhibits will be accep
ted from 8 a.m. until noon on
Saturday.
Committee people have
been busy the past week
putting the grounds in shape
for the show. Birdine Tullis
and her 4-H Leaders have
turned the Annex into its usual
festive display to show off the
work of 4-H members. Phyllis
Piper, Marlene Gray and
Micky Mollahan have been
decorating the open class
section of the pavilion. Exten
sion Agents John Nordheim
and Harold Kerr, FFA Advi
sor Hal Whitaker and the Gary
Griebs along with many other
volunteers have set up the
livestock area of the fair
grounds.
Heppner High School's FFA
livestock judging team placed
first in advanced competition
and third in the beginners
category at the Umatilla
County Fair.
Members of the advanced
team, which topped a field of
eight, were Ken, Julie and
Geri Grieb, Krynn Robinson
and Marie Van Schoiack.
Making up the beginners team
were Ann Van Schoiack,
Nancy Miller and JoLyn Daly.
Last week, the HHS FFA
judging team members placed
third in competition at the
Wallowa County Fair in Enterprise.

As you read this it is hoped
that you are all set to really
enjoy the Morrow County Fair
and Rodeo. If you have studied
the official program you know
that your exhibits need to be
taken to the fair tomorrow. All
seniors have pass cards and
do not need to pay any admis
sion (Any over 62 who haven't
received their fair passes may
pick them up at the Neighbor
hood Center.)
On Saturday, August 19,
there will be a full day of
action. Seniors may especially
enjoy the horseshoe pitching,
the butchering service demon
stration and the tobacco
spitting contest. Everyone in
every family will enjoy the fun
night dinner and evening
show.
Sunday will bring more
horseshoe pitching, the pet
show, a sack sewing exhibi
tion, adult livestock showman
ship and the kid's coin hunt.
Monday evening the public
4-H Style Review is set for the
stage in front of the new
grandstand. The popular 4-H
and FFA livestock auction
comes Tuesday evening, and
the fair closes on Wednesday,
Aug. 23, making Thursday a
quiet day with no activities
scheduled.
The Morrow County Rodeo
will take place Friday evening
and will be followed by a
dance. Saturday, Aug. 26, the
annual morning parade will
occupy Heppner's downtown.
That afternoon the Open
Rodeo performance will begin
at 1:30 p.m. There is a
barbeque dinner planned at
the Episcopal Church begin
ning at 5 p.m., and a Saturday
night rodeo dance at the
fairground. Sunday afternoon
the concluding open Rodeo
action begins at 1:30 p.m.
This year's fair premium
books and program are dedi
cated to the memory of
Bernard J. Doherty who
served on the fair committee

M. Adv. By Comm. To Bad M
Momy, Rap. Suzonna Jpwn,
and was a long-time, staunch
supporter of the county fair.
Some senior citizens are still
upset about the possibility of
having a change in the
location of their meals toge
ther. The majority made it
quite clear that they hope to
stay at the Elks Club or at
some other downtown site.
Many spoke out against the
idea of moving the meals out'
to the fairgrounds after the
committee on a Senior Citizen
Center Site selection had
approached the fair board and
been warmly received.
Those who attended the
meeting conducted by Rollin
H. Reynolds, human resource
planner and aging specialist,
however, heard him assure
the group that no definite
commitment to change the
site would be made "unless
the majority of the seniors
approved." Reynolds also de
clared that there would be no
change in the director of the
senior program in Morrow
County, that Pat Brindle of the
Heppner Neighborhood Center
is a person "we just couldn't
be without."
A significant meeting of the
AAA (Area Agency on Aging)
will be held on Tuesday, Aug.
22 in the vicinity of Meacham
at the Rollin Reynold's resi
dence. It is expected that four
or five seniors from Morrow
County will attend and will be
able to report any decisions to
the group here.
