. n, .-4s- if ! .4, FOURTEEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 7.19781 -A V Nk H V H . eptachlor public meet in Hermiston Sept. 12 The Oregon State Depart ment of Agriculture will hold a meeting next Tuesday, Sept. 12, in Hermiston to discuss with area wheat growers new management approaches to the use of the seed-treating chemical heptachlor. The meeting starts at 1:30 p.m. at the Pendleton Grain Growers Hermiston plant on Feedviile Road. Heptachlor, which is used by grain producers to ward off infestations of destructive wi reworms, has been involved in a controversey, since it has been blamed for damage to wild goose colonies in parts of the Columbia Basin. Chemical concentrations of varying degrees have been noted in several samples of Canada geese and other wild fowl in recent years, particu larly in refuges in Umatilla County. Wireworms, the pests for which the chemical is used to combat, have caused signifi cant economic losses to area wheat and barley growers. ... The state agriculture de partment is proposing to require that: All treated seed in transit be covered to eliminate spills. Treated seed spilled dur ing drilling either be retrieved or covered over. All abandoned seed be disposed of in a way to keep it from serving as a food source for wild birds. The department also plans to investigate a more selective approach to the use of heptachlor, which currently is under a federal phase-out rule meaning that by 1982, the chemical will no longer be approved for agricultural use. State agriculture officials hope that eventually, hepta- chlor-treated seed will be used only where wireworm infesta tions are the most severe. State interest in developing new management approaches to the chemical was sparked when government wildlife ag encies discovered the hepta chlor compounds have been found in significant concentra tions in the fatty tisues of Columbia Basin geese, some times causing death to the birds when fat reserves are absorbed during winter mon ths. On the other side of the coin, wireworm infestations can quickly destroy a seeded grain field, and thus far, research ers haven't developed an alternative to heptachlor to fight the harmful grain pest.
