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.

The public today was asked
to submit ideas and comments
on decisions that need to be
made on the 1979 feed grains
and soybean programs.
Decisions are expected to be
made by Nov. 15 and com
ments are being asked con
cerning the following deter
minations to be made for the
1979 crops of corn, sorghum,
barley and oats:
-Whether barley and oats
should be included in the feed
grains program,
-Whether there should be a
set-aside requirement, and if
so, the proportion of acreage
to be set-aside,
-Whether there should be a
land diversion program, and if
so, the extent of such diversion
and level of payment (if land
diversion payments are made,
producers will be required to
devote to approved conser
vation uses an acreage of
cropland equal to the amount
of such land diversion),
-If a set-aside or land diver
sion program is required,
whether a limitation should be
placed on planted acreage,
-The amount of the 1979
national program acreage
(the U.S. feed grain objective
is set at 5.7 per cent of world
feed grain consumption, an
amount judged to be our "Fair
share" of world feed grain
