STUDY GROUP NEWS Rhea Creek Study Group will meet at the Ruth Bergstrom home on Nov. 6, a change of date from its regular meeting. The group will have a special continuation of the "Chris tmas Potpourri", in addition to the study topic. Pine City Study group will sew doll clothing to assist the neighborhood center project, as well as the monthly lesson. Mem bers might want to bring sewing machines along to the meeting, if they have portables, as well as fabri cs. The evening group rec ently organized has chosen, "Willow Creek Homemakers" as its name, and welcome all interested.

"POTPOURRI" AT TRACTS CROWDS There will be many handmade gifts exchanged this Christmas, if crowds attending the "Christmas Potpourris" last week are any indication of plans. Both the special programs offered by Extension in Heppner and Pendleton drew full-house attendan ce, with interest shown in all demonstrations and exhibits. Secretaries in both offices were pressed to overtime work to keep up with the printed mater ials accumulated by those attending. There were exhibits and demonstrations to fit every interest, including things to make for kids, and for kids to make. Jean Eck lund, EOSH Therapist, drew mobs to her creative exhibits of herbs, potpourr is, sachets, teas, and other natural items, each in a very eye-appealing and other items for the walls. Her special appearance at the potpourri was sponsor ed by the Oregon Wheat Commission. Wheat weav ing, and straw wreaths are very old arts carried to America by the Scandinav ians. Straw wreath making was demonstrated by Bird ine Tullis, with Cece Slocum showing how to make wreaths of evergre en from your yard. Machine embroidery by Debbie Lee, bath salts with attractive puppet . mitt containers, and other creative gift items by Juanita Ryan, velvet roses by Yvonne St. Denis, candy wreaths by Barb James of Barb's Plant Seller, as well as a varied group of gifts ranging from stuffed toys to macrame by Irene Anhorn, all attra cted large groups of eager learners to their demonst rations. Delicate Scandinavian Christmas cookies were demonstated by Sylvia Smith. Pine needle weaving of baskets, trays, bird hous es, hats, bags, etc., by Ruth Fletcher of Ukiah, proved one of the most popular displays and dem onstrations. Ruth was delighted to display her talents at the Heppner show, as she is sister of Sadie Parrish, our county clerk. A bonus from Ruth she will come to our area to teach the pine needle weaving art if there are those who would like to learn (so if you would like to learn.. .call me, 676-9642, immediately, as she does n't like to travel the roads from - Ukiah to Heppner after winter sets in!) In addition to the demon stations, many exciting gift ideas and Christmas decorations were display ed by homemakers from both counties, including candy gift collections by Rachel Reeder, Helix, well known for her delicious, as well as lovely, candies; things for kids to make by Nancy Kessler, tree decor ations by Linda Tullis, and many, many more. Our special thanks to all " who helped make it a very popular and successful get-ready-for Christmas event.

Mike Sweeney, Chrmn. t-'MDV v '; ; I Agent Kerr cautions farmers on possible aphid infestation No problem yet, reports Harold Kerr, Morrow County Extension Agent, but there is a lot of wheat emerging, and everything is right for an infestation of the "Greenbug" aphid which poses a two-way threat to wheat crops. The greenbug can dam age wheat two ways: When feeding, the aphid causes a toxic material to enter the plant which can reduce root growth, and in large numbers, can actually kill the young wheat plant. The second way greenbugs damage wheat is they are one of a number of aphids which transmit Barley Yellow Dwarf virus. This disease stunts the wheat, turns the plant bright yellow and can kill the wheat, also. At the very least it will reduce yields. Other aphids which can transmit the Barley Yel low Dwarf virus are Oat Bird Cherry Aphid, and English Grain Aphid. All three aphids can be killed with approved chemicals. Consult your local dealer, applicator, or call the extension office for further details. Earlier recommendat ions have been to delay spraying until the aphid population reaches a fairly high level, 100-200 per foot ol a row. Kerr's recommendation is to spray when aphids are found in any number, especially if they are located throughout the field. The reason is that if spray is applied prior to a big buildup of aphids, the rancher stands a better chance of reducing the amount of Barley Yellow Dwarf virus. Spraying with Disyston, one of the better chemi cals, seems to give about six weeks control. The warm weather we are having also encourages an aphid build-up, so growers should be checking the fields at least twice a week, according to Kerr. Freezing weather slows reproduction of greenbugs, but does not kill them, so further infestations are possible even after colder weather comes. r fsmmmti SAVE $194 r ? ! - I:-1 1. idiiuieuiuui r s .
