Neighborhood Center needs help in
spreading Christmas j oy
A call from Pat Brindle
tells me there is a great
need for volunteers to
make doll clothing for the
dolls which are recycled
each year to add cheer to
many youngsters' Christ
mas. If you have time, and
needle skills, your help
would be greatly apprecia
ted. For more information,
call Pat at 676-5873. Fabric
scraps and notions to add
to the clothing would also
be appreciated.

"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

popular and successful
get-ready-for Christmas
event.

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.
