The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday November 16, 1978 FIVE Japan-Morrow County friendships Friendships between Ore gon 4-Hers and Japanese Labo exchangees go on and on, and continue through the years. A recent example of the friend ships and contacts across the miles is the return of Misako Machatori to visit with her former host family, the Del Pipers, of Lexington. Misako was one of the very first group of Japanese students to Ore gon on the exchange, visiting in the Piper home five years ago. Now very much a young lady, and a freshman at the University of Oregon, Misako has returned to visit her Oregon family. She will be spending Christmas vacation with "her family", and prob ably many more occasions, as her plans call for four years of college in Oregon. CHECK SHRUBS NOW FOR SOIL MOISTURE After all the rain of the past summer, it may come as a shock to be reminded that soil conditions are now dry! Check the soil around the shrubs in your yard, and give them a good soaking before storing your garden hoses for the winter. Moisture is especi ally needed by those shrubs very near your home founda tion, as most homes have overhanging leaves that do not allow sufficient moisture from a light rain to reach the roots of these plants. Your shrubs will winter better if there is moisture in the soil when freezing temperatures occur. FUELWOOD FACTS Fireplaces and wood stoves are rapidly gaining promi nence as a supplemental or primary source of heat for homes. Shortages as well as rising costs of other energy sources have caused many to utilize wood as a heating fuel, and still others to consider the use of wood. Wood stoves, as well as fireplaces are rapidly gaining prominence as a primary, or supplemental heat source in homes. The warmth and cheer of a wood fire are popular reminders of the past, and provide an economical heat source. Do you buy a cord or a rick of wood? And which type of wood will provide the most heat? Which burns longest, or has less ash? These and many other facts are explained in a bulletin from OSU Extension Engineering department. If you are an old hand at cutting wood, or a novice, you'll find interesting information in "Fuelwood Facts", WRAES bulletin No. 70, available at Extension offices. Another good one is "Types of Wood Stoves", WRAES No. 103.

We feel this information is of interest to all consumers, and will use it monthly: Apples, Apples, Apples! It's' a near record crop. Quality is excellant and prices are generally moderate. Select from Red and Golden Delici ous, Rome Beauties (perfect for baking), Newtowns and Jonathans. Delight the family and add variety to the menu with dishes such as apple pie, apple cake, baked apples and pork chops with fried apple slices. Another main attraction in produce departments is pears. All varieties are available, including Bosc, D'Anjous and Cornice. Pears are picked green and usually need a few days extra ripening when purchased from the store. They are ready to eat or refrigerate when there is a slight softening near the stem end. Pomegranates and persim mons are in the markets. Prices are actually a little lower than they've been for the last couple years. This is one of the peak seasons for Hawaiian papaya. Grapefruit quality is im proving and prices should start coming down very soon. Tangelos from Florida have made their appearance. Weather has delayed Navel oranges which should be in the markets soon. Sweet flavored new crop nuts are available. Prices are high because this year's crops are smaller than usual. There are many fall vegeta bles available at reasonable prices. These include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts. The "cab bage cousins" retain their color better if the lid is left off during the first part of the cooking period. Vitamin A-rich Hubbard, Acorn and Butternut squash are moderately priced. When baking Butternut or Danish squash, try filling halves with chopped apples and brown sugar. Oregon produces some of the best onions in the country, and Oregon onions are plenti ful.

Russet Burbanks, great for baking, are rtow in the markets. The cost of meat presents a problem to many family food buyers. To stretch food bud- gets, families may need to change some of their meat buying and cooking habits. You can buy more pounds of meat with the same number of dollars if you read the weekly food ads and buy the meats featured at special prices. Some families may help solve budget problems by decreas ing their meat consumption. This means buying the amount needed for nutritional adequacy, but not necessarily the amount of meat people like to eat. GOOD NEWS! NEW 4-H CLUBS READY FOR MEM BERS Several new leaders are ready to start their 4-H club year, and will welcome mem bers. Paul Hanson and Wayne Wilson will now accept mem bers for a mechanical science club in Heppner that will offer expert guidance to boys and girls interested in small motors. Each member will have their own motor to tear down, and repair (Wayne and Paul have located motors and will have them available for the club members) Both men are expert mechanics, so this club offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the kids to learn all about engines. Paul not only flies his own spray planes, but maintains the motors as well, so he can really offer a world of mechanical skills. Wayne has a diesel and automotive repair business where the meetings will be held. We would encourage parents to contact one of the two leaders im mediately, or call Extension office w 676-9642 to enroll their boys or girls. For those interested in livestock, a choice of two new club opportunities is availa ble. Bill Doherty, Lexington, who was an outstanding Mor row 4-H member, now is ready to start a new club for those in the Sand Hollow area, or others who could attend there. Bill stresses that he wants his club to be a family affair, with younger brothers and sisters welcome to attend. He rem embers the good times of his club years and plans a very traditional 4-H club. Beef, sheep, swine, any livestock 25 project member is welcome. Call him, or call 676-9642, but do it now! Dwight Bailey, Buttercreek, an experienced leader who has just moved in from Roseburg, would like to get his club underway immediately! You'll find the Bailey family on the Charlie Daly place, so if the area is convenient for you, stop by and welcome the family to Morrow County, and enroll your kids in his club! Visiting with the Baileys, it was easy to learn he is a knowledgeable livestock grower with lots of good ideas to share with our 4-H pro gram.
