EIGHT The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday December 14, 1978 Stamp collection program to aid the world's needy CowBelles elect leaders; launch beef certificates 1 f CANCELLED STAMPS With the Christmas Card season almost upon us, it seems a likely time to mention that Extension Homemaker's Committee collects cancelled stamps, sending them once yearly to a collection point. The president of Oregon Homemaker's Council tells us that 25,000 cancelled stamps will feed a child in one of the developing or needy countries a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk every day for a year! Anyone wishing to save stamps for a good use, may turn them in to the Extension office for the committee, or to a member of the committee. Those who serve on the Homemaker's Committee are Lyla Wilcox, Yvonne St. Denis, Juanita Ryan, Irrigon; Mildred Wright, Ramona Marshall, Heppner; and Deb bie Sheirbon, Laura Brode rick, Lexington. 4-H CALENDAR OF EVENTS All leaders and 4-H families were recently mailed a "4-H Calendar" which includes dates of all 4-H events presently planned for our county, as well as due dates for application to attend a variety of events. As other events are planned, they will be noted in the Extension Newsletter, in order that they may be penciled in on the calendar.

ERIN AND JAN'S TRIP TO NATIONAL 4-H CONGRESS It was more exciting than our two girls had planned! With the Portland airport fogged in on the day of their scheduled departure, they were the lucky ones who ities offered them through 4-H. After the full week of activities, their exciting times were not to cease, for Chicago weather also offered problems for their trip home. We hope they always wanted to see San Francisco, for that is the way their changed flight plans took them! Due to arrive in Portland in the morning, they finally arrived there late that night. Excitement and memories to last a long time! We'll hear more about their experience later, as the girls have many slides to share with us.

This Message Sponsored In The Public Interest By I QANK OF vjzastern Oregon j HEPPNER IONE AELINGTOIf X Grain and potato harvest statistics listed for state Seasonal food buys are outlined This year many more apples are going into Controlled Atmosphere storage. In fact, the best apples are usually selected for CA storage. This has kept the current price for fresh apples a little higher than usual, but it should make for good quality apples throughout the year. Bosc, Cornice and D'Anjou pears are excellant for salads and desserts. For a quick and glamorous dessert, serve flaming halves of Cornice pears. For the flame, light a sugar cube which has been saturated with lemon extract. Serve at once. Don't be misled by the rather homely exterior ap pearance of Satsuma manda rins. They are seedless, sweet, flavorful and great for holiday munching. Grapefruit quality continues to improve as prices go down. Navel oranges are still on the expensive side but prices should start going down very soon. Winter vegetables in good supply include cabbage, hard shelled squash, sweet pota toes and yams, dry onions, potatoes, rutabagas, parsnips, broccoli and carrots. Leaf lettuces are the better buy in salad greens right now. However, the price of head lettuce has started to decline as more lettuce is coming to market. On a cost per serving basis, ground beef, beef liver and CUSTOM BUSINESS whole chickens are on the best buy list. However, when on special, there can be other cuts in this same price bracket. To keep the food budget in line, watch the ads for the better buys in meat and poultry. Carefully planning your market list can mean real savings on your food budget. Remember to include plenty of milk and cheese on your list. These dairy foods add high quality protein at less cost than many of the other proteins. Cottage cheese is a versatile food. Keep it on hand for use in salads or dressings, quick dips or spreads, in casserole dishes or in des sertssuch as baked or un baked cheesecake. It's an excellant food if you're watch ing the waistline with only about 200 calories in three fourths of a cup. Oregon's farmers produced 51.9 million bushels of wheat in 1978, nine per cent more than last year. Since the harvested acreage was not much different, (5,000 acres less) the increase was all in higher yields per acre. Last year, the crop suffered drought conditions in Eastern Oregon; this year lower yields were experienced in western Oregon because of a cold, wet spring. Winter wheat, the major part of Oregon's wheat crop, was estimated at 47.3 million bushels, five per cent more than last year. Acreage, down : five per cent from 1977, was offset by improved yields up four bushels from a year ago. Spring wheat production, at 4.6 million bushels, was nearly double last year; acreage was 79 per cent larger and yields were up nine per cent over 1977. The Oregon Crop and Live stock Reporting Service's end of -year survey placed the oat crop at 4.2 million bushels, 19 per cent less than last year. Acreage was 12 per cent less than 1977 and yields per acre were five bushels less than the previous year. The barley crop,' placed at nearly 9.3 million bushels, was four per cent above 1977 due mainly to per cent larger yields which offset a three per cent decline in harvested acres. Both oats and barley yields were affect ed to some extent by this year's weather, but not to the extent of wheat. Rye, a minor grain crop in Oregon, at 175.000 bushels, was 40 per cent above the previous year's production. All the increase was due to more acres for harvest as yields were estimated to be the same as last year. Nationally, all wheat pro duction was down 12 per cent; winter wheat was down 19 per cent : spring wheat was off one per cent; rye. up 51 per cent; oats, down 20 per cent; barley, up six per cent. Oregon's fall potato produc tion for 1978 is placed at 28.5 million cwt., about the same as last year. A 13 per cent increase in acreage was offset by lower yields per acre this year. Nationally, fall potato production was two per cent above 1977. 8 8 I 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 THE STAFF & MANAGEMENT CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO STOP IN THURSDAY, DEC. 21 BETWEEN 10 A.M. AND 5 P.M....
