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. It is hoped that
everyone will post the calen
dar on their family bulletin
board and refer to it often.
Dates listed start immediate
ly, and go through fair next
summer. Any family that did
not receive the calendar,
please call John or Birdine at
676-9642.
4-H ENROLLMENTS
NEEDED IN COUNTY
OFFICE
We are offering a special
plea to leaders to get their
club enrollments in to the
extension office as soon as
managed to get on the only
plane that left that day. Cards
from both during their week in
Chicago reported on special
events, dinners and other
exciting times as well as
appreciation for the opportun-

NEW CLUB LEADERS
READY FOR MEMBERS
Several new 4-H leaders in
our county are eager to get
their club meetings started.
Contact the office, or call the

came to us with eight years
leadership experience in live
stock projects in Roseburg,

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.
Henry Krebs of lone was
re-elected as treasurer of the
Oregon Sheep Growers Assn.,
following the organization's
annual convention last week in
Portland. Bob Geaney of

president of the statewide

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.
