Wheat League launches membership drive
The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday February 1, 1979-ELEVEN
It may not seem like it, but
garden work can begin now
Oregon wheat growers are
gearing up for Oregon's legis
lative session with a state
wide membership drive for
the Oregon Wheat Growers'
League (OWGL). The OWGL
is the non-profit agricultural
trade association composed of
Oregon's wheat farmers.
"Work in Oregon's Legisla
ture is important," said Earl
Pryor, Condon, president of
the OWGL. "Our membership
drive, now in the mails,
concentrates on the activities
that Oregon farmers must
participate in this current
legislature and we're asking
each farmer to contribute only
$25 for this legislative effort."
Tom Thompson, Pendleton
consulting agronomist, has
been retained by the wheat
growers to consult on mem
bership matters. The state
wide membership committee
chairman is Bob Johns,
Athena.
According to Johns, state
wide membership meetings
will be held in the various
wheat producing counties
during the middle of Feb
ruary. Johns said that the
purpose of these meetings
would be to establish contact
with each grower in each
county and to point out the
benefits of membership in the
wheat league.
The first steps to a more
productive garden can be
taken in January or February.
Select favorite vegetables and
flowers and order early if
ordering from a catalog. Or
buy your favorites at a local
garden shop.
For your garden choose an
area that will receive six to
eight hours of sunlight each
day. The soil should be fertile,
well-drained and located
several feet from trees and
other vegetation that might
take nutrients garden plants
will need.

The U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs states: "Most
large supermarket chains sell private label foods
and household products. These private label or
house brands are usually less expensive and equal
in quality to national Brands, in
many cases supermarkets pur
chase their house brand goods
from the same companies that
manufacture nationally advertised
brands. "
V1 iW
Because of various cost savings,
including lower promotional
cost, house brands can be sold for less.
r
Safeway generally prices its own top-quality (S)
Brands lower than national brands of comparable
quality and you can always depend on their consis
tently high quality. Every (S) Brand is uncondition
ally guaranteed to please.
Each product in the entire (S) Brand line is iden
tified with the red (S) and the words "FINEST
SAFEWAY DUALITY." Rigid quality specifications
must be met before the familiar (S) goes on the
label . Customers acquainted with (S) Brands know
the products are comparable to top national
Drands . . .but they cost less.
Get to know Safeway's family of
(S) Brands, including Town
House, Bel-air, Lucerne, Ed
wards, Safeway, Mrs. Wright's,
and many others. They're your
staunch allies in the battle against

on the space available. Ideally
the plot should be at least 10 X . .
10 feet. A garden this size will
hold as many as 15 different
types of vegetables. A larger
garden of 25 X 50 feet can
provide all the fresh vege
tables five people are likely to
eat in a season.
When designing your
garden, it is best to run the
rows of vegetables north to
south to maximize sun expo
sure and to lesson the effects .
of shading. Place tall plants at
the north end of the rows and
against a fence wherever
possible. The fence will make
a good trellis for climbing
plants and a good support for
tall plants which tend to blow
over.
Leave adequate space bet
ween rows for walkways to
allow convenient access to
plants when weeding, water
ing or harvesting. If you are
using a rototiller, leave
enough room between plant
rows so that you can cultivate
without cutting into the root
systems. The actual width
between rows depends on the
leafiness of the plant and on
the tine width of the tiller.
After determining the size
and layout of the garden,
collect the tools needed to do
the job. Basic needs include a
rake, hoe, trowel, tape
measure, garden hose, string
and label stakes. Now is the
time to replace that broken
handle on the rake, sharpen
your favorite hoe, and put new
gaskets in your garden hoses
if they need it.
Weather conditions dictate
the best time to begin tilling. If
there is any doubt use this
simple procedure. Dig up a
trowel of dirt and squeeze it
with your hand. If it packs
solidly, the soil is too wet; if it
crumbles, the soil is too dry. If
the soil just holds together,
conditions are right for tilling.
To give proper richness and
texture to the soil, commer
cial fertilizers or manure
should i be applied before
tilling. Then till the ground to
a workable consistency. Re
work the ground several days
after the first rototilling to
break up the crust and to
make sure of a good weed kill.
It is best to work the ground -different
directions each time
it is rototilled. If your ground
is hard initially, it may be
desirable to set the depth of
your rototiller to about three
inches. Then use a deeper
setting of six or seven inches.
After working the ground
rake the area smooth, break
up large clods, remove debris,
but try not to overwork the
garden plot. Fine soil will
crust after a hard rain (or
irrigation), making it difficult
for plant sprouts to push
through.
Planting times vary with the
vegetable; frost sensitive
plants should be planted a
week or two after the last
freeze. In the Heppner area
planting could start the first
week in May but this is not a
dependable date. Garden plots
at higher elevations should be
planted later.
Vary your planting times of
the same vegetable to have a
longer harvest of fresh pro
duce. Or use early or late
maturing varieties. Watch the
label for 'days to maturity';
long maturing varieties may
not have time to mature in
