Adam wheat farmer, and
Chairman of the Commission.
Crop production was set on
the conservative side due to
winter damage of fall seeded
wheat, which increased the
seeding of spring grain.
"Spring wheat does not
produce the yield of winter
wheat," Tubbs said, "so we
are looking at less production
than we had in the past two
years."
Taking first priority in the
budget are on-going research
projects at Oregon State
University. "We continue to
look for higher yields and
disease resistant varieties of
wheat," stated Tubbs, "so we
look to the University for those
answers."
The dividend to farmers has
been an increase in average
yield per acre in the State of
Oregon from 25 to over 40
bushels.
Developing new markets
has been important to Oregon
wheat farmers for several
years, so the next largest
grant will go to the Western
Wheat Associates, the market
development arm for Pacific
Northwest wheat organiza
tions. The Commission cooperates
with the Oregon Wheat Grow
ers League in the areas of
public relations, information,
development of domestic
markets, transportation
studies, and exhibits for state
and county fairs.
Oregon wheat producers
took the lead several years
ago when they established the
first wheat commission in the
U.S. Twelve other wheat
producing states have similar
commissions, financed by
growers to work on wheat
grower problems.
Copies of the budget are
available upon request, at the
Wheat Commission office in
Pendleton.

'Trip'
causes
outage
The cause of the 20 minute
power outage which occur ed
Thursday in Heppner, lone
and Lexington was attributed
to a "B.P.A. worker tripping
over a relay", according to
Fred Toombs, manager of
Columbia Basin Co-op.
Toombs said he was inform
ed about the accidental dis
ruption of electricity from the
B.P.A., which he noted was
not all that uncommon in
substation work. The manager
wasn't sure but believes it
may have occur ed at a
Boardman substation.
The power outage occured
slightly after noon Thursday

as shutting off gasoline
pumps.
