Sheriff Clarence Bauman Appreciation Day set
A special day will be held
August 5 to honor long-time
Morrow County Sheriff, Clar
ence John David Bauman,
who was transferred Monday
to Pioneer Memorial Nursing
Home from the Blue Mountain
Convalescent Home in College
Place, Wash. Bauman served
as Sheriff for 38 years and
served in two world wars.
Sheriff Bauman 's Apprecia
tion Day will be highlighted by
a Sunday picnic at the Morrow
County Fairgrounds, from
12:30 to 2 p.m., sponsored by
the Heppner VFW Post and
Auxiliary No. 4184, American
Legion and Sheriff's Search
and Rescue Posse.
Beverly Launer, wife of Jim
Launer, VFW Post Com
mander, said the Post has
been in contact with Bauman,
Area wheat yield good but
kernals small, dry
The wheat harvest has
started in Morrow County and
according to Larry Mills,
manager of the Morrow
County Grain Growers, the
earliest wheat is showing
itself at the North Lexington
Elevator.
The North Lex Elevator is
one of seven stations open
from 7a.m. to 9 p.m. to handle
the trucks filled with local
grain.
Eric Anderson of Earth
Carpet was the first to turn in
the results of his wheat
harvest this year.
So far, the wheat yield is
good but Mills said the kernels
have been found to be small
and dritd int. When farmers
bring their wheat to the
elevators, samples are taken
of the wheat and sent to a
Washington State grain test
ing laboratory in Pasco.
Depending on market con
ditions, the newiy-cut wheat
will be trucked to railroads on
the Columbia. Mills said
wheat price looked fairly good
Monday at $4.70 per bushel on
the coast.
Fuel supplies are tight for
farmers this year but Mills
hopes they may be able to get
by. The county grain growers
supply comes from Cenex.
The fuel problems are not
entirely caused by the nation
al diesel shortage. Mills said
some farm vehicles are pow
, ered by gasoline.
Greater volumes of wheat
are expected later from the
lone and Boardman areas.
Oregon winter and spring
wheat acreage is static
Oregon's winter and spring
wheat production for 1979 is
expected to total 52.4 million
bushels based on conditions as
of July 1 according to the
Oregon Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service.
This is one percent more
than the 51.9 million bushels
harvested last year, but 13
percent less than the record
crop of 60.3 million bushels
harvested in 1976. Winter
wheat has turned color and
harvest is underway. Winter
wheat production is now
placed at 43.6 million bushels,
down 8 percent from the 47.3
million produced last year.
Spring wheat is expected to
total 8.8 million bushels,
considerably more than the
1978 crop of 4.6 million
bushels. Nationally, all wheat
production is forecast at 2.10
billion bushels, 17 percent

The Gazette-Times 676-9228
The Hospital Board hopes to
let bids for the new expansion
at Pioneer Memorial Hospital
by September, Chairman
Fred Martin and Board Mem
ber Ed Dick told the County
Court this week.
In response to a question by
Judge D.O. Nelson, Martin
said the board is running on a
tight schedule because of the
deadline for continuing the
1625 grant. The bid specifica
tions must be approved by the
federal Health, Education and
Welfare office in Seattle by
September 18.
Dick reported that he and
Hospital Administrator Bob
Byrnes met with the architect
after July 4 and believes the
plans are in the regional
office. The Washington, D.C.
office of HEW must also give
approval before the bids are
let.
"Planning is the whole basis
of our survival. As a business,
we have to do the proper job of
marketing. The federal gov
ernment has mandated you
will have a planning pro
gram," Dick added.
