(Continued from Page 1) Wheat yields in most east ern Oregon counties were about normal. However, planting costs were higher in the Columbia Basin, Oregon's major wheat growing area, because winter weather de stroyed much acreage that had to be reseeded to spring wheat. Sales of specialty products (nurseries, greenhouses, hol ly, bulbs, Christmas trees, farm forestry) jumped 24 percent to $173 million. Field crop sales declined for the second year in a row. Sales of $114 million represent a 15 percent drop from 1978. Fewer acres and depressed prices for potatoes and overproduction in mint account for the drop, said Miles. Thirty-two counties showed increased sales in 1979. Three (Crook, Jefferson, and Mor row) reported no change from 1978 sales figures, and one (Wheeler) reported a drop in sales.
