.Biologist speaks on wildlife management
Dun Eastman, staff biolo
gist for the Department of
Finli and Wildlife, spoke at the
Morrow County Soil and
Water Conservation District
annual meeting March 4 at the
Lexington Grange Hall,
His topic was the Coordina
; tlon of Management Objec
tives for Rocky Mountain Elk
and Mule Deer in Heppner,
Fossil and Columbia Basin
Units.
Eastman said the Heppner
Project area is 5,700 square
miles with 79 percent of that
elk or deer range.
To manage the elk and deer,
hunting has been regulated to
muintain 2,950 elk in the
winter with a ratio of eight
bulls for every 100 cows. They
also regulate to have 29,500
deer with a ratio of 10 bucks
for every 1(H) does.
The Heppner Unit has had
more than the desired 2.B50 elk
for the Inst five years until last
year when it fell to 2,280. The
mule deer goal of 14,500 has
been below that in the same
area for the last five years
except for 17B when there
were I4,7it0.
The demand for elk hunting
has increased tag sales 19
percent from 1976 to 1978,
Eastman said. Total elk
hunters In the last 15 years
have Increased 2'4 times.
The 1979 strategy to reduce
hunters by splitting t; bull
elk season into two periods
was generally successful, he
said.
Total deer hunters have
doubled in the last 15 years, he
continued. Tag sales In
creased 52 percent from 1976
to 1978 for mule deer.
The number of hunters for
Rooky Mountain Elk recom
mended at any one time is
3,000 in the Heppner Unit. On
opening day in 1978, there
were 4.4BO. The total that year
was 6,280 compared to 2,800
total in 1970. The mos deer
hunters at any one time is
recommended to be 7.5(H)
while there were 10,870 on
opening day in 1978.
Only about 12 percent of the
bull hunters were successful
from 1976 to 1978 with an
average take of 6(H) elk each
year for all of the hunters.
Eastman said the deer take
average was 5,800 a year from
1976 to 1978 but adverse
weather conditions, rather
than the hunting harvest,
seemed to effect the deer crop
the most. Eastman said.
About so persons attended
the annual meeting. New
director Jerald Rea was
introduced along with the
other directors Rudy Berg
strom. Brock Lfnnell, Pete
Richards and chairman Dick
McEUigott.
A slide presentation was
given on the Resource Conser
vation Act. Harold Kerr gave
another slide presentation or
"Agriculture in the South"
which gave a visual tour of
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi
and I)iiisiana.
The Conservation District
also recognized the Don Ben
nett family for winding the
Conservation Man of the Year
award.
Water below average, conservationist predicts
Water users in Morrow
County should experience
slightly below average sup
plies during the next four
months, according to Robert
Adclman. district conserva
tionist in Heppner for the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service.
His forecast was based on
recent snowpack measure
ments. The March 1 snowpack at
the Arbuckle Mountain snow
course measured 15 inches
with an equivalent water
content of 6.3 inches compared
to an average water content of
9.0 inches. Last year, the
water content was 16.5 inches
at this same time.
Winter precipitation has
been near normal, but temper
atures have been very warm
at times and as a result some
of the snowpack has meltedJ
and runoff. Adelman said.

an American Field Service
exchange student who is living
with the Robert Abrams

year, spoke at a recent
Chamber of Commerce meet
ing about his homeland
His talk al the West of
Willow Restaurant was illus
trated with slides.
Alasuvanto, from Imatra
vhich is in southeast Finland
'and 5 to 10 miles from the
Russian border, said his home
country in the Middle Ages
was a part of Sweden but it
gained its independence in
1917.
Forest and steel employers
hire the most workers, he
said Finland does most of its
trading with the Soviet Union.
West flernumy. Sweden and
Britain. Finland imports raw
materials like oil and manu
factured products, like ma
chinery and automobiles.
Ninety percent of the people
are members of the Lutheran
Church.
Northern Finland is at about
Jhe same latitude as Alaska.
Qiesaid. In summer it is "quite
warm". Finland is known for
its (io.(HK) lakes which are used
fur pleasure boating, and most
people have summer cottages
on a lake, he said. There is
snow from December to
March
Alasuvanto said northern
Finland has a midnight sum
mer when the sun does not set
for 2' ! months. In the north,
snow skiing is popular in
March and April and a
reindeer round up is also
famous, making that spot a
good place for tourism.
Helsinki is the capital of
Finland with about half a
million people living there.
The Finnish language is
spoken by till percent of the
people in Finland with 10
percent Swedish. The govern
ment is a Republic with a
parliament consisting of 200
members serving four-year
terms. The president serves
for six years.
Finland has two levels of
taxes, national and local, and
they are very high, Alasuva
to said. But the country has
socialized medicine with free
medical care given to the
taxpayers which is one reason
the taxes are so high.

ball, soccer, track and field,
basketball, volleyball, boat
racing, and motor bike racing

downhill snow skiing is not
that popular because there are
not big mountains in Finland.

Finland we take more classes,
