Two meetings on pesticide
"Pesticides What They Mean to You" will be the topic of
two meetings on Monday, March 81, in the conference room of
the Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative in Heppner. The first
session will be at 1 p.m. The program will be repeated at 7:30
p.m. Tom Zinn, Extension Service agent from The Dalles, will
be the speaker for both programs.
Janet Tucker, Morrow County Wheathearts chairperson,
urged people to "bring a friend or two and come to the meetings
together!" She said babysitting could be arranged.
Grasshoppers are coming
Grasshoppers are threatening to invade 32.2 million acres of
western rangeland in 17 states this summer, according to an
official of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"Surveys of adult grasshoppers made this past August and
September indicate the possibility of heavy grasshopper
infestations this summer in many areas," said Harvey Ford,
deputy administrator of USDA's Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
The surveys indicate potential grasshopper populations heavy
enough to cause economic damage on 32.2 million areas in 17
rangeland states, Ford said. Economic damage is defined by
USDA as eight or more grasshoppers per square yard.
Wheat for poor nations
Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore) has introduced legislation
channeling 4 million tons of wheat, formerly destined for the
Soviet Union, to the world's poorest nations.
Hatfield said the bill would feed millions of people, help
strengthen U.S. image in the developing world at the expense of
the Soviet Union and bolster farm prices.
The legislation would mandate that grain, embargoed from
sale to the Soviet Union, be sent to poor nations under Title II of
the Food for Peace program.

Beef industry 'concerned9 over economy
Returning from meetings of
the National Cattlemen's As
sociation in Washington, D C,
Ray French, a Heppner area
rancher, said the industry is
"quite concerned" about a
number of issues that are
before Congress or the na
tional administration.
As president of the Oregon
Cattlemen's Association,
French is a director of the
national organization.
Mrs. French went with him
last week for the directors'
meetings as well as Les Marks
of Hermiston. second vice
president of the Oregon Cattle
men who represents the
feeder groups.
"We had a White House
briefing while we were there,"
French said. "It was held in
the Executive Office Building
by aides of the President,
including Alfred Kahn, an
economics advisor. President
Carter addressed one of our
sessions.
"He spent his time defend
ing his economic policies, as
did his aides. My impression
of him was okay he's a man
with the weight of the world on
his shoulders."
Among issues that the
National Cattlemen's Associa
tion is "quite concerned"
about. French said, are:
Dietary goals of the na
tional school lunch program
with its stress on low-fat
hamburgers. "We think it is
tough on the red-meat indus-'
try," French said. "We were
concerned about the $100

Manager. David Rasmussen.
has announced from his head
quarters at Bend.
The forms should be filled
out and kept in a safe place,
ready for census takers to pick
up when they start their
rounds on March 31.
The forms contain seven
questions about each person in
the household and 13 questions
about the house. Most ques
tions are answered by filling
in the proper tiny circle with a
common lead pencil, making a
black dot which can be "read"
by Census Bureau machines.
The instruction guide, which
comes with the questionnaire,
should be studied before
answering the questions.
The census taker will check
the questionnaire to see that
all questions that apply to
each person and to the house
have been answered, and wifl
give any assistance needed in
filling out incomplete ques
tionnaires. At some households the
census taker will seek an
swers to additional questions
about each person and about
the house that are being asked
of a sample of the Nation's
population. In places of more
than 2500 population one
household in six will be in the
sample. In the less populated
areas it will be one household
in every two.
The manager emphasized
the confidentiality of all infor
mation given in the census. No
individual or household can be
identified in the published
statistical reports of the
census. By federal law. census
information cannot be given to
any other government agency,
local officials, tax collectors,
police, school officials, health
or welfare officials, not to
anyone.
