In reviewing the practices, the group will consider public benefits, the need to halt soli and water loss, and the need to reduce agricultural pollution, Judy Buschke, executive dir ector of the County ASCS office said. The ACP attempts to pro vide enduring solutions to soil and water conservation and agriculture related problems. The program provides both financial and technical assis tance to farmers whose land is affected by wind or water erosion, or pollution problems, jsald Mrs. Buschke, Mrs. Buschke said the . county committee encourages farmers to correct soil and water conservation problems, and, where needed, assists them with cost-share pay ments. "Our primary concern is saving soil, improving woodlands, keeping lakes and streams free from agricult ural pollution, and cleaning up farmland after natural disast ers," she said. Farmers participating in the ACP are applying such conservation measures as terraces, sedi ment dams, sod waterways, forestry thinning. A special project know as Tight Squeeze WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Jcunnie Kldridue, 24, and Anne Mansfield, 32, tulk on the telephone a lot. Since they be came friends through "run ning," they have trained to gether and have telephone con versations preceding races they both enter. Dldridge finished first in the recent L'cggnYWCA 10.000 Fire hazard extreme on rangelands The recent dry, hot weather has cured a heavy crop of wild cheatgrass on Burear of Land Management's eastern Ore gon rungcinnd.s, turning them into tinder and resulting in extreme fire hazard, accord ing to Walt Schopfer, BLM's chief of fire und emergency operations in Portlund. Two weekend fires burned nearly 30,000 acres of range land and the strongest dry lightning storm of the season peppered central und eustern Oregon with fires July 28. "In some places the fuel, cured bone dry, is as high as a pickup's windshield," suid Schopfer. "There isn't much we can do ulxnit preventing lightning fires. We just uttack them quickly and nut lightning detection equipment is helping with thut. "But we ask the public to be particularly careful with fire during this critical period. If they spot fires, we hop they will immediately notify the closest BLM office, or if this is impossible, call the county sheriff's office," Schopfer suid. Ironically, it wns the great er thun normal spring and early summer ruin full that resulted in the lush grass growth that generated the hazard. As an example, in BLM's Vule district, the dried cheat grass is about 18" high. One particularly hazardouus area is south of Juntura Junction. Hazard is high on the west side of Steen mountain and on Kiddle mountain in the Burns , district. Lakeview district reports that rainfall since January 1 is 8" above normal, encouraging the heavy growth of the hazardous fuels. Danger points are Bryant and Stukel mountains and the fringes fo Warner Valley as well as from Christmas Valley to Prine ville. In the Prineville district, cheatgrass is two feet high over a large share of the area, but three or four feet high in some of the more hazardous areas. Of particular concern are the Deschutes and John Day canyons. The hign cheatgrass is 80 perent cured in the south facing slopes of the Baker district and 65 percent cured on the north slopes. Snake Kiver Canyon, Halfway, Rich land, and Burnt Kiver are particularly hazardous areas.

It was the first win ever for Eldridgc, who enters races often. Second place finisher Beth Dillingcr, 24, probably felt like she was squeezed in a phone booth. She was six seconds be hind the winner, while edging Mansfield by 10 seconds. "Jordan Canyon" was started this year. The entire area covers 8583 acres of cropland and will cost approximately ' $482,180 to treat with conserv ation practices, such as 838,360 feet of terraces, 30 acres of waterways, and approximately 200 debris bas ins. The county committee has received $66,204 in cost-share funds in 1980 to get the project underway. The farmers cost on this amount is approxim ately $22,000. There are 18 farmers in the project area. "A project of this size will take many years to complete and without the aid of ACP would be almost an impossibility," said Mrs. Buschke. Other USDA agencies att ending the meeting as mem bers of the ACP development group include the Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service, Farmers 'Home Administrat ion, State Forestry Depart ment and the Heppner Soil and Water Conservation District. Other interested groups are invited to participate. By Birdine Morrow Extension Service Numerous calls on food preservation topis makes us believe that the summer canning and freezing season is in full swing, and that more people than ever are putting food by for good eating in the future. Extension has many bulletins to share with anyone interested which include the best and latest information on canning, freezing, drying, pickling or making jams and jellies. They are available at no cost. On the topic of preserv ation. ...looking thru the office copy of Ball Blue Book on canning and freezing, we stumbled on an old fashioned recipe for preserving a hus band. "How To Preserve A Husband" "Be careful in your select ion. Do not choose too young. When selected, give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use. Some wives insist upon keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them into hot water. This may make them sour, hard, and sometimes bitter; even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender, and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweettened with love, arid seasoned with kiss es. Wrap them in a mantle of oharity. Keep warm with a steady fire of devotion and serve with peaches and cream. Thus prepared, they will keep for years." to w5oM HeppEaGff The Social Security Repre sentative will be at the Heppner Neighborhood Cent er, 178 Willow on Friday, August 8, from 10 a.m. till noon.
