jfj Conservation meet scheduled 'HOW tO pf QSGtVG 8, husband
To assure that on-going con
servation practices are prov
, iding effective solution! to soil
and water problems In Mor
row County, the Agricultural
Conservation Program
(ACP) development group
will meet on August 26, at 7:30
p.m. in the ASCS Office, and
review the practices.
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.

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.

meter (6.2 miles) run here in 39
minutes, 17 seconds. Mansfield
was third in 39:33. 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

ment and the Heppner Soil and
Water Conservation District.
Other interested groups are
invited to participate.

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."
