need your help in this to make
our 1981 show a bigger success
and so it will run smoothly."
Some discussion was heard
on whether to combine the
horse show and games or have

The Cowboy Breakfast held
on the Sunday morning of
Rodeo week is the club's one
and only money making
project for the year. This
money is used for grounds
maintenance and repairs, said

Plans are in progress now
for this event.
Members should be thinking

Discussion about the club's
sponsoring of an open jackpot
rodeo this summer was held.
It was decided to continue this
at the next meeting for further
plans.
The meeting was adjourned

extended to the Roger Britt
family for hosting the evening.
A board of directors meet
ing will be held in January.

happy holidays to everyone," -The

Researchers
Researchers at Burns and at
other western sites are work
ing together investigating how
Mount St. Helens might affect
rangeland and the livestock
Industry-including studying
how well cattle can digest
forage covered with ash.
Forrest Sneva, a USDA
range scientist at Oregon
State University's Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Research
Center at Bums, is coordinat
ing Oregon, Idaho and Nevada
researcher's studies of the
impact of Mount St. Helens
ash on the growth of range
forages, water infiltration In
rangeland and cattle's ability
to eat food mixed with ash.
The forage growth research
is being conducted at OSU's
Squaw Butte research site
west of Burns and at the
University of Nevada at Reno.
, A water infiltration study is
underway at Squaw Butte; the
cattle study is underway at
OSU's Union agricultural re
search facility near La
Grande, and USDA scientists
at the Snake River conserva
tion Center at . Kimberly,
Idaho, have contributed to the
, research by analyzing the
physical and mineral proper-
ties of ash used in the tests.
', Sneva. who trucked loads of
ash from several parts of
' j western and eastern Washing
' ton just two weeks after Mount
St. Helens exploded May 18,
i said he had identified ho
! major problems in forage
growth.
"There appears to be a
slight reduction in yield in a
.plot of crested wheatgrass we
covered with' ash from the
Moses Lake area (in eastern
Washington). But' so far
'there's no indication of toxic
. jty or anything like that,"
Sneva said.

The Heppner Gazette-Time. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday,
test effect of
the ash that reached eastern
Washington last May was
fighter and fluffier than ash
that fell closer to Mount St.
Helens. He said the fluffier
ash "stands up higher" on
rangeland plots and he spec
ulated that it may be harder
for rangegrass seeds to germ
inate and grow shoots through
the fluffy ash than through
heavier ash obtained from
areas such as Yakima, Wash.,
because the shoots have
farther to go to break, into the
open.
OSU range scientist John
Buckhouse, who is conducting
the water filtration study
using a rainfall simulator
device on plots covered with
ash from several areas, said
early tests suggest lighter ash
that fell in eastern Washington '
may cause more infiltration
problems- and greater sedi
ment runoff than heavier ash
from western' Washington.
However, firm conclusions
cannot be drawn from the
study yet. he said.
Martin Vavra, an animal
scientist at OSU's Union
research, facility, is supervis- '.
ing experiments with how well
cattle digest dusted forage
and grain mixed with ash.
Using steers fitted with
plastic tubes in the side of
their stomachs, the' Union
researchers are testing how
well cattle digest range for
age, alfalfa and grass hays
and combinations of alfalfa,
hay and grain mixed with
varying quantities and types .
of Mount St. Helens ash.
The researchers also are
using digestive fluid obtained
from the animals to run V
laboratory tests on how ash
affects the digestibility of .
various forages.
Vavra expects to complete
the work and analyze the data
volcano on livestock
by the first of the year. Sneva,
project coordinator, and the
other researchers will present ,
a report on initial findings at a
meeeting of the International
Range Society in Tulsa, Okla.,
in February. " "'
Sneva said the research,
being funded through the
general operating budgets of
the scientists, probably will
continue for years.
"We'll be looking at these
ash test plots at Squaw Butte
ior 15, 20 maybe 25 years," he
said.
The USDA scientist said he
decided to conduct the range
forage work at Burns shortly
after Mount St. Helens erup
ted and spewed ash through
the northwest and other parts
of the country last May. "I
