Warm weather grain
inspections important
Rapid insect development
usually occurs during the
spring, summer and early fall.
Judy Buschke, county exec
utive director for the Morrow
County Agricultural Stabil
ization and Conservation
committee, said grain inspec
tions are particularly impor
tant during these months.
"When grain is stored and left
undisturbed in the same
location for several months,
the probability of insect infes
tations, moisture damage and
mold growth increases." Mrs.
Buschke said. Infestations
generally begin during warm
weather near the grain sur
face, specifically in areas
where foreign material has
built up during unloading.
"We encourage farmers to
check the condition of their
farm-stored grain, whether it
is under loan or in the grain
reserve program." she said.

f V ? WEATHERFORD I
Heppner 's weather has mostly been helpful to me during
this very busy month. Although I'm often a few days later
than I like in mowing my lawn, I have not needed to be out
sprinkling the grass or watering the garden.
Last Saturday a really great weather surprise delighted
the Weatherfords who had arranged the centennial reunion
near Arlington. That area can be mighty cold now and then
and at this time of the year very windy and dusty. May 23 was
one of the nicest days ever there-pleasantly warm, no wind
or dust and good visibility. Guess the right committee
managed the weather for the occasion.
Sunday the Morrow County Fairground's parking areas
were full of good-sized puddles, but that did not discourage
the good crowd which came to the 28th annual Pioneer
Picnic. The darkest cloud of the weekend was caused by the
sudden death of Elaine Sigsbee George who was a picnic
fixture as chief of the Soroptimist registration crew. Elaine
was always a "doer." She long managed the Star Theater
created by her photographer father, Bert Sigsbee. She was
the manager of the Heppner City Office and Water
Department when I first met her-was always so pleasant
and efficient.
Elaine was an outstanding Soroptimist, was secretary of
the cemetery board, was a great supporter of the County
Museum and of the historical society. Just last week we
talked together about some old films of Heppner happenings
that she had owned and which my husband had the Oregon
State Historical Society remake and preserve. I will see that
these reels soon are lodged at the Morrow County Museum.
Memorial weekend always sees more adults than usual
going through the museum here, and the month of May
brings many children to view its exhibits. I understand that
this month 90 students, accompanied by six adults, came
from Hermiston; 58 students and 6 adults came from
Boardman; 45 students and 5 adults came from Irrigon and
there was a group of 30 from Heppner Elementary School
enjoying visiting there.
One family group that makes an annual Memorial Day
pilgrimage to Heppner comes to decorate the grave of
Heppner's Chinese restaurant owner Eddie Chinn whose
Elkhorn Cafe will be long remembered. Eddie's son Danny
and his wife Lily and their son Billy always drive over from
Hermiston and visit the graves of Eddie and his wife Esther
and then visit with Hazel and C.J.D. Bauman at their home
and also with Rachel Harnett at the museum; they
sometimes visit Elsie Fox at Lexington, too. Hazel, as
teen-age Hazel Cantwell, knew Eddie and Esther from their
arrival in Heppner and worked for the Elkhorn for many
years. Elsie AJlyn, then as Elsie Co wins, worked there as did
several others still Heppner residents. They will help me get
together a story on the Chinn family later.
The tour around Shutler Flat, Rock Creek, Olex and along
the Bunker Hill Road last Saturday pleased me especially
because everyone learned a little about several landmarks
somewhat related but not primarily connected to the
Weatherford family. These were the old Crum family grist
mill along Rock Creek west of Olex, the townsite of Olex itself
which was once an important stop between The Dalles and
points east and where the old town school is still used just
north of where the pioneer community was centered and the
Earl Snell roadside marker mounted on a huge boulder along
the Bunker Hill Road. This marker tells that Earl Snell,
Oregon's first east-of-the Cascades born governor was born
there. All of his school years were spent in Arlington. His
aunt, Minnie Clara Snell, married M. Earl Weatherford and
thus became the mother of some of the third generation of
W.W.Weatherford offspring including my husband and his
three older brothers and two sisters.
A very sad Shutler Flat story, I heard for the first time on
this tour, was the account of the snow corral which 100 or so
horses stamped out during an historical, double winter. The
country was then unfenced and the horses from a large area
clustered together as the snow piled high. They stamped out
a low spot, a real snow-fenced corral from which they could
not escape and into which no hard-pressed humans could
manage to enter. After the deep snow melted some and as the
weather moderated and neighboring ranchers could get out
and about again they found all of their horses together there
and starved to death.
Not since Christmas has my home been as lively as it was
from last Friday evening until Monday forenoon. Almost
five-year-old Billy Eugene and his sister Bonnie Anne, ten
months, and their cousin Abiah Lucile Weaver, eight months,
and four youthful Weatherford and Weaver parents really
brightened things up. How very quiet everything seemed by
Monday afternon. These two families traveled many long
hours to get to Heppner from Imperial Beach, California, so
close to the Mexican border, and from distant Port Orchard,
Washington. How I prayed that all seven of them would
return safely over the miles to their own homes.
When a grain loan is approv
ed, the farmer is responsible
for any lass in quality or
quantity of the crop caused hv
insect infestation or rodent
damage.
Because of temperature
differences that develop with
in the structure when surface
and perimeter areas of the.
grain cool, stored grain col
lects moisture that may shift
from one location to another.
Moisture from warm grain
shifts to cooler parts of the
structure, causing damp
areas within the grain that
favor insect activity and mold
development. These, in turn,
cause rapid deterioration and
heating of the grain.
"Anytime farmers are in
doubt as to the condition of
their stored grain, they should
notify our office as soon as
possible." the ASrS official
said. "

Tick season again
By Glenn W. Morgan. M.D..
P.C.
Tick bites occur most often during spring and early
summer. Most bites are harmless and just a nuisance, but
occasionally a serious and even life-threatening illness
occurs. This article discusses what to do in case of a tick bite
and presents three tick-caused illnesses. Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever, Colorado Tick Fever and tick paralysis.
If you notice a tick stuck to your body, don't squeeze it or
roughly pull it off. This is likely to leave the head deeply
embedded in the skin. Instead gently pull the head and mouth
parts out with tweezers. It often helps to apply gasoline,
alcohol, cooking oil, or nail polish first to loosen the critter.
Applying a match or lighted cigarette to the end of the tick
may also encourage it to back out, though this is best tried
before applying gasoline. If the body breaks off, the head
should still be removed, as it may cause infection or a large
inflamed lump to form. This can sometimes be confused with
cancer when examined under the microscope, unless the
information of tick bite is given.
The most feared disease caused by tick bite is Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). This disease is found all
over the United States and Canada. In fact, it is most
common in the South and not the Rocky Mountain states as
its name implies. It is fatal in 7 percent of cases, though it
was three times as high before antibiotics were available.
It is usually passed to man by the wood tick in the West and
the dog tick in the East. Ticks can live up to several years on
the same animal, and many wild animals are infested with
them. As a boy growing up in Wisconsin, I thought that ticks
dropped out of trees, dive-bomber style, to land on people as
they walked by. Actually, they crawl in grasses and latch
onto clothing and legs. Then they climb up the body until they
find a suitable place to bite.
RMSF occurs about a week after tick bite. As its name
implies, it causes fever and spots. The fever is usually high,
up to 104 on the first day or two. Severe headache, muscle
soreness in the back and legs, pain in the abdomen and
shaking chills usually occur. The spots are seen on about the
fourth day of the fever. They first occur on the wrists, ankles,
palms and soles. After six to 12 hours, the rash spreads to the
trunk and face. Over the next few days the rash deepens,
causing bleeding beneath the skin.
In severe cases, RMSF leads to death by heart failure and
shock, causing delirium, gangrene and kidney failure.
Mortality is higher in older people. Most cases do slowly get
better after a few weeks, especially if treatment with
antibiotics is started early. People who live in areas with
high rates of RMSF should be vaccinated against it, though
this is probably not necessary in Oregon.
Another illness caused by tick bite is Colorado Tick Fever.
This occurs in the Rocky Mountain area, including Eastern
Oregon. It is seen from late March through September,
especially in May and June. It has many of the same
symptoms as RMSF, though usually milder, and is twenty
times more common. Because it is caused by a virus passed
from the tick bite, there is no treatment for it.
In Colorado Tick Fever, symptoms of fever and muscle
aching in the back and legs start within ten days of a tick bite.
There is headache, pain on moving the eyes, and soreness
when looking at bright lights. Rash is found only rarely. The
fever lasts two days, then suddenly drops to normal, leaving
the patient very weak for two days. In half of the patients, the
fever comes back for up to three more days, sometimes
higher than at first.
This illness gradually gets better, though it lasts longer in
people over thirty. Diagnosis can be made through a blood
test.
A third tick-caused illness is tick paralysis, a rare and
fascinating disease. Symptoms start at least several days
after the tick attaches itself to the skin. As it feeds and gets
larger, it produces a chemical which gets into the
bloodstream and slowly causes the unlucky victim to become
paralyzed. It most commonly occurs in children, especially
girls with long hair where the tick attaches to the scalp.
Tick paralysis starts in the legs, spreading fairly rapidly
up the body. If allowed to continue, it can eventually paralyze
the breathing muscles and cause death. Treatment is simple.
When the tick, including all the mouthparts, has been
removed, rapid improvement occurs within hours and the
person is completely well in a few days. This disease can also
occur in animals. It is most common in northwestern United
States and Canada.
One last note about tick bites. Although these and other
serious diseases can occur following a bite, most people don't
get sick at all. If you have any questions, you should contact
your family doctor.
