USDA urges farmers to sign
up for the insurance coverage

tions them not to expect
disaster program protection

oration is to establish insur
ance coverage on most agri
cultural crops. The expansion
is part of an overall effort to
assure virtually every farmpr
the opportunity to take advan
tage of the all-risk crop
insurance program.
USDA statistics show that
each year, one of every 14
crops planted never makes it
to harvest.
The federal crop insurance
is a self-help assistance pro
gram designed to provide
economic protection for farm
families. Next year, the cover
age will be available nation
wide on corn, wheat, cotton,
grain sorghum, rice and
barley - the six major crops.
Major producing areas
growing 22 other crops also
will be covered.
The list of agents authorized
by FCIC to sell all -risk crop
insurance may be obtained by

mittee, says farmers who
place their 1981 wheat crop
under price support loan may
enter it immediately into the
grain reserve.
"They will receive annual
storage payments of 26-1?
cents per bushel, payable in
advance," she said. While
interest will be charged on the
loan during the first year that
the wheat is in the program,
interest will be waived during
the second and subsequent
years of the reserve loan.
So far, local farmers have
placed about 254.059 bushels of
their 1981 wheat crop under
loan. Mrs. Buschke said the
county loan rate is $3.36 per
bushel.

"Earlier crop wheat now in

When the release level is
reached, farmers may re

Heppner sisters visit Japan
By PATTI ALLSTOTT
It seems rising travel costs
have caused many to take
shorter, less distant vacation
trips this year. But Cindi and
Sandi Hudson of Heppner
weren't discouraged. Both
girls have pen pals living in
Japan and they decided about
a year ago to begin saving for
a trip to visit them. Sandi 's
pen pal of 5'4 years, Tomoko
Morita, visited Heppner in
1979, but Cindi had never met
Shikiko Tanak&i her four-year
friend via-writing.
The sisters left Portland on
Wednesday, July 15, and
arrived at Osaka, Japan on
the 16th. The trip took 14
hours, Sandi said.
Both of the girls' pen pals
lived in suburbs of Osaka.
Though the sisters didn't see
each other much, they visited
the same points of interest.
They traveled to the city of
Kobe where they saw Port
opia, comparable but smaller
than Spokane's Expo Center,
they said.
The sisters and the two
natives spent two days in
Kyoto, ex-capitol and 5th
largest city in Japan. There
the group visited three tem
ples. They also went to Nara
where they saw the largest
Buddha in Japan. The building
incasing the Buddha is the
largest wooden structure in
the world, Sandi said. They
also visited the Japan Sea and
Osaka Castle where, Sandi
said, part of the movie
"Shogun" was filmed.
While discussing interesting
points of Japanese culture,
Sandi said she was told that
when a pregnant woman
reaches the eighth month of
her pregnancy, that she leaves
her husband and home to stay
with her mother. After the
baby is born she returns to her

woodcutting allowed. The

Campers - Woodward and
Jubilee Lake campgrounds
are both open. These camp
grounds are usually full for
the weekend by Friday noon.
Please remember that the
backside of Jubilee Lake is off
limits due to an active timber
sale. Also open and available
are Woodland and Target
meadows campgrounds.
Although the crop this year
is sparse, there are some
huckleberries being picked in
the Jubilee Lake and Target
Meadows areas. Anyone pick
ing huckleberries during the
week should avoid the west
side of Target Meadows road
to prevent being hit by logging
activity.
All motorists should be
advised that there is construc
tion on the Mottet Road and on
Road 6413 in the Lookout
Mountain area. There is
heavy log truck traffic on
Road No. 64 (Jubilee Lake
road) and Road No. 62 (the
Troy Lookingglass Road). All
roads on the district are dusty,
so be considerate and cautious
of other traffic.

said Tomoko was surprised to
learn that Americans do not
practice this ritual.
Cindi reported that the
drinking age was 20 but
minors are permitted to drink
when accompanied by their
parents or guardian. She also
said a person must be 18 to
obtain a driver's license and
said she was told that it costs
about $1,000 for a license.

THE CASE OF
WINDOWS, OPEN
AND SHUT
No matter what the architec
tural style of your home, there
are appropriately designed
wood windows to go with it.
Traditional double-hungs, bowj
and bays and contemporary
casements, sliders and fixed
sash picture windows are exam
ples. All are available in stock
sizes at local home centers or
building supply stores. Because
modern wood windows are
factory-made, they fit snugly
and are easy to install.
Cindi collected key chains
from each city she visited as
momentos. When asked what
she felt was most interesting
and exciting about the trip,
she answered: "visiting the
temples and meeting a four
year pen pal and her family."
The sisters returned to
Heppner Monday, August 17,
after being away for about a '
month. They said that Cindi's
pen pal, Shikiko, might visit
Heppner next year.
Sandi and Cindi are the
daughters of J.D. and Jo
Hudson of Heppner.
