For the first time ever, Extension will offer a program simul taneously to all residents of Oregon. The series, fresh from the pen of Marcelle Straatman, OSU Extension Human Devel opment specialist, will start in mid-February, free of charge to all wishing to receive It. The idea behind the Exten sion educational program is to provide basic information to parents in the home about parenting topics. ' "Young parents want to do what's best for their children, but are often confused by popular articles that contradict each other regarding what to do with children," according to Ms. Straatman; "In addition, few have first hand exper ience or knowledge about babies." Knowing that about one third of mothers with children under age three work away from home.

The first letter, titled "Be coming a Parent," will deal with such topics as building a family, roles of parents and differences in temperament among children. Other letters will deal with ages and stages of development parents can expect normal children to experience, safety in the home, babies and play, and information about care cen ters and how to select care for children away from the home. Those wishing to receive the letters are asked to register by February 1, by either calling the Extension office, 678-9642, or by stopping at the office located on the second level of the Gilliam and Bisbee Build ing in Heppner.

Farmers would have lost money had this been a year of average yields of wheat per acre, because the cost of production would have ex ceeded by far the price per bushel. But where yields in Eastern "Oregon were up 80 bushels or more per acre, the cost of production dropped by nearly half. (Willamette Valley wheat growers had lower yields this year and did not fare so well), OWGL says. .. Recent Portland prices for No. 1 white wheat have been about $3.78 per bushel. Had yields been 34 bushels per acre (consideredaverage), the cost per bushel would have been from $5.22 to $5.52 per acre, depending on the farming method. But with high yields starting at 60 bushels per acre, the cost of production for Eastern Oregon farmers dropped to $3.16 per bushel and below. How can we estimate the cost of production, when every farm and every farmer is different? . Each year, the Oregon State University Extension Service Former Heppner man to receive Dave Hall, Vocational Agri culture instructor at Wallowa High School, has recently been named to receive the FFA Honorary State Farmer De gree. This degree will be awarded at the annual Future Farmers of America State Convention to be held in mid March at Oregon State Uni versity in Corvallis, stated a news release from Wallowa High School. Hall was nominated by the Oregon Vocational Agricul ture Teachers Association, and was elected by the State Executive Committee. The selection was based on the successful rebuilding of the Wallowa Vocational Agricul ture Department and the devotion of Hall to Vocational Agriculture students. In the six years that Hall has taught at Wallowa the students of his The word "boycott is from ths name of an Irish land agent who was the first known boycott victim. Velour so, pacmc Tra,.

Every year, the three agents make adjustments to try to come as close as possible to the "real" aver age.' In fact, this year's adjustments actually resulted in "dropping" the cost of production by more than 50 cents an acre, said OWGL. But that doesn't mean the average cost really dropped this year, warns Hoist. Three changes were made.

"Realistically, we've seen Just that," says Hoist. "We . found that if a farmer stayed ln business, he usually ex panded his acreage." Second, more credit was : given for the efficiency of the "newer farm machinery, since the new machines generally can cover more acres per hour. .' ", : Third, and perhaps most ' significant in the estimation of farming costs, the method for land valuation was changed in , the study. Instead of the cost of owning land being based on the market value, the land cost Is based on its farm use value and market rental costs. - "The market value is no longer representatiave of ag ricultural value," Hoist ex plains. . "We wanted some thing that was more represen tative of the actual value of the land in agricultural pro duction." The study, of course, does . not always fit the "wide range of real-life situations," says Hoist. But every year, it comes a little closer. The Oregon Wheat Growers League is the non-profit or ganization representing the interests of Oregon's B.000 wheat farmers.

Although the primary component of glass are in abundant domestic supply, recycling glass has long been an integral part of the glass manufacturing procees becauas of 1U economic advantage over raw mate rials. There are also en vironmental benefits. For every pound of recycled glass used, one leas pound of glass enters the waste stream aa litter or solid waste. Furthermore, since recycled glass melts faster than virgin material, ita uae allows manufacturers to de crease energy usage and emissions. For years, consumer re search has consistently dem onstrated that glass is the preferred packaging material for protection of taste and product quality.
