"Hall early this month. The
seminar, also known as the
Dog and Pony Show, was
co-sponsored by the Morrow
County Wheat Growers
League,
More than fifty wheat grow
ers heard about current re
search and other Items of
interest to farmers.
Dale Wilkens, from the
Experiment Station near Pen
dleton, discussed grain drill
opener design for better seed
distribution, fertilizer place
ment, residue management
and soil moisture retention.
Wilkens has modified a John
Deere HZ opener to place
fertilizer in a band below the
seed. Wilkins reported that
banding nitrogen and phos
phorus fertilizer below the
seed increased the yield of
spring wheat more than the
same amount of fertilizer
broadcast on the surface.
Wilkins also reported that
banding of fertilizer will allow
for lower rates of nitrogen.
"Fertilizer placement can
be especially advantageous in
no-till and minimum tillage
situations because the fertiliz
er is placed near the seed and

is looking for dog owners to
join her 4-H Dog Club.
Members will learn the care
and training of their dog.
Members may start with a
pup or an older dog. 4 H dog
classes will be added at this
year's Morrow County Fair.
Members may apply for the
care and training of a guide
dog for the blind. In this
program, the 4 H member
starts out with a puppy, bred
for helping the blind. The
puppy becomes part of the
family and attends most
functions that the family
attends. At the end of the
training period the dog is sent
to "college" to learn speci
fically how to cope and care
for a blind person.
To be in 411, the potential
member needs to be in the
fourth grade or above, not to
have completed the 12th
grade.

Terry Townsend. a graduate
student at OSU, discussed
changes In the price of wheat
as it moves from the farm to
consumers in Japan. Terry
reKil td lliat ' the Japanese
government pays Japanese
wheat growers $26 a bushel to
encourage more wheat pro
duction and less rice.
John Oodos of the Oregon
Wheal Growers league dis
cussed the new Oregon Grain
Lien Law. The bill places an
automatic lien on grain sold
by farmers for a period of 90
days. Farmers can extend the
lien for an additional 90 days if
they file the proper forms with
the Secretary of State. The
liiw applies only to wheat that
Ik sold, not wheal in storage.
"We're belter off but not all
the way home." Oades said.
Norm Goelze. OSU Exten
sion agronomist, reported on
STKKP research. STEKP
Rlands for Solutions to Envi
ronmental and Economic Pro
blems, and is a coordinated
three slate research effort.
Goelze reported that there
was no difference in the
nitrogen availability to fall
planted wheat when the stub
hie was worked In the previous
fall or in the spring.
Goetze discussed the work
of research scientist Betty
Klepper and Ron Hickman of
the Pendleton Experiment
Station.
Man has been growing
wheat for 7.000 years, but not
until Klepper and Rlckman
delved Into the plant's behav
ior has anyone come up with
the basic information on
exactly how it develops.
Goelze said.
Jim Cornelius, OSU Exten
sion economist, reported on
his analysis of 73 wheat
marketing stratefies. Cornel
ius developed a computer
program that outlines the risk
versus the potential returns of
each marketing strategy,
' "Generally, the higher the
return, the higher the risk."
said Cornelius.
Cornelius reported that In
the past, the lowest prices for
soft while wheat have been
during May and June. Sales
lale in the marketing year
tend to give lower returns
when storage costs are con
sidered, but participation in
farm programs may offset
this, said Cornelius.
Cornelius Is writing an
Extension publication on
wheat marketing strategies
that will be available in a few
months.
Dave Hoist. OSU Extension
economist, discussed the use
of computers in farm manage
ment. Hoist brought a com
puter with him and demon
strated some programs that
are useful to farmers.
