The OSU Estension Service is the offampus teaching arm of Oregon State Univer Don't over irrigate The rising cost of irrigating has most Columbia Basin wheat farmers watching their water use closely but a study at Oregon State University's agricultural research station at Hermiston suggests some are still overdoing it. "They used to start up the sprinklers in the spring and let them run until harvest, whether the wheat needed it or not. Farmers are becoming cautious about irrigating. But a lot of them are still using 40 inches of water on their wheat. "That's too much." said Vance Pumphrey, OSU ag ronomist, who did the studv with OSU colleagues Dan Hane and Earl Bates. "We found that about 22 inches total during the grow ing season, applied at the right times, is all the moisture winter wheat needs for maxi mum yield, although that pro bably means using 24 to 27 inches of irrigation water when you consider losses from evaporation and other causes." Pumphrey said. In an irrigation experiment at the Hermiston facility, the OSu researchers found wheat yield increased about 7.5 bushels an acre for each inch of water they added until they reached the 19-inch plateau.

It teaches in agriculture, forestry, marine resources, home economics, community development, energy and 4-H youth programs. It! purpose is to provide practical, problem solving information to Oregon residents. "We've pared our adminis tration to the bone so that we may put most of our resources into educational programs throughout the state," Wads worth said. "It's what is called for in tough economic times." The four new appointees were selected from among OSU Extension faculty mem bers after a task force appoin ted by Wadsworth and agri culture dean Ernest J. Bris key recommended a new ap proach for administering the where the rapidyield gains tailed off. "We reached a maximum yield of about 135 bushels an acre and above that the increases came very slowly for the cost of the additional water," Pumphrey said, ex plaining that he recommends applying about 22 inches of water to winter wheat "just to provide a safety margin." The bulk of a wheat plant's water needs come from the time the heads emerge through the flowering stage, the study showed. In the Hermiston area, that period usually is between May 5 and June 1. In the Pendleton area, the period is usually between May 15 and June 10 and in the higher wheat-growing areas of Wallowa County it is about three weeks later. "Over irrigation of winter wheat is most likely to occur in the early spring, during tillering, and during the later stages of kernel maturity be cause little water is used during those stages," Pumph rey said. A similar study of the irri gation needs of potatoes is underway at the Hermiston facility, noted Hane. the facility's manager. Lewis is the Oregon Grange lecturer. The Sweet Adelines will provide musical entertain ment. This group draws members from Irrigon. Her miston. Pendleton and other local areas. Other musicians cipating in the program, which will begin October 30, must pre-register with the local county extension office by October 15. The lessons, which will be mailed every three weeks, are offered free. The first lesson deals with financial planning, including looking at where money is now spent and how to build a family spending plan. The second, managing credit use, discusses such topics as the cost of credit, how much credit a family can afford and includes an exercise to show the family's current debt commitments. Protection against financial risk, which usually means some form of insurance, is the topic of the third lesson. It includes a form to help fami lies think about financial risks, their present plans to reduce those risks and chan ges which may be needed. Seniors attending the noon meal at the mealsite are not charged for transportation. For those over 60 who do not attend the cost is 75 cents round trip. Cost for commut ers under 60 is $1.50.

Under the new plan, posi tions formerly called "pro gram leaders" and "area supervisors" were eliminated. Instead, the new associate directors, with Wadsworth, will constitute Extension's top administration. "Collectively, they will be responsible for program de velopment and evaluation, re cruiting staff and evaluating them, planning and managing our finances and a variety of other duties." Wadsworth said.
