Former Morrow Co. Extension agent
named to top management job
Four Oregon State Univer

Alberta Johnston, Thomas
Zinn and former Morrow Co.
Extension Agent Harold Ken
have been selected as associ

Goetze will be associate direc

others, associate directors of
county programs.
"Filling these four jobs
means that the Extension Ser

reorganization of its top ad
ministration," said Henry A.

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.

'Your Money Matters' series to
be offered by Extension
"Young families who shar
pen their financial manage
ment skills now can avoid
problems later," according to
Dawn Hawkins, Oregon State
University Extension Service
home economist in Umatilla
and Morrow counties.
That's why the Extension
Service is offering a four-part
home study series called

Linda Gifford of Heppner

sity. 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.
Heppner seniors needing a
ride to the mealside should
call Mary Nikander, 676-5571
to make arrangements.

Under the new plan, posi

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.
As associate director for
campus programs, Goetze will

Wadsworth said.
