An agreement between the Department of Fish and Wild life and Boeing Agri-Industrial Company has been signed which permits public recreational use beginning with the hunting seasons of 1983. The Boeing lands agree ment was the major key to a hunting package developed to disperse massive concentra tions of waterfowl which have shifted into this area in the past three years. Increased corn production in combina tion with large sanctuary areas, abundant water and minimal harvest, have drawn as much as 70 percent of Oregon's total wintering wa terfowl population to the Co lumbia Basin in northcentral Oregon and southcentral Washington, the department said. Also included in the total package are U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to ex pand hunting opportunity on adjacent Umatilla and Cold Springs national wildlife refuses, and a proposal to open a 25-mile portion of the Columbia River Refuge from Boardman to Arlington. Under terms of the agree ment with Boeing, the De partment of Fish and Wildlife will control the public hunting program, administer the areas open to hunting and selected for August award berous begonia blossoms now. These large waxy-appearing flowers with their dark green leaves range in brilliant shades from yellow through deep red. Most of the Gilmans' begonias are the double flow ering ones, although they have a few with single-type flowers. Along the driveway fence between their yard and that of Bob and Theta Lowe, the Gilmans have a bed of phlox, roses and petunias which is also very colorful now. It features mostly shades of Cal'sARCO announces that they will now be CAL'S MOBIL Effective Thursday, Sept. 1 PETTYJOHN OIL will be closing Heppner Mobil and will begin supplying Cal's Mobil.

The Roeing land fronts on about 12 miles of the Columbia River. Under terms of the agreement the riverfront area will be open for general hunt ing seven days a week during open waterfowl and upland bird seasons with no permit or check in-checkout require ments. Other tracts within the Boeing complex will be con trolled by permit, with check stations and hunting three or four days a week. Ralph Denney, staff gamebird biologist with the department, credits V.L. Norton and Denver Grigsby. officials with Boeing in Seat tle, Wash, for helping speed the process so the program can begin this fall. Denney will ask the Fish and Wildlife Commission to approve opening a 25-mile portion of the Columbia River Refuge to hunting when it meets to set upland bird and waterfowl season regulations on August 26. The area has been closed to waterfowl hunting since the lOs On the Boeing property, hunting will be by permit only (except for the portion bor dering the Columbia River) and hunters will check in and out of the area at checking stations. Hunter control will be enforced by State Police game officers and department employees. Safety zones will be strictly enforced, hunting areas will be shifted week by week to accommodate farm ing operations conducted bv pink Soon chrysanthemums will be blooming in that bed. Their yard features lovely Hawthorne and Mt. Ash trees In the spring the four rH Hawthornes are very lvoely when they are covered with their red blooms Mary Eleanor says that before the trees grew so large and there was less shade on that north side of their home, they had geraniums or petu nias in their flower box. But nows that the box is shaded most of the day they find the begonias do well there. Her mother. Beulah Florence, gave them their first begonia bulbs about three years ago. EAchyear they add a few new tubers to their collection. Some people are able to start plants from stem cuttings or from leaves of mature begonia plants. Dean is the yard manager, but the Gilmans work together on theTlower beds. They have lived in their present home since 1960. They and their Fairview Way neighbors have inspired each other to beautify their yards. They have all even planted trees and flowers on the north, or fairground side of their street, making it one of Heppner's most attrac tive streets. loi s fvxODii. Boeing leasees, and camping will not be permitted on the area. Denney said. It will be important for hunters to coop erate in observing all regula tions and restrictions, he emphasized, to insure that the area remains open in future years. None of the areas included in the hunting program except portions of the national wild life refuges have previously been open for public hunting. According to the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, biologists have become increasingly concerned over the past three years as the waterfowl popu lation has continued to grow in the Columbia Basin area. The area has always been impor tant for wintering waterfowl, especially mallards and Canada geese. Traditionally, the basin area has hosted about 20 percent of the state's wintering waterfowl popula tion. But during the past three years, this has increased sharply and the area now concentrates about 70 percent of the waterfowl found in the state during the winter months. More than 750.IHM) ducks have been wintering in the Columbia Basin area. The Fish and Wildlfie De partment is now developing details of the hunting pro gram, and further informa tion, maps and permit appli cation procedures will he es tablished and publicized be fore bird seasons begin in mid-October.

Agri cultural Stabilization and Conservation Service reports. Block listed general guide lines for next year's program on July 1 which permitted farmers to make preliminary planting decisions and finan cial commitments for their crop, while Congress contin ued deliberations on target price freeze proposuls. "Since legislative action on the proposed target price freeze is now before the U.S. Senate, it is up to the Congress to decide which option they want to chuise," Block said. "It is important to get this issue resolved in order to assist farmers in making their management decisions." He listed the following 1HM wheat program options: if new legislation froze the target price at $4 30 per bushel. the ucreage reduction requirement will be 25 percent and there will be a payment in kind program of in to 25 percent for farmers who di vert additional land The payment in kind compensa tion will lie HO percent of the program yield if Congress does not freeze target prices and the target prw'e automatically es calates to $4.50 per bushel, the acreage reduction require ment will be 30 percent and there will be a payment in kind program of 10 to 20 percent for farmers who di vert additional land.
