The objective of the Talent ed and Gifted Program is to insure that academically tal ented students have educa tional experiences that are challenging, rewarding and appropriate for their abilities, explained Cerullo. "The program is designed to offer special education oppor tunities to those students whose needs are not met in regular class time because of special abilities, talents and interests." he continued. To meet those special needs, the program consists of indiv Livestock growers band together to solve knapweed problem By STEVE CAMPBELL OSV Extension Agent. Morrow County Diffuse knapweed is a severe problem on Morrow County rangeland and is hav ing a definite economic im pact in certain areas. An introduced species originating in Russia, knapweed has no natural control in this country and artificial methods of con trol are just beginning to be defined. Rangeland which is covered by the plant can have reductions in forage produc tion of up to 80 percent. This is equivalent to losing four acres out of every five ! Faced with this prospect, the livestock producers in Southwestern Morrow County and adjacent areas in Gilliam County, have organized a group effort to control the further spread of knapweed onto their grazing land. Mor row County Livestock and Range extension agent, Steve Campbell, and Soil Conserva tion Service supervisor. Bob Adelman, are assisting with the project. The intention is to provide control of plants in the project area while supporting a research program geared Penant bearers already preparing for Morrow County's annual event rim H i h " D.4 W i . 1 L .

There is also a recognition banquet, which is held annual ly to acknowledge high achievers. At the present, courses that have been designed to offer greater challenges to those who have the ability to handle the materials include pre-col-lege English, biology III, physics, pre-calculus and Spanish III and IV. Currently, there are also four independent English pro erams under Cerullo's super toward discovering more per manent methods of knapweed control. Control is stressed rather than eradiction, as there are large areas of the Columbia Basin so heavily infested with knapweed that elimination is not economical ly practical with present tech nology. Eighteen growers; Steve Campbell and Bob Costa of the Extension office. Bob Adel man of SCS. Bob Lee of the State Highway Dept., and Dan Shultz of the State Forestry Dept.. attended an organiza tional meeting January 11 in Heppner. Oregon State Uni versity Extension Range specialist. Tom Bedell, who spent two days visiting sites in the proposed control area . was in attendance and offered his analysis of the proposed pro ject. He felt that possibilities for control were very good if the control efforts were tied to long term range improvement practices and if the producers in the area of interest continue to work together as a unit. In addition to herbicide treat ments. Tom Bedell suggested reseeding the poorer condition ranee areas, good grazing management to maintain the AAorrow Co.

He also noted that knapweed is invad ing the poorer range sites which have been historically overgrazed. The following proposals were taken for action by the producers involved: 1( Total extent of infestation will be mapped by Steve Campbell on an aerial photo graph and catagorized as to level of infestation. 2 Current literature on the subject will be reviewed by Bob Adelman and Steve Campbell and a synopsis pro vided. 3 A research budget will be worked up by Tom Bedell and provided to the group so that funding may be obtained. 4 A five member commit tee will meet and determine the most practical control method, or methods, to em ploy. 5) An estimate of total pro gram costs (chemicals, appli cation, livestock manage ment, and forage improve ment) will be worked out by the committee in cooperation with SCS and Extension.

They may be one crop or everbearing. One crop varieties produce on the second year canes. Pruning mav be done in the early spring or fall. If fruit is on the end of the cane it indicates that the cane would produce the next year.

Thev must be protect ed during the winter months bv laving them on the ground and covering them with mulch. Berries should be planted in an area protected from the wind and in deep well-drained soil. They should be watered regularly. It is bet ter not to plant them where tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, strawberries or pigweed have been growing, the spokesper son said. Gooseberries and currants also grow well in this area. Thev should be planted in good soil and partial shade. Goose berries may have mildew or a small white worm in the berries. The worm may be controlled by spraying for the flv that lays the eggs.
