Idaho, has recently received a few species at her lab and will be rear ing them for release soon It is just this type o f program which holds the most promise for control o f the RWA The Extension office is mapping RWA activity in Morrow County Anyone who finds this pest, or suspects he has found it. on wheat or barley is encouraged to call Fred 1.undin at 676 9M 2 More inform« lion is available on this pest at the Extension office Justice Court Report The Justice Court office at the courthouse annex in Heppner reports handling the follow ing business dur ing the past week Starla Rac C oy .
