Wheat growers change USDA
The disastrous decline of wheat
prices caused three Oregon wheat
growers to call on USDA officials
to either confirm or deny charges of
“ favoritism” on the other classes of
wheat exported from the United
States.
The wheat group called on Paul
Dickerson, general sales manager of
the USDA Commodity Credit Cor
poration, who coordinates PL480.
Export Enhancem ent Program
tEEP), and other USDA credit sales.
Members of the group were
Wesley Grilley, executive vice presi
dent of the Oregon Wheat Growers
League (OWGL), Don Peterson,
lone farmer and past president of the
OW GL and Ben Holdm an,
Pendleton farmer and chair of the
National Association of Wheat
G row ers F utures M arketing
Committee.
According to the wheat group,
Dickerson stated, “ without reserva
tion, there is no preference placed on
any class of wheat by the USDA.”
Dickerson also explained that the
market drop that has occurred in the
PNW was from “ pure market reac
tion” stating that India had a bumper
crop last year and is anticipating
another good crop.
The USDA official also stated that
Pakistan has a USDA credit
authorized for $40 million for the
purchase of wheat that is equivalent
to some 250,000 metric tons, which
they have not used.
Grilley said they called on the Em
bassy of Pakistan and confirmed the
USDA credit Pakistani officials said
they were waiting the outlook of
their own wheat crop before they
utilized the purchase credit. The
harvest estimate in Pakistan could
likely be in April, according to
Grilley.
Egypt is also a large white wheat
with favortism
Proper maintenance helps septic system
buyer, but they are in arrears from
previous allocations. Additional
allocations from the United States
are not available until the credit pro
blem is resolved.
“ It’s frustrating,” said Grilley,
“ but we returned from Washington,
D.C., convinced that market forces
are actually working and that the
USDA is fully aware o f our
precipitous market situation.”
Oregon produces soft white wheat
used in Asian countries for noodles,
cookies, and baked products. In
Egypt and other countries, Oregon’s
soft white wheat is used for non-
lea vened breads, such as pocket
bread.
Proper maintenance, including
regular pumping, is the best way to
insure your septic system works pro
perly, points out Carol Bennett,
OSU Extension agent in Morrow
County.
Some people have purchased ex
pensive biological or chemical ad
ditives to use in their septic systems
to aid or accelerate decomposition of
solids in the septic tank, but the ad
ditives aren't necessary and don’t
eliminate the need for pumping.
The septic tank is only one part of
an on-site wastewater system. The
tank removes and stores solids to

the system should be cared for, Ex
tension water quality specialists have
prepared a series of four publications
with support from a Farmer Home
Administration grant.
Persons interested may contact the

of the publications called ‘‘Why Do

Baker County will be the site of
the 1990 4-H Family Photography
Weekend April 20, 21 and 22 accor
ding to Bill Broderick, Oregon State
University Extension agent in Mor

This is the first time the weekend
has been held in Eastern Oregon and
the first time it has been held away
from the Oregon 4-H Center, adds
Lyla Houglum, OSU Extension 4-H
and youth specialist.
“ We hope the move will en
courage participation by 4-H
members and their families who live
east of the Cascades and introduce
Western Oregon 4-H families to a
part of the state with which they may
not be familiar,” Houglum said.
“ Baker County 4-H members and
their leaders have planned an ex
citing weekend for everyone atten
ding.”
Although many attending the
weekend will be enrolled in 4-H
Photography projects, the event is
open to all 4-H members and their
fam ilies with an interest in
photography. Broderick stresses.
Instructors will work with par
ticipants on such topics as wildlife
photography, action photos, land
scape photography, special effects,
and video. Heart of the program will
be a tour of the Sumpter Valley on
Saturday.
A special feature will be two ses
sions taught by Joan Wood, Foster,
for parents and leaders. She will in
troduce them to basic photography
terms and techniques as well as ac
quaint the adults with the resources
available to help with 4-H
photography projects.
John Pickett, Canby, is chairing
the weekend. Bill Shumway,
Bridgeport, Oregon’s 1989 delegate
to National 4-H Congress in
photography, is in charge or local
arrangements.
Instructors, many of them profes
sional photographers and teachers
will be Jim Mischel, Amity; Jay
Carr, Don Mires and Bill Pickens,
all of Baker City; Janie Tippitt,
Joseph; Ed Barton LaGrande; Scott
W ebb, Salem; Glenn B arber,
Tillamook; Shumway and Wood.
Serving on the planning commit
tee with Pickett and Shumway are
Diane Smith, Corvallis, state 4-H
program assistant; Yvonne Yeager,
Lebanon; Keith Falkenberg, Oregon
City; Patty Logan, Sublimity;
Mischel, Barber and Webb.
Cost for those attending the full
weekend which will be head
quartered in the Baker County office
of the OSU Extension Service, 2610
Grove St. Baker City, is $30 per per
son for the weekend or $25 for those
attending Saturday only.
Copies of the complete program,
plus registration information, is
available from the Morrow County
Extension office in Heppner
protect the soil absorption system.
Garbage disposals aren’t recom
mended because of the additional
soil loads they put on the system.
Their use requires more frequent
pumping of the septic tank.
To keep a septic system working
properly solids must be removed
periodically from the septic tank to
protect the soil absorption or
leaching field. This means pumping
every 1 to 5 years depending on use,
tank size and number of people in the
household.
