Annie Hisler, 15, Heppner,
will go to Falon eighth in the
state in barrel racing. She had
originally ended up ninth, but
was bum ped u p a notch
because Tiffanie opted not to go
to Falon.
Annie did extremely well,
considering she was only able
to go to seven rodeos. She did,
however place at five of those
rodeos in barrels and poles and
finished 14th or 15th in pole
bending in the state.
While mom, Susan, did 4-H
horses and Wranglers, basket­
ball and volleyball at Heppner
High School were her forte,
and Annie follows in her foot­
steps, spending her freshman
year at Heppner High very in­
volved in sports year-round.

With all the spring rains we
have received this year, nox­
ious weeds are showing up
everywhere. Scotch thistle and
Yellow starthistle are just two
of the 11 “A” listed weeds that
are of particular concern to the
Morrow County Weed Control
District. These two weeds have
the potential to invade pastures
and rangeland at alarming
rates. However, both are easy
to control, especially if detected
while still in small isolated pat­
ches, says Dave Pranger, dis­
trict weed control supervisor.
Another weed being con­
sidered for " A " List status by
the Weed Advisory Board is
Hoary cress, better known as
whitetop. This perennial weed
can spread by seed or horizon­
tal growth of rootstocks and
can choke out alfalfa fields if
not controlled early on. Baker
and Malheur counties have ex­
perienced sizeable economic
losses due to whitetop, which
is why landowners need to
familiarize themselves with this
and all noxious weeds.
Other “ A " listed noxious
weeds to be on the lookout for
include: Rush skeletonweed,
Tansy ragw ort, D almation
toadflax, Mediterranean sage,
Leafy spurge, Spikew eed,
Musk thistle, Purple loosestrife
and Common crupina. These
" A ” listed weeds are man­
dated for control in Morrow
County. If left uncontrolled, the
county court can order the
weed district to control them at
the landowners expense as well
as issue a citation with a max­
imum $500 fine. Enforcement
actions have been necessary
this year and will get stricter if
landowners fail to recognize
the importance of controlling
noxious weeds, says Pranger.
Landowners having prob­
lems with these weeds are urg­
ed to contact the weed district
for control recommendations.

Tips offered on how to get stains
out of baseball uniforms
How important is it to have
all the dirt and grass stains out
of the baseball uniform? Some
moms feel good if they just get
the uniform washed. But to get
all the stains out will take a lit­
tle patience, said a press release
from the Morrow County Ex­
tension Office.
For dirt and mud stains, start
by shaking off any dry soil par­
ticles, then soak overnight in
cold water. The next step is to
rinse the uniform or socks
under the cold water faucet.
Then pretreat stained areas
with heavy-duty liquid deter­
gent. Put the detergent direct­
ly on the stain and scrub the
material together.
Wash with the regular laun­
dry with heavy-duty detergent
in warm water. If the stain is
not out, the next step in bleach.
Soak no longer than 15 minutes
in a diluted solution, then rise
thoroughly and dry.
Grass stains are more work,
continued the press release.
Sponge the stain with rubbing
or denatured alcohol after
testing the fabric to be sure the
dye is fast to the alcohol.
Remove the alcohol by spong­
ing with cool water. Next, work
liquid detergent into the stain,
then rise with water.
If the stain is still visible, soak
in a mixture of one quart warm
water and one tablespoon en­
zyme product for 30 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly, then launder
in the hottest water suitable for
the fabric, with chlorine bleach
if the fiber and fabric permit.
Read the garment care label for
bleachability or test a mixture
of one teaspoon chlorine bleach
and one tablespoon of water on
an inconspicuous area of the
garment.
For questions and informa­
tion about stain removal, con­
tact the Morrow County Exten­
sion office, 676-9642, or 1 800
