Maybe it's from a blow to the head resulting from a back flip
off my horse or else time spent picking strawberries has let too
much blood rush to the brain. Whatever the cause, it's difficult
to go along with some current proposals.
Now they're talking about government regulations on televi­
sion programing and forcing companies to put controls on sets
that could lock out certain programs. Whatever happened to self­
regulation? If people didn't watch or permit families to watch
violent or lewd programs, they would soon lose their market
share.
Remember when it was a hot topic about banning certain
publications? Yet filth and pornography continue to exist because
greedy publishers can still find a market. Like neighborhood crime
watch cooperation, it takes the consensus of moral citizens to
make this world better for everyone.
Some large cities are now imposing teenage curfews to cut
down on street crimes. But if parents aren't home, can't those
teenagers invoke just as much havoc from their homes? Parents
unable to assume full-time responsibility lose control and socie­
ty pays. Those street kids would be better off placed in a super­
vised work camp where a work ethic and schooling could be in­
stilled. Let the billions of dollars spent by environmentalists
work for them by cleaning up forests, restoring riparian zones
or cleaning up creeks. Youthful energy could be diverted from
vandalism and crime.
What's happening to the free enterprise system when it comes
to this county's health care system? Unlike other professions,
health care workers seem to feel they must be guaranteed a salary
rather than a percentage of profit based on work. While we are
blessed with great health care providers, as the numbers climb,
how much can the taxpayers afford?
How did we ever exist before there were medical services in
every town and first responders to take care of medical emergen­
cies? No doubt some lives have been saved, but 1 don't remember
growing up and worrying that someone might die because it was
60 miles to the nearest hospital.
Unlike those with guaranteed salaries, my heart goes out to
producers who suffered major losses during the recent hail storm.
That storm wasn't of the magnitude of the St. Helens 1980
disaster nor the heat-killing weather that has impacted the mid­
west and south, but with the increasing production costs, the
loss of a once-a-year income can be very devastating.
While we can't control nature's storms, we can make a dif­
ference in maintaining the social and moral fiber upon which this
country was built. The July summer program for youngsters here
in our own community is just one positive way to enrich young
people's lives through organized supervision.

Barley stripe rust sighted in Oregon
The first barley stripe rust
sighting in Oregon has been
reported to Pat Hayes, an
Oregon State University
Agricultural Experiment Sta­
tion plant geneticist, and he is
ready for the attack with some
specially designed stripe rust-
resistant barley.
Stripe rust 24, a wind-borne
fungus that affects only barley,
has been swirling toward
Oregon from South America,
where it arrived from Europe in
1975. Yield losses in commer­
cial crops in South America
ranged from 30-70 percent.
When it was reported in
Texas in 1991, Colorado in 1992
and in California and Idaho in
1993, Hayes and others knew
that it was only a matter of time
before it landed on Oregon
barley crops.
OSU crop scientist Chris
Mundt has found barley in­
fected with stripe rust in his ex­
perimental plots at Hyslop
Farm, an OSU facility near Cor­
vallis. He is growing wheat for
his research, but intersperses
barley plots to act as barriers
against wheat diseases.
"Chris had a very limited
number of barley plots there,
of plant for the disease to take
off."
The varieties of spring barley
grown commercially in the
Pacific Northwest are all
susceptible to stripe rust 24.
The fungus thrives when the
temperatures are cool and
rainy. Hayes said that the pre­
sent temperature range in
Klamath Falls is a good exam­
ple of ideal stripe rust weather.

Hayes. "It was very obvious
where the spores had fallen
from the sky and landed on
these plots."
The stripe rust, also knovm
as yellow rust, looks like lines
of yellow-orange spots along
the length of a barley leaf. Ac­
cording to Hayes, the barley in
Mundt's plots were young and
lush, which is more vulnerable
to the rust than old plants that
have very little green tissue.
