Oregon's state border inform a­
tion centers increased during the
month of August according to the
latest State Highway Division
figures.
Victor B Fryers, state travel
information director, reported
there were 3 4 percent more
visitors hosted by the six centers
last month than were registered
in August, 1973 He also noted
that for the tourist season this
year. May through August, that
the figures were down the same
3.4 per cent from those of ttje
corresponding period a year age
Fryer pointed out that when
compared with the five centers
that were open in 1972, this
year's figures showed a 16.6 per
cent decline.
Other reports indicate August
was a particularly busy month
for visitor-serving facilities in
some areas of the state with in­
dications pointing toward an up­
surge in the number of Ore­
gonian "tou rists.” Visitor ex­
penditures also continued to
show an increase according to
some business reports
The stale port-of-entry visitor
information centers are located
at Astoria. Brookings. Klamath
Falls, Ontario. Portland and the
Siskiyou near Ashland.
A new store is open on Bridge
C a l l e d "The Collectibles” , it
is under the ownership of enter­
prising Juanita Burkholtz who
said. “ I had some health pro­
blems and decided to take up
collecting as a hobby.” I didn't
really mean to go into business
at all ”
Location in the f o r m e r
Fisher’s Electric Store, the shop
is open from 9 a m to 9 p.m
each weekday and on Saturday
and offers a wide variety of
glassware, knick-knacks, anti­
ques and, of course, dolls, which
keep Juanita busy as she cleans,
paints and makes their fash­
ionable clothing.
“ I look all over for my dolls,"
she said. “ I find them in junk
shops, at rummage sales, swap
meets, just about every place,
although they’re scarce at th rift
shops," she commented
"The dolls can be a real
challenge. So many of them have
been mistreated and n e e d
cleaning, repairing, a n d re­
painting before I can begin to
dress them Most of them need
new hair too so I have to find
wigs for them but i t ’s a lot of fun
and I enjoy it.”
Juanita has discovered that
there is a lot of fun in being in
business also. So much so, that
she has tentatively decided to
open another shop in the Port-
land-area under the manage­
ment of her daughter “ I think
she’ll enjoy it too,” Juanita said
“ 1 hope my dolls w ill bring as
much enjoyment to children, as
well as those who collect dolls, as
they have to m e.” she concluded,
“ because that's why I like to
refashion them, so they’ll make
someone happy.”

Planting Now
" I f you'd like to reforest the

time to start planning," accord­

the Department of Forestry's

Elkton.
"Forest seedlings are sold on a
first come, first served basis,"
.says Ray, "so now is the time to
begin deciding whal species of
trees and elevation type you
need Harvesting season begins

The thought of re-entry into

Office Skills Brush-Up, course
number SS 9.701, w ill meet from
1 to 3 daily beginning September

is a non-credit course and the
tuition is $20 for four weeks
One of the things that makes
this course unique and partic­
ularly suitable for women who
learned their business skills
some lime ago is that it builds on
what the individual woman a l­
ready knows. " I work with each
person individually,” says in­
structor Lucretia Claunch, “ re­
building her skill in whatever
system of shorthand she or­
iginally learned, teaching her to
use an electric typewriter, to
type from a dictating machine,
and to use modern business ma-
chines-all at her own pace. No
one can really lose her skills, and
a few weeks in a class like this
can do wonders for a woman’s
abilities, as well as for her self
confidence.”

Hay Then and Now
While hay has always been an
important commodity for d a iry­
men and livestock producers,
recent events have changed
many aspects of hay making,
handling, and feeding
Hay handling developments of
Ihe past have been aimed pri
m arily at easing the laborious
job of handling this bulky crop.
Increased values, particularly in
relation Io other crops, have
directed some attention Io bet­
ter protection to a crop once
produced For example, up to
I his lim e Eastern and Central
Oregon producers have not fell
that damage occurring Io the top
of slacks justified any protec­
tion. Now that area is becoming
dotted with new hay storage
sheds protecting stacked bales
from weather damage.
Concern for problems of grow­
ing. handling and marketing has
resulted in Ihe formation of an
Oregon Hay Grower's Associa­
tion with growers belonging by
districts. Currently districts are
active in Central Oregon, the
Hermiston area, and this spring
Ihe Klamath Basin Hay Growers
organized In addition Io pub­
lishing a regular market report
on hay, the two year old As­
sociation provides a hay locator
service for anyone having hay to
sell or wanting to purchase hay.
Looking back at hay prices for
the past 70 years provides an
inieresting picture First noted
is that up to 1939 all hay price
quotations were for loose hay.
Then for a period quotations
were provided on both loose and
baled hay with the differential
starling out at about $3 per ton
but soon stabilizing at a d if­
ference of about $5. By 1949
quotations for loose hay dis­
appeared and that form of com­
modity has seldom been m ar­
keted since.
Except for the war years of
1917-1920 and in 1929 the price of
all hay averaged below $12 per
Ion and was often considerably
less. With World War II year of
1942. prices started to climb,
went above $20 per ton in 1943
and have remained so since In
recent years prices have gen­
erally been in the $30 to $40 range
although there have been ex­
ceptions.
During all of these years the
relationship between the price
of hay and feed grains has been
fa irly constant with the value of
2'2 to 3 tons of hay equalling the
cost of a ton of barley. Today
that spread is much hess with 11
Io 2 tons of hay equalling the
value of a ton of barley.
Unlike many products or com­
modities. hay is almost always
an item of unknown quality. A
good green color is associated
with quality but color is no
assurance that the crop has high
feed value A crop that is har­
vested at an imm ature stage
gives the best assurance of
quality but once harvested and
baled i t ’s difficult (o determine
growth stage at Ihe lime of cut­
ting Unless the crop has good
p a y a b ility , it w ill be of little
value for livestock feed regard­
less of color, m aturity, or other
factors
Chemical analysis of a crop of
hay gives reasonable assurance
of the feed value and is a man­
agement tool more farm op­
erators need to be following to
assure adequate animal n u tri­
tion and to make possible com­
pensation for any adequacies
Special information sheets and
sample boxes for submitting hay
samples for testing are available
al county Extension Offices.
