THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1968 PAGE THIRTEEN THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON Renewed Interest Shown In East-Oregon Soybeans OWEN O. BERRETT He was recently selected by Brigham Young university in Provo, Utah as recipient of a scholarship for the 1968-69 academic year. The scholarship is presented in recognition of academic achievement, quali ties of character and leader ship. Owen was salutatorian of the NHS 1965 graduating class, and during his four years of high school carried a rigorous load of subjects. While a junior, he received the Bausch and Lomb honorary science award, and attended the Junior Engineer and Scientist summer institute. He was vice president of his senior class and served on other committees during his school term. The scholarship recipient is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Berrett of route 2, Nyssa. ADRIAN NINE RELINQUISHES STATE TITLE Crow high school, backed by sharp relief pitching of Mike Maley, won the Oregon Class B baseball championship Thurs day with a 5-4 victory over Adrian. The Cougars scored four runs in the third inning to overcome Adrian’s early 2-0 lead. Maley pitched the final four periods of the sevep-inning game and allowed only one run. Adrian loaded the bases in the last inning, but a double play ended the rally. Bill Skogan and G. B. Con- dra were on the mound for the Antelopes, with Dan Cutler be hind the plate. Renewed research interest is being shown in soybeans in Eastern Oregon. Dr. J. Ritchie Cowan, head of Oregon State University’s farm crops department, says tests have indicated that extremely high yields of quality soybeans can be produced in the irrigated areas around Ontario. “This year, preliminary soy bean trials also will be held at OSU’s Experiment Stations near Hermiston and Moro to see how well the protein-rich legume produces in those different cli matic areas,” he added. OSU agronomist Luther Fitch reveals, “In tests conducted be tween 1958 and 1964, then- record yeilds of 3,300 to 3,600 pounds of soybeans per acre were obtained at the Malheur Experiment Station near Ontario.” The record U.S. average yield, established in 1966, is about 1,525 pounds. “Recently,” Fitch notes, “top soybean producers in the Midwest have achieved yields exceeding 3,000 pounds per acre. But with newly developed cultural methods and increased research, it seems likely that Oregon could improve on its previous record.” Soybean production advan tages in the test areas include warm days and nights during the growing season, and rela tively high supplies of carbon dioxide in the air. In addition, somewhat larger bean sizes were produced in the Ontario tests. Cowan and Fitch observe that soybeans are not presently grown in Eastern Oregon be cause they arp not competitive with such alternative crops as alfalfa seed, wheat, sugarbeets and potatoes. Also, soybeans must be processed, and a processing plant is not pres ently available. “However,” they point out, “there are some signs that the situation maybe changing. Many observers feel that an increase in soybean prices is inevitable with the growing world need for protein-rich foods.” Varieties slated for testing in the OSU trials include Merit, which appears the most pro mising for Eastern Oregon con ditions. Among the problems It’s Your Law! NU ACRES HAPPENINGS ” BY BARBARA HOWARD to be studied are moisture timing, virus diseases and in sect damage. An investigation of the use of growth regulating hormones also is planned. It is expected that the trials will reconfirm the need for special attention to seed inoculation — a must for good soybean yields in Eastern Oregon.

PERSONALS - NOT HARDER LITTLE POM - PONS OF COTTON FLUFF STRUNG LIKE BEADS are now available by the yard. Mrs. Dorothy' Brown, Oregon State Univer- sity Extension home furnishings specialist, suggests ways you can use them and thereby join the “Work Smarter Not Harder” society. Hang a row of the “strings” to make a room divider or cur tains. The company that manu factures them also makes rods, ring clips and a special tape which may be used to hang a series of strings of the balls. You might say this is a modern version of the old portier cur tain. No sewing is necessary when using the pom-pons, since they will not ravel. Available in many colors, they can give a lift to your decor and are also washable. Other uses are trimming win dow shades, wastebaskets, lamp shades and pillows. The balls may be attached with needle and thread, staples, glue or double-faced masking tape. * * * IS IT SAFE TO STORE OPENED FRUIT IN THE CAN? Marie Tribble, Oregon State University’s extension nu tritionist says “yes,” but keep it in the refrigerator. Also, it’s advisable to cover the con tainer. Reconstituted frozen juice concentrates should also be covered. However, glass or plastic containers are prefer red for juices because tin cans may impart a metallic flavor. Opened jars of preserved fruit products such as jellies, jams and preserves need re frigeration to keep the food from spoiling. WORK SMARTER - NOT HARDER HOW TO LOSE AUTO INSURANCE When Jack’s insurance agent called last week to tell him his automobile insurance had been cancelled, Jack was mad. “How can I drive my car now? 1 need it for work.” “You can still get insurance, Jack,” his agent replied. “Your record isn’t bad enough to make you totally ineligible. I can arrange for ‘assigned risk’ insurance for you.” “What’s ‘assigned risk’ insurance"’ “ ‘Assigned risk’ insur ance,” he explained, “is auto mobile liability insurance you can apply for if you are unable to obtain regular insurance. You can apply for it through your regular insurance agent. All companies who write insur ance in Oregon distribute the applications equitably.” “How much is it going to cost me?” Jack wanted to know. “It will cost you more, Jack. People like you with poor driving records pay a graduated surcharge. But there is no sur charge for drivers who have had no accidents or convictions during the preceding three years.” “Why do insurance com panies reject certain drivers?” Jack asked. “They do it for various rea sons. Some drivers repeatedly disregard the law. Young drivers who think nothing of getting tickets for squirreling, running stop signs, speeding, etc. are often in this group. Of course, drivers who are older in years, but equally im mature, are likewise rejected. “A few are rejected for driving while intoxicated or for some other serious offense. “Your problem, Jack, is a common one. You have simply been involved in too many acci dents recently. “1 hope you have learned a lesson. If you improve your driving now and let the sur charge be your reminder, you will be able to have normal insurance again in a few years. If you don’t you may become such a bad risk that you be come ineligible for even ■assigned risk’ insurance. Just one more ticket for some drivers puts them in this situation.” BRIDES -- YOUR NEW BRIGHT COLORED BATH TOWELS might be a laundry problem at first. Colors are likely to run. To remove excess dye, wash them separately from other clothes. Use hot water with just a little detergent and repeat the treatment until the rinse water runs clear.
