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

by the yard. Mrs. Dorothy'
Brown, Oregon State Univer-

specialist, suggests ways you
can use them and thereby join
the “Work Smarter Not

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

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.”
