r.c n -R0SEBUR5 NEWS'-REViEW.- RDSEBURg, PRESON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER' 2 f, 1947 Western Packers Oppose Oyster Content Increase WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. CP) rThe Washington congressional delation will ask the lood and drug administration n6t to com pel western packers to Increase the oyster content of lOounce cans ol cooked oysters. The administration ordered that effective Nov. 29 the oyster content of the cans be increased form 51 ounces to 61 ounces, after cooking. The western pack ers contend enforcement of the ruling will ruin their business. They told the administration in a brief that to get 61 ounces of western oyster meat Into the cans will require them to cram nine ounces into the can before cooking. The cooking process ' with so much oyster, they say, will turn the oysters brown and cause them not to be acceptable to the public. They contend that while the western oyster shrinks tn the cooking process the smaller east ern and southern oyster gains weight. This characteristic dif ference they say makes It unfair to apply the same rule to yes tern oys'ers as is applied to eastern and southern oysters. The Washington House dele gation decided to ask the ad ministration not to enforce the ruling and at least give tne west ern packers another hearing to enable them to present scientific testimony to support their contentions.

Nov. 20. UP) Leonard C.

This isn't as simple as it sounds. To pre-log efficiently meant devising special new and mobile logging equipment. However, the effort is justified it the re covery of many cords per acre of good clean material, highly desirable in the manufacture of sulphite or sulphate pulp. . Pre-logging nri into the method of "block" harvesting as used in the Douglas fir region, wherf forest lands are clearcut in I patchwork pattern, leaving blocks of seed trees as a source of regeneration. This is all part of the cycle of growth, harvest arid regfowth knowd as Tree Farming. Vi'eyerhaeuser's use of the pre-logging method is another step toward more complete utilization of the timber crop; toward placing the industry on a permanent basis; toward pro viding job stability.

"Why, I thought all those folks had been dead for 20 years or so," Mrs. Wilson answered. But Mrs. Ellis assured that the report was true.- Last winter, when W. E. Ellis was visiting Airs.
