This statement Is made by O. S. C, extension forecaster, Charles R. Ross, who points out that woodland owners in the state number close to 45.000. He says 63 per cent of Oregon's privately owned forests reserves are owned by individuals with holdings of less than 5,000 acres each. Farmer owners of woodlands play important roles in the timber picture, Ross emphasizes. In west ern Oregon, for example, there is an average of close to 4u oeres of wood for each farm. Many other small acreage timber own- cre are local businessmen, city workers living .In the country, and various otner investors. From a national standpoint 4,000,000 persons in the United states own a piece oi woouiana wnicn contains less man sou acres. Together these small acreage timber owners control 200,000,000 acres of forest. That is 60 per cent of all the privately onwed forest land in this country, Ross adds. Profits Now Forseen Meanwhile, a change is taking place in the minds of the smali forest property owners, Ross states. Prior to about 1940, few farmers, for instance, saw any thing but a pasture and wood reservoir in their woodlots. They felt it did not pay to try to sell small trees, and it took two life times to grow salable timber. A sweeping change in viewpoint is now taking place, Ross ob serves, and present day woodland owners are seeking income from their trees. Nowadays they are talking knowingly of poles, saw- logs, pulpwood and luel markets. Future markets for woodland products are bound to increase with second growth timber be coming more valuable as the re sult of inroads on the stands of old growth forests. The day when farmers can receive an annual "cash crop" from their woods is not too far distant, Ross concludes. Ranchers in Arizona Treble Order for Rain TUCSON, Ariz. UP) Ari zona ranchers are placing orders for rain on their ranges next summer. A dozen cattlement met with C. S. Barnes of Phoenix and asked him to systematically in crease by three times the rainfall which normally falls on their land. - Barnes 'said ' he would use a plane from which vapor-laden clouds would be sprayed with a mixture of silver iodine and other chemicals to produce rain. The area in which it is planned to cause precipitation lies be tween the Santa Rita and Babo quivari mountains and extends from just south of Tucson to the Mexican border. Barnes will fly a minimum of 60 hours over the area between June 15 and Sept. 30. Home of Circus Giants , Will be Torn Down MEDINA, 0,,im Plans are being made to raze one of near by Sevcille's oddest landmarks, a 14-room mansion built 70 years ago to fit two circus giants. The curious old home was con structed for Capt. Martin Van Rates nnd his wife. Anna. Both wore nearly eight feet tall and weighed more than 400 pounds, they were ballvhooed throughout the world by the late P. T. Barn urn artd Bates once was given a gold watch by Queen Victoria oi England. Doorways in the home are 10 feet high and the ceiling from 12 in 14 feet. Several fireDlaces are trimmed with imported Ital ian marble. The nresent occuoants. Mr. and Mrs. John Bauer and their three children, find the rooms too big and the house too hard to heat. Bates' wife died in 188b and he in 1919. Legend has it that the root of the mandrake plant was used by God to put- Adam to sleep when He made Eve out of one of Ad am's ribs.

P. Ewalt, O. S. C. extension dairy man. In Oregon now, there are ap proximately 245,000 dairy ani mals. Meanwhile, Ewalt points out that as late as 1943 there were 290.000 head. In the prewar year, 1940, there were 262,000 dairy cows on Oregon farms. The extension dairyman states Sffi-iWii-' I ??,9'fc.

Jockjon St there are now fewer cows In the state than there have been any time during the past 14 years. There are also fewer yearling heiters than at any time during this same period. This fact in dicates that herd replacements are going to be more difficult to obtain in the future, Ewalt states. Along the same line he says dairy calf numbers ait! low. In fact, the calf population is lower now than at any time since 1942. Highor Costs Blamed Reasons for the decline in dairy cow numbers are related to con ditions brought about by the war, including scarcity and high cost of trained dairy workers. Ewult states that high prices for other types of farm products such as seeds and grains brougnt about a shift from cows to other types or agriculture, wnn ieeu cosis ' high, coupled with attractive meat prices, more rigid culling of low producing animals took place. As a result of this culling, Ewalt says the average production per animal in the state has shown a considerable jump, although there are not enough of these" better animals to supply current milk needs. For the best Interests of the Oregon dairy industry, Ewalt NOW IN STOCK NASON PAINTS at W. M. Sandall's says dairymen need more than ever before to use good sires, to test for production and to save more good calves as steps to ward having high producing disease-free herds two, three or four years from now. Do not depend Uxn other dairymen for replace-. ments, they might be using scrub bulls, Ewalt advises. , -A. Millinery Dept-2nd Floor
