Follow Fall Harvest Work
By Increasing Your Income
From Woodlands On Farm
Now that fall harvest Ii nearing completion, make plana to
harvest cah Income Irom your Jam. woodlot.
That's the suggestion of Paul N. Goodmonson, O.S.C. extension
farm woodlot marketing specialist, who point out that many alert
fsrmera are now making supplemental Income from wood lands
they are "cropping" on a sustained management basil. Most of
these farm woodlands are west of the mountains, though many
parta of eastern Oregon have much farmer owned pine and other
wooded areas.
Depending upon your location,
there la demand for everything
from hark for tanning purposes
to sawlogs, the specialist adds.
Annual farm Incomes for pro
ducts from second growth tim
ber In Western Oregon range
from $8 to $28 per acre.
Best feature of harvesting tim
ber, Goodmonson adds, is the
fact the work can be done dur
ing the montha when other farm
work is slack.
Although cropping timber
lands similar to the way culti
vated land is worked is new in
Oregon because of the hereto
fore almost unlimited forest re
source!, the practice la common
In other sections of the United
States and abroad. The day is
aged woodlots will return an an
nual Income In Oregon.
Markets are available In many
part of Orefon for piling, poles,
pulp wood, fuel, and posts as well
as for sawlogs. Size of the oper
ation makes slight difference.
The specialist cites the case of a
10-acre tract of second growth
fir located In Columbia counlv
that yielded $65.11 net per acre
the first year of managed cut
ting. The logs were sold for pulp
wood. Clear cutting second growth
stands removes all growing stock
and wastes small, unmerchant
able trees. Goodmonson points
here, however, when well man- out as his argument for estab-

Two Species Of
Trefoil Favored
In United States
Eastern New York, western
Oregon and northwestern Cali
fornia now have the most exten
sive plantings of the two chief
lotus species birdsfoot trefoil
and big trefoil, according to a
recent TSDA bulletin.
Increased Interest In thest two
crops in many sections of the
United States has stimulated de
mand for seed, much of which is
raised In Oregon. Though these
filanls have been grown in a llm
ted wav in many parts of the
United Slates and other countries
for at' least 75 years, they sel
dom have been produced on large
areas.
More specific information on
the use of big trefoil in Oregon
for pasture or hay is contained
in a recent O.S.C. experiment
station bulletin, "A Legume for
Acid Soils." Issued as station
bulletin 456. It deals with big
trefoil.
This ability of the trefoils to
grow in soils that are lime de.
' ficient has made them adaptable
! in many places where alfalfa and
other legumes do not thrive. Ine
experience In Kuropen countries
bears out observations here
that theae crops may become
more important in areas too acid
for legumes, according to the
authors of the federal bulletin.
It is issued as circular No, 625.
For pasture the trefoils are
growing in popularity because
they are disease and drouth re
sistant ajid long lived. They fur
nish succulent pasture In the dry
part of the summer In regions
where they are adapted.
County extension agent are
able to report whether trefoil is
adapted to any particular county
In Oregon, and If so, which kind
is better to use. Its feeding value
is equal to that of alfalfa.

What Da You Know?
The American people certainly
do things to the English lan
guage. Every year or so we de
velop a new greeting, or
new farewell. Such as "How's
Tricks," "Be seeing you," and a
hundred others.
But one that irks us exceed
ingly Is the greeting: "What do
you know?" And for the follow.
Ing reasons. H we try to tell the
questioner what we know, most
of It wouldn't Interest him, any
way. And It might be so little
that we would be emharassed.
Furthermore, the said questioner
Isn't Interested in what we know,
anyway. So why ask. It seems
like a rather meaningless greet
ing. Well, we know there are a lot
of things we don't know. And
one of them occurred to us a few
days ago In reading a news item.
It seems a hunter was fined 'he
wolloplng sum of $.'tn.OO for kill
ing a deer out of season, and
Illegally, down arouud (llendale.
We want In know v.hv this
fine was $.1000. while a couple

Any farmer of Douglas county
who has trouble holding the top
soil on his farm or in keeping lip
the fertility of his land may find
that the Agricultural Conserva
tion program provides the assis
tance necessary to help solve the
problem.
J. F. Bonebrake. chairman of
the Douglas County Agricultural
Conservation committee, says
the 19.V) program provides addi
tional funds for use in assisting
farmers in conserving the
nation's soil and water resources.
The limit on the amount of assis
tance to an individual farmer had
been Increased from the $71)0 for
1!M9 to $2,500 under the 19050
program.
Mr. Bonebrake said that few
farmers ever receive assistance
amounting to $2,500 and that
most farmers cooperating in the
program receive less than $100.
But this small amount of assis
tance often makes It possible for
a farmer to carry out the con
servation practices which keep
his farm from going to pieces,
and which start It on the way to
becoming a better and more pro
ductive farm.
Farmers Must 8har Cost
Because of the national interest
In conserving soil and water as
the source of the nation's food
and fiber supply, assistance is
provided under ACP to farmers
who cooperate in carrying out
soil-saving and soil-building pra
ctices. Cooperating farmers have
to put up their share of the cost
of conserving practices. The av
erage is about 50 percent of the
"out-pf-pockel" cost of practice.
Through this program farmers
and all the people, through the
government, share In protecting
the soil against erosion, in con
serving water, and in building up
the productivity of the land so
that the nation may continue to
enjoy a balanced abundant pro
duction. In this way. farmers are help
ing to strengthen the nation a
protect the wcL.ue m us people,
as well as to make their own life
on the farm more secure, M r.
Bonebrake said.
Oregon's Meat, Milk Output
Fails To Meet Demands Of
State's Growing Population
Oregon's output of meat and milk scarcely equals stale needs
now that the population has Increased one-half sine prewar. That
is a general conclusion to be drawn from facts and figures In the

For Beit
Price Prospects
For Turkeys This
eSason Uncertain
The price outlook for turkevs
this fall is a mixed one, C. W.
Norton, manager of the North
west Poultry and Dairv Products
company, told some 175 turkey
growers who attended the tenth
annual meeting of the Oregon
Turkey Improvement associanon
at O.S.C.
Despite the large turkey crop
this year, Norton believes there
will be a gradual price rise as
the Thanksgiving market a p
proaches. He thinks the hnlidav
market in general will bring 45
to 47 cents net to growers for
hens and 35 to 37 cents fot toms.
Disturbing factors. however,
are the threatened large scale
strikes In the east and the un
certainty caused by devaluing
the English pound sterling and
the Canadian dollar. This mav
work against higher turkey
prices, Norton suggested.
The association asked for con
tinued government price sun
ports for turkeys as long as other
commodities are supported, and
objected to the present support
policy of penalizing heaw toms.
The association also wants the
I'SDA to report on number of
breeder hens to he carried over
by around Thanksgiving, and
also wants the National Turkey
federation to meet In Oregon
next year. W. R. Schwedler,

to aid producers in planning their
production and marketing opera
tions. There are sections on the
feed supply situation, dairy pro
ducts, beef cattle, hogs, and
sheep. Several charts and tables
of data are included to show
trends in prices, production and
consumer demand.
Meat animals (cattle, hogs and
sheep) and dairy production ac
count for about two-fifths of Ore
gon's cash receipts from farm
marketings. Currently, the state
is close to a balance on milk and
beef with a heavy deficit I n
hogs, but still has some seasonal
surplus of lambs.
The three Pacific coast states to
gether are short on dairy pro
duction, beef and hogs, with not
much if any surplus of Iambs.
The seven far western states pro
duce a large surplus of the
lambs, however.
While lambs move eastward to
market, some beef, much pork,
and considerable dairy products
reach Pacific coast markets
from beyond the Idaho-Utah-Ne-vada-Arizona
area. The seven
state total output of lambs In
1948 was almost one-fourth of
the national total. But of beef it
was 10.1 percent, of pork only 2.1
percent, ana oi milK 9.8 percent,
against 11.1 percent of the V. S.
population.
Feed is basic In the long .
term outlook, the report points
out. Nationally, feed supplies are
of record proportion for the 1949
50 feeding season In relation to
animal numbers. Huge supplier
of corn and other feeds are avail
able in the corn-belt states.
Thus, despite the great In
crease in Pacific coast market
demands, competition from mid
west producers is a factor in the
outlook. In addition to the abund
ance and cost of feeds, trans
portation rates and other mar
keting charges enter in.
The report raises this question:
With what products can Oregon
producers compete best against
midwestern meat and milk pro
ducts in Pacific coast Tmarkets
over the years ahead?
