Eastern Firm Promotes Processing Of Fir Bark Oregon Farmers Use 4,500,000 Posts A Year It's a lot of fence posts any way you look at It. Charles R. Ross, Oregon State College extension farm foresty spe cialist, says the U. S. Forest Serv ice has come up with a figure that Oregon farmers use 4,500.000 new wood fence posts annually. This does not include a sizable amount of small timbers used for corrals, bridges and other on-the-farm uses. Here's a breakdown of tree var ieties which furnish the posts. In addition to split red or Incense cedar which provide approximate ly one-half the total, juniper yields 750,000; pondcrosa pine, 450,000; lodgepole pine, 330,000; larch, 360,- PRUDENTIAL LIFE Insurance HORACE C. BERG Special Agent lit West Oak Offlca 3-7491 R.i. 1-7195 OREGON STATE COLLEGE A milestone in the research pro gram of the Oregon forest prod ucts laboratory was reached when Gov. Douglas McKay penned his name to an agreement between the State Board of Forestry and the M. W. Kellogg Co., Jersey City, N. J. the eastern company won an option contract, covering the Kurth bark extraction process developed by Dr. E. F. Kurth. chemist at the laboratory, which Is located on the Oregon State College campus. This process permits the recov ery of three commercial valuable chemicals wax, dihydroquerce tin, and tannin from Douglns-fir bark which usually is left to litter Oregon's forests. According to Paul M. Dunn, OSC dean of forestry and laborat ory director, this will be the first time that a license has been Issued to practice under an Oregon state owned patent. A similar deal will be offered the Canadian Forest Products, Ltd., Vancouver, B. C, for Canadian rights. Summarized, the option agree ment covers an eight-month inves tigative period, and may be fol lowed by an 18-month pilot plant stage, and then an exclusive pro. duclion contract for a fiye-year period. The agreement provides for an initial payment of $2,000 within 15 days after signing of the contract. During the eight-month Investiga tive period, the company will make market and quality studies. All factors being equal, the Kel logg Co. agreed to use raw ma terials from Oregon and to locate the commercial plants, if and when built, in Oregon, Dean Dunn added. Wax from Douglas-fir bark has been found by the National Bureau 000; Douglas fir, 240.000; and Oregon white oak, 100.000. Ross estimates that hall tne fence posts produced are grown in farm and small woodlands. Al most 9 out of 10 posts that go into the ground are untreated wood. A principal reason for lack of treat ment is that split cedar does not lend itself well to home treatment and will usually last 10 to 12 years without it.

WE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD You are going to hear the expression "We never had It so good" a great many times during the next four months. It will sound highly convincing from some and unreasonable from others, depending on which side expresses the ex pression. Pres. Truman parroted the sentiment last week at a "dam" celebration and reminded us all not to forget how we got that way. It is certainly im portant that we don't forget, loo. In 1929, before the big de pression got under way, two thirds of the income earned bv Califnrnians alone would have paid the hill for Giivment spend ing. (That was called extrava gant by the party then out of power). In the fiscal year ending a week ago today, the story was much different. Had you gath ered ALL the money earned by ALL the people in the western half of the U.S., and handed it to Mr. Truman, he couldn't have paid his bills for the year. He has spent the yearly earn ings of 22 million workers, buy ing a false prosperity, then says "You never had it so good". Ho has mortgaged the future for your children and grandchildren, so he could say "You never had it so good". With the highest wages in his tory, you still find it hard to get by. Your Income tax is ta ken out before you get your pay check. Yet thousands with I irym to ttork out jor , col() Which reminds us, we have those hormone pellets for ca ponizing chickens and turkeys. They will make a soft roasier out of an old cock in weeks. Why "give away old worn out roosters. That's about what it amounts to to "sell them". The same hormone pellets will mature your torn turkeys earlier, with better grades and with a big saving in feed. Mighty cheap in large amounts. LATEST DEFINITION of I "Hay ride". A bunch of guys and gals go out for a ride, and every so often some gal hollers "Hey!" TODAY'S FANTASTIC FACT In one Federal Department the Hoover Commission found 24 supervisors for 25 employ ees! (Ed. note; They probly found another supervisor for that other employee by now. Surely they wouldn't fire him!)

Lots of feed value left, if you can only get your stulf to eat it. Molasses is the answer. Besides, it's a wonder ful and economical feed on its own, even if you have the best hay in the world. $17.95 a bar rel if you furnish the barrel. Worth at least double that, com pared to other feeds. the "right connections" settle Iheir past due income taxes at irom 3c up on the dollar. And. to make matters worse, there's no improvement in sight. Guvment spending Is in creasing. Corruption and graft no longer make the headlines. We are asked to overlook such minor matters, and concentrate on the fact that "We never had it so good". Yes, let us not forget it. But also, let's not forget how we got it so good, and that it's our grandchildren who will have to pay fur our lush living.

Tannin is mainly used for leather tanning and for controlling the fluidity of oil-well drilling muds. Dihydroquercetin, a while, crys talline organic compounds, can be put to use fighting disease and preserving food. As an anti-oxi-dant, dihydroquercetin is capable of preventing rancidity in fats and oils such as lard and butter. It also is beneficial in the treatment of frostbite and fragility of blood capillaries. Wage Program's Violations Under Investigation Reports of unlawful practice to circumvent the wage stabilization program in the construction Indus' try are being investigated, it was announced by Leo Kotin, Chair man of the Regional Wage Stab ilizatinn Board in Seattle. The investigations are being conduct ed by officials of the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor acting as agents for the wage board. "Reports have reached us that some employes are being paid wages for higher rated classifi cations than those in which they actually work, that overtime pay ments are being made when no overtime is worked, that employ pes are oeing carried on more than one payroll for performing the same work, that illegal piece rates are being paid instead of lawful contract rates, and 'hat other devices are being used to circumvent the Defense Produc tion Act and the regulations of the Wage Stabilization Board," Kotin said. Kotin pointed out that if these reports are proven to be correct serious penalties may result. Pen alties for violation of wage Stab ilization Board regulations in payments (1) in calculating lie ductions under the revenue laws of the United States (2) in de termining costs or expenses under any contract made by or on be- lief of the United States, either directly or Indirectly, (3) In the setting or approving of any max imum price ceilings, and (4) in determining costs or expenses of any such employer tor the pur pose of any other law or regu 1 lation. Under the Defense Production Act, Kotin stated, the total wage payment not just the excess above legal rates may be disal lowed. Exeunt Not Accepted In instances where employers have belatedly found themselves in violation, volunteered the in formation and taken the steps re quired by the regulations to bring themselves into complaince, the enforcement policy of the Board has been to credit such voluntary compliance as a strong factor in mitigation of penalties, Kotin ex plained.

Earnings Hold High Despite Many Strikes Employment and earnings of workers held their own in the Port- iana area during May despite la bor disputes that idled several thousand in lumbering, transpor tation and baking industries. Re ports from the four-county dis trict (including Clark countv, Washington) to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and State Un employment Compensation Com mission show practically as manv employes as a month or year be- lore and an Increase of 6 per cent over May. 1950. Here are the monthly estimates of non-farm jobs and average weegiy earnings of production workers: May. 1952162.800 and $73.78; April. 1952163.000 and $73.99; May. 1951-174,200 and $71.- 59; May, 1950153.400 and $65.61. uains in ship repairing (500). and construction (1,300) helped to off set losses in the number working in lumber, food processing and pas senger busses. Although seasonal conditions in textiles and apparel laid off 300 employes, the number of jobs (4.900) was 800 more than a year before. Metals work ers (9,600) also held to the high Ipvel attained last fall, 500 above May, 1951. Average earnings of workers In lumber, food processing and furni ture and fixtures also fell off last month but uptrends in paper pro. ducts, ship repairing, and printing and publishing made up for the losses. Longer hours (35.4) in the last-named industry helped estab lish a new high of $91.66 a week for typographical workers, whose average hourly pay ($2.59) also was higher then ever before. - Whole wheat flour does not keep as well ai white. Court Voids Sale Of Indian Lands On Fraud Charge PORTLAND ( Federal Judge Gus Solomon Wednesday ordered an 800-acre Indian timberland sale nullified and the same land put up for public sale to the highest bidder. Two Curry County Indians, Jas per Grant and Harold- Thornton, sold their timber for $135,000. Be fore they got all of the money the government holding part of it in trust the deal was questioned and an Investigation was started. As a result two Ir.'ian bureau AIDES HERE, Clyde Flinn and Francis La France, were suspend ed. Then the case went into court, the government seeking to have the sale set aside because the In dians did not get a fair price and there was fraud in the deal. Judge Solomon agreed with the government and ordered the Bur eau of Indian Affairs to return to Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Taylor of The Dalles their $135,000 as mm h as is left now and the rest when the timberland is sold again. HOUND ADOPTS COUGARS PORT ALBERNI.

Since there are well established procedures under which relief can be obtained in hardship cases, a contention on the part of the employer that he cannot get workmen without pay ing illegal rates is no excuse," Kotin declared. Kotin pointed out also that the Defense Production Act makes it illegal for employes to receive, as well as for employers to pay, illegal wage rates. Under the De fense Production Act willfnl ami calculated violations of the Act constitute misdemeanors and, up on conviction thereof, subject the violators to fines of not more than $10,000 or to imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. oak IVY or SUMAC LEGAL FAMILY HALIFAX, Can.
