' - jHM fk. i. New Forest Soil Scientist Added To College Staff A ! long-range program to pro-1 tcct and maintain Oregon's forest industry through a constructive soil management program his been launched by the agriculture experiment station and the school of forestry at Oregon State College- with the appointment of a forest soils scientist. Tlw new soils expert is Dr. C. T. Youngberg, who came to 0! C from the forest soils research di vision of Weyerhaeuser's Timber Co. and whose background com bine,s unusual specialty training in both forestry and soils. Hrs appointment to the newlv Ilii appointment to the newly-created; position of forestry soils sci entist will find him working with 1 the State Forestry Department and with federal and private for estry agencies in the development of a. sound soils program for Ore gon's more than 26 million acres of Commercial forests. Principal laboratory for the re " search program will be the 11. OOOacre McDonald .orest of the College. Establishment of the so:l testing laboratory at OSC this fall will place another aid in building the research program at the dis posal of Dr. Youngberg. Sail classifications will be made for -the various forest areas and suggested programs of soil man agement will be developed for var ious,' forestry operations such as planting and cutting. Dr. Youngberg received his bachelors degree in botany from Whijaton College in 1941. After a fouo-year tour of duty with the air torce in World War II. he re turned to school. He received his master of forestry degree from the University of Michigan in 1947 and' his doctorate degree in forest soili from the University of Wis consin in 1951. Fbllowing graduation in 1951. he joined the forest research staff of Weyerhaeuser's Company at Centralia, Wash.

Matthews, Days Creek farmer who has been co-operating with the Douglas County Extension Agent's office in running grain fertilizer trials, combines his test crop of foil-sown wheat. Value of the increased yield in fertilized over unfertilized plots rnn os high as 27 bushels per acre. From 25 to 30 acres of wheat were sown in the tests. SACKED BARLEY YIELD Matthews stands beside his truck loaded with sacks of barley harvested from fertilizer test plots. Fertilizer brought yields of 1,160 pounds of barley per acre more than from unfertilized sections. In this test, 15 acres of barley were sown ond fertilized in April.

Latest U. S. Department of Ag riculture surveys, as reviewed f.ir Oregon by Mrs. Klvera Horrell, OSC extension agricultural econom ist, show that slightly more than half of the total value of farm construction goes for houses. Out of the remaining sum, three fourths is spent on service build ings such as barns and poultry houses. The rest goes for fences, windmills, pumps and so on. About one -third of the money spent for houses is used for new conslruction and one-half for ma jor improvements. The rest goes for miscellaneous repairs. This is in direct contrast to city figures, where most of the outlay is far new structures. About half of the farm construc tion work is done by tarmers and their families. This reduces the la bor costs to about 25 per cent of the cash expenditures. In the ci'y, labor costs run about 40 to 50 per cent of the total construction ex pense. State Potato Carloads Drop During Past Year SALEM im A sharp drop In potato shipments cut Oregon's produce carloadings in the year ended June 30, the stale Depart ment of Agriculture reported Fri day. The number of carloads dropped from 40.986 in the previous year to 32.872 with potatoes accounting for nearly all the decline. Potato shipments are expected to be up markedly this year.

That's what grain fertilizer trials rim on the Roy V. Matthews farm at Days Creek show, says Wayne Mosher, assistant countv extension agent. Two fertilizer tests were run on fall-sown wheat and spring sown barley. Trials were conducted with both 16 20 and ammonium sulphate fer tilizers on 25 to 30 acres of spring fertilized wheat. The 16-20 proved the most profitable, results show. 16-20 Proves Beit The 16-20 fertilized plot produced 58.1 bushels per acre, with an ap plication of 200 pounds of fertiliz er per acre. This yield was 24.7 husncls per acre more tnan the .14 bushels taken from an unfertilized checkplot. Cost of the fertilizer in the test plot ran $8 80 per acre. A slightly greater yield 61 buh ls per acre came from an am nonium sulphate fertilized section, Hit the rntt nf tis on nnA .. lose to twice as high as the 16-20. I losher thinks the ammonium sul fate, distributed at a rate of 400 nounds per acre, might be more Profitable at lower levels. , But Ammonium vntnhntn i ed well in barley trials.

Both the ammonium sulphate and the 16-20 were applied to the barley at a rate nf 400 pounds per acre; the urea at 200.

Testing of this sort has been go ing on in Douglas County for the past two years, Mosher says. Filbert, Walnut Costs Analyzed In Bulletin Filbert and walnut production costs in Oregon are analyzed in detail and suggestions for improv ed efficiency o operation outlined In a pair of new bulletins pub lished by the OSC agricultural ex periment station. The publications, station bulletin 517 on "Cost of Producing Fil berts" and 518 on "Cost of Pro ducing Walnuts," were written by Dr. G. W. Kuhlman. agricultural economist. Copies are available on request from the college or from county agents. From 1940 to 1950, the price re ceived by filbert growers averaged 118 per cent of th? estimated cost of production and the price of wal nuts 102 per cent, Dr. Kuhlman points out. A wide variation in in dividual grower costs was noted, however, indicating that improved efficiency of operation is possible in many cases. The cost of producing filberts in 1949 averaged 14.4 cents per pound or $163 per acre. Average yield per acre was 1.132 pounds. Wal nuts cost an average of 15 8 cents per pound to produce or $117 per acre. Average acre yield was 741 pounds. lars in Germany during the year ending last June, it was announced Friday. vIERS! f Newi-Rtview, Roiobura, Oro. Mon., Aug. 25, 19S2 FUNNYMAN FAIR EMCEE Emcee for the all-star stage revue at the eight-day Oregon State Fair, which begins Aug. 30 in Salem, will be Jack Marshall, the funnyman with the flexible face. The revue, entilted "Fun Incorporated," will play each of the Fair's eight nights. Scientists Find Lacking Greens Diet has been shown to play an important role in developing loss of hearing in guinea pigs, a re search team of Oregon State Col lege scientists has found. It is believed this is the first time di;"t and loss nf hearing have been linked, Dr. Hugo Krucger, OSC physiology professor and a mem ber of Ihe research team. said. Guinea pigs on a diet larking greens developed a progressive loss of hearing. The guinea pigs also showed signs and symptoms very "similar lo some types of arthritis in man. In many of the guinea pigs, it was found upon examination that i the three tiny inner ear bones I hammer, anvil and stirrup . which are essential for transmit I ting sound waves to the brain, be I came fused. I Lack of an unknown vitamin in I greens, which aids the guinea pig in the proper use of calcium, is believed responsible for this con dition. In the absence nf the un- known materials or vitamins in greens, calcium is deposited in blood vessels, muscles, stomach and elsewhere. As in arthritic palients, the guinea pigs lacking this "X" vita min also suffered from irregular bone enlargements and some mov able bones became immovable. I$17 Million Goes To NW Farmers SPOKANE I, The Federal .and Bank of Spokane said Fri day it loaned almost 17 million dollars to Northwest farmers and ranchers during the last fiscal 1 year the largesl volume since 1935. I , The bank said its borrowers paid off 10 million dollars of their in- debtedness during the same pe-, ; riod. Idaho farmers led in volume of! I loans for the vear ending June 30 I wilh a total of $5,758,500. Wash- ! ington was next with $4,136,100, i Oregon $3,732,000 and Montana $2,- ' . 340,700. I DON'T MAKE A MOVE 'til you see FLEGEL Transfer and Storage Phone 3-4436 Guinea Pias Lose Hearing This "X" vitamin it called Ihe anti-stiffness factor. "The entire picture." Dr. Krun ger emphasized, "bears a greater similarity to the osteo arthritis in man than has been devised by any other experimental proce dure." In osteo arthritis Ihe bones as well as the joints are involved. More than 200 guinea pigs of the 1,500 to 2.000 used during Ihe over-all arthritis study were in eluded in the loss-of hearing diet observations. Dr. Rosalind Wulzen, OSC em eritus professor of physiology, and Dr. Alice M. Bahrs. now a Corvallis physician, started this anii-stiffness study some 15 years ago. Dr. Krucger and Lloyd Yonce. physiology instructor, have been associated with the project the past several years. , The Oregon Medical Research Foundation, the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, Armour and Co. and the OSC graduate council have provided funds for this research. th Alt-Purpot farm MJxr for SMALL CONCRETE WORK.
