16 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tues., Oct. 21, 1952 Douglas Fir Seed Crop This Year Nearly Failure Even the birds may go on short rstions in the Douglas fir region thia winter and cone-storing squir rela think the great depression has hit. Reason is a near failure in the Douglas fir seed crop this year. .' Some areas of western Oregon and Washington report a complete failure of cones on the giant coni fers, according to W. D.' Hagen stein. chief forester. Industrial Forestry Association, while other districts have a very thin crop. Nobody knows- completely just why these periodic cone failures occur, the forester said. Some un seasonal weather during polliniza tion may limit cones. Available supply of stored food in the tree also influences seed yield. But seed gatherers are having slim pickings in 1952, and many of the cones brought in are insect damaged. There is seldom a com plete crop failure, but heavy seed years occur only every five to sev en years. Average seed years about offset poor seed years. Natural reforestation suffers when poor seed years occur in auccession, for undesirable brush and weeds get a head start and baby conifers have a difficult time getting started for seeds can't reach the soil to germinate. Cone collectors generally bring In extra heavy volume during good years and the seeds are stored in cold rooms for several years un til needed.

Box 348, Roseburg, Ph. 3-8777 crop of 18,000,000 trees growing, seed storage is an important part of planning. In abundant seed years there Is plenty for the birds, squirrels, and other seed-eating animals, and ample left over for man's use in artificial propagation of the for ests where nature needs help. It's different this year. Seed-eating birds and animals will be forced to look for other food. Provident nurserymen are luckier.

He has been doing this for 21 years, supplying equipment and materials only to those establish ments and individuals who are ac tually engaged in photography, such as studio photographers, cons mercial photographers, newspaper photographers and photo finish ers.

C. Deller, Roseburg school superintendent, announced today. An organization known as the Douglas County Schoolmasters is expected to be initiated at tho meeting, Deller said. Though Schoolmasters' groups are c o m mon throughout the country, this is the first meeting of this type in Douglas County. The meeting, which Deller ex pects to be attended by about 35 or 40 schoolmen, will be informal in nature. Any problem that a schoolman wants discussed will be brought out and answered, If pos sible, Deller said. This Initial meeting of County schoolmen was planned by Deller school superintendent, at request of educators in this area, Deller said. Deller has been a member of similar groups in other Oregon counties. traits out of this world, to the more or less bedeviled newspaper character who handles a camera about as he would a shotgun, load ing it, pointing it and pulling the trigger and who is equally satis fied whether he merely wings his quarry, or plasters it squarely be tween me eyes, me newspaper photographer has very little admir ation for those who take their work so seriously, and they have none at all for him. How Don gets along with all of them is a mystery, but he does and is universally liked. Probably because he doesn't claim to be a photographer him self; only I happen to know he's capable of taking some darn good pictures. Don't ever let the stu dios know I said so though, or they'll immediately want to cut his throat. Studio photographers are clever at that. I never realized how clever until I attended their convention in' Seattle several years ago. It was held in the sacred precincts of the Olympic hotel and all the Northwest (including British Co lumbia ) were there. I got past the credentials committee by disguis ing myself with a wig and a long beard. One of the stunts they pull ed was to photograph a girl, a very plain looking dame at that as near as I could judge. Then each of them hurriedly processed his film, printed it and brought it in to the judge and, so help me! Each photographer had made that hom ely gal into the spitting image of Rita Hayworth. Now,- a newspa per photographer doesn't know how to do that. wumm KEEPING TABS In Korea, U. S.

Smith, ecre tary, West Coast Lumbermen's Association.
