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.

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.

Schoolmasters
To Be Organized
Schoolmen from throughout
Douglas County-v.no are interested
in school administrative problems
will meet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
in Fullerton School, M. 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.
