He is believed to be the only person in the county eligible to receive the new 4-H pin awarded for Revision Of Income Tax Law Aids Oregon Farmers Oregon farmers will likely bene fit in several ways from revisions of income tax laws made by con gress during 1954, according to Manning Becker, extension farm management specialist at-Oregon State College. Included in the many changes that should help ease the strain for the farmer are tax rates about Cowt which have free and easy access to water, drink about 10 times a day and consume a third of their water at night.

The 19-year-old farmer is now in partnership with his father on the Worthington's big livestock and crops farm between Canyon ville and Days Creek. Wade started out in 4-H work in 1945. Just about 10 years old at the time, he joined a cooking club in Days Creek. He went on to take honors in cooking at the Douglas County Fair and, later, at the Oregon State Fair. In 1948 Wade joined a beef club. Since then he's acquired a small herd of registered Herefords, ac cording to county 4-H agent Frank von Borstel. He worked in the beef club for seven years, as a member of the Days Creek Stockmen. While he raised beef, Wade found time for four years, to raise corn. One year he had a champion corn exhibit at the Oregon Slate Fair. Von Borstel said that Wade didn't enter any of his cattle at the state fair. Transportation of beef presents quite a problem to boys living a considerable dis tance from the exhibiting place. The agent was proud of Wade. He said it wasn't often boys con tinue in 4-H work for 10 years. 'No set time has been named when Wade will receive his 10 year pin. Von Borstel says some kind of ceremony will probably go along with the presentation. Anyway the extension office hasn't received any pins yet. extensions on deadlines for filing .inal returns. The date for tax es timates is still Jan. IS, but if the final return is filed by Feb. 15, no estimate will be required.

Way Dack in December 1954 I came forth with the first "master piece." It was crude and they still are; but I am getting to the stage where I sort of look for ward to writing one each week. I hope you get some enjoyment out of reading them. EVEN HARDER to believe Is that the Roseburg News-Review has used it every time that I get it over to them. From this meager beginning the column has spread far but not so .wide. Hal Schiltz down at the Mvrtle Creek Mail makes use of it, when- over he has a little extra space. Dewey Rand, editor of the Capitol Press up at Salem says his circu lation isn't too . large in Douglas County but he likes the subject matter and it is of interest to his readers farther north. He uses it quite regular. The Oregon Farmer makes use of a column or two once in a while. Gene McNulty, field, editor, usual ly polishes them up a .little and maybe uses a couple of columns to make a story but they are being used. That's the important thing. A few trades with county agents and foresters in Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho who are writing columns about completes the cir cuit. REMEMBER ALL the "mular- key" I have been giving you about what a big business Christmas tree growing is in other states and how we can do the same thing in Douglas County? Well, now you can read about it from another source. Al DeVoe, forest apprais al forester, over at the court house called to' my attention the Christ mas tree feature article in this month's Better Homes and Gar dens magazine. This is the story of Mr. Christ mas Tree Paul Kirk of Ta coma, Wash. Kirk Evergreens are probably the largest Christmas tree operators in the United States. The acreage of farmed Christmas trees that they own is unbeliev able. The magazine article esti mates that they own over 40,000 acres that have been farmed. Paul has told me that without farming they would be unable to produce a soon be out of the Christmas tree business." "It is necessary to farm our slow growing stand," Paul savs. "to keep them in Christmas trees. Oth-! erwise we might cut in an area for five or six years and then it ! would grow beyond Christmas tree ' size." , If your interested in Christmas trees, take a look at this article in December's Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I did my read ing in the public library you can do the same. -; Don't stop there! We have a very excellent bulletin called "Raising Christmas Trees For A Profit" here in the county agent's office that we will let you have. "WHERE CAN I take the kids and cut a Christmas tree?" That's going to be a common question for the (next couple of weeks. 1 In the past it has been common j practice to drive out on a country i road and cut trees where they ; grow." The farmer or landowners : are beginning to realize the value of young trees growing on their j land. Many farmers are raising I Christmas trees to sell. Others! want the small trees on their lands j to grow into timber. ' Trespassing is a pretty horrible ' word but that's what you are' doing if you cut a Christmas tree without the landowner's permis-' sion. No matter, how far you get from town or how far it is from a house somebody owns the land. ' Make this a better Christmas for both you and the kids by getting permission before you cut a tree. : 1 Incidemly, some Douglas Coun ty farmers have some good trees for sale right on Christmas tree lots in town.
