Piiw ORchard 3-6567 A "S.P., Navy, R.E.A." sounds like the government planners have landed. But we're wrong, it's only farm ers and loggers who are cashing in on the good pole and piling market. The above quote is three of the many types of poles and piling that are being sold on today s marxei, Allenby and Nye, new owners of the Fhilippi rtancn on ine rorui Umpqua Highway, are two of the many farmers who have found more money in their timber by selling them as poles and piling. The working agreement they have made with a local logger, Georee Strader. shows a definite trend. THE TREND is for the landown ers and loggers to develop a work ine and sharing partnership. Bert Allenby and George Strader are doing just tnat. AUenoy and Nye take $20 a thousand for the stumpage. Bert helps in the log ging operation and takes one-third of the difference between the stumpage and the selling price. George gets one-third for his la bor and one-third goes for the equipment. "It's working out swell," accord ing to George. "We like selling poles and pil ing," Bert said, "because we are Oakland Eastern Star ' Members Attend Session By EDITH DUNN Members of Oakland Chapter 91, Order of Eastern Star, who are attending grand session at Port land are Mrs. H. S. Early, Mrs. I,yle Stuwe, Mrs. Lloyd Conish, Mrs. Vern Hoigate, Mrs. Marry Barker and Mrs. L. F, Stearns. On Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Neil Burpee are spending a vacation visiting at their tormer nomc in worm uaico- ta.

WITH US AND $$$ By Ed Gilder. I County IstansJon Afnt realizing $15 to $30 more per thou sand for our timber." "It has other advantages also. Witn poles and piling they are graded right at our landing. The company pays us by the number of luteal leet in the piling and then they furnish the self-loading trucks and stand tne cost of nam ing." . I told George and Pert how that all sounded very goo;': but, wasn't it true that only a small percent age of the stand would make poles ano piling. "That's what we thougot," Bert said, "until we started to sell. Now, we think over ninety percent of the trees in our stand will make poles and piling. The wide variety of orders and specifications that are available makes it possible for us to market small and large trees." George Strader stressed the im portance of measuring accurately. "Bert and I scpnt a lot of time discussing and measuring a tree to see how we can get the most out of it, he said. "TAKE this tree. We'll take a 20 foot SP piling off of the butt and get 28 cents a lineal foot for it. From the rest of the tree we'll get a 60 foot navy piling at 20 cents per lineal foot. We found on our first load that an error in measuring can mean quite a few dollars on a tree." OF COURSE, the partners have a couple of problems. One is breakage. A number of their best trees are broken in fall ing. This is overcome soma by the wide range of sizes that they can sell. They have a market for poles ano piling from twenty feet in length all the way up to 115 feet. Butt diameters vary from 8' inch es to 19 inches. Top diameters run from 6 to 9 inches. Their other problem is neeline the bark. Prices are quoted for peeled poles or piling at the land ing. At tne present lime they are hiring peeling done for 2 and 2A cents a foot. Both George and Beit believe these problems are easily offset by naming costs, grading and sell ing at the landing, and the wide market they have for all tree sizes. DON'T Mt me wrong. I'm r.j'. 100 per cent in accord with cutting a stand for pole and piling. Many young fast growing stands have had their growth potential destroy ed from pole and piling cuttings but this is also true of logging for sawlogs and tordwood. What I'm trying to say Is that if a young stand must be cut, you, as the landowner or logger, should sell your Ire-js for the product that will give the greatest return. Allenby and Strader believe poles and piling is the best for their logging show. Your stand may be best suited for second-growth peelers, sawlogs, cordwood, or poles and piling. I suggest that vou investieate all of the potential markets in your area.

IVAN EDWARDS DISTRIBUTOR & BUILDER PH. OR 3-7493 ROSEBURG Ore. OSC Scientists Show Research Finds In Grass, Legume Seeds Prospects for continued leadership of Oregon's grass and legume seed industry were strengthened Wednesday ?.s Or egon State College scientists unveiled new research find ings at their annual farm crops field day. An estimated 200 Willamette Val ley farmers toured the Hyslop ex perimental farm midway between Corvallis and Albany where prom ising traits of thousands of plant selections are under study. Better varieties, possiole new crops for the area, more effective weed control, and even the use of radiation to short-cut nature's er ratic changes in plant growth hab its were reviewed by a nine-man team of OSC farm crops research ers. Tall Fatcua Grass J. Ritchie Cowan, plant breeder, introduced visitors to a tall fescue forage grass selection from Alger ia, North Africa. It has maintained luxurient growth through two win ters here. Its preliminary promise as a winter and early spring pas ture grass will now be tested in grazing trials on OSC experimen tal pastures at Corvallis and As toria. Nearly 100 per cent control of both broadleaf and grassy weeds in perennial grass seed crops was reported by W. R. Furtick. Fall applications of two new selective weed killers, not yet released pub licly, controlled weeds in seedling row stands of alta fescue, Mcrion bluegrass, and creeping red fes- Guides For Buying Sprinkler Systems' Published By OSC Seven keys to buying sprinkler irrigation equipment for best re sults with Oregon's many crops and wide range of soil conditions are outlined in a new bulletin pub lished by the Oregon State College agricultural experiment station. Copies of bulletin 548, "Buying a Sprinkler System," are available from county extension agents or the OSC bulletin clerk. Many Trials Slated John Wolfe, OSC agricultural en gineer, conducted trials throughout sprinkler-irrigated areas of the state in collecting information for the 12-page booklet. Wolfe presents the following "yardsticks" as guides to buying sprinkler systems that meet all requirements of individual farms: Yardsticks Lilted i l. System capacity. Recommen dations for five major agricultural areas of Oregon indicate the gal-lons-per-minute per acre require ments for seven groups of crops. 2. Application rate. Callon-pcr-minute discharge for individual sprinklers is charted for seven soil types. Some coarse sandy soils, for example, require three times the gallons-per-minule recommended for clay loam soak. 3. Application for each irrgation. Example: Where shallow rooted truck crops require only 2 to 3 inches of water per irrigation on sandy loam soils, alfalfa may need up to 8 inches. Other keys include best spacing of sprinklers, most economical size main line pipe, size of lateral lines, horsepower requirements for pump ing, and a list of general pointers for system operation.

Presently - used chemicals IPC and Chloro-IPC, have been effective on established seed crops but may cause severe damage to seedlings. A combination of 4 pounds IPC and lMi pounds dinitro amine per acre controlled grasses and broad leaf weeds in crimson clover with best results when fall-applied. It required a higher rate of applica tion and was less effective when applied in the spring. Search Discussed Seach for a short-strawed wheat selection to resist lodging in west ern Oregon was discussed by Rob ert Metzger. He showed a first year cross of the popular White Holland with Norin-10, a semi dwarf from Japan. Cross-breeding will continue in an attempt to com bine high quality of local varieties with lodging-resistance and heavy yields of the imported variety which has poor protein quality. Metzger also is testing several hundred wheat selections brought in from throughout the world in an attempt to breed smut-resistant varieties for the Columbia Basin. The researcher explained use of radiation to bring about genetic changes in plants for possible de velopment of lodging -resistant Hannchen barley and Shasta oats. Meanwhile, the standby varieties that still yield best for tins area were reported by Thomas Vcblen. They are White Holland winter wheat, Zimmerman sprmg wheat Cascade winter barley. Hannchen spring barley, Grey Winter winter oats and Victory spring oats. South Pacific Plant Fourth-year trials with a leaf liber plant irom tne bouth Pacific for cordage fiber production was reported by Don Fishier. A war- strategic material now limited to overseas commercial production, it is used in production of twine and rope. ishler says it is the highest yielding fiber plant known. The sci entist also discussed variety trials of common linen flax. A tour of irrigated pastures un der test for the past two years provided visitors with at least one answer to the aee-old question which pays more grass-legume or grass plus fertilizer? H. L. Schud el, researcher and tour leader, re ported the results in pounds of beef per acre in 1954. Ladino clover and grass gave 642 pounds of beef: grass and heavy nitrogen fertiliz er. 518 pounds of beef. Straight grass pastures received a total of 240 pounds actual nitro gen in seven applications from March to September. Grass-ladino pastures received a total of only 72 pounds actual nitrogen in seven applications from March to Sep tember. Grass-ladino pastures re ceived a total of only 72 pounds actual nitrogen in two applications in March and June. A new high-yielding field corn variety for Western Oregon was announced by R. E. Fore. Known as Oregon 150, the variety was approved bv the Oregon Certifica tion committee and released to seed producers '.his spring. It is scheduled for general distribution in the spring of 1956. Oregon 150 will be recommended primarily as a silage-type for Western Oregon although it also gives excellent grain yields when planted early.
