Grafting Program Tirst' For Forest Coal Is To Improve Strains Of Lumber-Producing Tree The Umpqua National Forest has' ceive the scion. The scuitu auuiiiiT iirsi in umber management with a grafting pro gram this year in its Dorena Seed Orchard. ' Vondis E. Miller, forest simer- visor called it one more step in lively seals the union. scion is u'hit. uea to make a nearly exact fit. Skilled whittling is required. The resultant union is then thoroughly wrapped with a rubber budding Dand. fitch from the plant effec- the seed orchard program begun in 1958. The project involves graft ing 400 ponderosa, white and sugar pine trees. . Improved Strains Eyed He said forest geneticists have long dreamed of doing for forest trees what agricultural scientists have done for the nation's grains and livestock. They wish to produce improved tree strains, immune to certain diseases. With this in mind, the Umpqua National Forest established a 110 acre seed orchard on some farm land, at the base of the Dorena Dam just east of Cottage Grove. Sixty acres have been planted to date. The trees planted ure called "understocks." This is where graft ing enters the picture. When the understocks are about four-five years old, twigs called "scions" are grafted to them. Union Made The understock is slotted to re 'Beach Bum' Influx Due At Waikiki HONOLULU (UP!) - Waikiki is bracing for the annual lemming-like migration of California beach bums, usually distinguished by their biblical haircuts, beards and reluctance to work. The advance parly is already here. Five are in jail and one is in the hospital. But observers on the beach say this should be a bumper year for them. Transportation costs are relatively low and co ed enrollment for the summer session at the University of Hawaii is expected to be high. Grafting has been a common tech' nique in rose culture and in fruit orchard work for eenerations. Skill ed technicians from these fields soon found work with Ditchv coni fers required development of new techniques. Several seasons of trial and error were needed before Dro cedures satisfactory for conifers were developed. These procedures are now being used on the Ump qua, according to Frank TerBush, Forest Reforestation Specialist. Ten to -10 years hence, grafts made today will be cross-bred, just as geneticists to today to produce hybrid corn. The product of such crosses will be tested to determine if desired improvement has indeed taken place. Tests Take Longer Scientists, working with grains, can produce and test one or two generations a year. With livestock they may produce improved strains every five years or so. Trees are different. Forest geneticists are for tunate to produce demonstrably im proved strains in 10 to 20 years. The grafting brings together de sirable candidates. Forest gene ticists will meticulously watch their development. Future years will re veal the results. Disease-resistant I d I A. FINAL STEP in the grafting 'process on o pine tree is shown here by Jerry Barnes. The rubber budding band is being wrapped around the graft.

Multiple-use of our national for est resources requires constant test ing in this and other fields so that the objective of "the greatest good for the greatest number" may be realized, supervisor Miller concluded.-;.1 Housewives Slap Darwinism Study LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Do "Christian children have equal Police Chief Dan Liu says the riEhts under the law in the tax- college crowd that arrives about supported schools and if it is un tile same time as the beach bums doesn't cause much trouble. "The so-called water rats are the ones that are often the vag rants. They think this is a place where they don't have to work, and secondly there are a lot of girls." Police have found that, the "bums" sometimes eke out a liv ing by petty larceny, robbery, fraud, consorting with homosex uals and even panhandling in Wai kiki constitutional to teach -of God in the public schools, is it equally un constitutional to teach of the ab sence of God?" The state Board of Education agreed Friday to ask the state attorney general for a legal opin ion on this question, posed by two housewives from Costa Mesa, Calif. Mrs. Jean E. Sumrall and Mrs. Neil Seagravcs told the board Fri day that certain school textbooks teach Darwinism as trutn to tno Jludd Werner, one of the old ..! i i u u. .:,i icacn unrv ume mo ' ""':."" exclusion of any religious theory.

The beach bum now in Queen's Hospital ended up there alter an argument with a Hawaiian beach boy about which group really "owns" the islands. The Hawaii an broke his jaw. , Some of the girls have already arrived and say the landlords are too rough on them. "In San Francisco you can make all the noise you want and the police don't bug you," one of them said. She lost a $50 deposit when she and some friends were evicted from their Waikiki apartment af ter a noisy party. The five now in jail were also evicted from their furnished apart ment. But they came back later, one moved the furniture out and gave it to his girl friend and all live were arrested for trespass ing. The sentence was 90 days but the judge said they can get out any time they like. All they have to do is to find jobs or transpor tation back to California. "Waikiki doesn't have lo toler ate this element," Liu said. 1 Mrs. Sumrall said. "Education has leaned ovef so far to protect atheist children from being taught' religion in school that it is now on the side of the atheists and agnostics." Mrs. Scagraves cited a high school text and several elemen tary school books which she claimed leach ' Darwinism "as truth." Joblessness Up Slightly SALEM (UPI) Insured job lessness was up slightly for the week ending May 16 than a year ago, Employment Commissioner David Cameron said Friday. The highest rate of unemploy ment was at Ontario, and the low est at Corvallis. Road Decision Delayed SALEM (UPI) The State High way Department has decided to wait until June 3 to close two lanes of interstate 5 between Goshen and Crcswell for shoulder paving. It earlier said it would close two lanes May 27. The job will take about four weeks.

This is one of the big events of the year as far as the sheep pro ducers are concerned, and a real chance to show their wares, both live lambs and barbecued lambs. Douglas County leads the state in lamb production and lamb is one of the real fine meats to cat if it is properly prepared. Many serv icemen, durinr the war, ate mut ton from New Zealand and Austral ia which not only was poorly pre pared, but poorly taken care of be fore it was cooked, and, conse quently, have acquired a bad taste for lamb or mutton. But good Iamb properly prepar ed is a real treat. Efforts by live stock producers through the lamb show and advertising promotion work with the local stores has in creased the consumption of lamb in this area. In the long run we need to do more about produc-1 ing a meat-type carcass, but the ones we raise now are good eating and we hope that in the future they will be better. Events Planned Lots of events are going on at the lamb show, the highlight of which is the lamb barbecue. At noon we serve a barbecued lamb lunch for 2," cents per person which is available to anyone who wants to come. The barbecue is prepared by Jim Bcvans, a local real estate man, and Phil Strader, one of the members of the Livestock Associ ation. I think I can say without question that they do the best job of barbecuing lamb of anyone in this part of the country. Those of you who have eaten at the barbe cue the last two or three years can certainly testify to their skill as barbecucrs. For some of you housewives who might be interested in preparing lamb, but don't have the recipes for how it should be prepared, we will have recipes available on lamb barbecue and various ways of pre paring lamb. Your local meat mar ket and the County Extension Of fice also have them and we will have them available at the lamb barbecue. So come over and get some barbecue, learn a little bit about how to prepare it and enjoy one of the real fine meats that we raise in the country. Possibilities Cited Three growers and I attended the Beef Cattle Day at Oregon State University May 22. It was quite an interesting program. The talk I enjoyed most was trie one by Itucben Albaugh, extension livestock specialist from Califor nia, who talked about the Califor-i nia market and what was needed j to fill the demand in that area. There are some real possibilities fur selling beef in California. At the present time, Texas and Ari-"in-i srll an awful lot of beef into that area, but Oregon could sell a .ji more than it docs. Generally rrikin". the California market is fairly strong. Other highlights of the program included some feed ing work that was being done, a discussion of a Western Oregon beef operation on foothill ranges, a report on a survey on calving per centages and methods here in Ore gon. Other items included a report on the contribution of the Adair tract to the beef cattle research in Oregon State University. All in all, it w-as an excellent program and would have been enjoyed, I am (JIB Method Found To Cut Radioactivity From Milk LONDON (UPI) Three U. S. scientists said today they have devised a "cheap, safe and ef ficient way" of removing radio active strontium from milk which is so simple a housewife can do it in her home. In an article published by the scientilic journal Nature, Joseph Silverman, Dipen Gohosh and Ralph L. Belcher of the Glen Martin Institute of Technology said SO per cent of any stron tium present can be removed from milk simply by adding cal cium phosphate and then strain ing it out. "The method is inherently safe ...(and) preliminary test indi cate that there are no gross changes in the flavor, odor or appearance (of the milk)," Ihe article said.

Haying Good The weather the last couple of weeks, 1 am sure, has made a lot of you itchy to start cutting hay and in lots of respects I think prob ably it is a good idea. Some of the best hay that is made in this coun ty is cut generally along the lat ter part of May. Much of the hay mat goes beyond this stage has a tendency to be too ripe and, con sequently, is much lower in real feed value than the hay that is cut early. Tonnages are up some on the late cut hay, but the quality cer tainly is down. Grasses, which are in the hay, normally should be cut when they are in the bloom stage or belorc and this usually occurs not too long after they come out of the boot. - We sent in some samples of rye grass hay from Curtis Barker's prior to blooming on the grass and these came hack with a very good level of protein running about ten to eleven per cent which Is about as good as most alfalfa hay runs. We also have samples of subclov- cr and grass cut at the proper stage which run 12 and 13 per cent protein, so Iherc is a real possibility of producing excellent quality hay in this country if you can cut it at the nnht time and get it put up correctly. Lamb Pools Due Interested livestock producers, of course, should remember that lamh pools will be starling the first of June and those wishing lo partici pate should sign up on Monday of the week they wish to ship. I also would like lo remind growers, who are in the wool pool to notify the Extension Office as soon as they finish shearing. This gives us a chance lo determine how much wool has been sheared and as soon as we have enough for two carloads, we will try and mak a shipment. However, if you don't notify us we can't include you in the first shipment. Ore. 71 I T 1 l Dira ana oeasr roTcn rsri? rr CA-V-AL By DICK TURNERj "- ffMtfUgH f-i , i mm vi jurr iuinan.nl.
