1 Caution -Against re Is Urged By tate Forester SALEM, Ore.. April 2 (UP State Forester- Nelson S. Rogers Joday urged extreme caution against fire in northwestern tim bered areas. - f Rogers warned that the stage is alt set for a repetition of the disastrous spring fern fires of J943. He said all district fire Wardens and fire guards, particu larly in western Oregon, have been asked to be on the alert, 1 "Two years ago more than 25, 000 acres of the finest young lim ber in our state was destroyed oJivhcn fern fires spread out of control," Rogers said as he urged ranchers and others who in the past have practiced fern burning lo clear ground for pastures, to , p!op burning bracken fern. "Last spring fern fire damage was cut lo 1,800 acres, but that is still far too high a price to pay for care lessly started fires which do only harm. ; "Three or four days of dry weather create an ideal fire situ ation; Much of our young timber land is covered with a heavy growth of Bracken fern which is dead and very dry in the spring months. Fernfires make a flash, fast sprendirig "flame and then die out, but such fire will kill all growth, especially tender young Seedling trees. We must stop killing off our state s future for ests in these needless fires."

'Dyed tq the season's colors and styled for, a .variety, of uses, cot ton sacking 'has proved its fash ion rating and social standing as a smart, rough-textured . fabric that makes suits, smocks, shins, dresses, mother - and - daughter pinafores. Nor is it limited to clothing. This sacking crashes the home decorating field and invites the personalized touches that make gay tablecloths, 'bedspreads., van ity, skirts, draperies, towejs and napkins-.-. - . - '" . 1 So. versatile' are- the uses of these bags that every penny-wise woman who can. get her hands on a. supply wintS'to turn her talents loose on the fabric to ex tend her wardrobe or, nousehold accessories.

To get feed, bag or flour sack ready for the sewing machine, all that's needed is to soak over night in heavy soap suds, wasl) thoroughly 'n wanner suds 01 remove advertiser's brand, and dip in dye to. prepare the fabric for its fashion whirl.; To show what happens when style puts its' magic touch on sal vage sacking, two Memphis, Tenn.. belles Belly Long and little .lackye Bin ton model the big sister-little sister- jumper dresses, pictured above, which are made of feed bags dyed in fantry blue, are smartly accented with sweetheart necklines and applique motifs of bright red ap ples.
