T H A N K YO U FARM Thursday, November 21, 1957 pleasing red. We have often wondered whether it is the climate or something else which accounts for the commonplace yellow of Oregon maples when the hunter’s moon appears. During a visit to Carl Joe- hnk’s place south of Canby, recently we observed two sugar maple trees which a relative sent us from West Virginia a few years back. They are yet small but their leaves presented the same crimson array found in their home state at the beginning of the squirrel season- If we could draw a con clusion it would be that tree species and not climate is re sponsible for the drab fall ap pearance of our ash, oak and maple trees. Arguments to the contrary will be given due attention. brought to our attention the possibility of growing cork oak in this area. We immed iately wrote to the firm in terested in this project for further information. If cork oak growing looks like a profitable venture we shall endeavor to obtain a few trial plantings in Clackamas Coun ty- Don reports, “A few of our folks here in the county (Co lumbia) have become inter ested in these trees and we have some growing here in the county. Just what the fu ture of this particular tree might be we do not know, but are lead to believe that it might have quite a future if it will grow here success fully-” “The cork people tell us that it should be adapted to our area as it needs an acid toil and grown best where drainage is good. The trees ere reported to be growing throughout the coastal area of California. >OZ Ten year contract are re quired on tree plantings for The following letters from forestry purposes.
