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

sponsible for the drab fall ap
pearance of our ash, oak and

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.
