"The budget has remained relatively constant while coats of operating and m aintain in g campgrounds have risen rapidly as a reault of inflation and higher standards of sanitation." The Forest Service is at- tem pting to m in im ize the impact through management measures designed to cut coats. opened during heavy use periods Schlapfer said that even with such management actions, it has become impossible to maintain acceptable standards of public safety and protection of resource values in all of the more than 1,200 campground, in the National Forests of Oregon and Washington. campgrounds and campers are requested to pack their gar bage out for disposal at home. Some campground units are closed during slack periods and remain closed. Last year there were 59 full campground closures for the season in Oregon and Washington " It is too early to tell how many will be closed thia year," Schlapfer said, "but 11 is expected that the number will run xxnewhat higher.” Moat involve small cam pgrOunds (one to five u nltl) located in remota the National Forests or are lightly used In both cases, coats run high in relation to use. , n a few caaea> i a rg e r cam pgrounds dam aged by For this reason it is expected that some campground, will floods or wind may remain deeed due to lack of funds to reconstruct the campground at fh*» time L a le t h li »prlng as the camping »«••«» approaches, should be able to get informatio<1 on a’ y For example, garbage cans are rem oved from some closures by contacting local Forest Service offices.

Mosses aren't really mosses If mosses and paper-like scales have invaded the family orchard or some of your most favorite trees, it’s not an ill omen and leaving them there will not spell certain death to the trees The mosses are not really mosses says W ilbur W.

Avoid strong sunlight and sharp drafts. Place flowers in a deep vase full of water and in a cool room to preserve them as long as possible. This is especially necessary for an arrangement which spends the day in a low dish therefore getting little water. Valentine’s day is Just around the corner.

True mosses are greenish and found growing on the north side of trees and on the soil. They fo rm reproductive structures on small stems, a process lichens cannot carry out because they are not a true plant but the result of a fungus and alga growing together as one plant in a sim biotic relationship. Lichens may be found on unpainted board fences, posts or on the bark of trees since they are saprophytic and cause no harm to the host. Heavy growths of lichens usually follow reasons characterized by extended rainy periods in the late spring and summer. B u rkh art assures owners that no harm will come to the trees as a result of the growth being present. Since most orchards are sprayed with copper or lime and sulfur mixtures, lichens are kept at a minimum in comparison to an older orchard suffering from neglect. Environmental conditions and not the growths are responsible for decline and a death of trees.
