Be tween one thousand and 1500 acres of forest were burned over and three camps of a logging company near Sllverton, Or, were wiped out last night and early today, according to Peas, green, 24 No, most Interested and to build It up to Its" best is bis aim. Mn, HCIbaughj's ranch Is . three miles north of Ashland and consists of 150 acres, part of which Is irri gated from Bear creek. He has a 50-ton silo and will build another of 100-ton capacity this fall. He hat 40 acres In alfalfa and raises all his grain and corn, besides marketing oonslxlerabra hjay and) grain. The corn averages five tons to the acre and there are 10 acres of corn that Is magnificent, averaging between 8 and 10 feet in height and which will yield 10 tons on the average. This corn has up to this month had no Irrigation. There Is a family orchard on the place and the ranch Is most pleasant ly located. Mr. and Mrs. Holibaugh take an active Interest In community life and In addition to making his dairy one of the most modern lu this vlslnlty, he takes the time to work toward cooperative advance ment He Is a director In the Jack son county farm bureau, vice presi dent of the Ashland National Farm Loan association and secretary of the Jackson county Jersey Breeders' association. Informal observation receptions In the Holibaugh barn at milking time are held almost dally, and that he has taken the plunge that will re sult' In the winning of the dairymen of this part of the valley into a life made easier and more satisfactory by the use of modern machinery, Is a safe prediction! Milking Machines r Work as by Magic In Saturday's issue of the Port land Journal appears two fine illus trations of the large stock ranch of F. C. Holibaugh, situated acrosi Bear Crdek about three miles north of Ashland. Accompanying them Is a special write-up of the new milk ing machine recently Installed by Mr. Holibaugh, the first of the kind pirated in the upper Rogue River valley- The article is written by Mm Margaret E. Dill of Ashland, and Is as follows: In fairy tales the magician waves his wand and the desired appears, but In evry day life on an Oregon dairy ranch the dairyman Installs a milking machine and the desired ma terializes. Any way, that 1 s the ex perience of F. C. Holibaugh w.ho this spring Installed on his ranch the first milking machine In the up per end of the Rogue river valley. Mr. Holibaugh estimates a saving of $60. a month overhead expenses, three hours a day time on the milk ing and eliminating for the need of the almost ungetable hired man. The Initial cost to Install the ma chine was $375 and 20 cents a day runs the two horse efectrlo mQ.tor, With the machine Mr. Holibaugh milks his herd of 20 registered Jer seys In one and one half hours. Two cows arte milked at the same time and the milk runs Into covered cans, which In turn Is strained into the eporator basin, thereby practically eliminating the uncovered cream In tfa'a barn. The same motor that op erates the machine runs the separat or. The milking tubes are cleaned with hot water and left in a solution 'batweejn mllklngs, making for ab solute sanitary handling. Mr. Holibaugh has a large modern barn of concrete md fitted up with labor saving devices. Every morning his cows are curried, washed, and sprayed with shoo fly and their coats fairly shine. Each cow's milk is weighed and tested once a day, there by eliminating slackers. One cow av erages over "00 pounds of butter fat a year and several run close to her record. A cow must average a pound of butter fat a day to stay In his herd. A Medford creamery calls every day for the cream and the skimmed milk 1b fed to the culves, a few lambs and a flock of 200 hens that Mrs. Ila'lilmugh Is eBpeclally In terested in and to the Duroc hogs which are rained for porkers and of which 150 are usually kept. Mr. HollbnuKh considers the tlrao nd physical energy saved by the milker the biggest featuro and wher. ho Increases his herd he says ho will put in at a nominal expense addi tional milking tubes for milking, oo that four to six cows can le milked at one time. He does not advise In vestment In the milking machine for a herd of less than 15 head, but with that many he considers It al- "vvctsuj. jira aairy oust-' Klamath Indian reservation to Jiess Is the due thing In which he Is have 3600 acres put under water.

Altho the Oregon forest fire pa trol, with' the airplane as the guard. might be considered in its infancy, F. E. Elliott, state forester says he is convinced that the craft in dally operation thruout different sections of the state will be the means by which Oregon and thte federal gov ernment will be saved thousands of dollars annually. Tests Already ConcluHlve This assertion, he says, Is not bas ed on mere speculation, but on the preliminary maneuvers of these sky! monsters already made ovor the dfcusely, forested areas between Port land, and Medford and the Pacific ocean and the Cascade mountains. ' The enthusiasm with which the airplane has been received by the state forester and federal officials is also shared by Major Albert Smith, In charge of the Oregon fleet;. Lieu tenant Kiel. Sergeant McKee and other pilots who have been promi nent In laying out the routes to bo traveled by the planes. "I can seB a wonderful future for the airplane in patrolling the for ests of Oregon," said Lieutenant Kiel, "and it is my opinion that once the officer of the air service for the western division has an opportunity to view the great expanse of timber in this state, he will l only too glaU to co-operate and place all necessary equipment at the hands ot thosb In charge of the patrol work." Lieutenant Kiel is not a novice In the air patrol game, having been en gaged in service tor several months before coming to Oregon. ... i Kxtenddd I'se Inevitable j Sergeant Frank McKee, known lo-1 cally as the dare-dlevil pilot, joins with Lieutenant Kiel in the belief that the airplane has found at least ! onfc channel of employment which ! will continue to expand ns the re- suits ot operations bocome better i known.

Altho forestry officials declare It Is a little early to predict the fu ture service of the airplane In con nection with patrol duty, they are enthusiastic over, recent achieve ments and believe tine present un dertaking In southern and western Oregon will next year extend to all timbered sections of the state, as Clatsop county to get two new co operative cheese factories.
