wheelbarrow.
The truck which dumped its
precious cargo holds between 1800
and 2000 gallons and the trailer
between 3200 and 3400 gallons,
making a total of more than 5000
gallons.
Dave Shafer was driving the
Silver Falls truck. The oil truck
was being operated for Lee & Es
tes of Portland.
Soil Erosion
Damage Told
PORTLAND, Ore., June U-JP)
Soil erosion is damaging 84 per
cent of the land in the Pacific
northwest, Regional Soil Conser
vator J. H. Christ said Thursday
. on arrival at his new headquarters
here.
Oregon's erosion losses are enor
mous, Christ said. The state's fail
ure to include more acreage in soil
conservation districts is due large
ly to failure to recognize the grav
ity of the problem, he said.
Washington has 10,000,000 acres
in districts, Idaho 6,000,000 and
Oregon only 1,000,000, he said.

Fire Insurance
Of Federal War
Fire insurance agents are receiving notices of the impend-?'
ing start of the federal government's new war damage insurance
plan, which goes into effect July 1, according to Edward Rostein,
local insurance man. Sale of the government insurance, to be
handled through the private in
surance companies, is expected to
open around June 20.
A temporary system of free war
damage insurance now in effect is
to go out of existence on June 30.
The new insurance is to be
issuable covering public, com
mercial and residential build
ings and contents, railroads and
public utilities, property in
transit, manufacturing facilities
and plants, and vessels and
aircraft.
The Portland district office of
the US department of commerce
gives the following information
concerning the new insurance:
"It will be necessary for every
one who wants protection against
enemy attacks to make his appli
cation as soon as the necessary
blanks are available, because the
blanket protection now in force
will expire, by law, June 30.
"The program has been worked
out in cooperation with represen
tatives of the insurance industry,
and a great majority of those
writing fire insurance will par
ticipate. "Anyone wanting the protection
should contact his local fire in
surance agent or broker.
"The necessary manual of rates,
rules and regulations, and appli
cation blanks are being printed
and will be distributed through
out the United States on or about
June 20.
"The policies will be issued
for a 12-month period to cover
physical loss of real and per
sonal property which may re
sult from enemy attack or ac
tion of our own forces In re
sisting enemy attack.
"Blackout, sabotage, capture,
seizure, pillage, looting, use and
occupancy, rent, rental value, or
other indirect loss or consequen
tial damage will not be covered.
"Effort has been made to pro
vide reasonable protection at as
low a cost to the insured as possi
ble. Recognizing that losses oc
casioned by war are a national
problem, congress specified in its
legislation that rates for this pro
tection should be geographically
uniform, that is, the "rates to be
charged will be the same in the
middle of the United States as
they are on or near the coast.
"The following rates have been
established:
"Growing crops, 5 cents on $100;
farm buildings, dwellings, rural
and urban, including contents, 10
cents on $100.
"No coinsurance will Tie re
quired on farm buildings and
dwellings, but on all other prop
erty a 50 per cent coinsurance
clause will be required, with
fixed credits from the estab
lished rates for coinsurance
above 50 per cent.
"No protection will be given
for accounts, bills, currency,
deeds, evidences of debt, securi
ties, money and bullion. Jewelry,
furs, precious and semi-precious
stones, statuary, paintings, pic
tures, etchings, antiques, stamp
and coin collections, and 'manu
scripts will be protected for in
dividaul owners up to $10,000,

OUT OF THE WOODS
By JIM
The mass production of trees
by mechanized methods that's
the real idea of the Forest In
dustry Nursery on Nisqually
Flats, eight miles north of Olym
pia. Look easterly from the high
way, between the long hill and
the river bridge," and you can't
miss the show. Acres of overhead
sprinkler pipes crisscross land that
looks like gray-brown '. velvet
There's the tree mill, with . ten
million fir, hemlock, spruce and
cedar seedlings in production. .
Lumbermen and private for
est owners hare talked about
such a project for years. A
number of companies experi
mented with nurseries. They
had land areas which had been
burned by cigarette and other
forms of fiends in the forest.
These areas would have to be
planted or remain barren. But
the expense of a small, hand
worked nursery made the per
acre cost of planting too big to
bear. -
Timber growing by private en
terprise has to pay its way, it has
to be a real part of the timber
business, if it is to be more than
a name. At Nisqually seedlings
can be produced for a half-cent
each. Lumbermen and forest own
ers of the Douglas fir region have
joined together to provide a nurs
ery project large enough for ef
fective mechanized operation.
So it's a tree mill, planned, or
ganized and equipped for quan
tity production of tree seedlings,
as a sawmill is rigged up and
managed for the quantity produc
tion of lumber from trees. From
tree mill to sawmill runs a prom
ising new road of forest conserva
tion. .. Great care was taken in se
lecting seed stock last fall. Just
any old cones wouldn't do. They
were picked on sites known to
produce finest quality trees, and
at levels comparable to those
where they will be planted. High
level tree stock won't do well in
the lowlands, and stock from the
bottoms won't thrive up yonder.
The cones were threshed,' and

ford man wrote his draft board,
"don't bother me with any more
draft papers."
The trial of Fred W. Barfoot,
35, for failure to file his selective
service questionnaire, was set
Thursday by Federal Judge James
A. Fee for June 24, on Barfoot's
plea of innocent.
Barfoot earlier wrote that "I re

the seeds cleaned of their wines,
by power machines. Dnrinr the
winter tests were made with
seed oil combinations, by
means of plantings made in
small separate units, all kept at
summer heat by electric soil
cables. Germination and growth
were scientifically charted, with
cases kept on each unit, as on a
patient in a . hospital bed. . The
best soil-seed combination
served as a scientific snide for
preparation of the nursery
ground, and for selection of the
seed to be planted.
One day in April Superintend
ent Charlie Reynolds and his crew
hitched up an odd-looking rig be
hind a tractor. It had the appear
ance of a double-barreled trench
mortar. One of the barrels held
compressed air, while the other
was primed with chloropicrin
tear gas to you and me. The boys
donned regulation gas masks and
away they went down the field,
pumping tear gas, into the soil.
As soon as the guns had gassed
one of the rows, the overhead
sprinkling system was turned on
and the ground given a good wet
ting sealing the gas into the soil.
Seems that the gas kills all of the
weed roots and most of the weed
seeds. Three days or so later the
soil was opened up and the gas
was given the air.
Then, the mechanical drill,
planting at the rate of a thousand
seeds a minute . . . Next fall a
mechanical ground loosener will
dig up the trees. Quick-fingered
girls in the nursery warehouse
will sort, cull and tie them into
bundles, ready for the forest . . .
Out in the woods, on industry
lands which have been burned
over, planting crews will be ready,
with more machines and more
science . . . Some day loggers will
come again, and the long haul
from tree mill to sawmill will be
completed.

Many men who took the work
during recent months and for
some reason did not seek em
ployment with the shipyards are
now being sought out for these
jobs because of special need.
The work Is not heavy and
among graduates of the local
schools are several one-armed
men who are holding full time
Jobs now. Herbert Kling, for
merly of West Salem, who lost
a hand in an industrial accident
several years ago, recently com
pleted the course and b now

John Long, a 19-year-old stu
