able, it seems to almost wnything
and everything. X have Hned the
line-up for the wt Thia week

Our starting polat (for -I Had
company) was ilverton; ow des
ti nation. j, Scotia Mills. However,
wt took; tha Ions way - around,
turning over East HU1 toward
Marquam and Molalla. The aut
umn brightness gave an extra
sheen to tha T. T. Leonard holly
orchard a mile east of Silverton.
Tha trees. I recalled, war not
m their Infancy when they ware
moved from Winlock. Weafcu, same
years ago. It took a little while
for them to recover, but they are
doing sU right now. and appear
to have holly berriea ready to
cut for market this season.
Lata chrysanthemums ware
still blooming, under shelter, at
tha Clarence Halveraon home.
Mrs. H alven on is. widely known
as "mum fancier, and those who
have seen her blooms understand
why.
Maraeaaa
All turkeys have not been sold
I noted, looking at huge flocks at
the Ira McBride and C. S. Chris
tiansen ranches, and sheep were
fattening on cover crops in hop
yards north of Marquam. Mar
quam itself is an attractive little
rural town with a couple of stores,
a church, service stations and
homes.
I couldn't help wondering a bit
what were the incentives for the
school Glad Tidings and ML Hope
as we drove by the little rural
'educational centers.
MelaUa
Molalla proved a surprise. I had
n't seen it for soma years, and
Its proportions have changed. It
has almost everything a town
should have a hotel, library (a
Clackamas county library), grange
kail, several churches, stores, the
' ater (a new one la now being
built), pool halls. miUe but no
new coffee shops.
We had no real business other
than curiosity to head out through
the town, across the beautiful Mo
Lalla. toward North Fork Station
and Trout Creek, but the hour of
Hookey-playing was well worth it.
We passed the H. T. Riding pio
neer home, the Shady Dell com
munity, saw some unusually fine
cedar, the Crown Willamette log
ging operations, opened here a
year ago. and a number of fine
Hereford! fattening on pasture.
Back in town, our party chatted
a bit with Dr. John Tweed, veter- j
tnarian. son of tha John Tweeds i
of Prstum. and nephew of Dr.
Peter Tweed of Lebanon. He I
found Molalla- a good place, he 1
aid. for a "horse doctor.' as there ,
are lots of horses in the territory.
He expressed appreciation for the
work he. had had with the gov
ernment remount service before
coming here a year ago.
Bagged
The road took us out past the
attractive Union high school, with
brief stope-at the A. Earl David
son and Marl in Fox Jersey farms,
the latter with its 1943 gold star
herd. Past the pretty George
Parks' dairy farm, and then to
the rigger) part of the journey.
If you like pavement, don't take
this. Even the gravel isn't too
good in places. But the drive from
Molalla to Scotts Mills, through
the Wilhoit country, is well worth
while to anyone even the least
bit venturesome. It has a beauty
and interest you will not always
find along paved roads. Many of
the homes you pass are small, un
painted. crowded against hillsides
with no pretence at lawn main
tenance. Goats stalk the roadside
and hills, grazing along the sharp
banks of the many little mountain
streams. Chickens run at large. As
you view a different type of farm
ing that of logging and chore
farming you feel you are much,
much more than the 10 miles from
your starting point,

fighting cocks are a hobby. There
are a number of breeds many
with unusually beautiful coloring

for breeding purposes. Each year
Fisher sella enough to make the
hobby pay for Itself.
While we were yet traveling tha
ridge, before wa dipped down to
Scotts Mills, deep in the canyon
to our left a little farm settle
ment along tha river between
heavy growths of timber, sur
prised us.- The ravine looked for
all the world like something from
a motion picture setting.
Seetta Mills
Scotts Mills, like Molalla, has
changed in the Last year or two.
A town named for a mill a num
ber of years ago, but without one
in recent years, now has two saw
mills the Kellis and the Jacob
sen mills. I think I liked it better
before the mills came to town, and
the high school was closed. Stu
dents now go to Molalla and Sil
verton. A few miles out of Scotts Mills,
at Walt Saterlee's country store,
we again encountered the high
way we started out on an inter
esting Loop trip of but 43 miles
without one new coffee shop.
Somebody, we all felt, is missing
a good bet! A coffee shop would
certainly make the trip leas rug
ged for me, at least.

Uses of Weed Killer
Chemicals Outlined
The two chemicals, sodium
chlorate and atlacide, . may now
be applied in the dry form to
eradicate Canada thistles and
morning glory, reports O. .
Mikesell, Linn county agent. He
adds that those using it may re
ceive credit under the 1946 AAA
program providing prior approv
al la obtained from the county
committee. The importance of
getting approval before applying
the chemical la stressed.
The usual recommended rate of
application is three pounds of the
chemical to a rod square of Can
ada thistle and four pounds to
a rod square of morning glory.
Both chemicals should be used
with caution as they are poisonous.

Strawberry Plant '
Inspection Takes
Time to Complete
Second inspection of certified
Marshall strawberry plantings
has been completed in Marion
county, reports D. L. Rasmussen,
assistant county agent. Inspections
were made by R. Ralph Clark,
extension horticulturist, and Dr.
S. M. Zeller, plant pathologist st
the state college. Certification for
the 1949 season will be completed
when the third and final inspec
tion is made in about two weeks.
Inspections in this county are
part of the Oregon strawberry
plant certification program which
encourages the production of vig
orous planting stock that is true
to name and will carry a mini
mum of virus diseases and de
structive insect pests. Such plants
are essential to continued prof
itable production of commercial
strawberries in Oregon.
During the growing season, the
grower makes frequent inspection
trips through his strawberry fields
and removes all abnormal, weak
and diseased plants. Special note
is taken' to get all plants infected
with crinkle.
In addition to the growers' in
spections, each field is visited at
least three times by" a represent
ative of the Oregon State college
extension service, which has
charge of the certification.
A third inspection must yet be
made, and following this the
names of growers whose fields
pass the inspections will be made
available. -
Many certified strawberry
plants are sold from Marion
county.
