Gifts for
Farmer
Fathers
By LILLIE L. MADSEX
Firm Editor, The Statesman
Farmers' wives , and daughters,1
attention! Father's Day is al
most upon you and along with
a couple million other women
in this country you're going shop
The Father's Sos haven't been
forgotten. They've been left out
on" purpose.' They'll : knowj just
what 'to buy father a tie they
can .-borrow ..when stepping out
this summer, a new gadget for
the car any way, they'll know.
But you If you havent been
in a farm gadget store (they
refer to it as equipment) in some
time, youH get your eyes opened
Things have certainly improved.
For instance, you might , buy
the, man of the house one of the
new electrically propelled "old-
fashioned ice cream freezers.
They'd be useful - around the
house when no man is thereto
turn the old hand freezer.
Many Popular Items
Or if your lawn is not set with
automatic sprinklers, a 50-foot
length of plastic hose would be
good. Ifs much lighter for you
to lug around than the old heavy
rubber hose lengths. There are
also rubber-lined robes or rugs
for lawn sitting if you have
time to sit And there are very
comfortable lawn chairs. Too,'
there are fine portable outdoor
lights under which you can work
longer in the garden in the cool
of the summer evening.
, A silhouetted name plate for
the top of the mail box, or a
post near the entrance to the
farm, should be nice. They come
in prices from around $3 to $8,
depending upon how much you
.want on the sign "and how elab
orate the horse, sheep, cow or
dog, which decorates it, is to
be.
In case you have hunted around
for something to measure a dis
tance with, and failed to find a
handy gadget, there are very fine
steel tapes 50-foot ones for $4.25
to $5, and wooden folding rules
for around $2.25. Of course, you
can get both cheaper, but so
long as it's Father's Day, just as
well buy him a good one. They
are a little smoother to use.
I did see a nice steel 10-foot
rule for $1.75. It would fold up
to fit into, the pocket of your
garden jeans.
-Fence Flier Handy
! One of .the handiest little af
fairs I found seemed to answer
the purpose for a lot of things.
The man in the store called it a
fence plier." You could pull
staples with it, you could cut
fence wire with it, and one end
was equipped for hammering. Any
farm wife could find a multi
tude of uses for this. It would
snake a fine Father's Day gift
for only $3.25 although a few
ran higher.
Often times, it's handy to have
something besides the paring
knife with which to cut off a
hit of the porch box or a corner
from a new shelf that doesn't fit
just right There were some love
ly chisels on the market, both
wood and steel, varying in price
from 50 cents to $225 (and
higher). One with a inch blade,
for only $1, the store man told
me, was about the handiest rig
if you only had one.
If there's been an argument

Crater Lalcc
Park Has 100th
Anniversary
The i 100th anniversary of Cra
ter Lake, in Crater Lake National
Park is being observed this year.
John B. Wosky, park, superin
tendent, said no separate -event
is plained though a special exhi
bit is; in the park information
building for the information of
visitors.-- . -. . i:.7 ;
Those who have seen the awe
some 1 grafideur of Crater Lake
will understand in some part the
tremendous excitement experi
enced: by John Wesley winmn,
pioneer mine seeker, who first
saw the deep blueness of the lake
on June 12, 1853. On his trek
through the wilderness in auest
of the famous "Lost Cabin Mine,"
uuiman wandered out of the for
est and stood in wonderment on
the rim of the lake. His notes
on the discovery were quite h
definite and because of the ex
citement of the times in Southern
Oregon it was several years later
before two separate parties came
again to rediscover the lake. Res
idents of Jacksonville named the
lake,! Crater Lake, in 1889, ten
years after Oregon became a
state. It was not until 1902 that
the area was placed in the nation
al park system.
- Since then, many hundreds of
thousands have thrilled to this
wonder of the world which is set
in the cauldron of an ancient vol
cano ML Mazama.

over whether the kitchen stove
stands even or not, get the man
a hand level for around $4-25 Un
doubtedly, therell be a lot of
times this can be used to settle
a husband-wife argument around
the farm. The same goes for a
hand square, and I found a nice
one for $3.50.
Jack Planes Nice to Have
Jack planes could be had . at
all prices and in all sizes. But
again, the man in the store said
the 10 or 12 inch ones were most
handy and could be had for $4.50
to $6.
One wrench which didn't par
ticularly appeal to me as being
useful, but which the clerk said
was "indispensible" around the
farm was a 24-inch pipe wrench
selling for $4.75. He indicated
that no man could get along with
out it, if he didn't have one. That
could be still it didn't look like
anything we women would have
much use for But there was a
set of crescent wrenches, in dif
ferent sizes, that appealed to me
very much more. They'd be use
ful to fix the lawnmower, the
metal wheelbarrow (which if
your husband hasnt one, youll
find much lighter to run than
the old wooden ones). These
wrenches sold for around $6 and
there were three and four in a
set A good handy saw was only
$4.50.
While almost every farm has
at least one hammer, it isn't al
ways just where you want it.
Frequently it's been left on a
fence post in the far field. I
saw some nice steel hammers for
$3.75.

ztppered waist jackets in the
men's stores. Some have knitted
collars and cuffs and waist bands
and some are very light, of nylon.
They range in price from $4.99
to $15 and $16 and they would
be useful to slip on on a cool day
when you have just a little more
garden work to do. If the sleeves
are too long (and men, the clerk
said, didn't like shorl sleeves)
you can always roll them up.
Potorson Rock
Gardens Well
Worth Viewing
Those traveling U. S. 97 north of
Bend, should take time to see
Petersen's rock gardens located a
few miles west of the highway.
The view of the gardens is free
and is like walking through a fairy
land of miniature structures and
castles. The children have fun, too,
riding on the canals in twan-like
paddle boats.
Farm leaders believe that un
cooked garbage is a leading cause
of hog. diseases and recommend
that garbage fed to hogs be
cooked.!
