FrL Til Pa. 1-1311 State Empl i a. oyes Group to Press For Pay Rise Vigorous pursuit of the request for a salaiy raise for state em ployes was voted by the board of directors of the Oregon State Em ployees Association, meeting in Salem this weekend. This action was given top pri ority in a considerable list of matters before the board, which,: in effect is the association steer ing committee for furtherance of activities pointed toward im provement of state service. "The association wants a review and survey of the salary situa tion to determine where state em ployes stand in comparison with comparable jobs in industry", the state president, Virgil G. O'Neil of Salem, explained. "The board feels," he added, "that it is in the general interest of improve ment of state service that the principle of comparable wage for comparable work be realized." Salary Survey O'Neil said the board believes that salary adjustments, where indicated on the basis of a hew survey, will go a long way to ward decreasing personnel turn over, which by its very nature cuts down on efficiency and is ex pensive to the state. He pointed out that it is nearly two years since a salary survey has been made. S At this session the board ap proved a medical and hospital service plan, details of which will be announced to association mem bers throughout the state as soon as the contract is signed. Forrest Stewart, the association executive secretary, outlined the plan de tails to the board. He reported this plan is the most favorable yet offered to the O.S.E.A. mem bership. Officials Commended In another action,, the board adopted a motion commending state officials, state department heads and legislators for their in terest in and efforts for the ad vancement of conditions sur rounding the employes of the state. At the same time the board pledged to them the continued endeavors of the association to improve the efficiency of the state service in the interest of the general state welfare A number of matters relating to the state retirement program were considered. After further study, they will be presented to the legislative interim committee, now studying the whole retire ment setup, for its consideration.

MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman' While 90 per cent of this country and a large per cent in many other -countries of the civilized world are busy obtaining Christmas trees for the holiday season, there is one Salem firm just asbusy producing seeds for more generations of Christmas trees. John B. Wood Sr., of the John B. Woods Tree Seed Company, said that the 1953 seed crop was in the last stages of cleaning before being shipped out While better than the 1952 crop, which was almost a com plete "pass , the 1953 Douglas Fir-seed crop hasn't been very good, Woods said. "The seed crop actually goes cycles," he added. "We have me very good years then some not so good and some poor years. While the demand hasn t been too good locally this year because of the high price, there has been no trouble in disposing of the seed, Woods answered to a ques tion. Douglas fir seed used to sell at $7.50 a pound. Now it's bring ing $20," he explained. "Nursery men are low on seed, but West ern Europe is even lower, and western Europe has made a re markable commercial recovery. The growers of trees there are willing to pay $20 and are clam oring for more seed than we can get them." It was the foreign market which got Woods into the tree seed business in the beginning, he says, as he tells that a fores ter came from New Zealand to the Long Bell. Company where Woods was then working. "That was in 1927 and the man wanted 2,700 pounds of fir seed, more than 1 thought at the time existed," he said as he told that he finally bought out the seed business from Long Bell and came to Salem to open his plant in 1947, after serving wit the fed eral government for 14 years as forester for the lumber code in Washington, D. C. Harvest starts in early August in the Willamette Valley. It was completed in the high country in late November. The valley crop was particularly poor this year, the seed harvester said. Extraction of the seed from the cones has now been completed, and the crew at the cone drier the former Kehne Wain prune drier, on the old Sunnyside road south of Salem is now busy cleaning the remainder of the seed and preparing it for ship ping, mostly to foreign destina tions.
