Teacher Group : FARM STORAGE POND Gunster Arends, left, Cloverdalo farmer, stands on the dike-edge of the 22,000,000 gallon water storage pond on his farm. Ted Thorson, Mid-State Soil Conserve, tion district technician holds the microphone as Arends explains to a group of teachers on a conservation tour how the pond was built and how it serves him in raising alfalfa, wheat and oats on part of his 240 acre farm. Doesn't It Beat the Dutch How Arends Watered Crop? Special to The Bulletin i REDMOND Sometime next school session 72 teachers who are j telling their classes why water is vital on a farm, will recall a day "in Central Oregon. It was a day recently when they stood in the dusty basin of Gunster Arends' , huge dried-up irrigation pond and4 learned that intelligence can pro- j duce moisture. Jt . The teachers went to Arends j farm and pond in the Plainview district during a field study of re- I source management. The trip also included stops at'the Lazy-Z ranch ; near Sisters; the Lake Creek fish ! i screen; the Brooks - Scanlon tree , farm; Sisters school forest, and recreational areas in the Deschutes National forest. ' Fish hatcheries and a timber sale location were in the Jtmerary. Along the Sisters-Bond highway, the teachers crossed the dike-shore of Arends" nond and gathered in (he bowl while .the Dutch - born farmer explained that his 240 acres carried only flood - water rights. Meltir" snow from the Cascades supplied sufficient water in Squaw Creek for the demand, he said. So Mter prior water rghts along the creek were granted, the pema'nin? lands and farmers got only the surplus or flood - waters when otors had finished Irrig ting. At the neak of summer there was no surplus. Pntrh TraMmy I't Arenas came from North Da kota 10 years ago. His ancestry was Dutch and he had learned dike-building; so he set to work with small equipment to Tub out a water storage pond. Then the Mid-State Soil Conservation dis trict helned him design a large nond and rented equipment to build it. The pond has 20 000.000 gs'Ion (30 acre feet) capacity when full. V storage waters were trwd unt'l July 1 to irrigate Acends' alfalfa, wheat and oats. Then there was no more excess water in the area to fill (Ha pond. It will fill a?ain in the hll, he said, when other farmers have stopped irreaMng. In the meantime, the crops are thriving on what sub-?-.'! initiation they have stored, and any rain that oorr"i! alnrrr Were harvest.

Headquarters were at Hoodoo Ski Bowl Inn, the weeks of July 29-August 3; and August 4 10. Each week of practical studies in conservation was directed by Dr. Ruth Hopson, associate pro fessor of general science; and Robert J. Gridley, coordinator of workshops. The teacher - students spent a day east and one west of the moun tains on trips away, from Hoodoo. They learned about soils, water, timber, fish, game and other re sources peculiar to those slopes. Accompanying them besides Dr. Hopson and Gridley were four oth er regular members of the work shop staff: Gail C. Baker, inform ation officer, U.S. Forest service, Portland; Robert L. Brown, dep uty state conservationist, United States Soil v Conservation service; Austin F. Hamer, education sup ervisor, Oregon State Game com mission, and Arthur K. Roberts, education director, West Coast Lumbermen's association. For the field trips into Central and Western Oregon, the staff was complemented by local agency rep resentatives serving on a special basis. U.S. Apeneies Aid The Soil Conservation service, the Mid-State Soil Conservation district and some of its cooper?. tors were guides and hosts in this immediate area. At the Lazy-Z ranch south of Sisters, the teachers arrived in their chartered bus and gathered in an alfalfa field to watch a dem onstration of soils varitiet and charpcteristics by George Smith, and hear a discussion of terrain, irrigation and r-on practices by Ted Thorson, SCS technicians. The class crossed the hirr'iwfy to the stock pond in front of the ranch house where Hamer exnlain ed the purpose and value of stock ing farm ponds with fish.

In 1939 Hud son buiit his big warehouse and office at its present address. At the time this building was completed there was a grand opening attended by the owner.

He is now celebrating its 50th anniversary. The firm's headquarters is in Portland. Hudson and his partner, Fred P Gram, began it in a small store in 1907. Hudson's first orders came from PrlnevUle and Bend. The business grew rapidly and moved several times to larger quarters then Hud son built his own bunding in 1930 a large structure with docking space on the Willamette rivr.

BEAM City Families Life Advised Thn decision to buy a suburban nonie und acreage js frequently accompanied by , liie problem of how to finance the venture. Sound financing may mean the differ ence between a favorable and un favorable experience. The decision as to how nuch you can sufely pay for a home and acreage is dependent on past savings, income expectations, and the proportion of this income the family is willing to give up for housing. A ru!e-of-thumb is that one should not pay more than l'a to 2M times his annual normal spend able incony; for a home. To ex ceed these amounts means that most families do not have suifi cieni current income for food, clothing, education, recreation, transportation, and medical and dental care. Few families today have suffi cient savings to pay cash for the ieal estate, and to purcliuse (he equipment or livestock needed. Wise use of credit, coupled with family savings, is a sound route to home ownership. One-Third Cash Advisable Experience' indicates that a down payment of 25 to 30 per cent is necessary .to establish reasonable security and safety. For example, if the asking price of a 'piece of property is $15,000, you should have close to $5,000 in cash that you can use as down payment if the financing is to be reasonably safe. Sales contracts often are used when the family does not have enough money, to make a substan tial down payment, then monthly 396-N DRUM BOOK TABLE . $54.95 391-N DROP LEAF COFFEE TABLE I With Gallery) S44.95 387-N STEP TABLE Louvered Doors and Gallery $44.95 ' "l 5'!

The number of years over which a loan is to be repaid determines the size of the payments and also the total amount of interest. The tendency is to accept a quick re payment of interest.
