AGRICULTURAL PROJECTS FOR
COMING YEAR DISCUSSED AT
MEETING HELD JAN. 27TH
Monday, .January 27 the agricul
tural committeemen o f Clackamas
county met at Maple Lane grange
hall to discuss the agricultural pro
jects fo r the coming year.
Projects v )g e discussed, point by
point, and good recommendations
made. The rodent control program
which proved very effective in the
past in destroying several thousand
pests was extended to include the
garden and field slug, which eats
tons o f cover crops, hay and truck
gardens.
It is now possible to get the slug
nearly 100 percent by use o f mettal-
dehide bran bait. In fact the slug
will leave lettuce and carrots fo r this
tempting bait, which finishes their
destructive work.
The short-tailed field mouse is not
a gopher. The gopher has paws simi
lar to a mole and casts up a mound
o f soil. Theie are none known t<j
exist in northeast Clackamas county.
Everyone in the county is asked tc
help in the rodent control whether a
grange member o f not.

PETITION ASKING COMPLETION
OF FOOTHILLS HIGHWAY TO
BE PRESENTED SOON
M ayor S. E. Wooster who has ta
ken the lead in the circulation o f pe
titions asking the state highway com
mission to complete the Foothills
highway or Woodbugn-Sandy road
said this week that arrangements had
been made to present the petition
to the commission on Thursday, Feb
ruary 27 at 2 p.m.
Hundreds o f names have been sign,
ed to this petition which reads as
follow s:
"W e, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers o f Clackamas county, Ore
gon respectfully request that the por
tion o f the Foothills highway or the
Woodburn-Sandy road be completed,
beginning at the N. E. corner o f th*
George Generowski farm in Sec. 4,
Twp. 4-4 thence northerly over the
survey o f the said secondaty state
highway No. 160 to a point near the
south line o f the John Stormer farm
in Sec. 29, Twp 3-4, a distance o f
about 3 r les more or less. W e know
the completion o f this short stretch
o f this highway w ill be o f great value
to the people o f this section and to
the entire state and urge you to give
the project your most serious con
sideration.’”
It is pointea
* that the impor
tance o f completing the Foothills
highway cannot be underestimated,
since it is by means o f this road that
the communities o f Molalla, Colton,
and Estacada are placed on a main
highway running from Woodbum on
the Pacific highway to Sandy on the
Mt. Hood loop road. I t is believed
this highway when completed will re
lieve the congestion o f tra ffic be
tween Salem and Portland thus o ffe r
ing a direct route to the Mt. Hood
loop road for motorists who desire to
avoid the larger cities. The Foothills
highway is unsurpassed fo r scenic
beauty and in spite of the fact that
the road is not yet completed the traf
fic on this highway is rapidly in
creasing.
