i TU COQUILLE VALLEY SENTINEL, COQUILLE, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1983. Potato and Alfalfa Fields Show Well at Fairview News From Agnew C. C. C. The bóye at Camp Agness ph) tin Rogue are busily engaged in a very delicate and serioua business here at Camp Agness which happens to be the fighting of fires. The boys are all hard at work trying to stamp out the' fires which have started in the vV ctnity of thia camp. It has been said by a good authority that the boys here have shown an aptitude for fire fighting that has never been equalled by any other crews of men in this vi cinity. It is an absolute fact that the boys have to be asked to stay home as all of them are ready to go. Last week on a fire the boys ran up a trail for almost a quarter of a mile to see which one would be first to work. There has never been any trouble as far as work goes in this camp and the boys seem to enjoy their tasks with a smile and a song. The boys who are used to the .work are having great fun with the boys from the cities but all of them work together for a common cause like they had spent their whole life in the woods. The road up the Rogue river is pro gressing very nicely and is way out in front as far as work is concerned. The road 1« graded and leveled about four miles from camp and the right- of-way is cleared about another mile or so. The rock work on thia road is the mbst interesting part of the whole program of this camp as the road is being practically hewn from the side of the cliff for about one-half mile. The boys are driving a road up the Illinois river to connect with the Pis tol river camp and are making fair progress. Rock is again making pro gress slow but the beys are fast get ting on to this rock and will make it look sick in the new month coming up. Just as soon as it rains thè boys will burn up this road work. While it of ten helps us to do more, this time the summer is making it hard for us. The humidity gets so low that it is danger ous and work that requires blasting has to be put to one aide. A lot of the boys would like to spend some time at home over the La bor Day holiday, but if old Jupe Plu- vius does not hurry the boys will be very badly and rudely disappointed because they have been, counting on this release ever since the Fourth of July. The boys are spending their spare time in fishing for steelhead, panning gold, hiking for the eool places next to a spring, or swimming in the river. These warm days find just about all the camp in the river trying to cool off. It has been said that some of the fellows are getting fat but ask the boys about that. . An Itinerant’s Effusion The Sentinel does not claim the fol lowing is much in the way of poetry; in fact, you would hardly designate it as poetry. But it was written in this office Tuesday morning by a man who had seen better days. He had just eplit a jag of wood in exchange for his breakfast at Lisle Goodwin’s Cafe, and said he wanted to get the notion of writing off his chest. The idea he was trying to put over is good, even though his poetic expres sion was not so hot: LIFE Life is a strenuous conquest, It’s hustle early and late; You oft’ will find a philanthropist Who’ll fill your empty plate. There’s no such bird as depression, It’s simply a hole in the ground. Dejection’« the proper inflection, It’s the chirp of a worthless hound, The world is full of labor, The hoarders are holding it back.' The president say«, “help your neigh bor, That’s all there is holding us back.” The sun is shining around you, The earth is turning around, The Bible is strange but true, The water is washing the sand. Cheer up, you croaking sinner, Pep up the discouraged crew, The president’s just a beginner, Wake up and paddle him through. „ —Jeff. Invited to See Huge Banquet Mayor J. Arthur Berg this week re ceived an invitation from Mayor s W. Stockwell, of Grants Pass, to tie guest of honor at th« state fair on Labor Day to witness the presenta tion of the world’s largest bouquet to Mrs. Julius IL. Meier, the «tate’s first lady. The hugs floral piece 1 will be made up of gladioli, *11 from Grants Pass and Josephine country. More than 20,000 gladioli blooms are being shipped to Salem from Grants Pass. The bouquet will be 100 feet long and 80 feet wide and will be held in place by 8,000 separ ate vases. The mayor’s letter states that the presentation ceremony will be wit nessed by thousands. New» reel photographers will be here to record the event. The presentation will be made by J. O. Holt of Eugene, chair man of the board of agriculture. The bouquet’s freshness will be maintain ed through fair week, September 4-9, by new arrival of gladioli from south ern Oregon. Four truck lines have been chartered to do the carrying. Those attending the agricultural field meeting at Fairview last Thurs day, August 24, were thoroughly con vinced after visiting several plantings of alfalfa that this crop can be grown successfully in that community and will produce more feed of liettee qual ity than any other forage crop which can be grown there, according to County Agent George Jenkins. The tour was arranged through the agricultural committee of the Fair view North Fork Grange in co-opera tion with the Extension office and O. R. Hyslop, agronomist from the State College, and was included as part of their yearly agricultural program. Both the 4-H potato club and alfalfa production are being encouraged by the committee, including Ray Dead- mond, chairman, Walter Norris and B. V. Yeoman. The potato projects or Norman and Stanley Powell, members of the Fair view Potato Club, led by Mr. Dead- mond, were viewed at the first stop, after which the Ray Deadmond farm was visited where a potato project be- lortging to Sam Kornher, also a 4-H chib member, was inspected, and plantings of Japanese barnyard mill et, root crop« and alfalfa. A trial planting of soy beans was seen at the W. F. Byerly farm. Ap proximately twenty small plantings of eoy beans have been established in Coos county this year, according to County Agent Jenkins, with the idea of determining their value for a late planted forage crop. Practically all of these plantings are showing fa vorable progress at the present time. Luncheon was served at the Fair view Park for those attending the tour by members of theGrange Home Economics committee with Mrs. Perry Neal as chairman, after which the tour was continued, the next stop being at the potato project of Harold Neal on the Perry Neal farm. On the Walter Norris place strawberries were seen growing under irrigation. A gravity irrigation system which has just been installed on the C. A. Holverstott farm was the next point of interest. This system is providing irrigation water for an old and new seeding of alfalfa which was planted by Curtis and Clynard Holverstott as a Smith-Hughes agricultural project. The 4-H club potato planting of Clyn ard Holverstott was inspected at this' farm. A new seeding of alfalfa was also visited on the R. J. Holverstott place. Because of the presence of a little too much disease, the potato plantings did not meet certification require ments. However, the project has stimulated interest in the use of bet ter seed in the community and mem bers of the club will use every effort next year to produce better seed.- On the following day a crops field tour was held on the A. Grossen and Dave Rice farms in the section north of the bay. The tour was arranged through the agricultural committee of the North Bay Side Grange and was included as part of their yearly pro gram of activities.
