Illinois Valley News, Thursday, September 21, 1944 Page Four WINGED PACKSTOCK VALUABLE ASSET station bulletin 9-E. This is not an agricultural bulletin but copies may be had free by writing direct to the engineering experiment sta tion at Corvallis. None of the 75 Douglas fir posts set in January 1928 after being given the salt treatment has fail ed, nor have any of the 25 lodge pole pine posts treated and set iiP 1938 failed, although most of the untreated lodge pole posts set at the same time have rotted off, whether set green or dead. The bulletin also shows the life of posts of other species. The salt treatment is not new in Oregon though it has not been generally used, says T. J. Starker, professor of forestry on leave who has been in active charge of the project. Posts are treated while green with a tablespoonful of a mixture made up of equal parts of corrosive sublimate, arsenic and common salt. A three-fourths inch hole is bored in the post about six inches above the ground line, slanting downward. After the mixture is Worthy Matron Myrtle Larsen presided at the first fall session of Western Star Chapter, O. E. S.. in the Masonic hall at Kerby last Tuesday evening. After the busi ness meeting a social hour was en joyed and refreshments served in the banquet room. Mrs. Jessie Leonard who is leaving soon for Los Angeles was presented a gift from the Chapter. YOUTH FAIR inserted the hole is plugged to pre vent possible poisoning of stock. If posts larger than 4 inches are used two holes are recommended, with a proportionate increase in amount ' of material used. MAYBE You C.n M.k< Monty Without ADVERTISING- ‘ C. The Illinos Valley Airport plane furnished not only transport for the Smoke Jumpers, but also sup plied the remote lookout stations. Six stations were supplied a total of 200 pounds in one and a half hours flying time. The dropping is accomplished with a burlap parachute at an ele vation of about 300 feet above the station. The plane circles once to locate the correct spot, then drops the cargo on the second pass. All cargo has landed within from 20 to 100 feet of the target without material damage to the contents. The York Butte telephone failed and left the lookout without com munication. A replacement tele phone was dropped in on short no tice and the station could again re port fires. Fire camps used to be located near water, requiring a long hike to the fire line after a long wait for supplies. Small camps, all air delivered. may now be spotted near the fire line with the saving of i ' much precious time. This does not mean that heavy freighting by pack strings will be replaced. It does mean, however, that much of the light mid-sum mer and emergency supplying may be done more economically and expeditiously than with the stock. ------------- o-------------- Eastern Stars Hold First Fall Meeting Salt-Treated Posts In Test Pass 16-Year Mark Posts in the experimental post farm at Oregon State College that were treated with the so-called salt treatment before setting have completed 16 years without a sin-I gle failure, according to the latest progress report issued on this pro ject as engineering experiment ¡FRENCH LAUNDRY J & DRY CLEANERS | Agencies Krieger's, Cave Junction Lew Hammer, Selma Waldo Motel, O'Brien Call Wednesdays Protect roofs now Standard’s tough asphaltic coatings seal against weather damage, stop leaks, resist cracking and checking.
