Back Yard Fireplace
Can Be Inexpensive
For an outlay of no more than
$20 it is possible to construct
a backyard fireplace w ith plans
detailed in a new mimeograph
issued by OSC entitled "Outdoor
Fireplaces” which is now ready
for release through county exten
sion offices or by w ritin g direct
to the college. More elaborate
designs are also given.
The 13 page mimeograph,
which includes numerous draw
ings showing construction details,
was prepared by John C. Camp
bell, OSC extension rural housing
specialist. Included in the m im
eograph are details for building
combination fireplaces and barb
ecue pits out of concrete blocks,
brick, or field stone.
Complete instructions as well
as bills of materials for each are

Heres how you can spend that

Bring back a few sacks fu ll of
tree seed bearing cones. Charles
R. Ross, OSC extension forestry
specialist, says government and
private seed dealers are lookking
for tree seed this year as never
before. With plas for stepped
up reforestation work, nurseries
are looking for more seed.
That, coupled w ith a few lean
seed gathering years has placed
a premium on certain forest seeds.
Wanted particularly are cones
bearing seeds of Douglas fir, hem
lock, Port Orford cedar and
white fir.
From one well established de
aler in the state, the forestry
specialist has obtained thf follow
ing price information. On a per
bushel basis, Douglas f ir cones
are worth 75 cents to $1.50. Hem
lock cones are worth $2.50 per
bushel; Port Orford cedar $5; and
white f ir from $1 to $2. There
is also market for sugar pine
cones.
Ross points out that all the seed
gathering opportunities are not
in the mountains. Any yard and
pasture trees are excellent cone
sources.
The white f ir species wanted
are Ables concolor and Abies
brandis. Ross suggests that cone
gatherers check w ith market out-
lets to make sure they have
the desired strain of white fir
before picking large quantities.
In most cases dealers are w illing
to call at farms to purchase cones.
And, here's an adde tip on where
to look. Follow the squirrels, Ross
suggests, since they have a bum
per tree crop to w ork on this
year and they are busy now.

example is the Moreland-Sellwood Bank's financial
cooperation in establishment of the Moreland Medical

its medical and dental equipment and space for future
growth, adds another convenient health facility to this
growing section of Portland. The Center overlooks the
