of about six miles, which, it is be
lieved by forest officers, will equip
the range to take care of 3,000 more
cattle. .' ,. ' '. ,
The eradication of poison plants
which cause some annual loss of
stock was successfully accomplished
last year on a 20-acre area of tall
larkspur on the Siskiyou National
Forest. A similar area on the Min
am " will be grubbed out early in
June by the forest service and the
Goose Creek Cattle and Horse asso
ciation in co-operation. Fourteen
other poisonous plant areas have
been located by forest officials and
will be taken care of as rapidly as
possible.
The amount of range available in
the national forests is limited, says
Mr. Cecil, and the purpose of range
improvements by the forest service
Is to give the ranges greater carry
ing capacity because of more inten
sive development.

RURAL CONSTRUCTION WORK
Farm products have a greater
purchasing power today than ever
before in the country's history. Thin
may explain why rural districts of
the country rapidly are getting un
der way with building and construc
tion work. It is obvious, since
building and construction work have
such an important bearing at this
time on stimulating general business,
the farmer may serve both his own
and the national interest by at ouco
making needed improvements on his
property. He can further the gener
al welfare while assuring himself of
immediate and permanent benefits,
in urging road construction and im
provements in his locality.
It is generally understood no ma
terial reduction may be expected in
building and construction costs in
the near future. To be sure, prices
on some material may be slightly re
duced in the readjustment, but the
best authorities on the subject as
sert no pronounced reductions are
probable. This is explained by mon
ey conditions, the foreign demand,
and the marked curtailment of pro
duction of building materials during
file war. Prof. Fisher of Yale Uni
versity has issued a statement in
which he says the country is on a
new price level from, which there will
be no general recession.
Many farmers have been unable to
get materials and labor for barns',
silos, houses and other improvement:!
during the war. The farmer who at
once avails of the labor supply and
gets his Improvement work unde.
way, in the long run,, may prove to
bo the prudent business man, for
there is reason to believe that farm
ers who delay in the hope of mater
ially reduced construction costs will
have been deprived of the use of the
improvements and in the end forced
to pay approximately the building
prices now prevailing.
In several states, among them Mis
souri, Oregon and Colorado, silo
building campaigns are being carried
Psnhlir. S,
HHPS
on by the Agricultural colleges. In
Wisconsin there is a milk house cam
paign being vigorously prosecuted in
the dairy districts, while in Illinois
farmers are being, urged to build
feeding floors. Other campaigns foi
farm improvements are" on in Neb-'
raska, Kansas, Minnesota, South Da
kota, Kentucky, Ohio, and in locali
ties in Texas and Iowa. While
many of these are being conducted
by building interests, the Division of
Public Works and Construction De
velopment of the United States De
partment of Labor is interested in
peeing them successfully carried out
because the division realizes such
activities on the farms are bound to
have a beneficial effect on general
business conditions.
The farmers of the country should
have an unusual interest in road
building at this time. If farming is
to continue on its present profitable
level, thereni ust be no business stag
nation in the country and t.'ne vast
road building projects in the various
states are destined to exert a pro
found influence in keeping "business
as usual" or "better than usual."
Hoad building creates a demand for
materials and absorbs labor, and the
labor problem is a serious one at
present and will continue serious un
til American industries have read-
j jiifted themselves to peace produc
I l ion on a scale to meet the augmenl
I f;l demand of America and Europe.
' Plans for dwellings prepared by
the United States Housing Corpora
tion for building homes in congested
industrial centers during the war are
to be made available for general
public use. The department of la
bor has announced that types of
homes would be given to "Own Your
Own Home" committees, promoting
building activities in 40 cities. . '
, In the department's effort to ex
pand the home ownership campaign,
letters were sent to 'municipal offi
cials,, labor leaders and club organi
zations in 400 cities urging the tie
ginning of local campaigns.

New driveways, bridges, canals
and drift fences are included in the
Forest Service plans for Improving
the grazing ranges on the national
forests of Oregon and Washington,
according to District Forester Ceo.
H. Cecil, of Portland. Forty-three
bridges, forty-six trulls and drive
ways, twenty-four corrals and foity-
$ .three drift fences have already been
M built to facilitate the handling of
V stock on the national forests of the
T district. Water development "nns
been made in 206 places.
The value of water development
If) illustrated by the Cabin Lake
range, on the Deschutes National
Forest, which formerly supported no
stock because water wan lacking. A
deep well equipped with a gasoline
pump now provides sufficient water
for 600 cattle, and It Is planned to
(iood young Jacks for sale. Will
