By F. F. WEHMEYER Volumes could be written and not cover very much of the subject of trees, their products and uses. To begin with, probably all forms of animal life would be extinct if it wasn't for vegetation which utilizes what animal life breathes into the air. If you doubt as to its deadly qualities, place a mouse in a jar ana blow your breath in and cover the jar for a moment Besides delicious fruits and nuts, trees furnish most of our housing, our fuel, our furniture, also medi' cines. soaps, flavorings, dyes, paper, clothing. In fact a list of things too large to enumerate. Civilized life as we know it is entirely de pendent on trees and their various products. Trees are just big plants and like all forms of life are made up ol in' dividual cells, not unlike just an or dinary electric storage battery. The main cleavage between plant lire and animal life is the power oi am mation, though some of the lower forms of plant life, especially ac quatic, are animate and in some cases predatory. A tree is made up of the bole or trunk, the root sys tern, and the branches or leaves. Usually the root system equals the top and this balance must be main tained if the tree is to survive and live. The tree gathers its drinking water from the soil thru the root system, also its mineral elements. The sap is the blood, carrying mois ture and food to all parts of the tree. The leaves or needles act as the lungs and the tree breathes off moisture and gathers in carbon and other necessary elements from the air through this source. Trees are classed in two broad groups, the soft woods and the hard woods. Soft woods are conifers or needle trees and are evergreens The hard woods are deciduous or leaf trees and shed their leaves. It Js all confusing as many soft woods are harder than hard woods and niany hard woods are softer than soft woods. We have two more ex ceptions in local trees. Our larch sheds its needles, though it is a conifer, and our mountain mahog any hangs onto its leaves through out the year though it is a decidu ous tree. Trees have almost as many nat ural enemies as other forms o life and are subject to sickness and dis ease. Old age comes to them in somewhat the same manner as to human life. Not so much through the number of years going over our heads as to the number of colds go ing through them. So trees, after attacks of this and that, finally bow to old age and eventually die. Na ture is ruthless in making way for the new and coming generations by weeding out the old. As life be comes more abundant, natural ene mies also multiply,, otherwise it wouldn't be but a short time until there would be standing room only, for both plant and animal life. Man is not only his own worst enemy but is also the tree's greatest enemy. The heaviest losses to trees come through fire. One fool and one match can undo work on a thousand acres, that it took nature five hundred years to build up, in a matter of hours. Trees can't talk for themselves but considering all they do for us, it should not be nec essary. Guidance Session to be Held at University University of Oregon, Eugene, April 10. Teachers of Heppner are invited to attend a state-wide con ference on educational guidance, one of the most interesting phases of educational work today, which will be held on the campus of the University of Oregon April 12 and 13, it was announced here today by Dr. Nelson Bossing, professor of ed ucation and member of the com mittee on arrangements.

N.W. Farmers Hold Sacks As Grain Imports Mount With 6,510,000 bushels of corn im ported from last July 1 to February 28 and 12300,000 bushels more of Argentina new crop corn ordered for shipment to the United States up to March 15, northwest grain farmers with surplus wheat are taking unusual interest in grain market conditions and grain im portations, says a market report by the Oregon State college extension service. A large part of this corn entered Pacific coast ports from Argentina where a large new crop is now coming onto the world mar ket Washington D. C. press releases point out that imports of all grains in the eight months from July 1, 1934, to March 1, 1935, were only six-tenths of one per cent of this country's average production of grains, and less than two per cent of the loss to grain crops caused directly by the drouth. Although not great in proportion to the reductions caused by the drouth, imports during the recent months are several times greater than normal, much of the increase going to drouth areas. In addition to the corn, 9,321,000 bushels of oats. 7,824,000 bushels of barley, 5,864,000 bushels of rye and 9,511,000 bushels of wheat were imported into the United States during the eight months from July, 1934, to Febru ary, 1935. Grain farmers point out that wheat imports already are nearly as large as the surplus wheat left unsold in the Pacific northwest, while the above-normal imports of rye, corn, oats and barley com bined amount to at least twice that surplus. Most of the wheat imported came from Canada into the central states area. Nearly half of it was wheat not fit for milling dutiable at 10 per cent of its value, used for feed in the drouth areas. Hay Imports totaled 49,000 tons from July 1 to February 28, mostly from Canada into the drouth a.-eas in the north central states where much hay from Oregon and other western states was marketed this season. Sal NEWS Frost Warning Service Given Medford More than 240 orchard thermometers and 25 frost alarms were brought in to the office of County Agent L. P. Wilcox for test ing during the month of March by growers who practice orchard heat ing. These were tested and correc tions noted. Daily weather fore casts are now being given orchard- ists of the county by a member of the fruit frost service of the U, weather bureau, who came to the county March 25 for this purpose, Custom Hatching, .02 & .OVA.

State and county aid for the poor, aged, dependent widows and mothers and indigent will cost each resident of Oregon approxi mately $3.75 this year. In addition to the 1$,000,000 appropriated by the recent legislative session relief budgets of the several counties for 1935 aggregate $2,188,875. Of this amount $976,120 has been budgeted for old age pensions, $824,057 for care of the poor, $290,392 for sup port of dependent widows and mothers, and $98,306 for care of in digent soldiers and sailors. Gilliam county has been the most generous in its provision for its needy ctiizens with a budget of $16,- 500 or $4.76 for each of the county's residents. Wallowa county has set aside only $6,450 for relief purposes or 80 cents per capita. Relief ap propriations for 1935 by some of the other counties include: Baker, $61, 850; Clackamas, $157,000; Colum bia, $49,100; Coos, $79,035; Grant $20,300; Hood River, $23,800; Jack son, $82,172; Josephine, $21,350; Klamath, $59,300; Lincoln, $26,500; Malheur, $37,000; Morrow, $10,900; Polk, $38,200; Umatilla, 61,186; Un ion, $43,850; Washington, $45,900; Yamhill, $41,000. Utility corporations paid a total of $6,661,261 in taxes in Oregon last year according to figures compiled by the state tax commission. This was approximately 17 percent of the total property tax. Tax pay ments by the Portland General Electric group alone amounted to $1,143,836. Whereas tax payments by power, telephone and water util ities have increased gradually over the past 12 years, payments by rail road companies, on the other hand, show a gradual decrease. e Distribution of $275,000 to the 4500 shareholders of the Western Sav ings & Loan association was made this week by Chas. H. Carey, cor poration commissioner. The dis tribution was made on the basis of 17 5-8 cents on each dollar invested in the association. The announcement by Frank C. McCulloch, public utilities commis sioner, that harassing of public service corporations is to end is in terpreted here as an abandonment of the old policy of utility baiting that has characterized former util ity commissioners. McCulloch pro poses to substitute negotiations for the long drawn out investigations of the past most of which have led to still more expensive litigation with little or no relief for the rate) payer. Governor Martin has forwarded to the federal emergency adminis tration of public works, an appli cation for a grant of $4,200,000 for reconstruction of the Troutdale- Cascade Locks section of the Co lumbia river highway. Hopes for favorable action on the request are based on the fact that the huge ex penditure is made necessary by the development of Bonneville dam which is a federal project After 16 years of investigation and litigation the state has ulti mately lost its fight for possession of the Malheur and Harney lake beds. The United States supreme court has held that the lakes are not navigable and therefore not state property. The long fight has cost the state more than $10,000, Title to other lake beds will prob ably be affected by the court's ad verse decision. e It's not the amount, it's the prin cipal of the thing according to At torney General Van Winkle who holds that serving as a state legis lator and a member of any one of Oregon's numerous boards and com missions at one and the same time is in violation of the constitutional inhibition against holding two lu crative positions of offices at once. In this connection Representative Lew Wallace of Multnomah county will probably have to kick back with the per diem he drew for serv ing as a member of the game com mission on February 2 and 9 while he was still drawing his per diem as a member of the legislature. From the way Income taxes are rolling in it begins to look as though Prosperity had made it around the corner at last Actual collectons so far this year are more than $400,000 ahead of those of last year. John Cooter, speaker of the House, seems to have put one over on the political prognostlcators. While they have been speculating on the possibility of the Lincoln county legislator landing a state job he has been quietly angling for a federal berth which he now con fidently expects to land. Cooter is out after the newly created post of farm relocation director for Ore gon, an activity coming under the federal re-employment program. He took advantage of his recent trip to the national capltol to contact federal officials in charge of this program and expects a definite an nouncement within the week. e Reports reaching the capital from eastern Oregon would indicate that the bite which Clint Haight, editor of the Blue Mountain Eagle at Can yon City, suffered from the political bee is more serious than was at first suspected. It is now rumored that Haight is harboring an ambition to go to Congress to put his legislative experience to the test in a larger field. He may contest Walter Pierce for the democratic nomination from UNIVERSITY OF OREGON MUSICIAN WINS HONOR Actions More Important Than Advice, With Kids A new understanding of the Im portance of the changes taking place in family life and the rela tionship of the family to a changing modern society was perhaps the key idea carried home by the 401 wo men from 16 counties who attended the fifth annual Home Interests conference at Oregon State college February 12 to 15. In addition they gained a wealth of up-to-the-min ute information concerning almost every phase of homemaking. Besides some 30 members of the regular college staff who took part in the conference program, a num ber of outside authorities of state and national reputation were brot to the campus for the occasion. One of these was Alice Sowers, par ent education specialist of the Na tional Congress of Parents and Teachers, who pointed out, among other things, that "the chief train ing any child gets is what his par ents do and are, and not what they tell him." Another visiting specialist was W. P. Jackson, field secretary of the National Recreation associa tion, whose topic was "Recreation, a Home and Community Need." The increased interest In this subject was indicated by the enrollment of 157 delegates in the series of spec ial "training conferences" for group leaders in recreation led by Mr. Jackson during the week. A simi lar series was conducted in parent education by Miss Sowers and Miss Flora Thurston, acting professor of child development and parent edu cation, who was also one of the principal leaders of the conference. Ample opportunity to get ac quainted with each other and with the college staff and campus was afforded by evening get-togethers, teas, luncheons, parties and trips to places of particular interest. A fes tival of plays was participated in by winning casts from Jacksan, Jose phine, Lane, Multnomah, Clacka mas, Columbia and Deschutes coun ties.
