Don'ts for Property
Buyers Cited by Gage
University of Oregon, Eugene,
April 12 A series of 15 "don'ts" for
people buying real estate, which if
observed would save considerable
time, money and "grief," have been
compiled by Dr. Daniel D. Gage,
associate professor of business ad
ministration at the University of
Oregon. Dr. Gage, who has spent
much of his time in study and re
search in the realty field, has also
written a book and numerous articles
on titles.
Dr. Gage's final "don't" is "Don't
ignore the specialized services avail
able to home builders from the real
tor, escrow agent, title assurer, at
torney, home financier, architect and
contractor."
His other "don'ts" are:
1. Don't sign an agreement to
purchase real estate unless the seller
agrees to give you a marketable
title.
2. Don't accept an old abstract or
policy of title insurance.
3. Don't fail to have your attorney
read the abstract immediately.
4. Don't accept a realtor's advice
on title matters. His function is that
of brokerage. Title examination is
entirely different, requiring a spec
ialist in law.
5. Don't buy property until you
know the condition of taxes and as
sessments.
6. Don't buy a lot until you know
deed or tract restrictions.
7. Don't buy an unimproved lot
from a seller who promises to put in
utility improvements later.
8. Don't pay any substantial part
of purchase price to seller until he
can give you simultaneously a deed
or land contract and some form of
title insurance.
9. Don't accept a deed that hasn't
been acknowledged.
10. Don't fail to have the deed
recorded.
11. Don't expect the clerks in the
county court house to be title ad
visers. 12. Don't start any building oper
ationsif you're financing through
a mortgage loan until advised to
proceed by the mortgagee.
13. Don't biuld on a lot in a sparse
ly settled area without a survey.
14. Don't complain because a
mortgage or building and loan com
pany charges you an inspection fee
during construction. They can pre
vent substitutes of cheaper material
or correct other details that might
lead to trouble later.
Insulators Not
Made for Targets,
Ranger Warns
"Those ardent nimrods and good
sportsmen, both young and old,
who use the telephone insulators
for target practice" are asked by
F. F. Wehmeyer, local forest rang
er, if they realize the seriousness
of their depredation.
In opening up the phone line for
service during the fire season, Mr.
Wehmeyer reports finding about
one-third of the insulators near
Heppner up Willow creek to have
fallen victim to shooters.
"As these insulators cost seven
cents apiece, and their spoliation
causes no end of extra work in
replacement, it would seem there
could be something else used that
is a little cheaper and just as ef
fective to sight up guns," says the
ranger, who continues:
"It is believed that such destruc
tion of property is done thought
lessly and with no intent to be ma
licious. We hope those who follow
such practices will be a little more
considerate. While there is no in
tent to be threatening, it should
be remembered that the govern
ment offers substantial reward for
information leading to the con
viction of those who indulge in
any destruction of government
property."
Range Reseeding
Methods Tested
The most extensive large-scale
method-of-seeding program with
range grasses is now under way as
a cooperative venture between the
OSC extension service, U. S. division
of grazing, bureau of plant industry,
and the Squaw Butte regional range
experiment station.
In six Oregon counties 18 differ
ent methods or times of seeding of
crested wheat grass and bulbous blue
grass are being tried out About 160
acres in each of the counties of
Klamath, Deschutes, Lake, Harney,
Malheur and Baker are being used.
Half of each area will be fenced
while the other half will be left open.
As a further test half of the
fenced area and half of the unfenced
will be cleared of sagebrush to elim
inate competition.
Oregon examiners of operators and
chauffeurs met at Salem for three
days this month to study new pro
visions of the Oregon licensing laws
ad to prepare for the rush of busi
ness which will attend the renewing
of approximately 455,000 Oregon
drivers' licenses this summer. Li
censes of all drivers will expire June
30th, and must be renewed by that
time for another two-year period

Cricket Control
Well Organized
On Co-op Basis
A well established federal-state
organization to combat outbreaks
of crickets threatening crop and
range land in Oregon this year has
been active with advance control
work this spring, and is prepared to
meet the various infestations, says
W. L. Teutsch, assistant county ag
ent leader and chairman of the state
committee.
Mormon cricket control is headed
up in the federal bureau of ento
mology and plant quarantine, which
works on an interstate basis thru
out the western states where Mor
mon crickets occur. Under a na
tional and several district leaders
there is a federal entomologist in
each state, who is state supervisor
of control operations.
Actual control work is carried on
in cooperation with the counties,
which furnish poison dust, equip
ment and transportation. Where na
tional forest land is involved the
forest service cooperates in some
what the same manner. The crews
are paid by the bureau of entomol
ogy, which also furnishes trained
supervision.
The state committee in Oregon
consists of Teutsch as chairman; Dr.
Don C. Mote, entomologist of the
experiment station, as state leader
of the project; C. W. Smith, assist
ant conuty agent leader, represent
ing the extension service; Frank
McKennon of Salem, representing
the state department of agriculture;
E. E. Wilson, chairman of the state
game commission; and C. A. Hen
derson and P. T. Fortner, county
agents of Klamath and Baker coun
ties, respectively. Each county agent
is county leader.
Control work in the last three
years has been carried on principally
in Baker, Wallowa, Umatilla and
Gilliam counties, although some
work has been done in Wasco, Klam
ath and Lake counties.
' Control of the outbreak on the
Warm Springs reservation was com
plicated by the fact that it occurred
on Indian service lands remote from
all crop lands except small areas
near the hot springs resort. The
