Ladd Canyon-North
Powder Section of
"Trail" Contracted
Union County drew a $460,
296.50 highway job at the March
20 meeting of the Commission,
when a contract was let to M.L.
& C.R. O'Neil to build the Ladd
Canyon-North Powder Section of
the Old Oregon Trail highway,
reports Ralph Watson, public
relations consultant for the high
way commission. It is a Federal
project calling for 13.58 miles of
grading and roadbed ballast. The
new road when completed will
shorten the driving distance be
tween La Grande and North
Powder by approximately 7 miles
and iron out some sharp curves
in the present highway.
Incidentally, Ladd Canyon is
the route ot the uregon Iran
over which the pioneers of Ore
gon journeyed in the great trek
oy covered wagon more than a
century ago.
Two contracts let by the High
way Commission Monday will,
when completed, bring the Ocho-
co highway up to high standard
all the way trom mnevilie to
Mitchell, with the exception of
the last 10 miles on the Mitchell
end. which will receive a tem
porary oil treatment, and the 18
mile section in the forest, for
which the contract for surfacing
will be let in a short time by the
Bureau of Public Roads.
Plaguing Snows of
Wirer Prove Boon
To State's Wheat
Snow which plagued Oregon
during much of January and
February has turned into a bles
sing tor many Uregon tarmers.
Ushering in the first day ot
spring this week, county exten
sion agents throughout the state
reported general crop prospects
as excellent for this reason. A
minimum of winter kill took
place in fall seeded crops, they
said, due largely to the unduly
leavy snow cover.
Possible exception, however, is
some tree and trailing cane
fruits which stuck up above the
snow during the sub-zero cold
snap. Peaches and boysenberries
are reported hit by cold weather
in some areas of the state.
In the Columbia basin counties,
winter wheat looks good. Sub
soil moisture is short, however.
due largely to the shortage of
rainfall during 1949. Irrigation
prospects throughout the state
appear favorable. Water supplies
in Lake county, however, appear
on the short side and sheep and
cattlemen are learlul that stock
water will be lacking during the
early spring grazing period east
and north of Lakeview.
Going East? Go union pacific
The county line area between
Harney and Lake counties which
lies just above Nevada promises
to be the nation's grasshopper
hot spot again this year. Eggs,
Entomologist R. W. Every at
O.S.C. declares, are virtually un
affected by cold weather. The
hoppers will commence hatching
beginning in April.
Livestock came through the
winter with only normal losses
being reported. Spotted hay
shortages have been made up
by trucking In out-of-county
supplies and by substituting pro
tein supplements.
As high as 90 percent of the
Easter lily bulbs in some fields
in Curry county were damaged.
Steam pull was the problem re
sulting from the soil crust freez

FOREST OPERATION
PERMITS REQUIRED
All logging or similar opera
tions, within the forest areas of
the State of Oregon where timber
is harvested for commercial pur
poses, are required to obtain a
permit for such operation from
the State Forester, according to
C. F. Y'oumans, forest inspector.
Mr. Youmans states that ap
parently many operators are de
linquent in this respect and calls
attention to the fact that closure
of the operation for non-compliance
may result from failure
to secure such a permit.
Application for this permit
may be obtained from William
Wren, from the Forest Protection
office in Kinzua. Oregon, or by
writing the State Forester in
Salem, Oregon.
