Closed Season Now On in Forest Lands Closed season on the use of fire on private and public forest lands is again in effect as of April 1, it was revealed this week by state board of Forestry. Burning permils are required for burning brush, grass, stubble or other debris on or within 18 mile of forest land. There have been some inquiries as to the rea son burning permits are required in the early spring and iaie iau following rain showers. One rea son for this is that the rainfall may be quite scattered or heavy crease being cue 10 oeu,r que. in some areas and lighter in oth-jity and fatter catt e Ralph Say- lers.

Provide an adequate spark arrester on all gasoline engines. 4. Provide l'2 quart tire extin guisher with each gas or diesel machine and logging truck. 5. Each power saw to be equipped with 8 oz. or larger pressure extinguisher and one shovel with 36-inch handle. fi. No smokinc while working in or traveling in or through any operation or unreleased slash area. 7. An axe and shovel are re quired on logging trucks in ad dition to the fire extinguisher". Additional requirements may be made by the forester where conditions warrant it. Another requirement which ap plies to this area and is in effect the year around is that it shall be unlawful for any person to harvest timber or other forest products for commercial purpose or to operate power driven equip ment without first obtaining a written permit from the Stale Forester at Salem. The very good public coopera tion in the past has been greatly appreciated and has done much to keep damages to forest land h0KS atu logging equipment to a , minimum. Mrs. J. O. Hager has returned from Ft. Lewis, Washington where she has been visiting at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Lt. Col. and Mrs. C. A. Shaw.

The answer to everyday Insurance problems By Turner Van Marter & Bryant QUESTION: Just how much Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance is a per son supposed to carry these days in order to feel safe in driving? ANSWER: Any competent insurance agent would want to know something of your individual circumstances before stating an exact amount. However the high er limits cost very little more than basic coverage which in these days doesn't give enough protection to anyone. If you'll address your own insurance questions to this office, we'll try to give you th correct answers and there will be no charge or obligation of any kind. TURNER, VAN MARTER AND BRYANT INSURANCE.

OSC Reports New Lead in Study Of White Muscle White muscle disease wide spread killer of calves and lambs through distructton ot muscie tissue has been produced ex perimentally in its most extreme form by an Oregon State college research team. Recent death of a two-weeks-old calf from a "white muscle heart" gives the scientists their first tangible clue in a two-year search for prenatal effects of feeds. The test calf was born of a cow fed only alfalfa hay and cull red beans during pregnancy. Sus pected relation of the disease to high legume rations oi pregnant cows and ewes has oeen unaer study by J. E. Oldfield, animal husbandman. O. H. Muth, veteri narian, and L. F. Remmert, agri cultural chemist. While the di sease has been produced experi mentally in lambs with this type ration, it is the first time it has been done with calves. The disease has baffled science for years and has cost the na tional livestock industry millions of dollars. It has forced some Oregon cattle and sheep produc- It's clear as a crystal why fortune smiles on the man who drives an OK Used Car.

Alhough white muscle appears to'be linked to nutrition, the pos sibility of inherited tendency for the disease hasn't yet been ruled out by the OSC team. No other outward appearance of the di sease has been noted in calves or lambs during the two years' feed- ' ing trials with 10 cows and 10 ewes. Four oi ine cows nave not yet calved this year. All animals were drawn irom xne college stock herd which had no previous white muscle history. Paralytic symptoms of the di sease result from degeneration of the muscle, which loses normal color. Death from recorded cas?s of white muscle heart has varied in time from birth to -three months. Attacks in limb muscles cause "stiff" lambs and calves which are often unable to pursue, and usually die. Further research plans call for attemptsto link certain chemical compounds in legume-bean ra tion with the disease.
