lysi wrien run time brand In
spectors were placed under state
civil service for the first time.
These Increases amounted to
$14,200.
3. An increase of $9000 in per
diem and mileage costs. This re
sulted from the shifting of in
spectors to more strategic locat
ions so they could carry on com
bination duties as brand inspect
ors and lay meat Inspectors.
4. A $25,000 Increase In misc
ellaneous expenses, including
supplies, materials, new equip
ment and moving of personnel
tp newly assigned areas.
Officials predict the combinat
ion duties as lay meat and brand
inspectors will save the state
money after the initial exDense
of the past year.
Blitz Tree Offer
Meets With Success
Requests for shioment of hahv
Douglas Fir trees to any point
on the globe have been pouring
in at a rate of morp than 1 nnn
Der dav since the annnunrpmpnt
of this free Oregon Centennial
promotion program, March 3, ac
cording to C P "Cork" Mobley,
puouc relations manager for
Blitz-Weinhardt Brewing Com
pany, sponsors of the project.
Mobley said more than 8,000
requests had been received so
far, after the initial announce
ment. These asked to have the
tiny trees sent to every state in
the Union and to 50 foreign
countries covering every sector
of the globe-among them Arg
entina, Australia, India, British
East Africa, Japan, Liberia, Bali,
all major countries of western
Europe, and dozens of others.
Strenuous efforts are under way
to arrange some shipments be
hond the Iron Curtain. Altogeth
er, more than 200 trees will go
abroad as a result of requests to
date.
Styling their project "Oregon
Bandwagon," officials of Blitz
Weinmardt hope other Oregon
businesses and Industries will
work out plans to publicize next
year's Centennial exposition.
Blitz' plan is to send one Doug
las Fir seedling, free of charge,
to any friend, relative or busi
ness associate of an Oregon resi
dent anywhere in the world. Each
seedling is accompanied by a
small leaflet entitled "Oregon
Do-It-Yourself kit," and tells
how to plant and care for the
trees. The leaflet includes an in
vitation to the Centennial.
Replies to date have resulted
entirely from advertisements
which appeared in Oregon last
I week. Still to come are adver
tisements this week in New
Yorker Magazine, and in the
New York Times, April 6, both
of which are expected to bring
a new flood of requests for trees.
Mobley said coupons for the
trees are not necessary, but that
letter requests will "also be hon
ored. The treelets are being ship
ped from the nursery of John
Woods & Son, Salem.
Movement of Wheat
Drops in February
Wheat movement both in and
out of Oregon dropped during
February to totals lower than
those recorded last month and
totals on record for February,
1957. February wheat exports this
year were just over 2.6 million
bushels, according to the month
ly report of T Ralph Harry, grain
division chief for the state de
partment of agriculture.
Wheat arrivals at Portland in
February totaled more than 4
million bushels including 625
carloads from Montana.
February export of barley was
nearly 206,000 bushels which
compares with 312,000 bushels in
January. Incoming barley ship
ments at Portland were 413,568
bushels, down substantially from
the 1.6 million bushels inspected
last month.
