Farm Beautifying
What'a the favorite outdoor
leisure activity of American
families?
Pleasure driving, according to
the Outdoor Recreation Resourc
es Review. Of course. Americans
also use the outdoors for hunt
ing, flshlnitr. skiing, swimming,
hiking, picnicking and other rec
reational activities. But Just en
joying the beauties of the coun
tryside tops the list.
The natural beauty of rural
America, now enjoyed so much,
is threatened, however.
"Doesn't it Just make sense to
protect Nature's surviving won
ders and restore those that have
been allowed to decay?" asks A.
J. Webber. State Conservationist
Oregon for the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, Soil Conservation
Service.
SCS is helping in the cause of
natural beauty, Webber said.
Secretary of Agriculture, Orville
L. Freeman recently asked SCS
to emphasize particularly the
kind oi'technieal assistance that
promotes beautification of pri
vately owned rural lands.
sr-i is nffprin heln for con
servation practices which add to

scaping values along primary
and secondary roads, he said.
Part of this job involves seed
ing appropriate plants which
contribute to natural beauty.
This can be in small, otherwise
unusable areas of land, field
borders, bogs, marshes, pond and
stream banks and wild areas.
Over the years, SCS has work
ed with locally governed Soil
Conservation Districts In promot
ing good conservation on the
land. Now SCS cooperators
those who participate in other
aspects of the soil conservation
program are being encouraged
to include roadside improve
ments in their conservation farm
plans, Ralph Richards of the
rieppner Conservation district
said.
Eliminating roadside eyesores,
thereby blending farmsteads In
with natural settings, is another
way private land beautification
can be carried out, he said.
A. J. Webber noted that Presi
dent Johnson at the White House
Conference on Natural Beauty
last May, emphasized the im
portance of natural beauty as a
national goal.
The President said: "Today, I
worked and thought about prob
lems in Viet Nam and the Do
minican Republic. I had to con
sider decisions which might af
fect the security of this country,
the lives of Americans, and the
destiny of other nations. Yet this
may be the most important thing
that I have done and am doing
today . . . For this is part of
what all the rest is for."

Top Qualitr In Baces
When you shop for bacon, re
member that bacon must have
some fat to be good. The fat
gives it the flavor and texture.
You probably will find three or
four levels of quality and price.
Top quality has uniform
slices and the best ratio of lean
to fat. Width and thickness are
uniform, and usually there are
more slices to the pound.
Bacon slices in the next qual
ity grade have the same flavor
as the first. But the slices are
less uniform and may be less
tender or slightly coarse in tex
ture and may have a less even
distribution of fat and lean.

Chances are you won't have to go
far to find fence rows and other
non-crop areas that were infested
with weeds this past season. Per
haps now, right on your own htm,
you have a tangle of dead weeds
(and a fire hazard) like this one.
Unless, of course, you've been
using Atrazine 80W the highly
efficient herbicide that can keep
fence rows and other non-crop
areas weed-free month after month
with just one spray each year.
Compare this to other methods
like mowing, discing, or repeated
applications of short-term control
materials and you'll find one-step
weed control with Atrazine reduces
costs, saves time, and gives you
much better results.
Atrazine is effective against a
wide range of annual and peren
nial broadleaf weeds and grasses.

Hunters Urged Jo
The fall hunting seasons are
here. Big game, upiann game
birds, waterfowl all will be le
gal targets for the hunter's guns
during the next several months.
And for this array of game,
well over 300.000 hunters will
be in the out-of-doors to ehjoy
the seasons to come.
Phil Schneider, state game
director, extended his wishes for
the best of success to this army
of hunters, but urged all out
doorsmcn to observe the high
est standards of hunting ethics
in their quest for game this year.
"We cannot condone unsports
manlike conduct," Schneider
said, "if we are to continue to
enoy the hunting privileges
long traditional in Oregon." He
advised hunters to watch their
outdoor manners as insurance to
continued public hunting.
Game Is the property of the
state, he said, but many of the
hunting areas are on private
property. Hunting on such prop
erty Is a privilege, not a right.
. -
How far must you go
to find a fence row like this?
Since seasonal rainfall will mov
Atrazine down into the weed root
zone, where it works, application
should be made now in ordef to
get the best results in this area.
Atrazine also attacks weeds
through foliage, so you can apply
it shortly after weeds emerge, ai
well as before they break ground.
Remember. Now is the time to
act if you want non-crop weed
control through next season with
one spray this fall. Order Atrazine
from your dealer today.
