"Ed" DICK 676-9633 Standard Oil Company of California lie said there is also a new concept in the treatment of coy otes. Some officials, he said, are claiming that coyotes do not kill sheep. Carmen stated that sheepmen have been under a terrible misconception for many years, if the new educational concept is true. He said the on ly time coyotes do not kill sheep is when there are no sheep around. He pointed out that since the sheep population has dwindled east of the mountains, coyotes have turned to calves and deer and that a large deer Kin is expected this year from tne predators. Carmen said predators contin ue to cut profits for the sheep men in all parts of the state and if not controlled can be come a major loss factor in a few years.

Mar IS. 1969 Forest Service Lists Vandalism Delicate lava formations in central Oregon cave were being destroyed by vandals and sou venir-hunters, so the Deschutes National Forest closed the cave to entry except with a guide. But vandals are a determined lot. To gain entrance, they cut a bar off the wire mesh gate placed over the 4-foot-square opening to the cave. That was one of dozens of acts of vandalism recorded by the Forest Service in its annual survey of damage. In 1968, acts of vandalism caused damage to tailing nearly $53,000 in the Na tional Forests of Oregon and Washington, according to Reg ional forester tnaries A. Con naughton. The total does not include regular maintenance and cleanup costs. The cave mentioned above is Lavacicle Cave, 46 miles south east of Bend. The gate has been repaired and reinforced. The cave with its treasure of irre placeable stalactites and stalag mites formed by dripping lava were discovered in 1959 during mopup of the Aspen Flat forest fire. The cave area has since been designated the Lavacicle Geological Area. Last year, there was the us ual amount of sign-stealing and defacing, wrecked toilets, chop ped up picnic tables, and other acts of destruction. Padlocks weren't much of a challenge to vandals and thieves, the Forest Service fount There were several Instances In which boxes used to collect camping charges were broken Into and the money stolen. A sign disappeared at No name Creek in the Mt. Adams area of the G if ford Plnchot Na tional Forest, which was not particularly surprising since signs with odd names are a favorite of collectors (thieves). Here are a few more Interest lng examples of vandalism dur ing the year: 1. A Forest Service horse was shot near Green Mountain east of Darrington, Wash., in the Mt. Baker National Forest. The dis trict ranger surmised a deer poacher made a mistake. 2. Cornell Creek scaling sta tlon one mile west of Glacier in the same forest was burned. Loss was estimated at $500. 3. In the Mt. Hood National Forest on Highway 26 Just northwest of Warm Springs, Ore., vandals stole a bronze plaque marking the Robinson Research Natural Area. The sou venir had cost $300 installed. 4. On Larch Mountain In the same National Forest, 10 juven iles teamed up one day last August to: Break open a sup ply cabinet, burn 10 rolls of pa per and a cloth towel, plug a toilet, strip boards off a rest- room, build fires in the men's and women's restooms, dump some garbage cans, and depart 5. In the same forest. 30 lock were shot off the gates to the Bull Run watershed during the year. The watershed, source of Portlands water supply, is not open to the public. 6. The Oohoco National For est. Prlnevllle, Ore., experienced a rash of incidents In which timber sale boundary signs were destroyed, right at the time tim ber sale administrators were In need of money and personnel to make sales to meet the demands of a wood-hungry nation.

'trfi' A 1 - a -W .. - t s' - 3 Here's a combination that's hard to beat for big capacity baling. Simple in design, there's nothing but an auger and three packer fingers to keep full charges moving into the bale chamber. The floating auger takes hay away from the pickup and moves it across the feed table in a smooth, steady flow equally efficient in alfalfa, slick prairie hay, or long coarse sudan. As the hay load becomes heavier, the belt drive automatically exerts more driving force on the auger to keep hay on the move without bunching or strip ping. The floating auger extends three quart ers of the way acros3 the feed table. This provides a large hay reserve area, especial ly valuable in light or varying windrows to assure full, even charges into the bale chamber. Three 9l2-inch wide-span packer fingers sweep a full charge every time into the big 270 square inch feed opening. A shear bolt protects packer fingers against damage. ' r S "i ' J .
