Earlc Jossy County Extension Agent Eight Good Features Listed For Use When Buying Iron Are you buying a new steam Iron? Eight good features to check on when purchasing an electric hand Iron are listed by the Oregon Experiment station as a result of a study of equip ment for hand Ironing in the home: 1. Power a rating of about 1000 watts is desirable for fast healing. 2. Dial to control heat lo cated wriore It is easy to read and move when ironing. 3. Handle of heat resistant material, such as plastic or wood, shaped to fit the hand comfort ably. 4. Beveled (or slanting) edge for ease in ironing around but tons. 5. Cord well Insulated with a secure, flexible connection where it is attached to the iron. 6. Sole plate shape and size suited to the ironing lob. A large sole plate saves time when fam ily Ironing includes considerable flat work. A smaller, narrower iron Is more convenient for young children's clothes, ruffles or other fine detail clothing. I. weight an iron weighing no more than four pounds saves energy in lifting. B. iron rest side support. heel support or a flat, heat-proof pad to set the iron on proved equally good in a time and mo tion study. However, the metal stands that are relics from the days of stove-heated irons waste both time and energy, the station finds. D. Eula Wintermore, County Extension Agent, Home Economics. Wagner Creek Stepi For Control of Common Cattle Grub Advisable Generally little interest Is shown in insect control at this time. However. 4-H beef and dairy club members will find it advisable to take steps to con trol the common cattle grub. home grubs are BDuearing now in the backs of 4-H animals and will continue to appear through late spring. Controls for this in sect are simple, inexpensive and effective. It is recommended that 4-H members use a wash pre pared from the following: twelve ounces of dcrris or cube having a five per cent rotenone content and four ounces of granular laundry soap dissolved in one gallon of warm water. Application can be made with a sprinkler Jar, with the solution being brushed in with a stiff brush. The first application should be made just before grubsdrop from the animal's back and should be repeated at 30-day in tervals. Grubs remain In the back for about 30 days before dropping to the ground. At the same time members can control lice by applying some of this material along the neck and Wagner Creek, Jan. 16 Mrs. Robert L.

Starting Monday, January 23, the lumber men begin to congregate there, for oratory, argument, love feast, song, dance, and welkin-ringing in general, It Is a record-breaking occasion. The first half of the week the members of the Western Retail Lumbermen's association will hold the fort and shoot the fire works, and then the big chiefs of the tall timber, the members of the West Coast Lumbermen's association will invade the field -while Portland is still rocking. All of this. I hasten to state. is the old literary symbolism. In this day and age lumbermen are nothing if not genteel. They form as seemly a convention audience as may be seen anywhere. Their voices are ever well modulated and it is doubtful if "Holy old maehinaw!" will be heard once in Portland all week. However, these are to be mighy meetings. They are point ed at an estimated $15 billion of U. S. home building business in 1950 for just one thing. They are vitally concerned with the big gest peacetime government pro grams ever heard of. They have to do with the present income and future management of the Northwest's major industry and No. 1 resource. The Lumber Merchants . . . The typical growth of Ameri can communities practically al ways began with some sort of lumber yard. Retail merchandis ing of lumber ranks as one of America s oldest businesses, in its pioneer phase the lumber merchant commonly operated his own sawmill or the sawmill operator sold his own cut to the consumer. When the railroads were built the retail lumberman came with them, starting a yard by the new siding in each budding town. Many of the nations 25.000 re tail lumber establishments of to day began as sheds by a raw railroad siding. Their history represents American private en terprise at its best. The original investors took terrific risks on the future of the pioneer villages in which thev sank their money. Again and again all was lost. But there were some who came through, not iust growing upi with the country, but building up the country as they built : their businesses. I What the members of the West em Retail Lumbermen's associa-, tion will face in their 47th an nual convention, like their busi ness brothers in other conven tions throughout the country, is the threat of government inva sion of the building business to their Investments. They must submit to a tax load that piles up and piles up until the back bends, the legs spraddle and wob- ally famed radio preacher and orator. Dr. W. H. Alexander, Oklahoma City pastor, who was once an amateur champion box er. I keep wondering if he Is ex pected to help the lumbermen prepare to meet their end or to inspire tnem to pucn in ana ngni through. The Sawmill Men . . While the annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's as sociation is more centered on the actual work of the organization than on consumer merchandising and entertainment features, the sawmill men also have some rousing numbers on their program. There is Senator Malone of Nevada, for example, who is to be the orator of the evening at the dinner on Thursday, January 27. A powerful foe, in both speech and deed, of all that is on the march nowadays to pipe the people over the hill to the poorhouse and down to the sin holes of Red Gulch, the Nevada solon will really make the welkin ring if anybody does. And the triumphant story of West Coast lumber advertising and promotion is one to bring cheers from the toughest sur vivor of old-time lumbering sales ways. This story is to be told and pictured. And, the first West Coast lumber movie of top class among industrial films is to have its premiere. Big doings. Paul Bunyan himself may be expected to show up any minute. Forty thousand persons were needed to lift stones comprising the Temple of Jupiter in Baal beck, Syria.
