fertilization, improved grass var
ieties and approved pasture man
agement should be considered.
The Illinois experiment station
reported that almost 450 pounds
of mutton per acre was produced
on ladino clover pasture. North
Carolina seeded 200,000 acres to
ladino clover pastures In 1949.
This brings the total acreage In
this state alone to from 350, 00U
to 400,000 acres. The goal for
1950 Is one-half million acres to
be seeded in 1950, according to
S. H. Dobson, agronomy exten
sion specialist for North Caro
lina. Oregon producers have found
that ladino clover has consist
ently produced more forage and
better gains foe all classes of live
stock than any other grass. Lo

Ammonium Sulfat Will
Stimulate Growth of Lawns
Now that we're getting a little
sunshine and warmer weather
our lawns should start to grow.
The cold and cloudy weather of
the winter has left most of them
rather brown, and until quite a
little growth has occurred they
will stay brown. This growth can
be stimulated by the use of a
little ammoniun sulfate or any
of the complete fertilizers. One
reason the grass is slow in start
ing in the spring is that the bac
teria which make the soil fer
tility available are not active.

A concentrated effort was under

you wish to control the moss but
are not anxious to have your
grass grow as vigorously as will
result from the use of this am
monium sulfate, you may wish
to attack it a little differently.
For the control of moss on trees
we use bordeaux sprays, ine
coDDtr In this spray is very toxic
to the moss and it soon dries up
and drocs off.
While I know of no Instances
where this has been tried on
lnwn moss. It seems that it
should work equally as well. If
you want to try it, buy some
regular bordeaux mixture or any
of the fixed coppers and cither
thoroughly spray the moss or
dust it on with a little hand dust

be expected, but if it is going to

Livestock marketing centers
report that every year a con
siderable number of lambs are
sold with long tails. The cus
tom In these cases Is to rather
drastically reduce the prices for
these lambs.
Lambs should be docked and
castrated within a week of birth.
Any wounds should be treated
with stock grade iodine. Also,
the navels of new born lambs
should be treated with iodine.
The iodine can be applied by
using it in a wide mouth jar,
placing against the lamb, turn
ing it over and saturating the
area with iodine.

American Women Turn Attention To
Latest Innovation In
New York, Feb. 20 (U.R
The American woman has said
"Dhoooy" to Hollywood and fall
en lash, brow and eyelid for the
bright and bold new eye makeup,
a maker of optical cosmetics
said today.
Hollywood makeup artists
jumped up last month to ridi
cule the "unnaturalness" of blue
eyelashes, green pencil lines and
pretty colored eyeshadows. But
even the girls they make up are
turning up in New York with
the "fawn eyes," "doe eyes," or
"it eyes'" that burst on the U. S.
from Paris a month ago.
Brains Not Consulted
Andre Sussman. vice-president
of Aziza, said the Hollywood out
burst might have been expected.
"The once great brains of Hol
lywood had not been consulted,"
he said. "They were miffed."
Sussman said his own sales fig
ures showed American women
weren't paying any attention to
them anyway. A year ago he
sold lots of mascara but 85 per
cent of it was black. Last month,
the first month of the opalascent
orb, more than half the eyelash
goo he sold was blue and green.
And it's going on thicker than
ever, he said. One store that
sold $200 worth of his eye goo

Sussman said all tne fuss acioui
its making a woman look un
natural was silly.
If the Mascara is put on prop
erly, the line drawn right, the
shadow shaded properly out
ward from the middle of the eye
to the temples, a man doesn't
say, "Gad. iook at mat woman s
eyelashes!
The proper reaction, said Suss
man, is Uad, that girl has Beau
tiful eyes!"
The new make-up, Sussman
said, can do almost everything
from highlighting the color of
the eyes and even directing
what color they look to cov.
ering up the circles on Monday
morning.
But more important it'i po
lite. ,
Looks At Eves
"A polite person, when he
speaks to a woman, looks at her
eyes, he said. But today an
face powder is light. If a woman
has no accent on her eyes, he is
subconsciously drawn to her lips
instead they re the only brignt
spot in her face.
With properly prominent eyes
Sussman said, his eyes stay
where they belong.
When he gets close enough to
notice what makes them that
way, said the young and hand
some eye-man, the point is irre
levant, immaterial and inconse
quential.
"That's not what he's worry
ing about any more.
Bert Nichols, Ashland,
Succumbs In Portland
Ashland, Feb. 20 Bert Nich
ols, 70, a resident of Ashland
for 25 years, passed away in
Portland Sunday. Nichols was
born Sept. 17, 1879, in Illinois
and had been a farmer for most
of his life. For the past two
years he had been employed at
the Palace cafe and Lithia hotel.
His first wife, Mary, preceded
him in death in 1945 and in July,
1947, he was married to Sadie
Bacon in Seattle.
He was a member of Modern
Woodmen lodge of Central
Point.
Survivors, besides his wife,
include four children, Glen,
Yuba City, Cal.; Edna, Duns
muir, Cal.; Mrs. Leilia Conwell,

The cattle egret, unlike the
rest of the heron family, does
not live on water creatures. It
catches insects disturbed by the
feet of grazing livestock.
MORE JOBS FROM PINE
Shipping the Deschutes area's fine Ponderosa pine lumber
for re-maoufacrure elsewhere annoyed three old-timers in the
sawmill business M, L. Rogers, Walter R. Hansen and
Grant L. Jensen (left to right). So three years ago they
started the Cascade Forest Products mill in Bend. Now it
manufactures annually many trainloads of millwork window
casings, door jambs, especially cut stock, etc. This increases the
lumber's value and creates more Oregon jobs. "VC'e make use of
every piece of board," said Rogers. "Our mill couldn't have
succeeded, though, if it hadn't been for help from the
Bend Branch of the First National Bank."
THEIR FAITH IN LA GRANDE REPAID
La Grande's 100-room Sacajawea hotel is a monument to the faith
Julius Roesch and his wife, Annie, have in their community.
Roesch, a pioneer La Grande brewer, could have retired
comfortably in 1920. Instead, the Rocsches decided their growing
city needed a large hotel, and by 1928 had built and opened it,
with a son, Marcus L. Roesch, as manager. The enterprise almost
went under in depression days, but the Roeschcs held fast.
Today "The Sac" is an important part of the community still
operated by the Rocsches, who are long-time customers of
First National's La Grande Branch.

MAKE WAY FOR MORE FREIGHT
By scienrificuse of light metals, the Freightliner
Corporation, Portland, reduces the weight of
the long-haul freight trucks and trailers it
manufactures. Thus the equipment, while
meeting legal weight and size regulations, can
carry larger "payloads" of freight. Especially
designed parts, using both aluminum and
magnesium alloys, result in Freightliner s
major' weight savings, and even increasing
strength and efficiency. General manager of
this ten-year-old firm already a major manu
facturer in the field is Thomas D. Taylor
(right). He is shown with Ken Self, shop
superintendent, beside a cab-over-engine truck
