Slash Disposal Problems Discussed; Forest Incendiarism Here Said High it i t Problem of slash disposal in logging operations were dis cussed Friday evening by Dwight Phipps, deputy state for ester, at a monthly meeting of the Southern Oregon Conserva tion and Tree Farm association, held at the Jackson hotel. The subject, which has caused considerable controversy in sev eral years, was chiefly concerned with methods of burning slash, the necessity for doing so, and alternative rrfethods of disposal now being considered May Take Responsibility Phipps said that some discussion Is now being held with the possi bility that responsibility for flash areas where fire danger potential is high may be as sumed by protection agencies af ter operators have paid a speci fied sum for this protection. They would thus be released from additional fire responsibil ity, he said. At the start of the 1949 fire leason, protection districts had a carry-over from former years of 756,000 acres of logging slash, Phipps said, representing an in crease of 407,000 acres in the last Six years. The state's slash buring pol icies are largely based on deci sions made in the field by re sponsible officials, he said, acting within the framework of general instructions laid down by the state board of forestry. Incediarism Jim Walker, fire prevention supervisor for seven counties spoke of the increasing number of incediary fires which have been reported in recent years. A total of 296 fires last season were listed as incendiary, he said, with more reDorted in Jack son county than any other in the state. The evidence indicates that the majority were maliciously set, Walker reported, since five or six sometimes would break out simultaneously. He cited the case of the Foots Creek fire, which he said was set when a resident al legedly was smoking out a bee tree. Litigation on the fire, wnicn cost an estimated $4,000, is still pending, he said. Reports Given Lewis L- Simpson, secretary manager of the association, re ported on various phases of activity affecting the lumber industry, including road clasings effects of the proposed Colum bia valley administration, a pen ding civilian conservation bin and the new short wave radio project of the association. Bill LinBaas, new president, was chairman at the meeting, at which 59 members and guests were present. The average automobile scrap ped today is 13 years old and has traveled nearly 90,000 miles.

The front re ception office is separated from Lane's private office by a glass partial wall and additional space has been provided for mimeo graph and addressograph ma chines, and for the chamber's large reference files.

Spray Buds Now Agent Advises Orchardists Orchardists should apply late pink bud spray now, according to C. B. Cordy, county extension agent for horticulture. For brown rot and peach blight con trol, the agent suggested the use of a half pound of phygon or one and a half pounds of ziram or ferbam per 100 gallons. One pound of 25 per cent para thlon should be added for con trol of both twig miner and aphis, he said. Peach growers who do not care to use parathion could use one and a half pounds of 50 per cent DDT for twig miner and one-third pint of 20 per cent or one-sixth of 40 per cent TEPP for aphis. Suggested control for use in home orchards is one hpnnine tablespoon of ferbam, one heap ing tablespoon of 50 per cent Dun una one taDiespoon of black leaf 40 in two gallons of water.
