June 20 A $1 million aerial attack, the largest of its kind in North American history, was to begin at dawn to day when three airplanes took off to spray a DDT solution over more than 4o0,000 acres of east ern Oregon forests infested with the one-inch-long spruce bud-worm. Oregon state board at forestry crews and private agencies were assembled in the Heppncr and L,a oranae areas. This week was regarded as the first critical period of the year for spraying the budworms be cause they have reached the proper size. Budworm develop ment nad been slowed by the un seasonable weather. The expensive, 10-14-day pro ect will cost the state $197,000 and the federal government S8B0,000.

Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey Filberts. 260 acres of em. on the orchard Ben Doris showed us while in Eugene last week. Ben is an old friend, is well known throughout the state and in the Rogue Valley, and he is rather a pioneer of the filbert business. It was his uncle who started the orchard and when Ben came home with half of his face shot away (he served with the 91st division during the summer of 1918) he settled down to develop ing of hazel nuts into filberts. He has been at it ever since. Ben Doris has been tireless in his work for the American Le gion and other service organiza tions. Sixty his last birthday, he is not a b 1 e to be as active as when younger still he doesn't miss much. His mother, now in her mid-eighties, is as spry as can be. Folks say Ben Doris could have been governor of Oregon if he had had any political ambi tions. He preferred to grow fil berts. "" What does ttiWb HOME NEED? There's face lifting magic in an FHA loan!
