Ton shoald also clearcut woodlots where repeated thinnings have finally left too tew trees. Ordinarily the species growing ee year land, generally Douglas fir, is the one best salted. Douglas fir reproduces best oa clearcut areas. Seedlings like the shade of weeds aad light brash to start, bat when once established need plenty of sunlight. If the clearcut area is small, from I to 20 acres, and it adjoins or la surrounded by seed bearing trees, it will reforest promptly by natural seeding. Fire must be kept out and stock fenced out If there Is a good seed crop right after logging the area will come back fast. . If yott have had a good seed year you may want to leare your slash and provide better fire protection. Otherwise you will want te burn your slash the first time it's safe to do it and pat your land la shape for the next tree crop.

Prof. Jean Nougayrol, a cura tor of the Louvre Museum, said there was a "strong similarity" with the Bible story in the frag mentary translation he recently completed on the clay brick im printed with cuneiform letters. He assigned a date of 1650 B.C. to the tablet because of its dedication to King Ammidi tana, a Babylonian m o n a r c h reigning in the 17th century be fore Christ. r' ' ,. No exact date could be placed on the writing of the" Book of Job, the professor said, although sections appear to have been transcribed from old folk tales about 600-700 B.C. ' That . would indicate the Job tale existed for Local Woman Hears; Relatives on Radio Mrs. Bill Coltts, 613 Fran- quette street, reported today that she heard this morning her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Howard, over the Ralph Edwards radio show broadcast from Truth or Consequences, N. M., over radio station KMED. The local woman had been out of touch with her aunt and uncle for 12 or 13 years when Mrs. Coltts and the Howards lived in Colorado. She tuned in the pro gram late and did hot learn where they live now, and plans to make contact with them by writing to Edwards. -- Search Continues For Missing Sailor Seattle (U.R) Search con tinued .

Trees can be obtained- from the State Forestry Departments of Ore gon and Washington and some com panies will supply nursery-raised seedlinss to farmers. Winter plant ing Is best and It comes when the farmer has the most free time. Hand planting of seedlings ' re quires some . thought and care. A simple mattock, one of the hoe-type of tools, is all a tree planter needs. With one stroke of the mattock a suitable hole Is opened to. admit the roots of the seedling. Care shoald be taken to avoid leaving air space around the roots, to see that roots are straight and not turned up, that the tree is not too deep and that ground cover won't choke it out. Plant seedlings to get advantage of natural shade of stumps, down logs. If you plant 4 by 4 feet spacing you will need 2720 trees per acre. Ideal is S by 8 foot spacing using 91 trees per acre, although, some prefer 8 by 8 with 680 trees.'. Trees cost about $5 per thousand. Next we will discuss logging, land clear ing, Interesting facts.

Tale Quite Similar "The text of this Babylonian tablet is concerned with a theme that runs through the Holy Book man overwhelmed by God, Nougayrol said in an interview. "The tablet is a poetical pray er of a righteous man afflicted by the Lord. It is quite similar to Job's trials and patience in the Bible." . The Louvre tablet, he explain ed, was only one part of a four- part text, so its story is frag mentary. In it a righteous man is very ill and a few friends discuss with him the fate of man, the lan guage expert said. That closely parallels the biblical story. In a notable difference, one of the friends takes pity on the nameless "Babylonian Job" and prays directly to God to cure him. Advice From Lord "Purify thyself and give unc tion," the Lord answered, accord ing to the tablet. "Disregard all bitterness, and give sweet bev erages to the thirsty one; and the one who was prostrated will tremble and arise ..." The tablet continued with the Lord saying' to the sick man: "Thine action is just like that of a man, but your heart is inno cent. The years have been ful filled, the days redeemed the sorrow. If you hast not been called to live, bow could thou have been able to endure this severe illness?" Nougayrol said the tablet was signed by "Kalbanu," . roughly translated as "Little Dog." He emphasised that it probably was not the author of. the story but just the man who wrote it down. A property mark in the foot- square clay shows the imprint of a small star.
