veteran farmer hopes his 16-
year-old son will become
something else besides a far
mer. He hopes above all that
he will go to college and get
a good education. However,
young Nolan is too interested
in dairy farming to be sway
ed, according to . Greenwood
says.
Chores Before School
The Eagle Point High
school student gets up at 4:45
a.m., then gets his father up
to do the early morning
chores before going to school.
When the- Greenwoods
bought the 200-acre dairy
farm last August it was pret
ty badly run down. Then, the
farm had some 20 milk cows.
Many of these were culled
out. Now Greenwood has a
good quality herd. The 70
head are mostly straight Jer
sey with a few Holsteins to
get more quota.
Greenwood is gradually
building up his herd and
hopes to have 100 head of
lop quality cows eventually".
Greenwood has his milk par
lor underneath his big barn.
Considers New System
He is considering the new
herringbone system of stalls
which is designed to milk
about 55 cows an hour. As the
name implies the cows enter
the stalls herringbone style.
It means faster milking be
cause six cows will enter and
leave almost as fast as two
cows in the other type of
stalls. The cows are packed
close, together at 30 degree
angles, side by side. Since
less room is required, cost
per stall is less.
Like many other dairy
farmers, Greenwood believes
the Rogue valley will always
have its dairy farms and ex
pects even more when the
Talent project is completed
Care of Septic In
Hands of Veteran
Care of a properly install
ed septic tank system on res
idential property bought
through a GI loan or a Vet
erans Administration loan is
the. responsibility of the veteran-purchaser,
S. T. Bran
nock, officer in charge of the
VA office, Medford, said yes
terday. It is the responsibility of
the builders to make prelim
inary soil tests, water table
tests and other exploratory
efforts to make sure that the
area is suitable for such a
system and, in the event it
is installed, to see that it is
correct and functioning. How
ever, ' with the purchase of
the house, the veteran-buyer
assumes the responsibility to
use the system according to
instructions, Brannock stated.
Additional information can
be obtained from the builder,
county sanitarians or the
nearest Veterans Administra
tion office.
RAILROAD OPENS
PORTLAND (UPI The
Portland zoo railroad opened
to the public Saturday in the
new Portland Zoological Gar
dens. It was obvious from the
start that the railroad would
not suffer from the lack of
patronage that has bothered
other rail lines 'in the nation.

putting more land under irri
gation. The Greenwoods came or
iginally from Kansas where
they stayed until after the
drought in the 1930's. They
farmed for a while in Idaho,
then moved to Madras and
finally to southern Oregon.
One of his sons was already
out here. Greenwood liked
the idea of all his family farm
ing together and appreciated
the comparatively mild cli
mate.
Lived in Eagle Point
Until last August, when the
Greenwoods bought their pre
sent dairy farm, they lived in
Eagle Point and ran a large
stock ranch. They still have
that ranch of 720 acres.
There they run 500 head; of
white faced Herefords and
also use some 2,000 acres of
rangeland belonging to O and
C. The oldest son, Lyle, helps
run this ranch. The second
oldest son, Loren, who was
first to come to southern Ore
gon has a farm near Browns
boro. In addition, - Greenwood
leases 280 acres in Sam's val
ley where he raises barley
and oats and some beef. His
daughter and son-in-law live
there. t
Having his own supply of
feed has helped Greenwood
in both his dairying and beef
raising operations, however
he believes it .would be a bet
ter idea to just sell the grain
and buy his own cow feed.
Greenwood is just ope of
the many dairy farmers in
the valley who are making a
sizeable "contribution to the
farm economy and the con
sumer's diet.

Mail Tribune Staff Writer
A barn has been the scene
of many experiments.
It's no different in the
Phoenix area where two 18-year-old
youths are complet
ing their second helicopter.
Charles Swingle Jr., and
Henry Scott, recently grad
uated from Phoenix High
school, have been experiment
ing with helicopter gliders.
Now they hope to apply pow
er to the light aluminum
frame resting in the Scott
barn. Six months of spare-
time work already hasbeen
put in on the project.
The youths had planned to
use a 72 horse-power drone
engine. However, the engine,
taken from a small plane used
for artillery practice, would
require too many modifica
tions starter and fan belt, to
mention a few so the future
aeronautical engineers hope
to sell the drone engine and
get an outboard engine.
Carry One Man
Such an aircraft would
carry one man at top speed
of 60 miles per hour, the
youths estimate. . However,
for safety's sake they don't
plan to travel that fast.
Meanwhile, the pair is fi
nancing their venture by sell
ing neiicopter propeiiors
which they make themselves.
A number of people in this
area are interested in mak
ing helicopter - gliders, they
report. Most of them are
made . from manufacturers'
kits, and are a little unlike
the homemade one the teen
agers have constructed.
They got the idea when
they looked through a maga
zine which pictured a heli
copter glider flying over wa
ter. The two started to figure
their -design out proportion
ately, then spent many long
hours in the high school shop
and at home.
Make Own Shaft
They ground out their own
aluminum shaft to which the
blades are attached. They
found cut-down truck springs
supporting the base make the
best shock absorbers,
... Equipped with wheels and
minus an engine, the 'copter
weighs an estimated 70
pounds, the youths say. The
first 'copter required three
years of spare-time work.
Learning to fly the un
wieldy bird required even
more time. Flight experi
ments were made at the Med
ford airport and in the Camp
White area. "The 'copter was
lashed to trailer towed be
hind Swingle's car. Then the
boys took turns experiment
ing with the handle bar at
tached over to the blades.
They found they could ma
neuver their whirlybird by
pulling the bar first one way
then another to control the
pitch.
Became Accustomed
Gradually, as they became
more accustomed to the feel
of the aircraft, the restricting
ropes were loosened. Finally,
the budding airmen graduat
ed to use of tow-rope.
"Our folks kinda took a
dim view of the first one we
built. Were afraid we would .
break our necks, I guess,"
young Swingle said.
Named An Alternate
Young Scott said he has
been too busy to qualify for
the honor society but seems '
3 have done all right just the ;
same. He was named as an
alternate for a Southern Ore
gon college scholarship, ac
cording to an announcement
made when his class graduat
ed from Phoenix High school
Tuesday.
Swingle received the school
award as the outstanding se
nior in general achievement '
during his four years. He also
was named as an alternate
for an Oregon State college
scholarship. .
The two future aeronauti
cal engineers plan to attend
the Ashland . school for two
years then either go to Ore
gon State college or to one .
of the ' leading engineering
colleges in California.
Meanwhile, the two young
aviatorj are looking to the
near luture wnen they can
mount an engine in their heli
copter and feel it climb 900
feet a minute.
