JL w lit ' Stf$2 PLANT TREE - Jack Mace, service forester, with the state department of forestry, in structs as to tree planting on the C. C. Hoover property in the Camp White area. Steve Himmelman, Eagle Point, of the Reese Creek Renegades 4-H club, looks on with his club leader, Clifford Moore, also of Eagle Point. This tree was one of several planted on the property by 4-H club mem bers Saturday, March 14. The trees were planted around the chain of Hoover lakes which are opened each year for fishing by the youngsters. Idea of 40-Ac re Park Spreads To Include Most of CW Section Br JOE COWLEY Mail Tribune Slaff Writer The idea for a 40-acre Cen tennial park has spread be yond its 40-acre limit to in clude most of the Camp White area, and much of Jackson county rural land. "Operation Centennial Tree Planting" as sponsored by the Eagle point Grange is respon sible for having delivered 15,000 trees to Jackson county rural areas. Jackson county Granges plan to use .2,000 trees. Other organizations have seized the rural tree-planting idea until it has spread like wildfire. The area from Greg ory rd. to beyond Eagle Point boasts an average of 50 trees to every farm or rural resi dence. As many as 500 trees have been distributd eby C. C. Hoover, tree planting commit tee chairman for Eagle Point Grange, in one day. "One day we had orders for Known brands are known values! J 4 w.

CONFIDENCE BRAND NAMES MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE 500 trees and the next day for 700 trees," a Grange spokes man said. "This idea is spread ing so fast we can't keep up with it." Bulk of Trees The bulk of the trees are or dered for a minimum price through the state forestry de partment nurseries. Others are donated by private individu als. The trees are distributed with the stipulation that they may be used for reforestation, wind protection, post produc tion, game cover, Christmas tree plantings, erosion con trol, or the conservation re serve program. The original idea, which is still being carried out, was to plant a Centennial park of 40 acres, including lakes, and at least six different species of trees in the Camp White area. The park, to be called "Cen tennial Park" as suggested by Medford Mayor John Snider, is part of a mass tree-planting project by C. C. Hoover and his sons, Claude and Bud. This particular project will include 10,000 trees on 2,000 acres or 100 trees for each year of Oregon's statehood, C. C. Hoover said. Varieties Planned Varieties planned now for the park are black locust, cedar, ponderosa pine, Scotch pine, Carolina silver poplar, and golden willow. The areas around the Hoover1 lakes are to be carefully landscaped and trees planted so they will pro vide an eye-appealing blend of color throughout the year. Both evergreen and deciduous trees are included in this scheme. However, now the rural res idents in the Camp White area are busy planting trees to change what one resident has described as a "bleak, barren area" into eye-pleasing tree lined landscape. One resident of that general area is planning to plant ap proximately 500 trees along the roads from the Medford airport. This tree-planting pro gram is still gaining momen tum with 700 trees picked up Wednesday, 300 on Thursday and 200 on Friday morning, according to the tree-planting committee chairman. Hoover estimates that 4-H clubs have used 1,250 trees. Sponsor Tree Day Saturday, March 14 Eagle Point Grange sponsored a "Tree Day" for the county's 4-H clubs. Then, supervised by Jack Mace, service forester with the state department of forestry, youngsters planted a number of golden willows around lakes on the Hoover property. Hoover announced this week that the four lakes would be open this weekend to youngsters up to and in cluding 14 years old for fish ing. Purpose of the Saturday ac tivities was to have the 4-H clubbers see the kinds of trees best suited for this area, how they can be fitted into proper landscaping and the proper method of planting. As a footnote, the extension office has advised that a chemical spray called Zip will prevent cattle from eat ing the young trees. The fruit growers now use this chemi cal to protect orchard trees from molestation by deer and porcupine. 44 Influenza Cases Reported Last Week Fourty-four cases of influ-. enza, including 36 in Medford, 5 in Ashland and 3 in Phoe nix, were reported to the Jackson County Health de partment for the week end ing March 20.

Watkins The Ants, The Cookie, The Poison, and Uncanny Action Someone had dropped a su gar cookie on the sidewalk and a horde of ants was mak ing the most of it. A man, watching the pro cess, began to realize that here in front of him was a working organization that was phenomenal in its effi ciency, and its operation. He became convinced that his hurrying horde was anything but aimless. He began to sus pect, as more ants kept com ing, that members of several colonies must have "heard the news," as hundreds of the little creatures swarmed over and around the cookie. He began to wonder if there really was a plan, for several of the workers he could distinguish, and they had appeared several times; each was gone about four minutes, then back again for another crumb. These, the watcher thought, were the so-called "sweet-eating" ants, and he remember ed a bottle of ant-poison he had laid away once and for gotten; it was for "sweet-eating ants." He decided to see what would happen. He brought the bottle, poured a few drops of the poison in a discarded bottle cap, placed the bottle cap right in the line of march of the ants. Within minutes an ant found the poison, drank greedily, then hurried away. Soon half a dozen ants came to the cap; soon several ap peared, forming a line from the cap back to the home nest. The man figured the line would diminish as the poison began its deadly work. Then he noticed a change. Each ant was carrying a bit of leaf, a tiny stick, or a grain of sand. They were dumping the de bris in the cup of poison Very soon the poison was completely covered, deeply buried in the debris. Again the line formed to remove the rest of the cookie. On their way many ants crawled up and over the "poisoned cup" but not a single one stopped. 'Who Gave Order?' The man who watched all this is a thinking, intelligent person; he cannot help won dering just "who gave the order" that danger was pres- FAA Reports Need For Technicians A need for electronic tech nicians with the Federal Avia tion agency has been announc ed by E.
