Pears and Smoke
There was an interesting story on the Mail
Tribune's farm page last Tuesday, describing
how Elk Lumber Company is planting orchards
in a "green belt" surrounding its big plant just
off the North Pacific Highway.
The project has several purposes. It will pre
vent residential subdivisions from encroaching
too closely on the industrial site to the benefit
of both the mill-owners and prospective home
owners. It will make these acres an economic
asset, rather than a liability.
It also will provide a use for some of the
plant's by-products, notably sawdust and bark
mulch, which right now constitute a major head
ache both for mill owners and for those who
resent the smoke created when the waste products
are burned.

An intensive air search was
under way in southern and
central Oregon today for a
rented light plane missing
since Saturday with four per
sons aboard.

It is also a small reversal of the trend which
has taken much of the best and most productive
agricultural land out of production to give way
to homes and businesses.
All in all, it is a notable experiment, and we
wish Elk every success in its undertaking.
AS A MATTER of fact, Elk is a forward look
ing and progressive firm in other ways, too.
Manager George Flanagan informs us that it
will be possible to virtually eliminate all excess
smoke from his plant in the near future, with the
installation of another steam boiler and gener
ator. His company was the first hereabouts to use
waste by-products as fuel to generate steam to
make electricity. And the excess nower is so d
to racinc rower & Light company.
tsmoke rrom a properly regulated furnace
is tar easier to control than that from an old
style, unproductive mill burner, Flanagan points
out, and in this way he can not only eliminate
me smoke nuisance, but also put to good use
waste which otherwise not only would go unused,
but which presents a considerable problem in
disposing of it.
FLANAGAN points out that the larger, be tie r
1 financed mills could do the same thing, but
some of the smaller concerns probably could not
afford the considerable capital investment re
quired for such a solution.
As a matter of fact, waste sawdust anrl Viurlr

"Such audacious, arrogant

at the very heart and fabric

But that day is not here yet, and particularly

Meanwhile, if anyone can figure out a cheap,

disposing of the sawdust and bark, which is 'now

All. 'Tis spring. The sap
is flowing in what orators
call "The Sturdy Tree of Our
Democracy." Mr. Robert
Welch, taproot of the Birch
Society, has blossomed forth
with a revised edition of his
great historical work, "The
Politician." All because of
democracy and fair play.
In the first edition, as you
may recall, Mr. Welch said
Mr. Eisenhower was "a dedi
cated, conscious agent of the
Communist conspiracy." But
in the revised edition he
strikes this passage out.
"peace" leave an embarras
singly long record of actively
supporting the same causes
and activities that Soviet
and American Communist pa
pers, organizations and
spokesmen promote.
Some of the more obvious
lies of the communist party
line are that we must agree to
peace on USSR terms, that
communism is in truth gentle
and harmless and grants free
dom to its subjects (more than
USA does), and ultimately
that It is "better to be Red
than Dead," so it is useless to
resist communism.
Some of the more obvious
activities are their bitter de
bates, petitioning and court
trial resistance to exposure of
communists and their activ
ities in America.
