6 C THURSDAY. JULY 11, 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Open Market for Logs Said Good Next Six Months Corvallis The open mar Independently Owned & Operated THOMPSON SEEDLESS fx. ket for logs In western Oregon is beset by a number of uncer tainties, but appears generally favorable for the next six months with demand expect ed to remain fairly high. This is the outlook as seen by C. F. Sutherland, Oregon State university extension forest economics specialist, in the new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook. Copies of the outlook circular are now available from county exten sion offices. Housing economists pre dict that construction during the remainder of 1083 will match the pace set in 1962 when builders erected almost a million single family dwell ings, he said. Canadian competition con tinues to be a primary factor effecting Oregon lumber and log prices, he noted. In the first four months of 1963, Canadian softwood producers shipped 1.3 billion board feet of lumber into the United States to mark a gain of 1.6 per cent over the ycar-ago level. Nw Sales Tax A new Canadian manufac turers' sales tax of 11 per cent on all construction materials used In Canada may shift more of that country's lumber Into the export trade, Suther land warned. The October blowdown con tinues to hang over the in dustry as owners push to beat insects to the affected areas Paradoxically, Sutherland said, the labor dispute may ac tually improve the market for the small owners' timber. The strike has pushed prices for lumber and plywood higher and shifted production to the smaller mills which are al ways more active in the open market for logs. Hardwoods, will probably continue to move well in most western Oregon counties, Sutherland said. Furniture sales have been excellent and are expected to approach 1962, a record year in the In dustry. Hardwood lumber pro ducers have been pressed to find an adequate supply of high quality logs to meet the demand for alder and maple furniture stock, he noted. Prices Fairly High Prices for Douglas fir seed should be fairly high this year since supplies will be scarce, he continued. Commercial seed buyers and OSU genet icists forecast a very poor crop of Douglas fir seed In north west Oregon this fall. Low production of female cones plus poor pollination be cause of a wet, cold spring re duced production and insects have attacked much that re mains, he reported. A strong market is expect ed next fall for high quality Christmas trees, particularly for cultured Douglas fir. A ready market should also be available for grand fir and Oregon shore pine. The major markets for Ore gon producers will continue to be in-Californla, although the Portland area will provide an Important outlet for many producers, Sutherland said. 'X-Pose' Detects Unbrushed Molars With Colored Dye By JOSEPH EPPINGER United Prois International San Franclsco-UlPI)- A little red tablet has brought drama to the dentist's chair. Some dentists are now using a harm less food coloring dye to show their patients the ineffective ness of their tooth-brushing exercise. The dye is contained in a red tablet (on the market as X-pose tablets). You pop the tablet Into your mouth, chew for 30 seconds, open your mouth and see your teeth and gums stained red wherever your toothbrush missed. Brother, if you see red, you had better do more than stop. What you may think is Inst night's nightmare is really transparent mucilaginous ma-terlal-or what dentists refer to as dental plaques. By selectively staining the bacterial plaques, the tablet shows you where your brush is falling. Bacteria thrives within the plaques. And where ther's bacteria, dentist bills aren't too far behind. Soluble sugars from food 'and drink (soft and hard) eas ily eat through dental plaques. Within seconds, acid forms on the plaque and the tooth gradually dissolves-first the enamel softens and then a hole or cavity forms. Use of the tell-tale dye has also changed many dentists' thinking about dental hygiene. Many now feel brushing after every meal Isn't enough. In ad dition, they urge use of dental floss, a thread-like material. A few feel the routine should even be prolonged by massaging of the gums with match-like sticks enclosed In Drive-In Market South Pacific Highway, Talant llourc I a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday Grandview Mkt. 2330 Cratar Laka Ava., Madford Houri: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Sunday Van Wey's Thrift 162 Pint Strtet, Cantral Point Hourt: 8:009:00 Watk Dayi 10:007:00 Sundays Market Dasket 842 Siikiyou Blvd., Athland Houri: 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Closed Sunday Limit Right Reserved PRICES EFFECTIVE THRU SUNDAY . . .
