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
