Douglas-fir bark is in considerable demand at the present time, accord ing to Eugene Hanneman, Salem, farm forester with the state forestry department, with the prices varying from $15 to $18 per ton. delivered. Hanneman says the demand is occa sioned through a local shortage of tannic acid which is produced from the bark It is anticipated that from 100 tol50 tons of the bark will be required during the present year to meet market demands. The bark must be from second growth Douglas-fir and must not be more than one and one-fourth inch in thickness. Deliveries will be taken in either large or small quantities with $18 per ton being paid for bark in four-foot lengths and $15 per ton for random lengths, says the forester. "The bark is beginning to slip at the present time and peeling wall be I a simple problem until some time in 1 August", states Hanneman. "It is . usually a waste product and con- I sidered of no value in the production | of such items as poles, piling, saw- ■ logs and pulpwood. With very little ' additional effort all this bark can be sold. Five or six large piling will j produce a ton of the bark." Further infomation relative to peeling and the care of the bark and markets, can be secured by writing the state forester, Salem, or getting in touch with the local farm forester or county agent.

American Cancer S&cieif Tansy Threatens Livestock By JIM STEVENS Growth of the Soil. . . On two-thirds of the land area of the Pacific Northwest the natural grow th of the soil is trees. Only a few valleys are fit for farming. The soil is not only good for tree growing but the climate, the native timber species and the general topography combine to give us the nation's greatest natural forest region. Our prospect is good for large units of scientically managed forests in the future "sustained yield units" in forestry jargon—once the legal and economic questions of uniting the many kinds of ownership have been solved. These units may be National or State forests, or privately owned Tree Farms, or groups of small farm forests organized in co-operatives like the one that is already a going concern inSnohomish County. Wash ington. The soil is the thing. Forestry has little to do in the stands of virgin ' timber, apart from surveys and pro tection from fire and tree diseases. 1 The big job of forestry is in keeping the soil productive under the log harvest, getting new tree growth started and controlling fire. On pub lic lands or private lands, the forester and the logger must team up, if the basic forest resource—the soil—is to be kept productive. Forestry begins at the stump, even as lumbering begins there. Tree Farmers. . . It is in the growth of the soil that the term, “tree farming." has its real roots, its vital meaning. The logger compares to the wheat rancher in that both harvest the growth of the soil. Each harvest must leave the soil in productive condition, or event ually the wheat ranch will become desert land and the forest land will become barren. The scientist whose business it is to find ways and means to keep agri cultural soil productive and to im prove its crops is called an agrono^ mist. The forester's business is the same, except that its place is on forest land. On the wheat ranch the agronomist's work starts with the stubble after harvest. The forester’s work starts at the stump. Remember that the stumps of the forest are not only those of logging. In nature trees decay and die, /ind the stumps of nature are many in the virgin forest. In some areas of the Douglas fir region half of the timber is more stumps than trees. Forest fires leave only stumps of trees in their black wake—worse, in the eyes of the forester, they leave soil robbed of much or all of its fertility, its ability to grow trees. So even in the forest and the growing of trees to replace them.

HANSEN PHONE 503 TAKE YOUR PICK THEY'RE HANGIN" THICK IN LUSCIOUS PROFUSION College Loggers. . . Our forests need nothing so much as college loggers, educated tree farmers, young men with rugged bodies and trained minds. Forestry is anything but a money career, but to my mind this is really a strong point in its favor. What j counts is that no profession has more I promise of health, happiness, good human association, and of construc tive work for mankind in it than the profession of forestry contains. There is none in this region with a stronger challenge to the spirit of battle in a young man. And what more could one want? To give a new twist to an old saw, go to the woods, young man, and grow up with the forest. Yes, and 'go as a college logger.

As HOOVER has said from the beginning, the issue in this campaign is LIBERTY vs. SOCIALISM. HOOVER stands for individ ual freedom versus a government • controlled economy. HOOVER has pledged to work for a balanced budget and the retirement of the public debt. Halt government squandering of Federal Funds, thereby making it possible to reduce our crushing tax burden. HOOVER recognizes that government has nothing to give to the people ex cept that which it first takes away from the people. HOOVER will be guided by the interests of all the people of the State of Oregon and the United States and will not be subservient to pressure groups. HOOVER favors the protection and pre servation of free enterprise because only through free enterprise will the people remain free. HOOVER will not be a party to the confirmation of any Federal executive who does not have an unblemished personal or political record. And where does Hoover’s opponent stand on these things? A self-proclaimed "liberal,** Morse re ceived his early political training under the influ ence of the La Follettes of Wisconsin. In 1938. while still a professor at the University of Oregon Morse fought on the side of the ’"goons” against the so - called "picketing bill” which was passed by the people of Oregon as a protest against beat - ups, bombings and other excesses. Shortly afterward, he was appointed to the War Labor Board by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been assured that Morse was simpatico to the aims and ohjectivea of the New Deal. No one can deny that Morse has been a life long member of the "tax and tax and spend and spend” school of politics. Morse has said repeatedly that it is neither necessary nor even desirable to balance the national budget. Take another recent example of the Junior Senator’s position on a most significant issue: While Morse has said he is against the proposed (JVA act, as it is now written, what did he do on the matter of the proposed Columbia Basin accounting pool? Sen ator Cordon termed it "»ocialistic” and a start toward CVA. Cordon voted against the bill. Morse voted for it, along with Democrats Magnu son of Washington, and Taylor of Idaho. Abraham Lincoln said this nation cannot exist “half slave and half free.” Neither can the Republi can party. The Republicans of Oregon cannot carry water on both shoulders. If, at the top of the ticket next November, the Republicans of Oregon attempt to defend a "liberal” on one hand and a conservative on the other, the party will go down inevitably to defeat.
