just a few faint symptoms.
But, neglected, these "little

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.

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.
Tansy ragwort, common rag
wort. staggerwort, or stinking Wil
lie—whatever you call it—now is
the time to spray tor best and
cheapest control. This weed, poi
sonous to cattle and horses, is
spreading rapidly throughout west
ern Oregon, states Rex Warren,

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.

Ballots can destroy America just as effectively as
bullets. 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.
