PACE SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1948 Forest Nursery Grows Trees For Oregon Farms; Valley Hay Outlook Poor By Ml L W. 1IARVKV JR. SALEM, April 1 WV-Oregon State college's extension forester, Charles Rom, Is trying to net every Oregon farmer to have a little forest of hl own. The Oregon forest nursery, run by the state forestry department, grows 600,000 trees a year Just for farm ers. The farmers can buy them at low cost. Tree orders from farmers now are heavier than ever. Shelter Belt Ross says every Oregon farm could use a few trees, either In a wood lot, in a shelter belt, or to improve the scenery. Most of the trees so far have gone to the irrigated sections of Central and Eastern Oregon. But ranchers In the dry land areas are hard to convince when It comes to putting In trees. Ross said trees in Eastern Oregon serve as windbreaks, shelter belts, or for shade. Extensive tree plantings have been made on farms in the Columbia river and coast counties. There they are used to protect homes, crops and livestock from strong winds. I Ross said tree planting for fence posts, Cascara and Christmas trees will be a big money-maker for farm ers In the near future. Hay Shortage Livestock owners, especially those In the Willamette valley, have cause to work up a mild case of hay fever "Y" Groups Plan Trip Klamath Falls will be well repre sented at the YMCA youth and gov ernment legislative assembly at Salem this week-end. when mem bers of Tri-Hi-Y, the girls" group, and Hi-Y. boys' group, meet with other Y delegates at the state capi tol. The group leaves here Thursday, returning Sunday. Accompanying the KUHS students are Mrs. Nilelet ta Patterson, advisor to the Junior chapter of Tri-Hi-Y, and Cecil L. Kollenborn. general secretary of Klamath county YMCA. The young people will serve as senators and representatives at the official assembly in the state legis lative chambers. Kollenborn said to day that the significance of these assemblies is that frequently im portant proposals and projects sponsored by the youth groups, have found a place through acts of the state legislature and have been translated into law. The program began In New York state in 1936 and is now being car ried on in 23 states. Twelve more states are making preliminary plans to cooperate In the program next year. Attending from here will be Cam eron Stewart, Doris Ethredge. Tom Orr, Beth Bunch. Claudette Glea son. Zada Taylor. Merlene Burning ham and Margueritte WedeL E. R. Jaekman, crops specialist of the OSC extension service, says Western Orrton vetch hay which normally produces the bulk of West ern Oregon's hav will be extremely short this year. Wei weather ha cut the vetch acreage to the lowest point In many years. Alfalfa and clover acreage is way down, too, Jackman urges stockmen lo buy their hay early. Acreage Gain Oregon's acreage tins year of spring planted field crops will be five per cent more than last year. Barley acreage is up 31 per cent, spring wheat and corn up 18 per cent, and oats up one per cent. Farmers will grow more flaxseed, but less dry peas, beans Biid sugar OCT IS, Pacific coast farm wage rates are four times what they were 10 years ago. They are higher than the na tional average. Yard Tip Don't strain your bark trvint to get moss out of your lawn. Moss is caused by a shortage of nitrogen. So put some good nitrate fertilizer on your lawn and watch the moss go away. Federal wheat crop Insurance is in effect in Gilliam. Morrow. Sher man. Umatilla and Union counties. The insecticide, benzene hcxa chloride. is great stuff for killing wire worms and other Insects. But Robert Every, an OSC bug and in sect specialist, urges farmers not to use it. The reason: It gives a bad flavor to potatoes, carrots, and possiblv some other crops. And not only that, the bad flavor mieht last for v.a,- or more after the farmer quits using it. And it also gives a bad flavor to poultry meat, making it impossible to eat.

BETTER WALLPAPER FOR LESS, AT WARDS Sometimes You Just Can't Win BALTIMORE, April 1 (JPt A Baltimore man tucked three dollars In his shoe as a precaution against robbers, but it was the central police court that profited by his prudence. The robbers who took his pants wallet and all missed the three dollars in the shoe. But Magistrate James R. Cadden relieved him of $2.45 of it in the form of a disorderly conduct fine, after he was found on a city street corner minus the stolen pants. Anyway, his foresight saved him 55 cents. Livestock Prices Remain Unchanged Livestock and meat prices were mostly unchanged or higher at cost markets this week but weakness was showing as receipts increased, par ticularly at Chicago, according to the weekly meat animals and wool review prepared by the OSC ex tension service from USDA reports and other data. Meat production be tween the 15th and the 20th was only slightly more than half as large as the previous week, due to strike conditions in many plants; but con siderably larger receipts this week over-taxed the slaughtering ca pacity of plants still operating in ! Chicago. All classes of cattle lost consider able price ground at Chicago. Steers on the 25th were $1.00 to $1.50 lower compared to last week's close; heif ers were $1.50 to $2.50 lower, and cows were down $2.00 to $2.50. Vealcrs were off $1.00.
