B. Fer rln, city school superintendent. This is 54 fewer than enrollment last year. The high school gained 15 stu dents this year but the elementary schools show a decrease of 69 pupils, Fen In said. A new key for measuring for age performance has been found, by range researchers at Oregon State College. Val Valassls and D. W. Hedrlck, after studying 10-year-old plant ings on an OSC hill pasture nurs ery, say a forage plant' ability to send Its roots deep into shale where a permanent water supply usually exists, may mean the dif ference between superior and In ferior performance. The researchers checked aver age root depth of plants down to four feet -and found most roots In the upper 15 inches of soil. But better varieties also had some thing else in common roots had penetrated Into rock shale that is underneath the soil. Besides checking root systems of Improved forage varieties, the rooting habits of other plants that grow in Willamette Valley foot hills were examined. Bracken fern was found to have the greatest volume of roots In the deeper soil layers. And most roots of woody plants, such aa oak and poison oak, were within and growing beyond the shale layer. What does this mean? Valassla and Hedrlck concluded that deep rooted, woody plant do not com pete seriously with forages for water. It Isn't necessary to com pletely clear oak woodlands for hill pasture. Just open them up enough so a forage understory can get enough light. With forage roots of better vari eties able to penetrate to perrma nent water aupply, th research ers figure this was the reason extremely dry summers h a v t failed to set them back seriously. Some varieties that have stood up well under these dry conditions are Tualatin oatgrass, best grass, Alta fescue, burnet ana orchard grass. Valassls and Hedrtct also notea water competition between peren nial and annual grasses as well as competition for nutrients and light. Where perennials were lush annuals became dwarfed with small seed heads. With lush an nuals, perennials suffered.
