Farm Forestry
Advice Given
Well-managed sheep grazing: and
farm forestry may be a profitable
combination on culover or margin
al forest lands, preliminary trials
by Oregon State College show.
Douglas fir seedlings planted In
cleared or thinned oak stands suf
fered "little or no damage from
sheep browsing except when na
tive grasses were over-grazed, ac
cording to D. W. Hedrick and Fred
Hall, range management research
ers. Long-range plans are to see if
sheep can be grazed profitably on
such sties for supplemental income
while farm forests are getting
started. Indications are that such
lands will produce up to 40 pounds
of meat per acre.
Hedrick says fir-planted lands
should provide grazing for 10 to
Id years with declining value as
trees become too. large to permit
good grass growth.
The tests are being conducted
near Corvallis on lands covered
with white oak and some Douglas
fir that is typical of- about ouei
million acres of Willamette Vatley
foothills. Trials are in cooperation
with the OSC school of forestry.
While the seedlings suffered little
or no damage from sheep brows
ing. Hedrick emphasized the im
portance of holding animals otf
until grass growth was well ad
vanced and then removing them
while there isstlll forage left.
Where browsing damage did oc
cur tn the trials it was caused
by deer and mostly in early spring
before grass had made good
growth. Later in the season, deer
caused no more seedling damage
on sheep-grazed lands than on un
graded plots.
Test plots that were cleared of
oak and planted with firs were
equal in grazing value to land
that was clear of all trees and
seeded with a grass mixture. Each
produced 40 pounds of meat per
acre during one grazing season.
Hedrick points out. however, that
grazing value undoubtedly would
decrease within a few years un
less brush was held out with chem
ical sprays.
Plots where undesirable oak was
thinned out and Douglas fir seed
lings were underplanted produced
about 20 pounds of meat per acre.

Cleaning Machines Present
Storage Problem In Homes
Storage for large cleaning Items
such as vacuum sweeper, waxer
and polisher Is often a problem in
small or very compact homes.
Usua lly, the broom closet will
hold nothing but the slimmest
brooms and mops, and bulky units
must be stored in some out of the
way place or In the basement
where they have to be lugged up
stairs every time you need them.
One clever architect has solved
this major storage problem by de
signing a large closet for all clean
ing gear right outside the kitchen
door.
It Is about as easy to add this
closet as to build a small en
closed porch. And while you are at
it, it may be extended so that one
half of the space becomes a snug,
dry spat for garden equipment
and patio urniture.
The closet becomes part of the
house by siding it in the same
pattern as the rest of the home's
exterior. Western red cedar boards
and batten or drop siding Is espe
cially good looking for the exterior
and may be finished in a rich red
brown stain, or painted. Rough
sawn cedar adds a textural depth
that blends beautifully with land
scaping. This wood Is so workable and
adaptable that your small addi
tion will not look like an after
thought, but will easily become.
an integrated part of the home's
design.
The broom closet should be right
next to the kitchen door, with a
roof overhang to protect you from
the weather. Double doors, also
of cedar may open right out and
close snugly with magnetic locks,
You will probably want to use
hangers or nails on the back wall
to hang wax applicators, dust mops
and scrub mops.
For an added extra, Install a
floor of cement or Douglas fir
2x4" decking the- same size as
tne over naug above. On warm
days Mrs. Housewife can lounge
for a few minutes right outside
the kitchen door on her own prt
vate patio, meanwhile keeping an
eye on tne roast
Shelves, racks or drawers Inside
the broom closet will hold cleaning
cloths, brushes and buckets. If the
closet is warm enough, glass
cleaner, soaps, detergents and all
kinds of cleaning liquids may also
be kept here.
The garden storage closet may
be installed right alongside the
other unit, or back to back. In
dividual needs will determine size
and depth of this closet. If you
have power mower and lawn
sweeper, for example, you will
need much more space then for
an ordinary hand mower and some
rakes and spades, The more avid
gardener might want to add a
small potting table along one wall.

Beaufyguard
Plywood Used
The new char-nroof and slain-
proof hardwood plywood, termed
"beautyguard" by the trade, is ex
pected to be widely used for heavy
duty purposes such as bar tops,
counters, and tops for dressers,
tables and desks. It will also be
available to the home craftsman
for these same uses through retail
lumber yards and plywood shops.
The material Is unaffected by al
coholic beverages and by household
liquids of acid or caustic nature.
A burning cigarette held directly
against the hardwood plywood will
not char the beautiful surface. The
material is made by laminatinor a
nun layer oi aluminum ion oeneaih

and by finishing. It with approved
materials. The aluminum rapidly
conducts heat, preventing charring
of the wood surface.
The new development offers the
beauty of genuine hardwood at less
cost than the Imitation wood sur

qualities. Furniture items
