A stretch of lawn on the lakeshore, below, is topped by the first level of bloom ing perennials. Others sur- nd the home, occupied for rete ere ec- ond story to a complete gar den. The level roof of the garage is covered with a miniature lush lawn. The seventh and last level has been converted into a com plete outdoor living room, upper" pictiire. Here, Mrs. Redman has built a pool using rocks and cement, in front of where she stands, against the . 25-foot high iff. Depressions in tne rock have been filled with earth and purple clematis, snapdragons, California poppies, petunias and se dums bloom against the rugged surface. A barbecue pit, lawn furniture and tree windbreak provide a hos pitable spot. Farm Data Listed Poultry eggs The U.S. De I partment of Agriculture reports that egg prices weakened in Apn' and early May, but remained well above last year. A seasonal rise in coming months is predicted. The U.S. average price received by farmers during mid-May was about 37.4 cents. At the same time Portland egg prices lost more ground during the final two weeks of May but the poultry values held firm. On May 29 on the Portland narket, prices paid producers for Iradc A and Double A large eggs delivered and graded ranged from 35 to 40'4 cents per dozen. Medi ums sold for 31 to 33 '4 cents and smalls brought 23 to 20' i cents. Fryers The local fryer market developed a stronger tone during he final week of May. Prices to growers in the Willamette Valley were 22 cents a pound on May 29 for No. 1 quality birds at the ranch. Buying prices on live light type hens narrowed to a range of 15 to. 16 cents, and heavy hens were quoted at 21 cents. An esti mated 163,000 heavy breed poults were hatched in Oregon during the week ending May 24. This was down five per cent from the pre vious week but three per cent more than a year ago. Gram markets Gram markets averaged firm during the week ending May 28. At the same time country selling remained slow de spite small advances in the Pacific Northwest with reports indicating scarce stocks of free wheat. Lambs up On the Portland market a salable lamb supply of some 2,200 head was about 100 head short of a year earlier and 900 head less than the week end ing May 22. Most choice kinds sold for $20.50 to $21, or between 50 cents and $1 above last week's close. Good spring slaughter lambs cashed for $19 to $20.50. Butchers steady In the hog division at Portland, offer ings were much smaller than for the week ending May 22 but 15 per cent above a year earlier. The U.S. No. 1 and 2 butchers closed steady to 25 cents under a week ago. Most transactions ranged from $24.25 to $24.50. Slaughter cows off At the Klamath Falls auctions, slaughter cows were quoted 50 cents to $1 under last week's levels, but other lasses held steady. Utility and ommercial cows sold for $17 to 520.80. Good and choice fed steers made $25.60 to $28.10. Such heif ers moved at $25.10 to $27.90. Med ium and good steer calves ranged from $27 to $29. The Same grade heifers calves went at $25.50 to $27.80. Wholesale meats The North west wholesale meat trade picked up in volume since the Seattle strike was settled.

Interesting note Back in 1941, the federal government collected a little more than seven billion, 200 million dollars in total revenues for ' that year. The agriculture depart ment reveals today that the gov ernment's total investment in price supported farm commodities is seven billion, 200 million dollars, an amount equal to Uncle Sam's total income just prior to World War II. . The Soil Bank The agriculture department has Issued a report on soil bank operations revealing that more than 21 million acres of crop land have been taken out of pro duction under the 1958 program. fDf this total, the acreage reserve program accounts for about 17 mil lion acres with another four mil lion acres going into the soil con servation reserve. Added to acre ages already in the conservation reserve from the last two years, this means there are now about 27 and a half million acres of crop land out of production. Grasshoppers One of the worst grasshopper outbreaks in recent years is building up in 36 Califor nia counties. Agriculturalists anti cipate that the Northern Califor nia counties of Butte, Humboldt, Shasta, Siskiyou and Tehama will be among the counties plagued by the hoppers. Controversial Special Doe Hunt Defended By California Officials By DE VAN L. SIIUMWAY United Press Sports Writer - SACRAMENTO (UP) Two officials of the California Fish and Game Department have come out with a back-handed defense of the commission's action in the 195C controversial doe hunt. Writing in a department publi cation, former game management supervisor W. P. Dasmann and current supervisor Fred Jones have this to say: "The full effect of the doe har vest of 1956 cannot be completely evaluated until late 1958 and 1959 because the fawns that such ani mals might have produced in 1957 would not have become legal bucks until they were 1 or 2 years of age." "It is also true that an extreme ly heavy kill of male fawns 1956 would have reduced the bag of legal bucks in 1957. "Nevertheless, the buck kill of 1957 clearly dispels some of the pessimistic claims. "For one thing, the high returns do show that the deer herds were at decimated. Also, bag checks in Sierra and east side counties have revealed a high percentage of yearling and 2-year-old animals in the 1957 kill, an indication that the 1956 fawn crop was abundant and survived well, and that spike yearlings were not wiped out dur ing the 1956 eitner-sex nunis. To orove their point, the two re cite a long, nearly exhausttve list of statistics on kills during 1957 compared with other years as far back as 1948. For instance, the reported buck kill during 1957 (when 420.300 tags were sold) was 65,214. Back in 1948. 47.789 bucks were killed and 300,405 licenses were issued. There were 70.371 bucks reported killed during 1956 when 448,666 licenses were purcnased in Laiiiornia. . "It will be seen that the 1957 kill, while lower than those of the three orecedine years, was consid erably be'.ter than those prior to 1954," the article says. The writers compared the kills in some of the leading counties. The kill in Siskiyou County was highest during 1957 when hunters bagged 4,396 deer, compared with 5.651 during 1956. In the next high est county, Modoc, the 1957 kill was 4,034 and the 1956 kill 4,817. Those counties fall, of course, in the late deer season. After the close of the- three-day either-sex deer seasons in 1956, some critics said that deer herds in come sierra and northern coun ties were "drastically" reduced and that it would take years to build them back. The article says that the critics also claimed there had not only been a heavy slaughter of does but also the toll of fawns, spike bucks and older bucks was so se rious that this would lead to poor kills in the future. The Fish and Game Department leaders go on to say in their article that of the 30 counties included in the early deer season hunting area during 1957. 17 were open to either sex hunting in 1956 and 13 were not. Some counties, for Instance, had j portions in both the late and early Trees Dried Out Before Felling NEW YORK Wl North Woods researchers are testing a method of drying out trees before they are felled in a bid to cut handling costs. The .Newsprint Information Com mittee said that since demoistur ized trees are lighter and there fore cheaper to ship by rail, stand ing trees are killed chemically, then left to lose up to 25 per cent of their weight by evaporation be fore being felled. The committee said a solution of sodium arsenite is painted on the base of the tree where a two-inch strip of bark has been removed. The spring flow of sap carries the poison up through the tree and kills it in a few weeks. Three to 12 months later the dead tree is thoroughly dried out and is fulled and shipped to the mill. "LEATHERNECKS" "Leathernecks," nickname for men of the U.S. Marine Corps, came from a black leather stock part of the early uniform worn to keep a fighter from getting his throat slit by the whistling sweep oi a snickersnee.
