Malin Man
Publicized
In Journal
MALLV - A Klamath County
farmer, W. W. "Woodie" Clark
of Malin who likes to do business
with the Production Credit Associ
ation and the Federal Land Bank
is the subject of an article in the
winter issue of the Farm Credit
Journal published at Spokane.
He has been doing business with
the cooperative credit organiza
tions for 18 years and gives them!
credit for helping him build his
net worth from four to a six digit
figure.
The Clarks came to Malin in
1940 and paid $100 down on an 80-
acre tarm. One potato crop
leared the balance of the $7,800
purchase. They bought their pres-
nt home place a mile east of
Malin in 1946 and with the help of
long-term bank loans have since
added 288 acres, giving them a
total of 336 acres, all under irriga
tion. Clark uses an eighl to nine-year-
rotation which includes two years
in potatoes, one in grain and five
or six, sometimes 10 years in al
falfa.
Potatoes are his largest paying
crop but he puts up 700-800 tons
of hay a year.
Tlie Clark operation is a family
deal. Their 20-year-old twin daugh
ters have left the Jarm for col
lege but two sons and a daugh
ter, still on the farm, help share
the responsibility.
Clark is an assistant 4-H Club

Wood Molding Process
Set By Weyerhaeuser
A new process for molding woodltcgral part of I h e product.
fractions into complex shapes and
applying an overlaid finish in a
single operation was reported to
day by Weyerhaeuser Company.
Ihc company opened a new
forest plastics molding plant at
Marshfield, Wis., Feb. 15 for the
production of consumer and in-
lustrial products and components.
The molded wood, known as For-
plex, has physical properties of
both wood and plastics.
The 58. .wn-snuare foot plant, ini
tially employing about GO persons.
represents an investment in ex
cess of $2 million.
Employing the only process of
its kind in the united States, the
plant is using specially milled
fractions of hardwoods tn shape
products whose contours and vary
ing thicknesses formerly could be
made only from such moldahlcl
materials as plastics or metals
Typical uses of the molded wood
include tops (or kitchen counters
tables, dinette sets, school desks,
refrigerators and washing ma
chines; chair seats and backs
counter - stool seats, drawers,
shelves, cabinets, trays, automo
tive molded trim, special archi
tectural trim and miscellaneous
industrial parts.
To establish the new business,
Weyerhaeuser obtained exclusive
United Stales rights to a Euro
