TILLAMOOK HEADIJG h T 8 •AY, TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT OLEO REFERENDUM “I am afraid that unless the dairy men get busy and spend some money they’re going to get licked in the oleo referendum,” warned State Sen ator Sam Brown of Gervais, Marion county. “I get the surprise of my life •very once in a while at the amount of that stuff that is used—and by dairymen, too, who, storekeepers tell me, bring in their own products and take back substitutes. I can’t for the life of me see how a farmer can be so inconsistent.” Senator Brown’s influence was one of the principal factors in the pass age of the anti-oleo bill which now is the subject of referendum, and he is deeply interested in seeing the mea sure sustained at the polls this fall. Asked about conditions in his sec tion prior to the light rainfall the first week in June, he said: "Things up the valley are all right in spite of the dry weather, but continued leek of rain will hurt. Early strawberries have been damaged and the later var ieties will be, without rain. My logans look as though cyclone struck them, and I have plowed out half of them, but, of course, most of the damage to them was due to the cold of last winter. My evergreens never looked finer, and unless the drought is ex tended we’ll have a bumper crop. Grain still is all right.”— Oregon Farmer.

Tillamook, Oregon The Tillamook county fire patrol association, which was organized by a body of individual timber owners in 1919 has been doing efficient service since that time. A. A. Segersten, district fire warden, has supervision of twenty wardens in this section which comprises an area of about 700,000 acres of timber land. He has been in Tillamook and vicinity for some time working wtih A. L. McCarty state fire law enforcement officer for Tillamook county and portions of Yamhill and Washington counties. In order to strengthen the enforcement of the fire protection laws George E. Upton has been added to the force of the district’s officers and will work with Mr. McCarty in the prevention of fires. The work since 1919 has been very satisfactory as the number and seriousness of fires since that time have been on the decline. The chief difficulties at present seem to be with awkwardness in logging op erations, and a great portion of the fires are started in the logged-off areas. Several thousand signs are to be posted throughout the district and large sign boards are beng placed at conspicuous places along the high ways. Two fire patrol planes are stationed at Eugene and will be avail able for duty in any part of the district upon being called by the war dens. Strict enforcement of the laws will be adhered to in an effort to fur ther lessen fire hazard.

Hoard’s Dairyman: This is a mighty good time to buy well bred dairy bulls for they are selling at bargain prices. These are red letter days for the buyer of bulls. Good cows, straight, typy and with credit able records, are in demand and are selling at very reasonable prices, al! of which show that if a person ex pects to be a breeder he should seek good cattle.
