VERNONIA EAGLE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1937 definitely cheering to the timber conuties of the coast, which must some day soon produce revenue from their growing hinter-lands Entered as second class matter of cut over hills. August 4, 1922, at the post office The chances seem bright that at Vernonia, Oregon, under the within the next several years men act of March 3, 1879, necessary seeding and fencing will be found to establish large with enough capital to do the herds of both cattle and sheep over the bare hills of Catsop, Co lumbia, Tillamook and other coast counties, all of which face a common problem in vanishing forests and vanishing forest re RAY D.

First fruits of the important research into grazing possibilities of western Oregon’s logged-off lands will be realized within the next few weeks when about one hundred head of sleek, fat range cattle go to market at the Portland stock yards. Superintendent Howell of the Astor Experiment station, who has directed the experiment that was started last fall, seemed quite pleased with the first season’s results. The grasses, many var ieties of which were seeded on the cut-over and biirned-over acres of the experimental section, grew lushly and to waist-deep lengths over the denuded hills. The range cattle, mostly Here ford heifers and cows from east ern Oregon, began growing rapid ly as soon as they were turned out on the grassland and will go to market much fatter than when they cams. And three times as many cattle could have been sup ported on the land. The experiment is of course not conclusive yet. More re search must be done and the effect on reforestation must be determined definitely before large-scale grazing can be under taken. But the results so far are Flour Hyland Chief 49 lb.

Two distinct Ford V-8 cars, differing in appearance, appoint ments and price, were presented. One was the de luxe Ford V-8, the other the standard Ford V-8. The standard car is designed for owners to whom economy in first cost and operating coSt is paramount. The de luxe car provides added luxury and style for those who desire them. Both cars have the same V-8 chassis. The eight de luxe types are available only with the 85 horsepower V-8 engine, the three standard types with either the 85 horsepower or the 60 horse power engine. The de luxe car is a stylish sister of the standard. It is en- tirely new in appearance. The radiator grille is of new design. Appearance of the hood is longer and more sweeping. Fenders are massive. Interior appointments are in keeping with the styling of the exterior. Substantially more room in the closed sedans, grea ter passenger comfort and much larger luggage space are pro vided. The standard V-8 cars reveal new styling, with a different da- diator grille design, long hood and flowing contours. The spa cious interiors are roomy and attractively upholstered and ap pointed. In addition to the two passen ger cars, Ford is to present an expanded line of V-8 trucks and commercial cors. Both are ’newly styled to lend added “eye appeal” in commercial transportation. A new group of “one-tonner” trucks also is offered, in ad dition to the 112-inch commercial cars and the 134-inch and 157- inch wheelbase trucks. The new “one-tonner” is de signed specifically to bridge the gap between the commercial cars and the truck groups. Available with either 85 horsepower or 60 horsepower engine, it is expected to make the economies of the latter engine more widely avail able in commercial transportation. Other advances for 1938 are the new 134-inch wheelbase truck, replacing the 131-%-inch wheel base in the big truck line, a new frame width for the 134-inch wheelbase and 157-inch wheel base units, improved brakes and easier steering and stronger con struction throughout. — Adv., Crawford Motor Co.
