Oregon Victory Gardeners Spurred On for '44 The fire danger signals are up throughout the western Oregon counties and especially here in Columbia county where the wood ed areas are dry for this season of the year, according to Otto H. Petersen, the “Keep Oregon Green”- county chairman. Rainfad for the last three months in this area is 12.15 inches below nor mal. The real fire threat will come within the next three months from fem fires, for with the shortage of rainfall a few days />f hot sunshine could turn the thousands of acres of heavy, mat ted braken patches into veritable tinderboxes. These fern patches in the western Oregon counties are nature’s seedling nurseries, for millions of young trees find shelter in the fern for the first few years of their lives. Fern patches are ideal sites for junior forests and if fire can be kept out of these areas, the county chairman continued, forest repro duction will be insured for future crops.
