Rail Crossing
Accidents Up
Fall Seeding Can
Be Done Now
Railroad crossing accidence* have
skyrocketed in Oregon this year,
it has been disclosed by Robert S.
Farrell, Jr., secretary of state.
In the first half of 1946 the
death toll at crossings more than
doubled the toll of the same per­
iod last year, with total automo­
bile-train collisions amounting to
129. Other traffic accidents, while
on the rise, have not kept pace
with this type.
“While increased car travel and
speeded rail schedules are fac­
tors,” said Farrell, “the real
blame is on the drivers. Only
when an electric signal fails does
the fault lie on anyone except
the man at the wheel.”

Fall seeding of pastures and hay
can be made to advantage this
time of the year on cultivated
laids or in the ashes of burned
over logged off land, states Geo.
A. Nelson, county agent. There
has been considerable moisture
already this year with the early
fall rains to insure sprouting of
seed planted.
The importance of doing a small
amount of seeding where it is not
possible to make a rarger seeding
is important states Mr. Nelson.
If a few brush piles are burned
in the pasture, this should be
seeded to a good pasture mixture,
rather than to let it come up to
weeds.
Where there has been no burn­
ing and cattle have trampled the
grounds, it is possible to make
a small seeding to add to pasture
production.
There are various pasture mix­
tures that can be used depend ng
upon conditions of the grounds
and the uses to be made of the
pasture. Some of the important
grasses to be used as a basis for
this pasture are the alta fescue,
creeping red fescue, and chewing
fescue and along with this is
the white and alsike clover, lotus
major, and sub-clover.
Other
grasses of importance are the
pyrennial rye, orchard grass, and
the meadow fox tail.
The various mixtures recom­
