In many places several seeds per square yard can be found in strawberry fields, pastures, or cut over land. Folks owning land they want to get back into timber are very happy with this seed crop. Steep ground, land too heavy with brush to give pasture, and poorly stock ed second growth stands may be greatly benefited by some special care to guard this seed crop so it can make a stand of timber. J. C. Skeans, Rainier, is trying to take special advantage of this seed crop. He has about 300 acres of second growth timber he is managing on a selective cutting program. Scattered through his woods he has several large clear ings that have mainly fern with a heavy crop of young alder com ing on. Skeans doesn’t value the alder and doesn’t plan to clean these areas for pasture or cultivation. He wants to get these areas back into trees to increase his woodland acreage. Starting this summer when it was evident that there would be a good crop of Douglas fir seed, Skeans started slashing the young alder in these clearings to give the seedling Douglas fir the best possible chance to make a good stand. Farmers who have similar situa tions might consider special as sistance to these seedings and getting a stand. Of particular importance is keeping fir out of 4« I I * OUR $64.00 QUESTION IS - “What makes a groaner A Crooner?” Our answer ...

This would give him a guide on calling low producers and in feeding individual animals according to production. He figures the owner-sampler test ing arrangement available through the DHIA is just what he wants. Once a month Blair weighs the milk from each cow and takes a sample of their milk. Percy Ramage, DHIA supervisor, picks up the sample, runs a test-and supplies Blair with a record show ing the per cent of fat in the milk and the monthly milk and fat production for that cow. A record book gives Blair a month by month account of how his cows are doing. While the record is not official the program fil’.s a real need or the small com mercial dairyman interested in improving his herd. Very often on a wet piece of ground blasting a drainage ditch with dynamite is one of the easiest ways to get the job done. Lloyd Lynch, Scappoose, tells of a ditch recently blasted for Chester Shepard. Scappoose, at a vest of $300. Estimate on getting the job done with machinery was $1500. This striking advantage does not always exist but where it is too wet to get machinery in, and on small jobs, blasting is often far the cheapest. It is quite easily done and with a little training anyone can do it. The soil must be saturated with water and a special grade cf ditching powder is necessary how ever. Getting around the danger in volved in handling a bull is one important point in considering artificial insemination of dairy cattle. This risk was forcefully brought out recently at a dairy meeting of 14 farmers when 9 of them reported being thrown around by a bull and 2 ind cated that the dog was all that saved them from getting killed. October 9-15 Designated Fire Prevention Week; Safety Urged Odds against your home suffer ing fire damage during the next 12 months are about 1 in 50. according to Charles R. Ross, O.S.C. forestry specialist, who heads up the National Fire Pre vention week campaign in the state for the extension service. October 9 to 15 has been desig nated National Fire Prevention week by presidential proclamation, and Ross is urging that all city and rural residents take an inventory of fire hazards in their homes, and before the week is finished, see that steps are taken to elimi nate them. Burns, for example, are the lar gest single source of fatal acci dents for children up to four years of age, Ross points out. Despite our -comparatively high standard of living, one authority has stated that a higher percent age of United States citizens live in fire traps than do the inhabi tants of any other country. This is due, the authority reasons, to our architecture, building ma terials, use of appliances and oils, and our smoking habits. Since approximately one-half of Oregon’s families live in rural areas where fire fighting equip ment is either non-existent or must be transported over long distances, fire prevention is doubly impor tant. Damage to Oregon insured city and farm homes during the year 1947 amounted to about $3,- 000,000. Lack of License Nearly Lose3 Deer for Angler MIST — Sequel to last week’s deer story, the one that got away and yet didn’t. Bud Jubenville, and wife came over from Clats kanie to fish in the Nehalem. Of course a hunting license wasn’t “Dodge today's best new car value —in every way!" GERALD HYDE Son Francisco, Calif. needed to fish, hence the license for hunting was left at home. Up on the fishing scene appeared a fine big buck. Well, all Bud could do was tell some one else who had the necessary document with him. Bud went home with some meat. Mrs. Francis Burnham and Mrs. Geo. Jones were callers at the Austin Dowlings Saturday. The hunters return included the Mathews party and Claud John son’s party. The Mathews got one deer and one coyote. L. P. Wikstrom, Jr., has a used car purchased last week. Roy Hughes was in Forest Grove last week on business. The Rodger Quirins were gone the greater part of last week on a motor trip. Mrs. Austin Dowling and son, Bernard, were in Clatskanie Sat urday. The Francis Burnhams came Sunday from Portland to visit relatives. A few from here attended the football game at Clatskanie be tween Clatskanie and Vernonia. The score was 12-6 in favor of Vernonia.
