ing near a stand of timber. 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

L. C. Blair, Vernonia, was in
terested in getting a test on the
cows in his herd to determine how
they were producing. 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.

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

The Rodger Quirins were gone
the greater part of last week on

Mrs. Austin Dowling and son,

The Francis Burnhams came
Sunday from Portland to visit

A few from here attended the
