Commercial possibilities of ex­
tracting chemicals from Douglas
fir and ponderosa pine barks
have resulted in several firms
becoming interested in develop­
ment of extraction plants, a
cording to Dr. E. F. Kurth, pr
fessor of wood chemistry at Or
gon State college.
The potential normal annual
supply of Douglas fir bark from
Oregon and Washington, Dr.
Kurth said, is about one and one-
half million tons, which .will
yield approximately 375,000 tons
of extractives consisting of tan­
nin, wax and dihydroquercetin,
a new drug with medicinal val­
ue. Bark residues can be utilized
for fuel, soil conditioners and
other products after the extracts
have been removed, he added.
He said current market values
of these three products obtained
from an average ton of dry
Douglas fir bark are $26 to $49
for tannin, $65 to $100 for wax
and $700 to $1300 for dihydro­
quercetin.

weevil as long as adult weevil
continue to appear in the field,
according to W. G. Nibler, coun­
ty extension agent.
Growers have been finding
adult weevil for some time in
fields at lower elevations and
some have applied bait two and
three times already.
Fields should be watched clos­
ely during the summer and when
adult weevil are found bait
should be applied. In older fields
patches that show the effect of
weevil can be watched particu­
larly close.
During the past year weevil
has reduced yields and seriously
effected spots in many straw­
berry fields, reports Nibler. The
weevil has caused damage even
for growers who followed what
was thought to be very good con­
trol measures. The greatest diffi­
culty appears to come from the
fact that all adult weevil do not
emerge from the ground at one
time. Some years they appeal
to emerge over a long period of
time. It is then that fields must
be watched closelv and baiting

Plan fa’l drainage work now.
Wm. Armstrong, chairman of the
Columbia County PMA commit­
tee, recently mads this statement.
He said that most farmers of Co­
lumbia county hope to install
drainage systems between the
time after harvest and before the
fall rains.
In order to attain maximum
benefit from tile or ditches in­
stalled, Mr. Armstrong urges all
farmers who plan on doing
drainage work to plan the work
before it is started and a more
efficient drainage system will be
the result.
The chairman went on to say
that the technical assistance of
the SCS engineers was available
to any farmer carrying out an
approved PMA practice for til­
ing or ditching. The SCS techni­
cians will design and lay out the
drainage system. By signing up
for the PMA practice the farm­
er may receive 50 per cent of
the cost of til- installed, includ­
ing labor; or for drainage ditch­
es he may receive 70 per cent of
the cost not to exceed 12 cents
per cubic yard of earth removed.

Cappy might have been pulling
our leg. but from where I sit, lots
of us get so wrapped up in our­
selves we often forget “where
we're going." Some folks get so
narrow they even begrudge their
neighbors the right to enjoy a
glass of beer now and then. Let's
not forget that just as trains run
on steam and oi*. democracies run
