Cochran 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. . to enhance your facial features as well GMStts] eye County Cows Make Honor Roll Eight dairy cows completing 305 day lactations in May made honor roll records according to E.

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 continued as long as live adult weevil are found around th? strawberry plant. spent Saturday and Sunday in Portland where he attended the district council of the CIO union.

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.
