• / 4 VERNONIA. ORE AROUND THE FARM AROUND THE FARM dv N D A« 195! draws to a close your county extension agents want to recognize the many volunteer unpaid leaders who have co operated in the educational pro- «rrams in agriculture, home econo mic«. and 4-H club work. These folks have given their time to plan the program, set up trial« and demonstrations, hold meetings, and lead 4-H clubs. Farmers have set up demon strations on forage crops, fer tilizer, thinning second growth timber, and other practices to show how they can be used to increase farm income. Homemakers ha' organized and conducted unit meetings to team about better homemaking practices. 4-H club leaders have devoted time and patience to teach groups of our boys and girls more about agriculture, home economics and good citizenship.

These an many other plans are among more than 200 available in the Oregon State college plan service. Each plan is drawn in such specific detail that ev?n amateur carpenters can follow them. In nearly every instance the plans grew from a definite n°ed. When college barns or other buildings were constructed, plans were adjusted for use on a small er scale. Whenever demand was strong for such things as sheep dipping vats, feed mixers, milk Plymouth’s Cranbrook Four-Door Sedan for ’52 Here’s the new Plymouth for 1952. a more beautiful, smoother operating, easier riding, safer car which fea tures 46 important improvements.

Apparently what the cutter expects to do and what the owner expects will be done are often two different things. The verbal contracts made on these sales are oft n made without experience on the part of the seller and deads of just what the agreement was are easily lost in the memories of on? or both parties involved. Printed forms for a simple tim ber sales agreement can be ob tained through the county ex tension office. Use of this form provides a way of putting down in writing details that can often cause misunderstandings. A space is provided for putting down the price and method of payment. Details such as slash disposal, use of roads, repair of fences, and the size timber that can be left laying in the woods can all be matter of record for the mutual protection of both buyer and seller. Finally a definite dat? for ter minating the contract can be agreed upon. This suggested agreement does not indicate what the d tails of the contract should be It simply lists the various items upon which the two parties may wish to write down a defi nite agreement. Sellers and buyers often feel that insisting upon a written con tract is casting reflection upon honesty of the other party and that offense will b? taken An adequate written contract could actually avoid many case« of hard feelings that result from misunderstandings of verba! contracts.
