AROUND THE FARM
The time for turning cattle out
<>n pasture is near at hand. -In
fact some pastures are already
being grazed.
When silage and hay supplies
run low and the grass gets a
few inches high—well let’s hope
we have an early spring so the
graes will keep coming after
being hit early.
Pastures that were given a good
application of nitrogen fertilizer
early this spring really show it
this time of year. With their dark
green color and extra growth
yeu can pick them out as you
drive by.
If you have not tried nitrogen
fertilizer on your own pastures
thia is the time of year to in­
quire around to see who in your
community is using nitrogen.
Study his results to see if it pays.
It certainly helps the pasture
Keep up with the cows if it can
have a head start in the spring
—«ay at least, five inches of
growth.
Particularly on heavy soils, one
of the worst effects of pasturing
too early is the soil packing.
those who have never seen the
crops growing or think it is dif­
ficult to grow should drop by
later this spring and see an as­
paragus planting in operation.
Some awards of scholarships to
4-H club members for their at­
tendance at this year's summer
school at Corvallis have already
been made, according to word
from Harold Black, county agent.
Three of the scholarships have
gone to club members living in
the Nehalem valley.
Bertie Lu Ashley, Mist, was
named winner of the Columbia
County Pomona Grange scholar­
ship.
She carried projects in
cooking, clothing, and food pres­
ervation. In addition to placing
well in the exhibits at the county
fair, she won a first in the Lower
Columbia salad making contest,
first in the cake baking contest,
second in the dollar dinner con­
test and second in the special
Kerr canning exhibit. She re­
ceived a whit.' award in the cake
baking contest at the Oregon state
fair.
The county fair board scholar­
ships went to Harriet Heath and
Ronald Anderegg, both of Ver­
nonia. Harriet won first in the
dollar dinner contest at the coun­
ty fair and also received a blue
award f°r her cooking exhibit.
At the Oregon state fair, she
placed second in the junior dollar
dinner contest.
Ronald placed 2nd in dairy
showmanship at the county fair
and his Holstein cow received a
first place ribbon. At the state
fair he won a third place ribbon
in showmanship and his cow
placed fourth in the judging.
Dates of 4-H summer school
this year are June 16-26. It will
be on the Oregon state college
campus at Corvallis.
Winners of other scholarships
will be announced soon.
Farmers are trying a variety of
weed control methods to beat
the high cost of hoeing.
Weed sprays and mechanical
weeders of various kinds have
been devised. Many of them are
very effective if properly used.
Fritz Jasa, Goble used a side
delivery rake to a good advan­
tage on his strawberry field. He
rfins the rake down the row so
the spring teeth scratch through
the strawberry plants. The teeth
will slip around the firmly rooted
strawberry crowns but many of
the smaller weeds will be tom
out.
The total taxes collected in the
United States for 1952 were about
$87 billion compared to a total
food bill of $60 billion for the
American people.

TREHARNE — Glen, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Don Reynolds, was
operated on Wednesday and a
piece of peanut was removed from
his lung. It was thought that he
might have another piece which
would have to be removed. The
peanut pieces had caused pneu­
monia to set in. His little sister,
Cathy, had given him the pea­
nuts to eat Saturday, not know­
ing that they would harm him.

THE VERNONIA EAGLE
Home extension leaders were
trained for the project on oven
meals by Agnes Kolshorn, nutri-
tion specialist from Oregon state
college, at the
Presbyterian
church in Clatskanie on March
30, with Frances Gallatin, home
agent, assisting. Thirty-four lead­
ers representing 18 units were
trained.
The Baders learned how to
plan and prepare oven meals to
suit the family, keeping in mind
balanced menus, temperature and
baking time suitable for all foods
in the oven at one time. How to
place foods in the oven for best
results and the use of wood stoves
and ovens with automatic time
controls were also studied.
Project leaders trained who
will give the oven meals demon­
stration to home extension units
in the Nehalem valley during
April and May are:
Mrs. J. E. Lonquist and Mrs.
A. R. Mills from the Mist-Nehalem
unit; Mrs. D. Marshall and Mrs.
Blanche Millis from the Vernonia
unit; Mrs. R. S. Stanley and Mrs.
Joe Baker from the Timber Route
Mrs. Walt Parker and Mrs. T. F.
Keasey from the Keasey unit.
