DON COIN WALROD AROUND THE FARM BY County Extension Agent One reason some folks have given for clear cutting their se cond growth timber instead of making a thinning cut is the extra trouble of selective cutting. True, it involves extra work to log selectively. Som? folks have questioned the problem of laying out roads, falling and bucking trees and yarding the logs. To help answer some of their questions Columbia county's farm forestry committee has arranged a special demonstration to be held at the fairgrounds on Tues day, May 12. The committee hopes that some of the questions can be answered by doing some actual thinning in an unthinned stand of second growth. ■ Those who own a patch of tim ber are invited to attend and see how the job is doné. I am sure that everyone will find the job much less difficult than it would seem at first, though. A number of experienced people will help in putting on this demonstration. Bob Lindsay of Vernonia and Paul Goodmonson, extension forester from OSC, will discuss the principles used in selecting trees for harvest. Glen Hawkins, Vernonia, will discuss laying out roads. Ron McDonald, Keasey, an experienced timber faller who has worked in both old growth and second growth will discuss falling tr.es. Some trees in the 30 to 60 years old demonstration trial will be felled and bucked by McDonald to demonstrate the use of both a chain saw and hand tools. A regular farm tractor and possible a team of horses will be used to yard out some logs. These logs may even toe loaded on a truck to carry out the complete operation. This demonstration will be held in dinse, unthinned stands or timber and at the close the group will be invited to go over and visit the adjoining timber har- vest tract at the fairgrounds. This tract has been thinned four times with 33 cords of wood re- moved. This will provid? an op. portunity to compare thinned and I unthinned stands of timber. The demonstration starts at 10:30 a.m. and should be com pleted by 2:30 p.m. You are in vited to bring a sack lunch and the committee will furnish the coffee. other crops, too, but where it can be had at a reasonable cost, it will result in a longer pasture season with greater production. Individual cases determine the economics of the operation. More water for crop to use brings about a need for additional plant food in the way of fertilizers to contain the greatest plant growth. With the spring rains we’ve been having, irrigation has not be. n needed, but when the rains do slow up it is important not to wait too long before applying the first irrigation. About 10 days or 2 weeks will probably be about right. When pastures become too dry and plant growth is slowed or stopped, permanent I damage results and that year’s , crop yield is lowered. Now is a good time to get that irrigation | system ready. THE MRS. R. A. BULLIS of Rt. 1, Goble is shown above cutting fresh homemade bread for an after school snack for her children.

"The hostess and Marguerite Von Allman were the project leaders for the demon stration "Yeast Bread and Rolls." I had never baked bread and never intended to, but as the bread was good and the recipes were for only two loaves, I de cided to try out a batch. "To my surprise, it turned out perfectly, or at least it seemed that way to my husband, two children and myself; we ate one warm from the oven besides our usual lunch. Since that time, we often eat bread and jam for de sert. To date, we haven’t bought one loaf of bread.” Mrs. Bullis bakes two or three times a week, two loaves at a time, as the family likes fresh THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1953 Mayonnaise Instant Coffee Pear Hakes Pineapple Applesauce H& Dry Cereal 2 Eest Foods or Nu Made □uarl Jar Edwards 100/1.
