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.

”On
March So. 1952. I attended a
home extension meeting at the
home of Sadie Bardell," related
Mrs. Bullis.
"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

QUESTION: With so many
new kinds of insurance policies
being written would I be wise
to see if several of my cover
ages could b? written in one
policy?
ANSWER: You certainly would
be! Best thing to do is to take
all your policies to a good in
surance consultant for analysis.
He can probably save you
quite a bit of money and give
you much broader protection.
•If you'll address your own
insurance questions to this of
fice, we’ll try to give you
the correct answers and there
will be no char?« or obligation
of any kind.

With summer coming on those
folks who have been able to
figure out a way to get water for
irrigation, are making time count
in preparing for the coming ir

In getting ac
quainted in th? county, we stop
ped last week to visit a few min
utes with Les Blair, Vernonia.
Les was in the process of putting
a permanent six-inch main line
under the state highway for his
irrigation system. This line will
take water from the Nehalem
river 2100 feet away to a pasture
that Les is planning for his dairy
cattle.
Irrigation water is not essen
