4 THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 1953 THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, AROUND THE FARM"X? Nitrogen makes a real differ ence in grass, Dick Richards, manager of Joe Fisher's Hereford Ranch, told us when we asked him Why one of the irrigated fields along the highway had definite dark green streaks across it. In this particular field it was difficult for the operator to see where he had applied the am monium sulfate, and so there were numerous skips. The grass was a dark green and making good growth where the fertilizer was, but in the skips there was very little grass in spite of water. As the forage people have told us all along, this points out the fact that under irrigated condi tions fertilizer is most apt to be a limiting factor in production On non-irrigated hill lands both nitrog« n and water may be limit ing factors, to say nothing of the other plant food elements. Every ton of hay or its equiva lent that is produced requires about thirty to forty-five pounds of nitrogen, dep nding upon the kinds. Thus, if we are to expect thoN ■ three tons of hay equivalent per acre, it is going to take mure fertilizer than many of us have been accustomed to thinking of applying at today’s prices, it’s still a good buy. I I erously of their time and efforts are due a word of thanks and appreciation for making a real contribution- to the fair and their community. • I ! ; I I ! ' I SEAWRIGHT’S VERNONIA CLEANERS Jerol Moran, Vemonia, was named champion 4-H showman at the Columbia county fair on Friday afternoon, August 14. He received the first trophy to be presented to a champion 4-H show man by the county fair board. After winning the champion beef showman ribbon, Moran competed against the Champion dairy showman, Ronald Ander egg, Vernohia, and champion sheep showman, Jim Bryant, Rai nier, to win the over-all cham pionship cup. Results of the 4-H shuwmanship classes for the Nehalem valley were as follows: Senior Guernsey—1st, Donna Buckley. Senior Holstein — 1st, Ronald And"regg; 3rd. Rosalie Kirkbride. Senior Jersey, Milk ing Shorthorn, and Ayrshire—1st, Margaret Buckley. Senior b.-ef— 1st, Jerol Moran. Four-H club members exhibited a total of 48 dairy cattle, 26 beet cattle, 14 sheep, 1 goat, 30 rabbits and 5 pens of poultry. Th? champions selected by the judges in the different breeds for this valley w re: Holstein, Ron ald Anderegg, Vernonia; Short horn female, Jerol Moran, Ver nonia; beef steer Wayne Larson, Birkenfeld. The following places were awarded in the judging which was held on Thursday and Friday, August 13-14: Guernsey junior calf—3rd. Donna Buckley. Hol stein senior calf—1st, Ronald An deregg; 2nd, Ronald Anderegg. Holstein cow—1st, Ronald Ander- Vernon Boylan, Scappoose, re- ports good control of woolly apple aphis on his apple trees after spraying with malathon. In other areas we have had good reports on filbert aphis with this material, and we have se°n good control on the black bean aphis and rose aphis. This material is on the market for the first time this year, and is doing a good job of con- trolling aphids, mites, and pear psylla. While it is safer to use than some of the other insecticides, it still needs to be handled with care and according to manufac turer’s instructions. We note that some packages of malathon indi- cate that it is not to be used within 21 days of the time that the vegetables, etc., is to be used. The annual summary of grade A milk production costs for the Portland area for 1952 shows that production per cow and labor per cow are very important factors in the cost of producing a hun dred pounds of milk. The avera- age per cwt. cost for 45 herds was $6.15. The 22 low-cost herds av eraged $5.43 and the 23 high-cost herds averaged $7.32. The low-cost herds (1) produced more milk per cow (2) the labor cost was $.78 less per cwt. of milk (3) th" fe d cost was $.82 less per cwt. of milk. The average low-cost herd had 34 cows compared to 22 for the high-cost herd. The annual la bor required for all 45 herds was 128 hours p r cow. The cows in this survey produc. ed 8045 pounds of milk and 353 pounds of milk fat. This is less than the DHIA average of 8377 pounds of milk and 387 pounds of butterfat. We were som?what surprised and very much pleased to see the nigh quality of the Grange booths at our county fair. From what we have seen of such booths over the state, we are inclined to feel that ours would compare favor ably with the best of any of them.

New methods of cooking dry bear.s and whole dry beans and peas have shortened soaking time. First, boil them in water for 2 minutes; second, remove from the heat and soak one hour. Then they are ready to cook. To shorten cooking time, don't add tomatoes, catsup or vinegar until beans are cooked almost tender. These acids added earlier serve to delay softening. If you use the right method, you can cook dry beans in a pres sure sauce pan. To cut down foaming in the , kettle or pressure sauce pan.^add I a tablespoon of fat for each cup | of beans. This helps in keeping most beans, except limas, from foaming. For modern cookery of dry beans, peas and lentils, call or write the county extension office, courthouse, St. Helens, for USDA leaflet 326.

These schools must have financial support to survive and impiove to meet the needs of the present as well as the future. Taxes provide that support and those taxes are provided to a large extent by the timbered lands of the Nehalem valley for schools in the valley. Burned forests pay no taxes. To provide for the future, as well as the present, the forests must be kept free of fire.
