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 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.

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.
Such fine 'exhibits r quire an
untold amount of work and we
feel those folks who gave so gen-

4-H clothing projects ware on dis.

You don't need to soak dry
beans all night any more. 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. Use these tasty re­
cipes for economical, nutritious
winter meals.

Good i schools are the cornerstone of democracy in this country
where every boy and girl is guaranteed an education, . 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.
