The re sult® of such surveys help farmers to determine what to plant, when V- buy and sell, and sometimes uncover marketing opportunities. ruailed VERNONIA, ORE. BY DON COIN WALROD County Extension Agent old Port Orford seedlings are available. All of the hardwoods are one-year-old stock. Cost of these forest seedlings is less than a cent apiece. The trees are not intended for orna mental use and so are available only to those folks who can certi- fy that they own three or more acres. The trees are to go for windbreaks, shelterbelts, or wood lands. Recently there has been considerable interest in growing Christmas trees and many of these trees are used in this man- ner. Woodland owners have pur chased a surprising number of forest seedlings from the state nursery during the past four years that records are available. The total number is 148,650 trees for an average of over 37,000 trees annually. Offhand, this sounds like quite a number of trees, but when we consider that planting rates vary from about a thousand per acre up to nearly three thousand in the case of Christmas tree plantings, it means that probably no more than about eighteen or twenty acres were planted. Fortunately, nature does a very good job of restocking in this area. Forms for ordering trees from the state nursery are now avail- sible in our office although no »■nipments of trees will be made prior to December 1. However, it is not too early to make plans lor the use and planting of these tons. In the past, orders for trees have been serviced in the order that they were received. This practice will probably be tontinued, so it may pay to order early while all species grown are available. Date of shipment can be specified. Ten species of trees are avail able to Western Oregon land- <«vners this year. Douglas fir will probably be one of the most popular, but some of the others are Port Orford cedar. Noble fir.

By Helen Selli* Home Extension Agent The County Advisory Commit tee will hold a regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Kenneth Bee son on Friday, October 23, be ginning at 10:30 in the morning. Members are asked to bring along a sack lunch for the noon hour. Extension units have made an excellent start with fall meetings. Especially commendable is the provision which has been made tor Child Care in many of the units. This has enade it p< :ble for many of the younger womji in Columbia county to attend meetings. The Azalea House dedication to be held cn the Oregon Stat? Coll ge campus at Corvallis on Sunday, October 18, is an event which shuuld interest many of our Columbia county extension members. Over eight hundred dollars has been contribut d toward the con struction of this building and $165 toward the furnishings by Colum bia county extension women. The present county chairman for the Azalea House project is Mrs. Lester Peterson of Helena. Katherine Keasey and Barbara Eades from Columbia county are among 58 students who are liv ing in this cooperative house. The right paint on ths inside of your house will save the paint on the outside. One way to stop peeling on the outside is to use rubber bas ■ in side. This idea comes from Mar garet Tuller. housing specialist for Oregon State college’s . xtension service. It’s moisture from inside the house that makes trouble. It goes right through th? walls and pushes th- paint off the outside, Putting rubber base paint on the walls creates a vapor barrier —that moisture just can't get through. Presto—no pealing. Another advantage of rubber base paint is it creates beautiful rooms. It comes in a wide variety of colors. It brushes on easily —and the brush can be cleaned with water when the job is done, < This paint will even go over wall. paper. That’s getting two things done at once—ketping paint on the outside and making the rooms look better—all with one pain: job, using rubber base paint.
