gon, wishes you and your staff to
know that in behalf of th consti-
tuents they represent they are
indeed grateful for your assis-
tance in furnishing equipment and
personnel to fight fire in our
gymnasium Saturday night, No-
vember 14, 1953.
"It was the unanimous belief
of experts who have examined the
building since the fire that the
effectiveness of fire fighting ef-
! forts was very high regardless of
what organization may have di
rected it.
"The board of directors recog
nize that the spirit and fervor of
those who voluntarily served is
largely responsible for the fact
that the major portion of the
school plant was saved, and the
loss of lif" and add d confusion
was largely prevented by the
vigilance of the police depart
ment.
"The building will be entirely
r. stored to new condition and the
insurance will cover absolutely
all damage to school property at
no expense to the district. The
restored building will be a mem
orial to the wond rful spirit of
assistance which is here grate

county ACP committee is the
planting of forest trees. Trees
can be planted for several differ
ent purposes, such as reforesta
tion, windbreaks, or fence post or
Christmas tree production. The
county ACP committee will pay
as high as $15 per acre for tree
planting. This amount will be
somewhere near half the cost, if
the work is done on a hire basis.
There are two very common
situations in Western Oregon,
says Don Coin Walrod, county
extension agent,
where
tree
planting can go a long way in
building up the value of the farm.
The first of these conditions is
the logged-over area. Some older
logged areas have not restocked
satisfactorily even after 10 or 15
y.ars.
The farm forester who
serves the county will visit farms
on request and without charge
and will advise if a logged area
would benefit from planting.
The second situation in western
Oregon where tree planting is
especially
recommended.
says
Walrod, applies to old fields and
fern areas, where scattered trees
and groups of trees established
themselves years ago but many
openings have persisted.
Non-stocked forest land now
worth no more than $10 per acre
could well have a value of $50
per acre in twenty years if suc
cessfully planted. An active per
son can usually put in 500 or
more trees er day. The work is
best done in the winter or early
spring season, times w’hen labor
is usually most available.
If the planting area is obstruc
ted by scrubby brush which needs
to be cleared or killed before
planting, there is an additional
conservation payment for this
practice. It is not to exceed $10
per acre.
There is also a conservation
payment for fencing a windbreak
or woodland which may go as
high as 75 cents per rod of barbed
wire or $1.10 per rod of woven
wire fence. The ACP fencing
payment will go a long way to
ward paying for the fence that
should be placed around th?
