Errors attract attention. Proof
of that was Viry evident after
last week’s issue of The Eagle
had gone into the mail and sub
scribers had the oportunity to
read it. Apparently one of the
gremlins r.sponsible for misar
ranged type “was at work be
cause just two pieces of type,
the figures in a price, were trans
posed.
R aders were not slow
to notice the result and inform
this office of it.
To make the matter more mys
terious. the ad in which the price
in error app ared, was one that
had been printed correctly in
three
previous
issues.
Those
things will happ n in a print
shop and The Eagle shop is no
exc ption.
The ad was that of the St.

wanting logs and quoting the
price of $51 a cord. Because of

cords and only in very minor d?-
tails did he suggest changes. Only
one warnin'! came from the audi
tor and that was to use caution
in estimating the amount of taxes
that will be collect d when next
year's budget is prepared. To
overestimate tax collections now
when
payments
are
getting
slower, would hinder the making
of a satisfactory budget, he
pointed out.
Thre-* people here have been
fortunate in recent weeks as far
as money is concerned.
They
have held dollar bills which car
ried winning serial numbers in
the current give-away program
of a Portland paper and have
received $25.00 each. The
lucky peopl" have been Bilil
Braun. Mildred Tupper and Cleve
Robertson. It paid them well to
check the serial numbers on their
bills.

Many farmers in Columbia
county are expected to take ad
vantage of the financial assis
tance offered under th local agri,
cultural conservation program for
the installation of underground
drainage systems, according to
Don Coin Walrod. county exten
sion agent.
Assistance is limited to th? in
stallation of tile or other approved
underground conduit, such as
lumber box drains or peat soils.
No assistance is given for repair
ing existing drains.
Maximum cost sharing farmers
can exp.ct is 10 cents for four-
inch til* installed with increased
amounts for larger sizes of tile.
If the tile is over eight inches,
50 per c.nt of the cost installed
would be allowed. The govern
ment cost share of lumber box
drains is 13uz cents installed.
Farmers must receive approval
of th? county agricultural conser
vation program office in St.
Helens before the practice is
started in order to qualify for the I
assistance.

with the correct figure being

having a soil test made and ap
plying the lime fertilizer materi
als recommended. A minimum of
30 pounds of nitrogen per acre
would be suggested to insure j
rapid growth.
When seeding wat.rways it is
best to drill seed shallow and in
figure eights so that drill marks
will not run parallel to the flow
of water. Seeds r.commended by
County Extension Agent Don
Coin Walrod include alta fescue,
creeping red fescue or mixtures
of the two. Under some condi
tions and with approval of the
. committee, other se.ds might be
allowed.
Establishment of sod waterways
will be particularly applicable to
farms in hilly areas where the re
moval of surface water over sod-
covered strips will prevent ero
sion..
Farm owners planning to use
cost-sharing programs during 1954
are urged by A.S.C. Secretary
Donald Grieves to sign up at the
office in St. Helens prior to De

The handling of the office work
relating to affairs of the City of
Vernonia earned a compliment
Monday evening from Bill Holm,
partner in the auditing firm of
I. D. Wood and company, Port
land. This firm annually audits
the books of the city and Holm
met with councilmen Monday to
cover in d tai] the audit completed
early this fall for the fiscal year
of 1951-52.
Holm wasted no time in ex
plaining the audit and the details
relating to the handling of city
affairs as determined when the
audit is made. The audit goes
into considerable detail as to
methods followed, whether those
methods are satisfactory or not
and suggests ways to improve
where the auditor thinks im
provement should be made.
His report for the fiscal year
completed June 30 lauded the
handling of city business. He was
