^4 THURSDAY, OCT. 24, 1957 THE EAGLE. VERNONIA. OHE. AROUND THE FARM Changes in the Conservation Lenerve portion of the Soil Bank for 1958 in May make certain I of this program more at- < active to some farmers. For the most part these changes con- < ern forestry and tree production Under the provisions of the soil Lank, farmers can enter into a i-ntract to plant two or more . «.res of cultivated land to trees. The contract period must be for ,-rt least ten years and may be for as long as 1$ if tree planting truck is not readily available. Landowners planting trees may ¡eceive 80 per cent of the cost t.f getting the trees planted up to a maximum of $30 per acre. In addition to this assistance m ¿anting, the farmer will receive an annual payment for the term of his contract. Annual payments can vary and will depend upon the crop his tory of the land that went into trees. Und-r the present regula- i .ons the payment can be the iiiaximum set for the county or aistnct if the land planted is be ing diverted from soil depleting < n>ps such as small grains or row crops. If land is not being oiverted then it would take the minimum rate. For Columbia ■ "unty the maximum rate is pre i-ently $12 p-r acre per year an I »he minimum is 30 per cent of that or $3.60. Under the newest regulations, farmers who are not diverting from soil depleting crops but ar«- v tiling to put their entire farm into trees may receive the maxi mum assistance up to the full payment. Others who can put i major portion into tre -s can re ««•ive up to 50 per cent of the maximum annual payment. We feel both of these programs are worthy of consideration by many Columbia county farmers, «-specially those who have small places qr places that are past Um- operations. Sign-ups need to be made with the ASC office, St. Helens. From now until November 1 •i the time to plant winter wheat and barley.

St Helens, re cently asked how to preserve salmon and steelhead eggs for bait. We passed along directions from the department of fish and game of Oregon State college. We can provide this material for others wishing it. Briefly, however, freezing and treating with borax keem to of fer the b-st possibilities for the preparation of cluster egg baits. Eggs are first cut into bait size pieces. The eggs are then allow ed to drain and harden. After packing in jars and sealing they are quick-frozen. In the bora:: treatment the eggs are handled in th^ same way except that the baits are liberally covered with powdered borax and allowed to harden overnight before packing in jars. Boraxi d eggs will keep for short periods without refrig eration, but for long periods will need to be frozen.
