They have met with some suc­ cess in increasing the number of pods per plant but have had no success in getting more peas into each pod. High levels of nitrogen supplied to the plants up to the time the pods started to swell increased the yields. For the grower, this means that nitrogen must be applied to peas early in the growing season if it is to be beneficial. There has been some indication that magnesium tends to influence the number of peas per pod. But magnsium plays a complicated role. It is reported that magnesium helps to make more phosphorus available to the plant and the in­ creased phosphorus probably is the factor responsible for the increased yield.

He was allowed to return to his home the same day and has recuperated enough to re­ turn to his job. Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Stanley from Quapaw, Oklahoma have been visiting at the home of her sister and husband, the Los Hors­ leys since August 1. They left here to return to their home Monday morning, August 13. Mrs. Robert Reynolds and two daughters, and Miss Charlotte Weaver from Seaside picked up Mrs. Reynold’s mother, Mrs. Exie Weaver, here last Saturday morn­ ing to drive to Grants Pass to vis­ it Mabie and Stanley Jones. Mabie is another daughter of Mrs. Wea­ ver. The group drove down via Salem so that they could visit briefly with Mrs. Weaver's grand­ daughter, Miss Virginia Mae Wea­ ver who is a patient at the Fair- view Home. They returned to their respective homes Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Elsie Miller and son Nick, previous Vernonia residents who have been living in Eugene the past year with the Hubert McNatt family, have recently moved to McMinnville. Tony, Larry and Tommy Wea­ ver attended an Assembly of God church picnic Sunday afternoon. It had been planned for Big Eddy park but was moved to the church basement due to the rain. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Reynolds and three children from Seaside are staying at the home of his par­ ents looking after the property while they are vacationing in Wy­ oming and Arkansas. Mr. and Mrs. Mark J. Miller, previous Vernonia residents now living in St. Helens, visited friends on Timber Rt., and in Vernonia Sunday afternoon. Custom gios,.lined model. Double elements.

Testing of 304 herds in the coun­ ty during the past fiscal year re­ vealed just under 2 percent of the cattle were reactors to the ag­ glutination test. Actually, all of these reactor cattle^ were located in just five herds. Besides being a threat to human health, this di­ sease can frequently be disasterous for the owner of such a herd. Test and slaughter of reactor cattle has long been a means of reducing the prevalence of the di­ sease, but with the advent of vac­ cination, herd owners can really protect themselves and their herds. This vaccination must be done by a veterinarian to be official and be­ tween the ages of 8 and 12 months, depending upon whether the ani­ mals are dairy or beef. Because both the state and fed­ eral governments are very much interested in reducing or elimi­ nating this disease, present pro­ visions make it possible for the livestock owner to get vaccina­ tions for brucellosis without any charge. Most brown spots in lawns dur­ ing the summer are associated with moisture problems. Applying water too rapidly and starting the watering program too late in sea­ son are common causes. Other, but less common causes, of brown spots are matting and thatching of grass, insects, fertili­ zer bum. dog damage, wear from traffic and play, soil problems, wrong kinds of grass, and diseases. Check soil moisture conditions first to determine causes of brown spots. Cut a square or triangular plug, two or three inches deep, from the brown spot and from a F.CP. 30" DeLuxe Electric Model RD-38-62 Speed-Heat surface unit.

Visiting MIST—Mrs. Albert Blount and Ruby spent last week at Amboy, Wn. where Mr. Blount is em­ ployed. Sunday evening they went to Trout Creek to get their boys who had spent the week at camp. Enroute home they called on Mrs. Verner Mae Blount in Venonia. Visitor at the L. Waddells Mon­ day was Mrs. Norman Combs of McMinnville. green area where grass is growing well. Compare moisture of the two plugs. A good time to make this test is just after watering lawn. Water must be applied slowly, not over one fourth inch per hour, to green up dry brown spots. Even then it isn’t easy. Frequently re­ peated applications are necessary. Matting and thatching is com­ mon with bentgrass and fescue lawns. This dead mat of grass at soil surface should be annually re­ moved, in spring or fall, by “scalp­ ing” with lawn mower or with a turf renovater. Sod webworms, larval stage of “lawn moths”, may cause brown areas in lawns. They tend to be blamed too much, however, for such spots. Either aldrin, chlor­ dane, heptachlor, dieldrin, or lin­ dane will be helpful in correcting this problem when it exists. Spots which appear a week or so after fertilizing may well be fertilizer burn. In time grass usu­ ally recovers satisfactorily from this burn. Annual bluegrass, which dies down in summer, will leave brown spots where it grew. Thin layers of soil over rocks, plaster, gravel, septic tanks, and drain tile can cause brown spots in summer from rapid drying- Consider disease a problem only after exhausting all other possibili­ ties. TO L IV E IN V E R N O N IA B uilding to H ouse M useum At present the small building on the Columbia Co. fairgrounds formerly used for first aid is be­ ing fitted for an historical museum, giving added space in the Grange cottage for hobbies. It is hopedo that both buildings will be well filled with exhibits. The rock and gem displays are especially urged in the cottage, and there will be room in the other building for more historical articles. Space was so limited before this year that only small articles could be shown, but now much more space should enlarge the display. All having such articles are asked to bring them to the fair on Tues­ day, August 21, where they will be judged on August 22, the day before the fair begins. Grandparents Share Visits of Children MIST—Mr. and Mrs. George Mathews and two grandchildren motored to Otis Junction Sunday where they met Mr. and Mrs. Bill Higgens who took the grandchil­ dren to their home for a visit. They are also the children’s grand­ parents. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Wilson of Portland were recent visitors at the Hugh Cox home. Emil Koski from Quincy was a Friday afternoon visitor with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hansen. Mr and Mrs Francis Nordstrom and Mrs August Birkenfeld of Hood River were last Tuesday vis­ itors with Mr and Mrs. Hugh Cox. Mr. and Mrs. Lawton Waddell were in Gearhart Sunday to visit the Ralph Waddells and at Sunset Beach where they called on Mrs. Bob Spencer.
