The long-time, popular manager is accepting a similar position with the Quincy-Columbia Basin Irri gation district with head quarters in Quincy, Wash. The new job will entail management of a 23,000 acre project (about three times the size of the local one) and House said "Besides the challenge it was a decided increase in pay that I couldn't afford to reject." • • • Air Force ROTC Cadet Wayne D.

Forest fires which started over the weekend got out of control in a high wind Sunday and wiped out the entire town of Bandon, with a loss in excess of a million and a half Bandon's entire popuoation of 1500 was homeless in the midst of smouldering wreck age Eighteen miles inland from the seaside town, flames burned structures on the outskirts of Coquille, Marsh field and North Bend, but are now under control. 50 YEARS AGO The proposed contract, after certain preliminary re citals defines "old lands" "new lands." and "sup plemental lands" of the Owyhee Project. Old lands are lands which have been receiving their water supply by pumping from the Snake River, but which will receive their water supply from the Owyhee Project after it is constructed, and which will use the project canal and reservoir systems. New lands, as the term indicates, will rely upon the project cxcusivcly for their water supply and irrigation system. Supplemental lands have their canal system construct ed at the present time, but will obtain stored water from the Owyhee Project. The construction charge of the old lands is to be $15 per acre less than the construction charge for the new lands. Your County Agent Says Selection of replacement heifers in the spring is pretty much of a guessing game. The time to do it most accurately is in the fall when that heifer calf still shows the effect of plenty or lack of milk. If she shows her mother was a good milker, chances are she will be also. But if she's weaned and mixed with all the other calves that spring, she loses her identity and shows her wintering ability not the milkability of her mother. So • if weaning weights are important to you ■ select your heifer re placements in the fall. Keep them separate and manage for a 1000 lbs. two-year-old heifer to calve. Of course, culling prior to breeding based on ability to gain on your feed is important. So select enough heifer calf replacements to allow a 10-20% cull out of yearling time. Extra work? Sure! but your reward can be a really top producing cow herd in a relatively short time • • • If you have trees that have been a problem, fall is the best time to kill those unwanted ones. Cut with a saw then treat the stump with 24 D ester and diesel oil, V> and '/». This will kill the entire root system and prevent sprouting. Girdling of the tree does the job also but spray the exposed area with the 24 D - diesel mix for faster and more perma nent results. If you have old roots that keep sending up shoots • dig down to the root, gash with an axe and pour in some of the 24 D • diesel mixture. It does the job.
