"This could. be from Joel tilt} Quiz Kid but t'is from some other infarr tile jeenus with figgers, one who lives up the Humptulips and has close acquaintance with Olympic Park," said Thoughtful Bill Haggar- iy, peering through his specs at one of two dozen letters 'l’d brought him. All were on his ideas. as I'd quoted him in “Out of the. Woods," on the comparative values of the park and of the Tillamook Burn in wartime. “This lad has figgered." the veteran fire warden went on. “that in normal times the average visitor to the park will see, only one out of every hundred thousand of the magnum old trees of the park's wilderness forests. “I've another letter stuck some- where in my desk,” Haggerty went on. “It’s from a. forester lad I brung up by hand and boot. who is now over loggin’ in some Pacific island jungle. He tells all the queer varieties of trees, and how dens-e they are and how swampy the land —and then he says it is nothin’ at I all for one like, himself, who has logged in the wet. wet wilderness of the Olympic Peninsula. He remem- bered one Olympic spot where the giant windfalls pyramided sixty feet high, and each stick sproutin’ hem— loéks. Any Pacific island jungle is a. playground compared to the likes of that." Now We’ve Got It . . . The radio came alive and Though- ful Bill who’d let the dispatcher off for a bit, attended to a routine re.— port from a. lookout. Then he went on elucidating: “This mathematical sprout of the Humptulips," he said, plucking up the boy’s letter again, “says he knows a lot of places in the Olympic wilderness and has heard of many more where a. man dropped into I them from a plane, would find him- self in a jungle prison cell at every turn and where rescue parties I would be helpless to get to him— because of the understories, the swamps, the windfalls, and the like. “Now, the main idea of the park, as constituted, is to preserve and keep that kind of a wilderness. No roads are to be made through it, and scant trails for hikers only~ not even for horses. “Figgel‘ how many will take such hikin’ trips—how few, I mean. Then, figger how many trees can actually be seen by such hikers, compared to all in the hundreds of thousands of acres of big-timber, jungle wil- derness. Then you can appreciate that the Humptulips lad is not so far off in his estimate that only one moss-plastered tree out of each hundred thousand in this wilderness neck of the Olympic park will be seen by the average visitor. "I’m speakin‘ without rancor or bias or argynlent," affirmed Though- ful Bill. “There’s no talkin’ against the park at this stage of the game. VVe’ve got it, and that’s settled Therefore, it’s no harm to anybod, to take a. full, frank look at what We. got—and also at. what we ain’t got." Nobody Has Got the Timber . . . “By what we ain’t got, I mean the timber, a. dozen billion board feet of splendid rotten old trees,” explained Thoughtful Bill. “Nobody has got the timber of the park,——the lum- bermen least of all-and now we realize the public—the tourists, et cetry, who will visit the park—won’t get hardly any of same, either. “I mean, they’ll get to,see, and what park poets call enjoy, one tree out of a. hundred thousand, more or less. All the trees but these few will be the same as though they did not exist, as far as sufferin’ and sinful humanity is concerned. A Hindoo could argy that therefore the said timber does not truly exist—and maybe he’d be right. How could he be proved wrong? You may say the wilderness treetops at least can be seen from high peaks, or from planes. Yes? When are you goin’ to climb a mountain or fly over in a plane to see for yourself? So long as you don’t, why those superb rot- ten old trees don’t exist for you except by hearsay. “Hundreds of thousands of acres with a. dozen billion feet of timber on it, and all could just as well as not be a hole in the ground,” con- cluded Thoughtful Bill. “That is for all the good it will 'ever be to the miserable human race. The which I say advisedly, acceptin’ as I do it will always be a. park." IGood Grass Silage Makes Ideal Feed lFro-m First Crop Says'Dr. Otto J. Hill Legumes, such as alfalfa or will be forced out of use, OPA ]. Good grass silage and good hay. have virtually the same feeding value but there are several rea— sons why it is dcsirable to make silage from the first cutting of hay fields, says Dr. Otto J. Hill, extension dairyman at the State College of \Nashington. l Weather is one reason favoring silage. Often it is too wet to make hay when fields should be cut and delaying the cutting means the crops continue to mature and lose much of their feed value. But silage can be made even in wet; weather when it is impossible to‘ make hay. I “Plants cut relatively, immature maintain much more protéii} and total iceuing‘ value than thO'Se al.- lowed to mature before cuttrfig,‘l“” Hill says. “And this year when we “ need to save all the feed possible we can not take acllance on los- ing some of it because of poor hay making weather.” Grasses for stock or trench si-: los should be cut when they are about two-thirds headed out. If the field has both early and late maturing grasses; it is not' advis- ] able to wait for the late maturing varieties to head cut. Dig In, But Not Too Deep In IVictory Garden; May Kill Plants clover, should be cut in the early bloom stage; alfalfa preferably at about 10 per cent bloom, and clover about 50 per cent bloom. High moisture content does not seem to be harmful with ":I‘stack or trench silo, but if the crop is put in an upright silo it's best to wilt it for a short time. Wilting for about three hours on a sunny day will cutlmoisture content to about 70 per cent, which is about right for an upright silo. As a rule grailssil e contains about two to four timesas much carotene as hay, and if the grass silage,is__made when the crop is immature, the protein content may be twice as gregit as that Of gyrnade ,when out too mature. Still another advantage for Sil- age is. by cuttingthe first crop earlier than it would normally be made into hay a better second gcutting is likely. Farmers interested in making silage may obtain two bulletins exylaining how to do it from the county agent. One is circular No. 57 “Grass Silage,” and the other “Staclch’cnch Silos." Both are available without cost.

One of the mis- takes commonly made by garden- ers is cultivating too deeply, ac- cording to County Agent Oker~ strom. Deep cultivation cuts off many crop plant roots, loosens the dirt around others and brings moist soil to the surface where it dries rapidly. Shallow cultivation, that cuts the weeds off. just beneath the soil surface“ is every bit as lefficient in killing weeds, injures Icrop plants less, and is much easier. . Weeds are controlled most eas- . ily while they are small. Fre- quent cultivation in the early part of the season and following rains or irrigation nips many weeds be- fore they can get a good start. ' Cultivating more often than is ab- solutely necessary to control weeds and keep the soil surface slightly loosened is of very little value. Knife-like blades that slide al- ong just under the soil surface and cut off the weeds are the best. type for most gardens.
