The Mountain units of the Uadora County Parm Bureau held a 

 I/air at Ahwahnee on October 6,7. The weather was not favorable 

 for a large attendance , but the exhibits of fruits, vegetables 

 grains, etc., were many and fine. The Service exhibit was dis- 

 played here also, and in addition souvenir specimens of Bi^ Tree 

 wood about the sle of a post card were given ou * These were 

 nacle fron redwood taken from a fallen monarch in the Presno 

 (Helder) Grove, within the Sierra . Forest. Supervisor Benedict 

 District ITorester Redington , Deputy Supervisor Jordan and Rob- 

 ert ELoppenburg, Ui .Benedict's brother-in-law, came over from

 appreciated, and it was certainly nice to have IIr.Redinton with 

 us a^ain. 



We have been <iulte busy the last two weeks trying to clean 

 up the free-use slash and the timber sale brush. Conditions 

 were favorable for this work until the last few days when It 

 burned too well and work was stopped. 



The Prod li. Clark sale hao suspended operation for the winter.

 proving however and able to discard the crutches.

Sugar Pine District 



A new trail down Korthf ork Mountain on which work was be- 

 gm\ August 25, was completed September 22, there being a frac- 

 tion over a^mile of new trail built. TThlle the trail is not 

 all on a 10>j grade, it is a big Improvement over the old trail. 



An experiment Is being trleA out in this District this 

 year with pasture fences In the higher altitude. Posts havo 

 been solidly planted el^ht feet apart, and stays put in be- 

 tween the posts. Ue hope such a fence will withstand the weight 

 of winter snows, and we will avoid the necessity of taking down 

 and putting up our back-ooxmtry pasture fences every year.
