Model T tractor part of a larger story Worlow Wizard of Lynden origins will be included in planned book
Various experts of WSU will speak
By Calvin Bratt editor@lyndentribune.com
WHATCOM — The story of his restored Worlow Wizard tractor has been told locally. Now Paul Van Dyke may see it chronicled in a book with a national view. Writer Glenn Heim of Chicago recently came out to the Pacific Northwest and interviewed Van Dyke about the tractor that was manufactured in Lynden by his father, Henry, and partner C.J. (Chris) Van Andel circa 1930. “They made about 30 of them and sold them to local farmers,” Van Dyke said, retelling the history. It was getting to be Great Depression time and farmers felt they weren’t able to afford tractors made at standard factories — they would stick with horses. “One hundred fifty dollars was even too much,” Van Dyke said of the price charged for the Worlow Wizard tractor. The name came from a Harry Worlow of the Whatcom area who had done the design of the tractor conversion, but died before he himself was able to carry it out, said Van Dyke, 85.
Feb. 13 workshop is on soil quality

(Courtesy photo/Laura Scalzo) This specimen that was restored a few years ago by Van Dyke and Jack Young had been found in very poor condition in 1996 on heavily wooded land of the Vinup family on the east side of town. Separately, he has a copy of the brochure that was used to sell the tractors of Van’s Machine and Sheet Metal Works from a building on the site of today’s Maple Leaf Auto Body Shop, corner of Main and Third streets. “Near Milwau-
kee Depot,” says the brochure. The brochure lists George Vinup as one of 14 “satisfied users” of the Worlow Wizard, indicating the likely link to the one restored. But the idea of converting the many Ford cars in circulation in the 1920s into functioning tractors wasn’t just a Lynden notion, it turns out. “Hundreds of them” were made across the United States, Van Dyke said. And that’s what Heim’s book is about. Hiem couldn’t
WSU offers funding for community gardens WHATCOM — It’s the right time of year to think about a garden ... and to apply for a local community garden grant though the WSU Extension Community First Garden Project. This program provides funding, technical support and education to new and established community gardens in Whatcom County, in the process fostering cooperative, community-building relationships. Funding to date has paid for a total of 152 raised beds, two hoop houses, fencing, soil amendments, vegetable starts, seeds, tools and more. Applications are accepted from community-based groups (churches, clubs, neighborhood associations). The key is they must demonstrate a need for the community garden in their area. WSU Extension can help applicants assess those needs. Applicants must form a leadership committee, show a willingness to work with Community First Garden and provide a match in the form of volunteer hours or other donations. A full list of these elements is on the website under Guidelines for proposals at http:// whatcom.wsu.edu/ch/assistance.
be reached for an interview. Actually, another local conversion of a Model T car into a tractor is viewable in the Lynden Pioneer Museum, but it isn’t a Worlow Wizard, Van Dyke said. Van Dyke’s daughter-inlaw, Laura Scalzo, took a photo of Paul on the restored tractor on the Ferndale-area farm where the work was done. It is printed above and has been submitted to be included in the Heim book.
Ecology finds violations by four local operations
html. “We work with groups that demonstrate a commitment to helping themselves and others to become more self-reliant and cooperative,” said Beth Chisholm, coordinator. Participation also creates opportunities for gardeners to learn and network. Whatcom County CFG recipients of the past include: Ferndale Friendship Garden, Everson Community Garden, Maple Falls, Meridian Middle School and the East County Resource Center. Master Gardeners may also be provided as advisors to a community garden. WSU Whatcom County Extension also offers free educational seminars at individual garden sites. Topics include successive planting/harvesting, how to extend the growing season, using fertilizer, rain barrels, seed saving and composting.
OLYMPIA — Four Whatcom County operations received penalties totaling $6,200 from the Washington Department of Ecology in the third quarter of 2013 for violations of state and federal laws: • Americold Logistics LLC of Lynden was fined $2,000 for cleaning out a fish holding truck and discharging approximately 100 gallons of soapy water into Fishtrap Creek through a storm drain. • George Sandhu of Ferndale was fined $2,000 for planting and irrigating blueberries on his 118 acres without a water right to irrigate most of the property. • Trident Seafood of Bellingham was fined $1,200 for spilling 220 gallons of potassium hydroxide from a tote when a valve was left open. The chemical went into a containment area, but the drain plug was not
in place. So potassium hydroxide spilled to the stormwater system and eventually into Bellingham Bay. • Superior Energy Services LLC of Bellingham was fined $1,000 for releasing one pint of hydraulic oil on Feb. 12 and 30 gallons of hydraulic oil on March 2 into Bellingham Bay while servicing and testing the barge Arctic Challenger. Statewide, 23 persons or companies were hit with penalties totaling $283,166. A table describing the violations and resulting penalties is available at http://www.ecy. wa.gov/news/2013/310. html. The money owed from penalties may be reduced by a ruling of the Pollution Control Hearings Board or a negotiated settlement. The final penalty amount owed and collected is deposited in special accounts that pay for environmental restoration and enhancement projects, research and development, permitting and regulatory programs, and education and assistance.

She is measuring impacts on soil quality, crop yield and crop quality.
MOUNT VERNON — Participants will dig into quality, hands-on learning at a “Practical Soil Health for Farmers” workshop from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at Washington State University’s Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center, 16650 State Route 536 in Skagit County. “We designed this workshop to provide practical information about soil health for farmers in northwestern Washington and to provide an opportunity to network and share ideas and solutions,” said organizer Caitlin Price Youngquist, graduate student in the WSU Mount Vernon plant breeding program. Presentations and panel discussions will address field assessment of soil quality, cover crops, compost and plant resistance to disease — all important factors for building and maintaining healthy, productive and profitable soils. Registration for the allday workshop costs $30, including lunch. Register and find details at http://smallfarms.oregonstate.edu/soilquality-network/workshops. The workshop is part of the Soil Quality Network, a three-year project funded by the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Professional Development Program. Goals are to create a database, develop a website and train agricultural professionals in soil quality assessment, education program development and strategies to support farmers. Workshop presenters, all WSU faculty members, will include: • David Granatstein, sustainable agriculture specialist

Benchmark milk price at high levels Enjoying birds can be part of winter garden life
By Lee Mielke lkmielke@juno.com
average cheese price used in calculating this month’s FO prices was $1.8761 per pound, up 1.5 cents from November. Butter averaged $1.6308, up 11 cents, nonfat dry milk $1.9537, up 6.5 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.06 cents, down 1.3 cents. Cheese production was expected to increase Christmas week as surplus holiday milk became available, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Retail sales continued to be good, with specials
for football bowl and playoff viewers. Cash cheese prices diverged in the shortened New Year’s holiday week, but the barrels rallied some on Friday. The blocks closed at $2.0425 per pound, up 4 1/4 cents on the week, 28 1/4 cents above a year ago, and the highest level since Nov. 6, 2012. The barrels plunged 12 cents Monday and Tuesday, but regained 7 cents on Friday to close at $1.92. Only two train cars of barrel traded hands on the week. The AMS-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.9133, up 2.4 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.8990, up 6.3 cents. Cash butter, after dipping to $1.5225 on Monday, rallied New Year’s Eve, Thursday and Friday and closed at $1.57. Eleven cars traded hands on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.5804, down 6.5 cents. The butter market was reported “firm behind good sales and lighter supplies throughout the regions,” according to DMN. Export inter-
est was good with more opportunities available as 2013 came to a close, but inventories are being replenished in most butter plants across the regions. Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $2.0675, down 4 1/4 cents on the week, while Extra Grade held at $2.09, where it’s been since Dec. 17. AMS powder averaged $1.9785, up 1.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.16 cents, down 0.4 cent. Dan McBride of the Northwest Dairy Association made these price projections for the Class III price and Pacific Northwest blend price: Month Class PNW III Blend Dec. $18.95 $20.40 (current) Jan. $20.60 $21.60 Feb. $20.45 $21.20 March $19.35 $20.60 April $18.80 $20.20 May $18.50 $19.90 June $18.40 $19.20 July $18.20 $18.70 Nov. $18.05 $18.40
BARNYARD KIDS Leader: Joanne Odens Reporter: Luke Wolfisberg Barnyard Kids 4-H Club held its monthly meeting on Jan. 9, 2014 at the Baremans’ home. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. and proceeded with the roll call. The question was “what is your favorite color?” The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Libby Kroontje, followed by the 4-H Pledge led by Rafe Wolfisberg. Our secretary, Katelyn Oostra, report-
ed the minutes from last meeting. There was no treasurer’s report, so we moved on to project reports by Sarah Lagerway, Jacob Tolsma and Jenna Dickinson. Activity reports were given on the swag installation at Fairway, the Christmas party at the Kroontjes and the swag removal by Juli Dickinson, Luke Wolfisberg and Caleb Bareman, respectively. There was no old business to discuss. In new business, we talked
about demonstrations, Quiz Bowl, the Springtime Youth Calf Sale and the Evergreen Junior Dairy Show. Demonstrations will be held on Feb. 10 at Laurel Baptist Church, Feb. 15 at the Lynden Senior Center and Feb. 20 at First Christian Church of Bellingham. Quiz Bowl started up with an informational meeting on Jan. 6 at the Lynden Library. The next meeting will be on Jan. 21 at the Odens’ home. The Springtime Youth Calf Sale will be on Satur-
day, March 15, at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe. The Evergreen Junior Dairy Show will be held April 25-26, with applications due on March 3. Karibeth Engelsma did a presentation about her Quiz Bowl trip to Louisville in November. Our leader, Joanne Odens, gave a talk on the main breeds of dairy cattle with informational sheets on this topic. The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.

Here in the Pacific Northwest we never really experience the “dead of winter.” Unlike in large swaths of the country, our lawns never turn completely brown and evergreen shrubs and trees keep our yards somewhat colorful. But as we go through the more barren months, you may be wishing for more life outdoors. Caring for wild birds is a great complement to gardening. Especially during the winter months, birds like chickadees, finches and juncos can benefit from a little extra sustenance — and they’ll provide great entertainment in return. Whether you have young children or are empty nesters (pardon the pun), watching birds build nests in birdhouses or vie for a spot at a feeder is simply fun. If birding is a new hobby for you, start with the basics. A feeder that dispenses black oil sunflower seed will attract the most variety of birds. Tube feeders protect seed from the elements, but can limit the number of birds able to feed at one time. If you plan to hang your feeder in a somewhat protected space — such as under the eaves of a shed or your house — a platform or wire mesh feeder will offer the most opportunity for birds to eat. Additionally, you may find these feeders easier to clean. While black oil sunflower seed is a great all-purpose option, you may wish to feed only some of the smaller songbirds. Niger (or nyjer) seed is the food of choice for chickadees, purple finches and, of course, the goldfinch, our state bird. While these birds will often eat sunflower seed, you’ll attract larger numbers with niger or a blend thereof. At Vander Giessen, one of the popular seed mixes we sell is the Finch Friends blend, which attracts the birds just mentioned as well as nuthatches and wrens. Until recently, the only major nuisance critters to feed at bird feeders in our area were other non-desirable birds like starlings. In the last few years, however, squirrels have become a nui-
sance to bird-lovers, eating bird seed, chasing away birds and at times even destroying feeders. To prevent squirrels from ruining the fun, there are a couple of worthwhile options to consider. One option is to occasionally fill your feeders with a spicy, Cajunflavored seed mix like Coles “Hot Meats” or “Blazing Hot Blend.” The hot, spicy flavor won’t deter birds, but squirrels will quickly give up on trying to eat it. Another option is a squirrel-proof feeder — your best bet is a feeder enclosed in a metal cage that birds can get through but squirrels never will. Now, if you feed birds, consider the added fun that a birdhouse or two will bring to your backyard. Put a birdhouse within view of a window or your back patio; you’ll love watching birds building their nests each year and be entertained by baby birds tumbling out of their home for the first time each spring. Choose a house designed specifically for the type of bird you wish to attract. Birds will only move into a house if the entry hole is the right size. When shopping for a birdhouse, check to see that it can be easily cleaned. Like us, birds don’t like to move into a house full of someone else’s junk, so empty out your birdhouses once a year to keep your feathered friends happy. In the bleak months of winter, enjoy the added life that birds can bring to your garden. With their varied colors, shapes and sizes, they’ll add interest to an otherwise drab view out your window — and come spring, they’ll serenade you as you get back in the garden.
