AT
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 25. More
wheat, more sugar and more pork
must be saved. This is the edict of
the U. S. food administration, and
the new "home card," which will be
sent out from Washington within the
next few days will outline a new
schedule, with further restrictions on
the use of these three staples. The
new card is to replace, in some 13,-
000,000 kitchens of the United
States, the original "home card
which was given out when 13,000,000
housewives signed the-rood adminis
tration's conservation pledge about
two months ago.
W. B. Ayer, federal food adminis
trator for Oregon, announces that
these new "home cards" will be
ready for distribution in this state
next month, and that simultaneously
with the adoption of the new sched
ule of wheatless and porkless days in
the home, the new restrictions will
apply to all hotels, restaurants, cafe
terias and boarding houses.
OF INTEREST TO PRUNE
Of Interest to the prune grower
whose trees have been letting up in
both growth and yield the experience
of H. T. Westfall, of Yoncalla, with
cover crops is interesting. He states
that he has sown vetch and oats, for
four seasons with added results each
year. The first year the effect was
not so apparent but since then soil
has changed color considerably as the
humus content has increased.
The soil does not puddle and wash
in the winter, spring work is easier
and its moisture retaining properties
during the summer are much im
proved. As the nitrogen supply ac
cumulates from plowing under the
legume the trees noticably Improve
in thrift andi yield, Mr. Westfall
states that during the extreme
drought" of last summer the foliage
on his cover-cropped ; orchard was
much greener than on others not so
handled.
