total tonnage and per capita
Oregon farmers are already re
sponding to the call of the gov
ernment to Increase the produc
tion of certain foods needed in
the defense program, according
tq a progress report submitted to
tne secretary .of agriculture by
the newly-created U, S. D. A. de
fense, board. This report, com
plied by the extension service at
the request of Robert B. Taylor,
cnairman ot tne state AAA com
mittee and chairman of the new
board, shows Increases in pro
duction ot nearly all the defense
foods, Including , dairy, 'poultry
and pork products and certain
canning vegetables.
Total milk production in Ore
gon is up 8 per cent so far this
year, though Increased consump
tion of fluid milk has kept the
oufput of manufactured dairy
products down somewhat. Cheese
production, particularly urged by
the government, is up sharply,
nui paruy at tne expense ot but
ter and condensed milk output.
The present price ratio be
tween dairy feeds and butterfat
is favorable to liberal grain feed
ing in most areas of the state, the
report shows. A new extension
bulletin will be available soon on
feeding and managemenl bv the
dairy Industry In relation to the
food for defense program.
Increased acreages of canning
tomatoes and corn are noted in
the report and marked progress
is reported in the production of
green peas and green beans for
processing. Oregon's total acre
age of commercial truck croiis
for processing is given at 39,710
acres In 19-11, compared with 35,
470 acres In 1910.
Oregon will have from 5 to 10
per cent more laying hens this
fall than . last. With emphasis
placed on better methods of feed
ing, management and housing,
poultrymen of this state are ap
parently well on their way to
supplying their share of the
needed increase In egg produc
tion, The principal problems list
ed are scarcity and high cost of
certain feed concentrates and the
shortage of good farm labor.
Increased pork production is
hampered by higher cost of feed
grains. A wheat feeding program
sponsored by the experiment sta
tlon and extension service lias re
sulted in considerable progress
in this respect, particularly In
areas where pasture is also avail
able.
