Hot Water Bottle Subs When Mother Hen Dies LEONAP.DTOWN, Md. Miss Veronica Abell didn't have much time to act when she discovered a setting hen dead, and the nest of eggs near the hatching stage.

Oregon Can Play Big Part in Food Drying Campaign Oregon's food-drying facilities, which exceed In volume those of any other state, can be made quickly available to further the nation's war effort in a gigantic food-drying program if national officials will cooperate by indl eating the type and volume of foods needed and prices to bo ex pected, according to a compre hensive report submitted to Washington by William A. Scho- cnfeld, dean and director of agri culture at Oregon State college. The report shows that when the last detailed survey was made by the state department of agri culture In 1938, Oregon hud 281 food driers of various types, cap able of handling 100,000 bushels of fresh produce per day. The government is already en couraging the dehydration of many types of vegetables and Is seeking a large volume of dried foods for shipment all over the world. Without sacrifice of food values, dried foods are light in weight, of small volume, need no refrigeration, and keep long peri ods, according to the college men. liven at present production lev els, Oregon has about IS million tons of fruits and 13 million tons of vegetables per year suitable for dehydration, the report points out. Oregon's wldo diversity of crops, furthermore, would make year-round drying program pos sible, with small fruits, cherries, and certain kinds of vegetables to bo dried in the summer, with apples, pears, potatoes, cabbage, and root crops to be dried the re mainder of the year. American Eagle 'Escorts' Oregon Food Across Sea America's allies are looking to this nation for food as well as guns, tanks and planes, and pro ducts from Oregon farms are aid ing In the battle against aggres sion all over the globe, the state UbUA war board reports. The American eagle symbol re cently adopted as the U. S. "trade mark" Is flying over lend-lease shipments of Oregon cheese, dried and condensed milk, and eggs to feed the fighting forces of the United Nations. Because dairy and poultry products are this states most important con tributions to lend-lease needs, the state war board asks farmers to make every effort to meet pro duction goals established for these commodities. Oregon's share of the 1942 na tional dairy production goal has been set at 1,590,000,000 a bil lion and a half pounds of milk. Meeting this goal will require an I per cent Increase over last year's production. In tho farm defense plun canvass last fall, Oregon farmers indicated that this goal could be attained. Milk Output Lagging Although there are 3 per cent more milk cows on Oregon farms this year, a war board . survey shows that milk production so far this year is lagging consider ably short of the goal. Poor early pasture conditions arc seen as mainly responsible for tho lag in production. To overcome this. farmers are advised to feed heavier and give their cows bet ter care. In most areas, prices are favorable to heavier feeding, the war board points out. The O. 3. C. extension service has issued four new brief bulletins to aid dairy farmers with their produc tion problems. ino governments policy on purchasing dairy products has not changed, the war board reports. Since January 1, the ag ricultural marketing administra tion has been buying an average of one million cases of condensed milk, nine million pounds of cheese and five million pounds of dry skim milk every week. AMA has stepped up Its egg purchases recently to prevent heavy spring production from causing price slumps.

As little as 4 pounds of pellets per acre or ten pounds of loose bran bait per acre has giv en good control. The bait should be broadcast very thinly over the garden and along the edges a few days before any garden plants are set out or before seedlings be gin to come through the ground.

ROSEBURG DAIRY 330 OAK PHONE 186 Gardeners Must Battle Cutworms, Beetles and Slugs One of the first battles "Vic tory Gardeners" will have this spring or early summer will be with Insect pests. Cutworms, twelve-spotted beetles, and grey garden slugs arc among the most common insect enemies In every vegetable garden and frequently the most destructive. The cutworm lives over (he winter usually us a caterpillar, and is right on the ground ready to eat tlie first young plnnts that come up. It usually feeds at night and hides in the day time. If the first young planls, as cab bage, set In the garden are found lo be cut off Just above the ground, cutworms nre likely the saboteurs. The best way to get rid of cutworms Is by broadcast ing a poisoned bait a few davs before any plants are set out. The following formula makes enough K)lsoned bait for a city garden or one-third of an acre: coarse wheat bran, 5 pounds; while ar senic or Paris Given. 3 ounces; water, 'J to 3 quarts, to make u crumbly mash. Halt recommend ed for earwigs Is also effective. Beetle Costly Pest The lL'spolted beetle lives ov er the winter In tho adult stake and comes out of hibernation with a ravenous appetite, looking lor something green lo cat. It is a general feeder and will mark most garden plants. The beetles will collect in numbers, begin ning their feeding when the young planls first appear above the ground, and otlen kill out whole plantings before (he gard ener Is u ware of their presence.

(AP) Tho federal bureau of entomolocv and plant quarantine has chosen Ore gon as one of the few states in which It will conduct a potato tuber worm survey to make studies which may be the basis for revisions of potato tuber moth quarantines in states where such quarantines exist, the slate de partment of agriculture said to day. The Oregon survey, In which Oregon Stute college and the slate department of agriculture will take part, will be made in Klamath, Meinour, Deschutes and Baker counties, the Hermiston area and the Willamette valley. The department said it believes there is no tuber "moth In the state. In charge of the Oregon survey will be Dr. J. C. Chambcrlin of the federal bureau's field labora tory at Forest Grove. Grow Spice Herbs, Gardeners Urged Oregon victory gardeners may have an opportunity this year to supplement the dwindling supply of spices from abroad by growing an herb garden, points out J. Ro land Parker, county agricultural agent. Most of America's spices came from the far east. With sup plies from there cut off, there is likely to be considerable need be fore the year is over for home grown materials to take their place. Most seed stores serving Ore gon list from seven to as high as 25 different kinds of herbs and seasoning materials which may be grown In most parts of the state, points out Mr. Parker. Among these are parsley, summer sa vory, basil, sweet marjoram, dill, nasturtium, annis, sage, mint, thyme, chives, tarragon and gar lic. Many of the green leafy herbs, sucn as parsley, are high in es sential vitamins and minerals in addition to their flavoring value. Parsley is a good source of vita min A when used in large quan tities in seasoning. Many of these herbs can also be dried and stored for winter use. Still Time to Set Out Farm Victory Garden Those who haven't yet started a farm victory garden, for any reason, still have plenty of time for growing the principal summer ana tall crops, according to J. Ro land Parker, county agricultural agent. At least 16 plantings of vegetables are listed for after May 1 In Oregon Extension Bul letin No. 587, "The Farm and Home Vegetable Garden." Once again Mr. Parker Is call ing attention to the importance of planting gardens this year, botn for the value to the indivi dual family and as a part of the national war effort.
