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.
She couldn't locate another
setter, so she took a rubber wa
ter bottle, Judged the tempera
lure to what she considered
about right, and placed It over
the eggs.
A dozen healthy chicks arc
peeping around the Abell yard
today.

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. Present
rates of lay and the Increase In
numbers of hens In flocks on
Oregon farms- Indicate that the
goal for a 13 per cent increase in
egg production will be met.

may be secured from any seed

loose bran form or In a pellet

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

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

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

Potato Worm Survey To
Be Conducted in Oregon
SALEM, May 7. (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. Everything
points to less food being available
