Canning Advice Stresses Slash In Use of Sugar Three more bulletins and circu lars dealing with home food pre servation and sugar conservation have ust been issued at Oreeon Stuto college, to be added to the growing number of aids for the homcmaker's kitchen "office." A newly printed bulletin en titled "Home Food Preservation" covering canning, drying nnd salting, Is by Lucy A. Case, ex tension nutritionist, nnd is pub lished as extension bulletin No. 596. With a previous bulletin on "Food Preservation by Freezing," it provides the latest Ruide on the current drive for maximum home food processing. JIow to save sugar when pre serving iruits by canning nnd freezing is covered from slightlv amerent angles In two recent publications. One, by E. H. Wlc- Rand and Gladys Hedlund of the tood Industries department, re cords the results of recent tests made with the use of dextrose, glucose, and honey, in addition to orainary cane or beet sugar. Advice On Using Dextrose is a pure simple sugar made from corn and obtainable under several trade names.. Glu cose, or corn syrup, was formerly mmnant on grocers shelves in lther the white or brown form, but both It and dextrose are less mindant for the time being De mise ot increased demand. Uccuuse of its heavy density, corn syrup Is best diluted when used for canning or freezing, the circular points out. The amount of honey usable In canned or frozen fruit Is limited because of the intense flnvor It imparts. 'ests indicated that It is best us ed in combination with other sugars.

KEN REYNOLDS, Now Owner Definite proof that the so-called decline disease of the cuth bert raspberry is caused by a vi rus has been obtained- through research work by S. M. Zeller, plant pathologist at the O. S. C. experiment station. This disease has proved one of the most haffl ling to the raspberry industry, as it will start from any part of a planting and work in circular fa shion until It destroys the pro ductivity of large areas. As with other virus diseases, there is no known cure for a plant once it is infected, the onlv effective control being the use of tracts uineusL-jieu punning RIOCK, ine prompt removal of diseased plants, and the ultimate develop ment ot resistant varieties. So fur the decline disease la np parenlly confined largely to ihe Cuthbert raspberry, although ihe susceptibility of other varieties will now be tested since a defin ite means of Inoculation by graft ing has been developed. Dr. Zel ler believes that this decline dis ease Is the same as a similar act ing trouble that has appeared Sn raspberry plantings in Hrltish Columbia In recent years. How Disease Appears The first Indication of the dis-' case in the spring is o retarded appearance of new succulent shoots, which show more of a reddish color than healthy canes. Other symptoms appear later in the season, Including some leaf I roll and shortening of canes. As diseased growtn readies tne trult ing stage, the fruits are entailer, irregular, and with riie berries developing a condition known as crumhllness.

Jackson IMPLEMENTS Phone 169 CHICAGO, July 6. (AP) Lowest prices since before Pearl harbor were paid wheat farmers today for what grain they were wining or forced to sell on the eve of new cycle In the nation's over-normal granary. With wheat for July delivery quoted near $1.15 on the Chicago board of trade, the price was the lowest since December 1 when $1,131 was paid for December con A year ago wheat was around $1.04 but in January this year It sold as high as $1.37. Tomorrow a new crop year will begin, and, if present prospects materialize, it will be the sixth consecutive season in which the' United States will produce more than it can use. ', This series of big crops, coupl ed with a world war that has cut off practically all the normal ex port market, has given the nation a carryover surplus of old wheat estimated nt about 630,000,000 bushels, exceeding any ever ac cumulated during bumper har vest periods before. With harvesters working their way north, having reached Kan sas, the largest wheat producing stale, nnd preparing for full scale operation soon In the fertile Ohio valley, farmers throughout the belt faced a problem of what to do with their new grain, One solution was offered by the government loan program, in operation the lust several years, and largely responsible for the U. S. farmer receiving a much belter price than do producers In other exporting nations like Can ada and Argentina. By sorting wheat collateral and receiving government loans farmers could obtain from 10 to X cents a bushel, or more In When the plants arc In flower, an acre of buckwheat may sup ply enough nectar for bees to make 100 to 150 pounds of honey, he says. Buckwheat blooms after clover is gone and before other flowers develop on which the bees may work. After the grain ripens, it may be used for turkey pasture. "Tur-kcyinft-. down"" -buckwheat- is a new and economical way of har vesting the grain, he points out.

Vegetable Canners Must File Maximum Prices WASHINGTON, July 6 (AP) Vegetable canners will have un til July 15 to file with the office of price administration reports showing their maximum prices on .15 different canned vegetables. Previously the canners had been instructed to file the reports by July 1. The canned vegetable price or der did not become effective un til May 25, OPA said In explain ing the deferment, and the task of compiling prices under the formula requires considerable time. Buckwheat Utilized As Source of Honey Automobile Racing in U. S, Placed Under Ban WASHINGTON. July 6 (AP) The office of defense transport ation has prohibited all automo bile racing in the United States, to conserve rubber tires. The order, effective July 10, applies to all motor vehicles racing meets, including "midget" cars ana motorcycles. Officials estimated that about 1,500 cars in scheduled meets would be affected. All automobile race programs held under official auspices of the American Automobile associ ation, including the Memorial day race at Indianapolis, were cancelled by the AAA last Feb ruary. However, ODT estimated that 1.000 mirgets and 500 large cars still were In racing service, operating nt meets not sanctioned by the AAA. Feed Costs Rise Foreseen in Farm Outlook Report The growing season has been generally favorable for hay and pastures, feed grain crops, and the oilseed crops from which high protein feeds are derived, yet the prospects are that feed will cost more and be less abund ant in Oregon during the 1942-43 feeding season, according to a report on the agricultural situat ion lust Issued by the OSC exten sion service. Oregon's hay crop of 1941 was considerably larger than average and the carry-over in May, 1941 was above average. Nearly all of -this hay has been consumed and the carry-over is much less then last year. These conditions In dicate a smaller supply of hay for the next feeding season although the number of hay consuming animals has Increased somewhat. Feed supply and price data for the country as a whole in dicate that the Increase in num bers of hay and grain consuming animals and poultry has resulted in marked reduction of reserve grain and hay supplies, says the report. The general propect Is that feed will cost more during the 1942-43 feeding season, as the supply of feed grain in relation to the number of animals to be fed is expected to be about 10 per cent less than last year and probably below the 1937-1941 aver age. The situation Is affected Dy the difficulty farmers are having to secure an adequate number of harvest hands even at farm wage rates substantially higher than a year go. that farmers begin Immediately to pay off their debts, mortgages and other obligations so as "to avoid the unnecessary hardships such as were experienced by farmers and others during and following the first world war." This presidential recommenda tion was made in a letter to Sec retary of Agriculture Wlckard, copies of which are to be sent to each of the million-odd borrowers from the agriculture department's farm credit administration. The letter endorsed efforts of the FCA to induce the farmers to use extra money from war crops to pay off farm mortgages and other debts. Louisiana Asks F. R. to Relax Sugar Rationing BATON ROUGE, La., July 6 (AP) Louisiana's legislature has sent to President Roosevelt an ap peal to relax consumer sugar rat ioning in the united States to make space in crowded ware houses for an expected bumper cane crop. A resolution adopted by both house and senate and addressed to the president, price adminls-' trator Leon Henderson and other war officials said some provision must be made quickly for storing one of the largest crops In the 100 year history of the Louisiana sugar Industry. "All or practically all ware house facilities are filled to cap acity," the legislature declared.

Nelson this week that plane, tank and ship objectives will be met, but that the outlook for the consumer "is very bad." The chief of the war produc tion board made those statements in reviewing the WPB'e work e- fore a house appropriations sub committee. I believe that we are over the hump," he said, "and from now on it becomes a question of get ting better distribution of raw material and seeing that produc tion is attuned to strategy." Nelson told the subcommittee that President Roosevelt's goal of 18,000,000 tons of shipping would be met, and added, "we can bent it, if we can get the steel plate." He said he was "certain we will meet the tank objective." The government currently is setting up facilities to meet the quota of 125,000 planes next year, he said, adding: "If we can believe our statis tics, we will have enough ma terial to do it. The problem is to get that material in and syn chronize it with production, so that we do not have lags; high inventories in places where they are not yet needed and shortages where the materials are needed." Consumer Outlook "Bad" Saying that "the outlook for the consumer is very bad," Nel son 6aid the nation would have enough food and clothing and would be "incomparably better off" than England or Germany. tie saw mat ureat untains ra tioning system permitted one suit of clothes a year, along with one or two shirts and one or two :its of underwear. "But you would have difficulty getting an overcoat, due to their method of rationing. We will not have to go anywhere nearly that far here," he predicted. But, he added, it may not be possible to have all the kinds of shoes a person might want; new homes can not be built, and there may be insufficient rubber for other than essential auto driving. nut "1 believe that by some me thod we will be able to take care of their needs in essential driv ing; by that I mean getting them to and from work." Post Mortem Reveals Hard Diet of Chicks COLERIDGE, Neb. When sev eral of his seven-week-old chicks died, Alva Hutchings decided to perform a post mortem examina tion. In one chicken he found three roofing nails, two pieces of lead, a thumb tack and a piece of wire. In another he discovered a rub ber tire from a top caterpillar tractor, and a third, some copper rivets. 1 .-.--i Huge Farm Yields Mighty Factor In U.S. War Set-Up The magnitude of the food pro-: ductlon job undertaken by Amer ican farmers, including those in Oregon, is not fully appreciated because it is not concentrated in one plant, but is rolling off an "assembly line" of six million farm units throughout the co untry, points out Robert B. Tay- -lor of Adams, chairman of the Oregon USDA war board. "Every time a cargo ship sailsas for Ireland with food for Amer-'' ican soldiers and their allies, it carries the average annual pro duction of 3800 American farms," loaded with products that might have come from Oregon farms cheese, canned and cured pork, lard, and canned and dried veg etables." To keep these vital supplies moving to wherever they are. needed all over the globe, farmers in this state and throughout the nation are mobilized behind pro duction goals that are so large they are difficult to grasp, the chairman added. Breaking down food-for-freedom production to an -hourly basis, he cited the follow ing figures: Every hour of every day, Am erica's farm plant produces 6,486,- 000 quarts of milk, 5,236,000 eggs, 134 carloads of hogs, 881 carloads of beef, 2,696,000 pounds of potf J 1, atocs, ana similar quamuies oi vegetables, oil crops, and other products. Besides food uses, farm crops are directly in the war too, Tay lor said. Cotton and alchol arc used to make smokeless powder. When a battleship fires a 16-inch gun, a bale of cotton and 18 bush- ells of wheat are hurled at the enemy. To paint the battleship required the oil from flaxseed produced on 169 acres. Salad oils are made In the United States from peanuts, . cot ton seed, corn and soybeans. The Glorious Fourth Will be when the war is over.
