I 5 1 o Food Crisis End Means Shorter Week for Farmer - By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Washington Correspondent , wAsmiNiiiuN, sept. or ganized labor has constantly fought for a good living wage in a shorter work week. One of the rnaln Ideas behind this constant drive Is to let the working man share the benefits of labor saving devices, industrial' progress and the general wealth of the nation But what about the farmer! Nobody has spent much energy trying to get a 40-hour week for mm, least of all the farmer him sen. , Well, the time will soon come lor him to start working a short er week. When the world food crisis is over, the American Far mer, if he is smart, will start taxing it easy. Z He should stay In bed longer In the morning. He should Knock off work at 4:30 or 5 in the after noon instead of waiting until the sun goes down. The chores can be regulated to a shorter working day. He should catch up on some of the current books. He should make more trips to the dentist and doctor. He should take a correspondence course. He should spend more time with his family and get to know his children. He should start getting a little more enjoyment out of life. This is all implied In a Depart ment of Agriculture report called "Changes In Farming in War and Peace," written by Sherman c, junnson. Machinery Supplies Answer During the war the American larm oecame mechanized. Dr. Johnson reports. This was the main reason U. S. agricultural output soared to unbelievable records In spite of the critical manpower shortage. In the twenties there were about 250.. 000 tractors in use on farms. This number increased during peace very gradually but the impetus Of the war suddenly raised it to more than 2,000,000 by 1945. On top of that the Increased use of lertllizer and the use of Improv ed crop varlties during the war Hauea up to a "revolution la lamiing. Here is the nuh of thA nrnhlnm- The experts have estimated all future markets for U. S. farm products. Generally speaking, they say, wilh this new mechan ization, present number of far. mers, and the present acreage, a farmer can work a shorter week, fjruuuce an me tooa ne can sell and still make a decent livina But here's the situation they fear unu wnai is imeiy to happen: Land Values Soar Farmer Brown has accumu lated some savings during the war. Since V-J Day his son has come back and helps with the Work and the hired man who went off to a war plant is back. Brown now finds he has a little Spare time on his hands.

Price Q EARL WILEY " REALTOR a a first thine he thinks nf la thnf 20 acres of land across the road mat a man named Jones owns. Brown makes Jones an offer for it. But Jones has had t wn nt hot- Offers for it earlier from farri ers who were Just like Brown. This bidding for the land nat urally makes the price go up. Brown finally buvs. but he nnlrl a lot more for the 20 acres than they would normally be worth, termer Brown hue mmtinifvaH his gains. Then he's back in the same work rut as before. He's trying to net a nrofit from land that cost him too much In the first place. He's got to work harder than ever to make It pay. For a while he mleht make more gross income. But all the farm ers In the area have done the same thing. Soon they can't sell all they grow. Brown's savlnes are gone and he's saddle with a lot more responsibility. More Headaches Loom If he would have been content with the farm he had In the first place at least he would have his savings left. He could have pent part of lit for washing ma nines and annliances to make nis wile's work easier. Or he could have spent it for equip ment tO make, his own chores easier. This situation multlnlied In every farm community all over the country adds up to a future or more work and more head, aches for the farmer. That's the outlook based on the best information at hand. If the export market should boom, and ii me u. a. would begin eating a lot more food and Inriustrv would find new uses for farm products the farmer could easily expand and further mechanize atter a proven Increased demand exists. There would be a real In centive for it then. But, in the meantime, Farmer Brown, plan iu mite ii easy.

Prefabricated Homes for Vets Still Year Away By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. (NEA) It's going to take a year before you see any of these new fangled pre-fabricaled houses actually be ing built for veterans To date the so-called "new era In low cost homes" has mostly been an era of photography. There hve been pictures widely shown of round nouses, aluminum houses, steel houses, glass houses and what have you. Each one, its designers claimed, was the ans wer to the nation's housing snunage. Well, the Government in its ponderous way has been busv analyzing the claims of these de signers, tne results of many lesis ana studies are errauua v eliminating the screwball from the practical. The surprising thing is that many of the designs consiuerea most radical and screwball at first glance are prov ing under test to be most practical. The Government isn't savin? yet Just what comnanles and de signers hav the best chance of winning "Guaranteed Market" contracts. These contracts pledge the Government to buy any houses which it annroves for large-scale construction and which the manufacturer Is un able to sell. But there are several firms whose prefabricated houses are withstanding the tests better tnan the rest. Announcement of the winners of these contracts is expected to be made in several months. It is expected to be next summer before the successful companies can begin putting pre- iuos on me marnei. These prefabricated, or indue. trial hbuses, constitute about 40 per cent of 1,500,000-house goal of the Government's Veterans' Emergency Housing Program for next year. In other words, close to half of the houses you will see going up next summer under this program will resemble some or tne pictures you have been seeing. Metals More Expensive ine Fuller House the round one hung on a mast and made of aluminum has proved to be one oi tne big surprises to the Gov ernment experts. It was consider ed the most radical idea at first Laboratory tests are showing the real common-sense oi Its design, however, and its Draetiealltv On the other hand, the idea nf' nouses made with metal panels was at first considered to have most possibilities. This idea is turning up with many bues. none of which are said to be Insur mountable, however. One of the trouiJies discovered with metal no an Interior and exterior surface is that it tends to "sweat" on the inside during cold weather. Con densation forms on the walls in the house from moisture in the ir contacting the cooler metal 'here are known wavs of eettln? around this trouble. But it makes metal panels more expensive. One of tiie most important aspects of the whole emergency program is the benefits the nnhlle win reap irom it live to ten years later probably the only good wuicn win come out or tne pres ent housing shortage. The Gov- ernment is putting the building muuaiiy uiieau auuui years. It is trying to take the important enurs out oi preiaoncatea and industrial nouses before the vet- eran moves in. Perfection Still Years Off lhe prefabricated houses the veterans win Degln to occupy next summer will be far from perfect. out mey win De many times better than if the Government hadn't taken a hand in the busi ness, and will serve their purpose. The persons who will really benefit are those who cn n KUnn t out their present living quarters iui nve or six more vears. The houses they should find on the market, then, will have the bugs removed and really be something. in spite of all the progress. owever. the exnerts still u hat wood and brick will enntlniiA as the basic building materials of the future. They say the in creased use of metal for walls in supplement them but not ike their place in the fnreseo. able future. One of the most intereetino materials to housing engineers has been the recent devel of lightweight concrete. Instead of using sand and gravel mixed with cement, pulverized volcanic rocK, cotton nulls, wood chips and plastic materials have been found to De just as strong and lighter. The weight in handling concrete construction has been one of Its awoacKS. The exnerts nrerllet h that the house of the future won't one tnat is made at the fac tory and shipped to the lot by truck. They say It will be made lightweight, relatively chean materials.- durable, etftremelv comfortable and built for the in dividual taste of the owner.

What would be the effect within the Democratic party and particularly on Its chances November's elections and 1918? A frequently expressed Rennh. lican view was that the dispute emphasized the differences with in the Democratic party and enhanced Republican prospects of winning control oi tne next con. gress. Some Democrats contended their party's ranks had now been cioseo and its chances Improved. iiu-rwu vital Factor One Democratic senator, talk. ing with the understanding that ma iiuine wouia not ne reported, said he thought it was largely a matter of what the CIO Political Action committer fines. He said that no votes were go tn . i . , . .. . . in m ue cimngea Dy tne lorelgn policy row. But if the CIO-PAC get out its votes, he declared, then the Democratic party may lose some congressional districts where CIO help is required to makes only indifferent efforts to put over its candidates.

How to Prevent Canned Tomato Spoilage Is Told Purveys show that homemakers lose more canned tomatoes and corn from spoilage, than any other foods. One reason for the spoilage of canned tomatoes is failure to remove all of the green ish white core, says Wanda Thore son. This hard core requires a much longer time to sterilize than the flesh of the tomato, and often causes the whole can of tomatoes to spoil, if it is not all removed. A good way to be sure that all of the core is removed, is to cut the tomato into quarters, after peeling It, and cut the core out of each quarter. In similar way to coring apples. Some homemakers prefer to matoes placed cold into the Jars and processing of jars 45 minutes in boiling water bath. However. the packing of tomatoes hot is winning favor. By this method, the quartered and cored tomatoes are brought to a boil, then packed boiling hot into" jars to i inch from the top of Jar, and the jars are boiled only ten minutes. The second method saves time in the end. The jars are also fuller and there is less danger of spoiling. A circular, HE 1819, "Preven tion of Spoilage and Accidents in Home Preservation." is available. free of charge, from your home demonstration agent s omce. Vet Given Right To Choose Doctor For Treatment PORTLAND, Ore. Oregon Physicians' Service has geared its statewide organization of more than 900 doctors for full-scale medical care to Oregon war vet erans under a contract with the Veterans' Administration for home town service. The program has been set up to provide the most complete and convenient facilities possible for the state's approximately 225,000 veterans or an wars and give them their individual choice of doctors, said Willard Marshall, general manager of OPS. Ninety five per cent of all physicians. surgeons and consulting special ists in the state are on the OPS staff. Here s how the program works: The veteran applies to the Vet erans' Administration for tin examination to establish a dis ability or determine the present status of a disability previously established. Once this has been done, the veteran then gains the fullest benefit of the program by speci fying the doctor of his choice for treatment. The doctor may be specified by the veteran direct to the Veterans' Administration or through his doctor. OPS estimated that about 19, 000 veterans in Oregon already have established service-connected disabilities and are eligible for out-patient treatment through their own OPS doctors in com munities throughout the state. Up to August 1, the Veterans' Ad ministration had authorized for action by OPS doctors a total of 1,235 cases. In the early stages OPS doc tors treated veterans whose nen. sion claims had been adjudicated ov examinations conducted at Veterans Administration facili ties. Each veteran receives at least two examinations a tenernl physical arid one or more special examinations to determine the nature of his disability ana whether or not It Is service-connected.
