Oregon At Top Of States For
Payouts On Farm Loans Over
Decade Beginning In 1938
Oregon standi number one
farm ownership loans made by
during a 10-year period starting In 1938, Walter A. Duffy, Portland,
state director, announced recently.
Of 507 farm ownership loans made during the 10-year period
endng In 1948, 259 families or 49 percent have paid out their real
estate loans In full, 30 years ahead of schedule, the state director
declares.
For the period July 1, 1948,
through February, 1949, about 43
percent of the $858,000 loaned in
Oregon by the FHA went to vet
erans to purchase or equip farms.

Whot Holds Feed Up?
Like a prize fighter who Is
out on his feet, the price of
wheat still stands high. And it
keeps everything else high. Saw
a cartoon the other day. Did you
tee It? Shows umpteen big fat
politicians holding up a woozy
guy (which was the price of
wheat).
The newest gag of the politi
cians In supporting wheat prices
is to loan money to wheat grow
ers who have no granaries, and
among the states for payouts of
the Farmers Home administration
gon farmers who were assisted
during the eight months period,
Four hundred and eighty-three
operating loans and 13 water la

Everybody, Including Uncle

wheat. Too much corn, too. But
If the price drops to where It bo
longs, it might cause a further
"lovellng-off," which is the word
most commonly used Instead of
"depression."
If there Is too much wheat,
then Uncle Jam figures that the
more of It that spoils in the
field, the less to depress prices.
Logical, too.
There Is too mucli wheat bo

Formula Given
For Removal Of
Cherry Stains
Here's how to remove that
pesky fresh cherry stain from
vour shirt front.
Do not wait until you've had
your fill of cherries, but get at
the business oi stain removal im
mediately, Miss Lucy Lane,
O. S. C. extension clothing and
textiles specialist, implores. Dry
cherry stains are much more dif-
licult to remove man iresn ones.
First action on either white or
colored cotton, wool or silk is to
sponge the fresh stain with cool
water, men worn glycerine or a
soapless shampoo into the stain.
After letting the garment stand
for several hours, apply a few
drops of vinegar. Let it stand for
a minute or two oeiore rinsing
thoroughly in water.
If some of the stain still lingers,
Miss Lane suggests sponging it
with 20 V peroxide. Ana, sne
adds, this is not the medical va
riety. As an aaaea precaution,
before using the peroxide which
has a bleaching action, try It on
an inconspicuous Inside garment
seam to make sure the color is
fast, the clothing specialist adds.
Follow the peroxide with a
thorough cold water rinse.
Twenty V peroxide is not harm
ful to silks, wools, rayons or ny
lons If it is rinsed out of the gar
ment immediately followlnguse
with cold water, Miss Lane 'con
cludes.
all types of loans available
through the Farmers Home Ad
ministration. Supervised credit,
the state director emphasizes. Is
well suited to meet needs of young
couples with limited capital and
experience who wish to get estab
lished in farming.
Only farmers who are unable to
secure credit at reasonable rates
from other sources are eligible to
secure supervised credit from the
Farmers Home Administration, It
is pointed out. ,
Duffy slates that the Insured
mortgage program put into effect
in 1947 has made it possible for
banks, Insurance companies and
individuals to cooperate with the
government in a program of de
veloping and Improving local com
munities. Loans made through the
Insured mortgage plan are serv
iced by FHA fieldmen and repay
ments to the lender guaranteed
by the government.
Ninety thousand dollars was
loaned to Oregon farmers whose
property was damaged or destroy
ed by the 1948 Columbia River
flood, Duffy concludes.

Compare Prices.
Competition Is getting keener
In every line. But we get a
price list occasionally showing
the range of prices for feeds in
other places where they don't
apparently have to compete with
the Douglas County Flour Mill.
Some of these price lists make
us wonder if we are quite all
there. We have seen them so
much higher than UMPQUA
FEED prices that even when 5
to 10 rebate is figured, UMP
QUA prices are still sharply
lower.
If you are buying your feed
from the Flour Mill, you don't
need to look. But If you aren't,
It will probably be a good idea
to do a little comparing. After
all, turkeys may not be such a
big price, and many other items
may come down, even if wheat
stays up.
Doc: Your husband must have
perfect quiet. Here is a sleeping
pill.
Wife: When shall I give It to
him?
Doc: You don't. You take It
yourself.
Walter: This coffee came all
the way from Brazil!
Customer: You don't sayl Why
it's still lukewarm!
Dry Pastures.
When pastures dry up It
means you will have to make
some little changes to keep
things moving proper. For In

mucn milk, as much butterfat.
nor give It as willingly on dry
grass as on lush pastures.
you can Keep a contented cow
with a good bait of UMPQUA
MILKMAKER.
Another thing that will nay
Is to present the turkey flock
with a little succulence. If you
don't have corn fields or Irrigat
ed legumes why not give the
turx a feed of alfalfa and mo
lasses every day. They relish It
greatly. It Is rich In vitamins,
gives them a little hulk and Is
reasonable In price, Many folks
are giving the tame thing to
cows also.
And let in remind vou again
-all UMPQUA FEEDS (and we
have a feed for everything), are
sold on a money-back guarantee
of complete satisfaction. No
wonder so many Douglas Coun

Ruinous Worm Feasting
On Bumper Cherry Crop
THE DALLES, June 27. OB
An Oregon State College experi
ment station entomologist, Sid
Jones, was called here to find out
what kind of worm is ruining the
bumper cherry crop.
Growers reported a serious
larva infestation in some orch
ards It was discovered late; the
30,000-ton record crop is already
70 per cent harvested.
One grower was notified that
27 tons of fruit he had sent a proc
essor would all be useless. It was
partly infested; and processors
said the larva it so hard to de
tect that sorting out bad from
good cherries would be prohibi
tive In cost.
The worm, which appears seri
ous in some orchards but non
existent in others, may possibly
be the mlneola moth larva. Grow
ers, however, were not sure.
Spruce Budworm War To
Continue During 1950
PORTLAND, June 27. JP
The spruce budworm will be
fought in Oregon again next year.
Foresters and timber owners
said here that a survey has been
started to learn effectiveness of
the poison sprayed over 272,000
acres of forest in the ML Hood
and Eugene areas this year.
Early indications are of a heavy
kill about 98 per cent in the Eu
gene area and 95 per cent in the
Mt. Hood region, entomoligtsts
reported.
After the survey, foresters and
timbermen will meet in August
to lay definite plans for the 1950
campaign.

Best Of Year;
Accordingly
nual vegetables, those which com
plete their life cycle in one sea
son; are seemingly Intent upon
seed production, and in the case
of the leaf and root crops, when
seed bearing begins, quality is so
impaired that the harvest ends.
Conspicuous examples of this
are cauliflower and Chinese cab
bage. The first can seldom be ma
tured by the amateur in spring,
and the second is difficult. But
both can be grown with ease in
the fall, and should be.
Brussels sprouts and kale are
at their best in the fall. Endive
not only grows well in cold
weather, but its flavor is greatly
Improved by frost. Spinach, which
bolts to seed with the first warm
days of summer, no longer shows
this tendency when grown in the
fall, but gives a long harvest of H
top quality.
Root Crops Also at Best
Root crops also like the fall
weather, but to enjoy the highest
quality summer sowings should
be made so that new crops of
beets, carrots and turnips will
reach maturity In the early fall.
This Is an excellent time to have
the canning and freezing crops
available. While old plantings of
both beets and carrots will retain
fair table quality until freezing
weather comes, they should never
be used for freezing or canning.
and younger plants will also be
more welcome on the fall menu.
Eor green onions. In the fall,
onion sets will rarely be available,
since last year's crop cannot be
kept dormant in hot weather, and
the new crop is not sufficiently
cured to start growing again wlthr
out a winter's rest. The only way
to Insure fall green onions is to
sow onion used six to eight weeks
before the crop is edsired.
Cool Days Aid
Slow growing vegetables, which
need only to be sown once in or
der to give an all season harvest,
enjoy the cool days and more
plentiful rainfall of autumn as
much as the early types.
Swiss chard should be kept
young by cutting off all leaves
more than 10 inches long, and en
couraging new growth, which will
be more tender. New Zealand
spinach can be harvested until
freezing weather. Parsnips reach
top quality after the first hard
frosts, though many consider
them excellent when half grown,
and use them all summer. Pep
pers and egg plant produce abun
dantly In the fall,' and the late
maturing tomatoes and sweet
corn combine top quality with the
heaviest yield of the season.
Truly, the autumn harvest Is
the finest of the year!
