The state of Oregon, through the State Council of Defense, and J. W. Brewer and Paul L. Newmcyer, directors in charge of the work, has been called up on to furnish a quota of 9500 for this boys’ working reserve, and I therefore feel justified in urg ing the patriotic youths of this stae to answer this call of then- country. Ft is imperative that this Na tion have a reserve labor sup ply to meet any shortage pos sible on the farms, and Oregon, through its high schools,church es and young men’s organiza tions must co-operate in this important service for the week opening April 15. This movement offers each boy who is not steadily employ ed and who is not engaged in active military service an oppor tunity to improve his vacation periods by service in wholesome and productive activity that will redound materially to the profit of this nation in the great world-war. I earnestly appeal to the sturdy boys of Oregon to respond during Enrollment week. To encourage the use ns well as the making of cottage cheese, a heap and palatable substitute for meat, the United States depart ment of agriculture has launched campaign in which nearly 100 field workers will fake part and which is to carry to every state in the I mion this lesson: “Cottage cheese is made from kim milk now largely wasted or I fed to animals. A pound of cot | tage cheese has the same food value as a pound of meat. Make cottage leese, and thus put to valuable isc wasted skim, milk. Eat cot I •go cheese save the meat for our soldiers and the allies." rhree of the big divisions of the epartment of agriculture are work ing in the campaign, which also is staunchly supported by the federal food administration. The bureau of animal industry, through its dairry division, is-send- ing 47 women dairy agents to as many stutse to stimulate the mak ing of cottage cheese on farms and also to co-operate with urban dem onstration agents in encouraging the use of cottage cheese on city tables. The state relations service has sent a party of women home- demonstration agents to various cities to demonstrate many new and attretive cottage cheese dishes or iginated in Uncle Sams food lab oratories in Washington. Front Cleveland the home-demonstration workers will go separately to the other cities and towns to repeat tliei rvvork. The bureau of mar kets, meanwhile, is sending agents to the cities visited by the home- demonstration c a m p a i g n. The market’s men are getting in touch with wholesale and retail distri butors of outage cheese. Twenty- two men are also sent out to en courage the production and im prove the quality of cottage chose produced in creameries and milk plants. m akers, b u t th e y w o u ld n o t now' th in k o f u sin g the c ru d e m eth o d s pic- r» I.

SPRAYING TREES W H ILE IN BLOOM POISONS THE BEES Applying poisonous sprays to fruit trees while they are in full bloom often kills many of the bees that have come to feed on the nec tar. Last spring, reports Professor A. L. Lovette of O. A .C., many colonies were practically wiped out A BUSINESS WOMAN by careless application of poson- ous sprays. Great care should be taken, he says, to prevent a recur L unch Couvy it rence this year. The bees are of in estimable value in pollination of Sisîtg i fruit trees, increasing the yield of first-class fruit from 15 to 50 per cent. The loss of the bees this year would of itself be a serious matter because of the necessity of increas ing the honey supply as a substi- j tute for sugar. The ideal time to spray apple ! trees is just after all the petals have fallen, hut with certain vari eties the central and important blossoms have closed so that the spray cannot he driven in, before the petals have fallen from the outer mendation is therefore to apply -I»- poison spray to the blossoms of the “His wife Is a buslnes woman all fallen off. right.” To apply thespray earlier than "What makes you say that?” this serves no additional good pur “She installed a time-clock in the pose and is highly destructive to hall, and he has to punch it when he the bees. goes out nights and when he gets back.” Bungalow Cash Grocery NORTH INDEPENDENCE SPECIALS IN SYRUPS Log Cabin, medium size......
