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

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

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

SPRAYING TREES W H ILE IN

Applying poisonous sprays to
fruit trees while they are in full

fruit trees, increasing the yield of

would of itself be a serious matter
because of the necessity of increas
