Anna Jameson Industry Teams Up With Farm Youth in 4-H Club Programs U S. AT LARGE: Draft Notices are not effective until officially received. This means actually opening the letter. 'Tis reported that some who prefer the Navy to the Army have been known to run down and join first, avoiding going into their homes because they've stopped first, looked through the window, and seen the official envelope lying on the table. SALT LAKE CITY. UTAH. Tur key growers are not asleep on their roosts. They've taken a page from the success book of the dairymen, and launched an "Eat Moro Turkey" program, which if successful will cause so much tur key to be consumed, all of the novelty of Christmas and Thanks giving dinners will be gone. PORTLAND, ORE.: Many are surprised to learn the telephone switchboard in the Meier and Frank .Department store is larger than that of the City of Salem.

PASADENA, CALIF.: Evange list Billy Graham, just hit town and hit down a freshly strewn sawdust trail in Pasedena, made especially for him. He has just finished a successful, record shat tering stand in Portland, Oregon, where he showed local clergy a few tricks they won’t forget soon. He had a lapel mike with a trail ing ground wire, which gave the same general impression as crazy cat. His congregation never missed a word as he moved rapidly about the stage, tiecause Billy is "Wired for Sound." Office Supplies — Th* Sentinel.

Today through the National Com mittee on Boys and Girls Club Work — nearly 6uy L Nobl» 5 V industries. businessmen and women are back ing up their faith in two milion 4-H Club members with incentives valued at $400,000 annually. This amount is distributed for awards and leader training funds in 4-H programs which range from can ning to tractor maintenance. “The money is considered a sound investment in the nation's future by encouraging these rural boys and girls who have pledged their head, heart, hands and health to make the best better,” declared Guy L. Noble, director of the Na tional 4-H Committee, a non-profit citizen’s group. "4-H youth learn by doing,” he stated, “and guiding their efforts are 225,000 volunteer club leaders who work under the direction of the Extension Service of the State Agricultural colleges to carry out 4-H program objectives.” The teen agers do a man-sized job in their projects, according to Noble, and by the time they reach 21 many are well on the way to becoming independent farmers, while others have substantial bank accounts. Among the awards for outstand ing achievement are trips to the National 4-H Club Congress held in Chicago. Here 1,100 state and national champions accompanied by club leaders assemble from every part of the country. They are joined by delegates from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Phone 760 The farmers who plan to make early orders for their fall fertili zer are more apt to receive ship ment at the desired time, says W. B. Parker, county extension agent. When needs are filled during the off-season part of the year, the fertilizer is usually cheaper, and certainly planning ahead is good business for all concerned. In the northwest there are two peaks in the retail sale of commer cial fertilizers: one during the spring planting season and the second in the early fall. Right now we are in a slack period between the two peaks. Those who purchase their needs now can be assured of an ample supply of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers for fall use. Those who wait until the time to apply the material may go with out or have to take a substitute material. Early ordering is especially im portant under Oregon condition where most of the warehouses ordinarily handling commerial fer tilizers are now full of seed and grain. With early fertilizer orders on hand the fertilizer dealer can procure your needs without sacri ficing non - existent warehouse space. In Recent Count A printed report detailing re sult* of an Oregon and Washing ton nut tree survey, which reveal ed that the planted acreage of fil bert* and walnut* in the two state* had been expanded consider ably during recent years, is now available from county extension agents or by writing direct to Ore gon State college. The extension bulletin is number TH. and is entitled, "Oregon- Washington Nut Tree Survey, 1949.” It contains 20 pages and is I tree. The survey shows that last year there were nearly two and one- half million filbert trees and 600,- 000 walnut trees in Oregon and j Washington. Filberts occupy 29,- ; 300 acre*; the walnut tree* are growing on 31,100 acres of land, i Eighty-seven per cent of the fil bert trees covered in the survey ' and 94 per cent of the walnut | trees are in Oregon. Tree nut production in the Pa- ! cific northwest, the report shows, has been expanded at a rapid rate during recent years. During the five-year period, 1945-1949, filbert production increased 50 per cent over the previous five years. Wal nut production expanded 40 per cent. Prices for the 1948 and 1949 I crops, meanwhile, averaged less than 50 per cent of parity for both walnuts and filberts. The survey was made at the request of the in dustry to form a basis of future production and marketing plans. Bearing capacity of filbert or chards will continue to increase. By 1954, the survey shows, the bearing surface of present orchards is likely to surpass the 1949 bear ing capacity of 35 per cent. Wal nut production will level off. Barring widespread tree re moval, filbert production for the period 1955-59 could easily exceed present ^production by an average 5,500 tons per year. The survey indicates that four- fifths of the filbert trees planted in Oregon and Washington are the Barcelona variety. About 84 per cent of Oregon’s walnut acreage are Franquettes.
