c------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I OREGON NEWS IN BRIEF watershed district by the government foresters Is under way. it is expected that the owners will exchange their rights In thia district for timber not In a government reserve section. Th.- Bull Ruu watershed is the source of Portland's water supply. ▲t a meeting of the Portland boiler makers' union it was voted that the 44-hour working week shall be put in to effect by members working In ship yards by the taking of Haturday half holidays.

An educational campaign is being launched by the Tillamook Creamery association to make their products bet ter known. The output of Tillamook cheese this year will. It la expected, exceed 11,600,UCO. In 1*17 the 24 fac tories handled 44,001,203 pounds of milk, and from It manufactured 4.074.- 3Z8 pounds of Tillamook cheese, valued at >1,188, «46. A shipment of 40 gallons of brindy and «6 gallons of whisky that wax masquerading as "cylinder oil, m<-d lum." and arrived on the steamer Row- City from Ban Francisco, was Belied at Astoria by the police and federal authorities. The liquor was In kegs packed In boxes and was consigned to the "Wendling Vaughn lagging com pany. Grays River, Wash.” Frantl.s telegrams have been receiv ed by Senator Chamberlain front rep- reeenlatlvea of prune growers lit the vicinity of 8alent saying that notwith standing the announcements that the food administration has given orders for the purchase of 38,000.000 pounds of Oregon prunes, the orders have not been received by Oregon packers and the packinghouses are still idle. The new circular road around the rim of Crater Lake has been complet ed. The road later probably will be hardsurfaced, but the dirt grade cir cling the lake at an average height of about 7000 feet is entirely finished. It la 38 miles long and completes 76 miles of road work now In Crater lake national park. The road arouud the rim has "been under construction for three years. Oregon draftees are being rejected at army camps and cantonments In excess of the national average, reports just I given out from Washington indicate. In recent months; under new stand ards. the average percentage of rejec tions of Inducted men has jumped from 4.83 per cent to 7.« per cent, for the nation at large. Oregon’s percentage of unfit Is 8 as against Washington state’s record of 6 per cent. Oregon lumber manufacturers have been asked by the navy to furnish «00,- 000 feet of disking to be used aboard mlns sweepers under construction on the Atlantic coast.

Creation of deficiencies, most of them at the atate*1nstltutlons, were authorised by the stats emergency board to provide a total of >164,450 needed to repU-nlsh funds for the re maining three months of the present biennium. Other emergency board meetings held heretofore have author ised deficiencies aggregating >347,600, so the present grand total In emer gency provision of funds during the biennium is >611,960. The longest fire fighting period ever encounttwed since the Santlam nation al forest was established ended with the recent heavy rains. C. (i Hall, •upervlaor of the forest, says that the lry weather began on June 7, and th? forests were In danger until October 3. No official estimate has been made yet of the amount of damage caused by the fires. Most of the fires were tn old burns and were not destructive. Ths recent big fire along the railroad and ** •* “ North Sant lam river, between dates and Detroit, killed millions of feet of green timber. Governor Wlthycombe telegraphed to Federal Food Administrator Hoover urging the necessity of government purchdbe of Oregon flour as a means of relieving the dairy situation In Ore- ton. He urged purchases by the gov ernment such as to permit the mills to run to capacity, as "the dairy herds ire suffering and rapidly diminishing on account of the shortage of mill feed.” Mr. HoovAr wired Governor Wlthycombe that the cows of the northwest must eat barley as a solu tion to the millfeed problem. Mr. Hoover claimed that twice as much wheat has Been milled In the north west as last year and that more than 50 per cent of the flour exports are from the northwest, which has created general dlasatisfactlon In other sec tions; that while barley feeds are 30 per cent less in price this year than last, they are not being bought In the northwest because of the compulsory lower mlllfe<>d price. The low level of prices has caused their much enlarged use by the farmers at the expense of the dairymen. In the state bar examinations that were held at Halrm under the dire» lion of th« supreme court only 11 ap pllcnnta for certificate» made their ap pearance.

MILK AS STRENGTH BUILDER ADVOCATED patriotic gather/ gs Dr. Mae H Cardwell, of Portland, who recently returned to Oregon from Gary, Ind.. New York and Washington, where she wax engaged in medical re search work for the Children's Bureau of the Department of I^ibor, said In an Interview: "The dairy Industries must be encouraged. The children of America must have milk. They can not thrive without good clean milk. Housewives must,use more milk If they demand It the dairyman will find some solution to his problems and will see that his cows get the feed and that he keeps thj-m alive and in good health However, If the women don’t order the milk, the dairyman Isn't go ing to keep his cows around just as pets and ornaments Feed is too scarce and labor too high for that. It's up to the housekeepers “Are you sending your breadwinners to work with all the vigor and strength you can muster for them in the way of proper food?" asks Dr. Cardwell, "if they don't get the right food they can't think or work well. The same applies to the school children. See that they have milk to drink; milk In puddings. The kitchen is the power plant of the family and consequently, of the nation. Don't waste a drop of milk or an ounce of butter, but use plenty, The health of the nation Is the kitchen question, Milk Is one of the main factors In a diet" • • • • Baby Expert Preaches Greater Use Of Milk. A milk bill and healthy children is cheaper than a doctor’s bill and an underfed, under-nourished child, It would be cheaper to start right, So says Mra. A. Bayley, of the Parents' EducaUonal Bureau, Oregon Congress of Mothers, who has presided at the testing of thousands of babies. She finds the mllkfed youngster of three or four years scores much higher than the child who has had little milk in his diet. Mrs. Bayley preaches a greater use of milk for young and old. • • • • Dairy Commissioner Sees Encouraging 8lgna J. D. Mickle. State Dairy and Food Commissioner, stated recently that the dairy situation, In spite of high prices of feed and scarcity of labor, is not all gloom. Reports have come to him from various parts of the state show ing that the housekeepers are begin ning to see that they must pay more for milk than they did a few years ago. The dairymen are beginning to take heart, too, In some Instances and are looking to the future when the cow of today will bo worth much more money alive than she would now. slaughtered. And that future isn't so far off if the dairymen only continue to have courage and patience. The wise man and the one who is far-seeing, Is keeping his herds Intact. True, he won’t keep the old boarder who would just eat the food and bring no returns, but he la holding hie good stock. The sensible housewife, too, must know a man can’t feed and care for cows, keep a first class dairy, and provide clean bottles and well paid deliverymen without some expense. The Oregon Dairy Council is doing much to get the situation straightened out. The exhibit at th« state fair, the splendid cooperation of the Food Ad ministration. the public schools. Ore gon Agricultural College and the Bu reau of Health, all help the educational work and are part of the great task of "keeping the home fires burning." which task Includes the preservation of essential home Industries and the health of the nation. • • • • A farmer may slaughter his dairy herd In three hours but he could not replace it in three yearn.
