CORVALLlS, Ore., Oct 14 Every Oregon farmer Is asked to add at least one-fourth to his winter wheat acreage, if he farms In winter wheat j districts. Since It Is evident that ;BOrae of tnem may not ''P a,,le t0 (1 those who can go still higher are ! ur8ed 1,y the government and the Ag- rlcultural College to do so. 'Cultivated fields such as corn, beans, potatoes, offer a splendid op portunity for making up a large part of the Increased acreage," says G. R, Hyslop, the College farm crops spec lallst "In many parts of the Wll lamette-Valley and western Oregon the beans have been harvested, th corn gathered and the potatoes, are being dug. The ground Is genera! ly In good condition for seeding right now. "Many farmers lose 5 to 15 bush els per acre by planting In the spring Instead of fall. This possible add! tlon to the wheat supply of 1910 Is needed to form a reserve if the crops are good, and to Insure a sufficient supply If the crop is poor. In either event It will be profitable for the farmer. "Owing to the shortapc of velrh seed thousands of acre's normally planted to vetch can be seeded to winter wheat. Much land normally seeded to oats may be planted with white win tcr wheat." It Is time for the Sick Man of Europe to take his medicine, and the Allies are seeing that he does it.

Agricultural War Work Drugs and medicines used by the Army Medical Corps are being tosted by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agrl culture at headquarters In Washing ton and at its offices in various cities. Several chemists have gone from the bureau tq accept commis sions in tho Army and perform the work directly for tho War Depart ment. Chemists and Inspectors are being Instructed for Army and Navy work and special investigations are being conducted on problems, con cerning foods, leather, fabrics, paper, and other products In military and naval demand. Texas boys to the number of 138, 734 have enrolled as club members In the food-production army for 1918. This number exceeds by more than 125,000 all previous records of the state and, according to the De partment of Agriculture, shows the fighting spirit of young America In backing the armies abroad. If food will win the war, the boys of Texas are doing their part. . - "Culling drives" to weed out the unprofitable fowls are, being con ducted by poultry raisers In many sections of tho country under the di rection of local leaders of the United States Department of Agriculture. In one community In .Missouri the lo cal leader organization set out to cull the nonproducers of every farm possible on a certain day, and as a re sult of this campaign, known as a "culling drive," selections were made In more than 300 farm flocks. This undoubtedly brought about the sale or the eating of several hundreds of hens that, had they been held over during the winter, would have made at least a large proportion pf the flocks unprofitable. Such campaigns are made possible thru the organized local communities under the super vision of good leaders. One variety of wheat produced at the rate of CC.6 bushels per acre, while another variety, grown under the same conditions, produced at the rate of 38.3 bushels In tests recently completed at the Georgia Experiment Station, in which the United States Department of Agriculture cooperat ed. The data adds to the proof al Teady on hand that It pays to sow tne right variety the variety that Is best suited to the conditions In sections In which It Is grown. In each State or wheat-growing district there are varieties, according to the department, which produce higher yields than others, even when given the same culture. If growers arc not familiar with the high-yielding varieties for their section, they can obtain Information on the subject from their State experiment station or the United States Department of with rye at the same station resulted In one variety producing at the rate of 43 bushels per acre and another 37.3 bushels. Similar tests with bar ley resulted in one variety producing at the rate of 70.5 bushels per acre and another 55.2 bushels when grown under the same conditions. Further proof that there is a close relationship between the rust of bar berries and of wheat and other cere als has resulted In active campaigns to eradicate the shrub In many com munltles. Two rather striking cases of this close relationship were ob served recently In Indiana by repre sentatives of the United States De partment of Agriculture. In one lo cality a field of wheat, along ono side of which grew a barberry hedge, was practically destroyed by the black stem rust. The case was so clear that 17 farmers held a field observa tion day under the guidance of tho county agent and Immediately drew up resolutions, In which they stated that the relation was so clear that they wished to go on record as fa voring legislation to eradicate all barberry bushes from the State. In another case a hedge of barberry and two deep plantings were found on a farm upon which a wheat field was so badly affected that the crop Come in and Examine the TIRE With a thous and claws. "All sizes SOLD DV THE Overland Millner Co. was a partial failure. A second field near by was very seriously affected also, as well as a number of fields In the vicinity. Similar cases have been observed in a number of other States, and public sentiment favor ing the eradication of the common barberry Is growing rapidly. It Is said that Japanese barberry does not harbor the wheat rust. Agricultural advisers, ono of -hora Is to be associated with each district draft board In tlie country, nr to bo announced soo-i hy -.lie Depun.nent of Agriculture, whlcn is appointing them after consultation i'.h agri cultural leaders In the various States.

Many women recently have called tho offlco ot the Homo Demonstra tion Ag'nt asking about tho canning of pimentos. Commercial canned pi mentos aro expensive, and they should be canned at home whenever possible, Tho canned pimentos can bo used in many ways in salads, meat substitute loaves, in sandwich filling and In relishes. Pimentos add nn appetizing flavor and an attract ive color to any food to which they are added. To can pimentos pick the ripe pep pers the samo day they are to be canned. Tho medium sized ones may lie canned whole, but Irregular and broken ones are best cut Into strips and canned. Remove the seeds by cutting around the stem with a par ing knife and take ou tho Inside par titions. To peel the peppers, place them In a hot oven from six to ten minutes (until the skin blisters and cracks) being careful not to allow them to burn. The skin can then be easily removed with a paring knife. Flatten the peppers and pack In Jars In horizontal layers. No liquid Is used In canning pimentos. The cook ing In the jars brings out a thick li quor which almost covers them In the Jars. A little salt to each Jar may be added if desired Adjust the lids, and sterilize for forty-five min utes in hot water bath. AN-VE McCORMICK, Home Dem. Agent.

IU'LES TOR SOLDI EltS1 CHRISTMAS PACKAGES Tho American Red Cross has Just announced details of tho plan by which soldiers In Franco may cacli receive ono Chrlstmns package. Tho rules cannot bo waived and no excep tions can bo made, as .tho rules which wero prepared by tho war de partment and the Red Cross have been approved by both organizations and by the postofflco authorities. Hero aro tho rules In brief: No parcel may be sent which docs not bear a "Christmas Parcel La bel." These labels are now being Issued In Franco to soldiers who wilt send them to relatives or friends. Each soldier will receive ono label. If ho falls to send It no parcel can, bo sent to him. Upon displaying the label, tho Red Cross will Issue at chapter or branch offices, or at stations to bo estab lished, a carton, of tho following di mensions, three Indies by four Inch es by nine Inches. This carton is to lie filled with articles not prohibited, tho govern ment's prohibitory list being Issued with the carton. Tho maximum weight unwrapped Is two pounds 15 ounces. Tho filled carton Is to bo taken t the Red Cross station, where the Red Cross will examlno und Inspect It, tie It and weigh It nnd affix the la bel, addressed to the soldier. It must then be stamped at the rate of 12 cents to the pound, or portion thereof. Tho Red Cross will then retain the package, later turning It over to the postofflce department. AH par cels must be mailed before Novem ber 15 and no parcel will be accept ed that does not bear the label. No duplicate labels can be Issued, even If the original label has been lost In transmission or otherwise No notes or messages may go with parcels, and before attaching Its inspected tag the Red Cross will remove all such from packages. The Portland chapter will have these cartons ready as soon as th first labels arrive and will open suit able parcel depots In Portland and thru Its brnnches In Yamhill, Tilla mook, Columbia, Washington nnd Clackamas counties, whllo In other sections of Oregon the Red Cross chapters there located will perform this function.
