By B. C. Stewart.
An Immense "waste occurs each year
is the storing of food product, ft has
been said,' that if this waste could be
saved. It -would W sufficient to feed
all of Uue hungry people of the world.
;No doubt this is true, if we Add to It
that which ia wasted in handling Lnd
marketing. Elimination of waate should
be and is in falct Just aa important as
the increasing: 'of cproduetion,
American methods ' are- known the
world over to be wasteful, although
the progresslveness ot tIie people here
la envied by, many nations. Speed and
impatience at any idelay do not tend
,to work toward a saving; system. Some J
iday,. when the,1 natural -resources --or

methods will have to come Into style.

the offspring- and cuts down the
amount of feed necessary to put the
animal or ita product upon the mar
ket. Losses resulting- from attacks of
parasites, pests and blights, while food
products are growing, are proving to
be largely, preventable, but are harder
to .control' than , those thirtgs which de
stroy products. after they are harvest
ed and in; a marketable condition. The
grain thai matures, but never reaches
the mill, runs into millions of bushels
annually. Poor methoda of cutting.
Hacking. threshing and storing are
largely responsible for this, but large
' ' losses also occur because of mice, rats
and weevil, which take their toll, both
in Ithe fields and storehouse.
Considerable attention is being given
- to the extermination of field pests and
the holding in check of rodents which

success of this work depends entirely
upon thei assistance and full coopera
tion of everyone who grows or helps
take, care of food products after they
are stored. '
Much fruit is wasted in the orchards
because of depredations of birds, bees
afrid i yellow Jackets. This, while con
siderable and preventable to 'a great
extent, does not compare in magnitude
. with that which irf not harvested or
becomes unfit for consumption before
if reaches the consumer. Glutted mar
kets often cause great losses, for, when
the; supply Is greater than the demand,
fruit is left to -spoil and is finally
dumped. An orderly system of mar
keting, which would prevent oversup
ply on some markets and scarcity on
others, would- prevent this loss.
Meat packing plants are making an
effort to reduce the waste caused by
abuse of animals, both on the farm
and in transit to the slaughter house
A great deal of meat is ruined or
- lowered in value by bruises caused by
careless methods of handling meat ahi

fact that 15 per cent of all of the

WAR VET
B
BECOME FARMERS
H Many disabled -,. war. veterans are
taking up some phase of farming, ac
cording to information given oat at
the Portland office of the United
States Veterans' ; bureau, which -has
charge of rehabilitation ' of , war
veterans in the state of Oregon. They
are taking- up farming for the double
purpose of regaining health and . mak
ing a living, says B. C Culver, who
has charge ot the veterans' farming
work in ths state. 1 1 N
The latest feature in connection with
agricultural training is . that certifi
cates of graduation are to be issued
to al veterans who complete their
institutional and practical courses suc
cessfully. This means that although a
man may not have a college education
he may secure a diploma If he learns
what to feed chickens Or how to grow
berries. Officials of the bureau be
Seave' that agricultural training is one
of the ' best means of war veteran re
habilitation. The Oregon Agricultural
college Is one center of training where
more than 100 are- specialising' in class
work and others on farms are -being
assisted. Portland la the other center
and many veterans on farms in this
district are being given every assist
ance. -
In many instances the disabled war
veteran is doing better financially
than he did .In the occupation be fol
lowed before the war. William Pod
wysocfcl of Banks, Or., is a good ex
ample of a successful trainee working
along an unusual agricultural, line,
that of raising medicinal herbs. 'War
experiences caused Podwyscki's eye to
fail and so he undertook the learning
of this old occupation at the. expense
of the -government. He now has 40
acres of intensive production and ex
pects that he will soon make "a barrel
of money. v ,
Richard L. Smith of Hermlston will
be rehabilitated shortly after the first
of next year in .dairying and poultry
husbandry. A wound in his arm kept
him from 'entering his pre-war occu
pation as a: truck driver.
Presley Smith, project trainee of
Canbjr, Or., lives on the produce of
his land plus an average of H a
month. He has three and a half
acres of land and from this cans many
bushels of beans, corn and fruit for
winter use. Disposal of poultry and
other products nets Smith a good
income.
The government supervisor of the
agricultural trainee demands that the
veteran keep an exact budget system
and record of his receipts and ex
penditures. He is furnished with good
farm Journals and must keep up on
farm marketing conditions.
