In explaining the new program
which Is proposed to adjust pro
duction to domestic needs for na
tional defense and to the news of
the nations resisting aggression.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
R. Wickard said:
"Everv farmer in the United
States will be contacted by local
farmer committeemen under the
supervision of USDA defense
boards and will assist with lndi
vidual farm plans to determine
the extent to which each farm can
contribute to agriculture's task in
national defense.
All over Oregon, county USDA
agricultural defense boards have
been meeting to map plans for
Oregon's participation in this
nation-wide food - for defense
program. The first of the 36
meetings started October 14, and
ail were scneauiea mi wm
pitted by October 17.
At these meetings the members
of the agricultural defense board
and representative farmers and
farm leaders have decided how
much of the state's goal in the
nroduction of vital foods each
ceunty can assume.
After these county goals are
definitely decided upon there will
be another series of meetings to
train a group of workers. These
workers, consisting mostly of
community AAA committeemen,
will contact the individual farm
ers so that every farmer In Ore--
gon will have the chance to en
list to do his share in this nation
wide food-for-defense program.
Oregon's list- includes an increase
of 11 per cent in milk production
to be accomplished in two way?.
Firsts by better feeding and man
gement, and second by an in
crease in cow numbers estimated
at about 4.7 per cent The ques
tion is how to get more cows on
such short notice.
Those closest to the dairy in
dustry say that can also be done
in two ways. First, under present
. conditions it will pay to hold some
cows in production which might
normally be culled out and sent
to the butcher. In the second
place, statistics show, that there
are more than .the usual amount
of heifers on hand, which can be
brought into production for next
- year.
The next big requirement in
the food program is more eggs.
For Oregon the request is for 12
: per cent more. Poultry leaden
say that this can quite easily be
accomplished in Oregon by op-
. eraung present iacuu.es nearer
; to capacity. They say that If ex
r -sting laying houses are filled
vp, the increase may be obtained
; with very little additional cap'
Ital investment.
Next comes cattle and calves for
slaughter next year. The state
USDA agricultural defense coun
cil believes that the marketings
for slaughter can be increased by
10 per cent. They also are asked
for a 20 per cent increase in spring
pigs. As to sheep and lambs, 'on
the other hand, there has already
been a rather heavy increase so
. that no more is expected, In fact.
a slight decrease is anticipated.
, Chickens for use as meat .
Oregon is asked to Increase its
output" by 9.8 per cent Oregon is
already an important turkey state,
but it is asked to produce 10 per
cent more this next year. .,
Certain counties are asked to
produce more field corn next
. year. Oregon was asked for an
Increase of 150 per cent la flax
' seed output The production
seed flax in this state has never
" been very profitable, but by In-
; creasing fiber flax by 59 per
' cent next year, It Is believed
v the amount of. flax seed wanted
i from Oregon will automatically
T bo met
. An increase of 2.6 per cent in
; vegetables is sought for fres
i shipment ana an increase oi
'per cent for processing. The big
. increase in this line is sougni in
- farm gardens. The goal is 38 per
. cent more farm gai-dens than were
raised this year. . This means
farm garden on nearly every farm
in the state if the goal is to be

Berry Acreage
Drop Foreseen
In Oregon
Indications are that the Oregon
acreage of strawberries for pick
ing .in 1942 will be 13,600 acres
compared with 14,200 acres har
vested in 1941, according to tie
agricultural marketing service.
Decrease in the important pro
ducing counties of Clackamas and
Washington as well as some minor
areas, is expected to more than
offset the anticipated increase in
Multnomah and Marion counties,
resulting in a net decrease of 4
per cent for the state.
For the United States as a whole
there are 204,190 acres of straw
berries in prospect for picking in
1842. This prospective acreage Is
3 per cent less than the 210,930
acres harvested in 1941 and com
pares with the 1931-1940 average
of 179,520 acres. "
' This prospective reduction in
strawberry acreage for next sea
son is largely the result of small
er acreages for the early and late
groups of states. Acreages in the
second ;; early and v intermediate
states are expected to be about
the same as the 1941 harvested
acreage. ry weather Jn many
parts of the east has limited
growth of strawberry plants, while
in Washington and Oregon, weed
and grass growth has been rank
following -the excessive rains in
September.
"The commercial crop of straw
berries for market In the United
States in 1941 totaled . 14,283,000
crates compared with the . 1940
crop of 14,314,000 crates and the
1930-1939 average crop of 11,
Field Slugs
Harm Crops
BRUSH CREEK Local farm- I
era are reporting more and more
crop-harm done by field slugs
this autumn. Especially are the
pests disastrous in peas, vetch
and clover fields. In many cases
scores of acres have been com
pletely wiped out.
In home gardens foliage from
low growing plants has been
completely stripped off, garden
ers report.
Rain has made baiting less suc
cessful and the work of the slugs
more successful, growers say. On
the drier nights, the pests do not
work as much. .
Early in the .fall season, mosfl
of the baiting was done with a
bran" concoction. During the past
week a new pellet poison has
proved more successful.
