State Grange
Head Speaks
Agricultural Problems
Discussed by GUI at
Silverton Meet
SILVERTON Need of in
crease in ; agricultural production
was stressed by Ray W. -Gill,
state grange master, at Silverton
Tuesday night when he spoke be
fore a group of Marion county
grange officers.
Gill returned Tuesday from at
tending a national grange execu
tive committee meeting in Wash
ington, DC, and (this was his first
appearance upon his return.
In referring to the hoi now
in congress to place a ceiling
on farm prices, GUI said:
The danger of the present
bill, unless It is amended, is
that it will freeze the prices on
farm products at a certain level
while labor and ether costs
might rise above and cripple
the farmers' ability to-produce
much of the needed crops.
The national grange went on
record," Gill continued, "favor
ing a ceiling on all prices, if
there is to be one of farm prices.
When they say labor should hot
have a ceiling because labor is
not a commodity, they forget
that prices received by farmers
are largely payment for their
labors."
Gill went on o say that he
felt , that no one realizes entirely
the tremendous job we have to
get necessary production for our
kselves and our allies in the face
of the shortages of labor, ma
chinery, fertilizer and certain
seeds such as onions, carrots,
beets and other products.
Especially, he said, is this true
in fruits and vegetables and oth
er crops requiring considerable
hand labor. With the whole world
looking to America for produc
tion there need be no room for
talk of farm surpluses, Gill de
clared.
"And," he pointed out, "if all
these demands aren't prepared
for in planting time, and we are
faced with a shortage next fall,
there will be no way to recover.
All the farmers are asking for
is a reasonable amount that will
give them a reasonable price in
face of all their extra costs."
In Gill's opinion, a price of
a few years a to cannot now be
used for a base in the new
prices without taking thought
of the extra costs.
"All this," said Gill, "is likely
to result in a scarcity of com
mercially canned goods. To meet
this problem we must turn to
the millions of farm gardens for
increased production planned on
basis of better nutrition stan
dards.
Millions of farmers inspired
by a patriotic opportunity can
do much to offset the shortage.
City gardens will also help bu
care should be used that this
campaign is built on a sound
basis. Those who have had ex
perience ixf growing vegetables.
and those who have horses, cows
or poultry that will provide suf-
sicient manure for their gardens
those who are successful in grow
ing annual flowers can adapt
their experience quickly to grow
ing vegetables.
'However," he added in clos
ing his defense talk, "it would
be a poor policy to dig up lawns
for this purpose. Those with
small grounds should continue
the upkeep of their laws and
plant their annual flowers. This
will do much for community mo
rale, and so it has been recogniz
ed by our secretary of agricul
ture."
Speaking socially, Gill said that
he found Washington, DC, almost
unbearably crowded, that trains
were crowded and that civilian
defense measures were going
ahead on the Atlantic coast much
like they were on. the Pacific.
Only some spots in the corn belt,
Gill felt, had. not ( yet come to
the realization of America being
actually involved in war.
Other state grange . officers
in attendance were Mrs. Marie
Thlessen, lecturer; Berths' Beck,
secretary; Mrs. L. Rena Slack,
juvenile supervisor; Ben Solas

Silverton Groups Make Plans
For Defense Bond Activity
SILVERTON H. W. Preston
of the county defense saving band
American Legion and auxiliary
in Silverton.
The local set-up got off to
meeting held at the armory.
Mrs. Zanta Hutton, president of
the auxiliary, and Sam Lorenzon,
commander of the Legion, serve
as generals for the local terri
tories. They have asked six other
organizations to join in being cap
tains for the drive. The presi
dents of these organizations will
either serve as captains them
selves or appoint someone to do
so.
In the case of the Legion auxili
ary, Mrs. Hutton has named Mrs.
J. J. Lewis as captain, and in the
post, F. M. Powell will serve.
These two will appoint "minute"
men to work, -a portion of the
12 districts within the city.
Other organizations assisting.
will be the Rotary club, with
Glenn Bridewell as president, to
work with the: woman's club, with
Mrs. Ralph Larson as president;
the Lions club with its auxiliary,
Byron Royce and Mrs. C. H. Dick-
erson, presidents; the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and its auxiliary,
headed by Edwin Svarvari and
Marion Tucker.
The minute men and women, to
be named by the captains, will do
the actual soliciting. They will
present cards oh which the income
earners are to be asked whether
he er she has purchased defense
bonds and how many he may plan
to buy.
This, according to orders re-
iceived here, is to be a voluntary
campaign ana no coercion is sup
posed to be used, but committee
members state that no "brush-off
signings will be accepted. The
minute men' will ask for actual
commitments, and while no defi
nite amount or percentage of a
person's income is mandatory,
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau has suggested that
15 per cent of a person's income
should go into this type of help
to the government.
Silverton's campaign, like others
throughout the country, will go
into effect on January 20.
