Farm Transport
Groups Formed
by Counties
Organization of county farm
transportation .committees has
been completed throughout the
state as another step in the pro
gram to make certain that Ore
gon agriculture continues to give
maximum support to the nation's
war effort; says William L.
Teutsch, assistant director of the
extension service at OSC.
Farm transportation and farm
labor are recognized as two of
the major obstacles to maximum
farm production in Oregon, said
Teutsch. The farm transportation
committees will deal on a local
basis with this acute problem, just
as county farm labor committees
are already dealing with the labor
problems, he said.
The Oregon state grange took
organized action on the transpor
tation problem early last spring
and sponsored six district trans
portation conferences in April, in
which representatives of the in
terstate commerce commission and
the college extension service par
ticipated. The present committees
are. an outgrowth of these confer
ences and result directly from ac
tion of the Oregon USDA war
board.
While normally 600,000 trucks
are produced and used annually
for replacing old trucks, only
130,000 new trucks remained in
the national pool at the end of
May for distribution in the entire
country. Farmers own nearly orre
third of the five million trucks in
the United States.

President Toasts Batch Q
on Official Washington Visit
Br RUTH
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 - 7P)
nesday night at a state dinner in the White House to toast the
ruling queen of the homeland of his ancestors, Wilhelmina of
The Netherlands. She responded with one to his health as head
of, a great country, and to thej
success of its armed forces.
V"l think "that aU of us at this
table tonight" the Roosevelts had
invited 33 guests to honor the
queen "realize the symbolism of
the visit of her. majesty to this
country of ours" President Roose
velt said. v ,
r "The friendship between 5 our
great ; nations has never ceased.
It has been the friendship of peo-j , The state land board Wednes
pies who lived for the same kindiday approved a deed from the
of human rights and the same
kind of national Independence. -'
Obviously moved, the Cl-year
Id Monarch, whs made her
first trip t the new wrld In a
bomber, responded that she was
greatly toothed by the friendly
welcome extended ber at the
White. Hdnse.
This visit to this capital city
is to be the-' culminating point of
my stay In the United States." She
arrived in Ottawa front London
in June and has been visiting with
her daughter. Crown Princess
Juliana, and grandchildren in Lee,
Mass.
"I know" she said, "that when
you make me feel a welcome
guest, your thoughts are, like
mine, with my country, where at
this time, in east and west, op
pression breeds resistance, and
cruelty increases determination to
hold out"
The plumpish grandmotherly
looking woman was driven from
the railroad station where she had
been met on her arrival by Presi
dent Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose
velt. The thoroughfare from the
station was lined with a military
guard. .
The queen wore a black and
white print sheer frock covered
by a fall-length, light-weight
black coat. Her rather prim modi
fied white sailor hat had a spray
of white flowers at the front of
the low crown.
The fil-year-old monarch, the
world's senior ruler, was receiv
ed with fall military honors as
she arrived for her official visit
f several days. A mass forma
tion of marines, sailors and In
fantrymen stood at attention.
The queen showed humorous
interest in American ways as
news photographers gathered en
One reason why this extra allotment is possible-is

yard." The good beet sugar of the West
which no enemy can touch!
Pure beet sugar looks and tastes exactly
the same as any other quality sugar. It acts
the same in every kind of kitchen use. Not
