The copper wire program was ended September 10, and the coun ty committees no longer are issu ing copper wire allotment certifi cates: for farmstead wiring. Cer tificates issued before thai date must be wed within 10 days of the date of issuance. Time Limit Set The farm lumber program is now on a curtailment basis, and : ill be discontinued entirety on October 1. Until that date, county committees will issue farmers' lumber certificates for only main- tenance. repair and operating Dur- oses. or in emersencr cases. Alsd discontinued in the issu- " ance of preference rating certifi cates for farm engines. Produc tion controls have been dropped, and ratings are no longer neces sary to obtain engines. Order L-41 In Effect WPB's construction limitation order L-41 remains in effect, and firm applications for construction costing more than $1000 for farm buildings continue to be filed with the county committees. Approved applications will pro vide only authority to begin con ttruction, and will carry no prefer ence ratings for purchase of lum bet, or other materials. . " J "7 rt Wartime Medical Marvel Is Peacetime Dairyman's Hdpe Study i being made to find out if the new medical marvel, penidlt lin, may not be a care for mas titis, now becoming a bigger cause of loss to dairymen than even T.l. j: Penicillin already has been proved effective in auch cattle .dis eases is lumpy jaw, calf pneu monia, anthrax, streptococcus and staphylococcus infections. Thorough-going investigations with re spect to use of penicillin for mas titis scarcely appear! to have be gun, yet recognized ! investigators are holding out hope that it may prove to be what !the practical dairyman has been looking for to keep mastitis from getting the best of his herd. . . . , As pointed out by Dr. Robert ' () Taylor Director Of jMarketing and roduction Work . Robert B.- Taylor of Adams, chairman of the state AAA com mittee, has been appointed state director for Oregon of the pro duction and marketing adminis t ration, U.S. department of agri culture. . r As state director, Taylolr will be responsible for administration of production (programs including agricultural conservation, adjust ment, crop insurance, sugar pay ment, price support, loan and re lated activities. He will have "overnall direcjtion of marketing programs, which will be the pri mary responsibility Of the assist ant director, C. R. Tulley of Port land. Tulley was formerly direc tor of the USpA office of supply for Oregon. Taylor will1 continue as chair man of the state AAA committee, which wil still handle the agri cultural conservation committees. The new state director indicat ed that there will be no change in pperation of the production and marketing programs and no immediate shifts of personnel or headquarters. NOW IT CAN BE USED - John Webber, " who recently purchased the Kanne farm at ' Canby, has an ingenious, method of cleaning greasy harvest equip ment. He sprays; the greasy parts with' gasoline. An hour or so later, ' the dirty grease is. easily removed 'with compressed air.. Webber says that the removal of grease dimin ishes fire hazard. Care should be exercised to prevent an accident prior to the time the gaseline has evaDoraieo. ' Iliff Is Named As Director in Dairy Co-op Robert M. HUff of Independ ence, nas been maae a memoer of the board of directors of the Dairy Co-operative association, replacing Merritt Nash, resigned. Nash has taken a teaching posi tion in Idaho. ' Illiff -was born at , the family home at Independence and has engaged in breeding 'Jersey cattle since he was graduated from Ore gon State college In 1933. . Since then he has built a herd of pure bred Jersey cows deemed second to none in the United States. His herd holds three world records for butterfat pro duction and he has bred tour Su perior sires. This latter distinc tion is equalled only by one other herd in the nation. Illiff has shipped breeding stock to practic ally every state besides a large nUraber to Costa Rica. j Outside of the breeding of high class dairy cattle, miff's hobby is trap shooting. He is a member of the Salem Gun club. Prior, of the dairy- products com mission, mastitis in; all probabil ity causes a greater loss to dairy farmers than any disease to which the dairy cow is subject This de rangement of the! udder is due to several causes such as injuries, c billing front cold,; : damp ground, concretf floors, to irritation from poorly adjusted milking machines. But it Us when infection gets in that the irreparable; trouble be gins. . : . ,. i .. . - Spread of-disease! through the herd has not been prevented en J tirely through sanitary, measures. The use of sulfa drugs has not proved wholly satisfactory be-i cause of their toxic' effects. JSut a. ray of hope nowj presents it self in this new. field of medi cine. . : ii i ' V Penicillin was first discovered in England about 15 years ago but the first curative use of the prod uct was reported in 1841. It then proved quickly so satisfactory that by 1943 regular shipments were being made to the armed forces all over the world. I SM. First cost j was high: and pro duction limited. The price was $20 per 100,000 units, with in jections in cow's J 1 udders being tried at from 10,000 to 100,000 units. Recently production has been improved greatly and it is neither so expensive or difficult to obtain, . -in - - , jj t ' Belt on, Racier Are Establishing Ladino Clover Plot for Seed Senator Howard Belton and! E. U Rader of Canby are establish ing 30 acres of ladino clover for seed production purposes in the spring, Rader and Belton will plant on non-irrigated land. Gus Stuwe of Needy planted 13 acres , of ladino last June. The seeds didn't germinate toov ell in spots but the recent shower is bringing along a good stand. 1 Senator Belton has eliminated the necessity-of a small aeed at tachment for his grain drill by using miilorganite, a new sewage fertilizer, which he mixes with small clover seeds prior, to plant ing. This material contains six per cent of nitrogen and two per cent of phosphoric acid. It Is very granular and serves to dilute the small seed so that small quanti ties are easily planted through the grain hopper. - ? 1 Tin, one of the earliest metals discovered, is mentioned In sev eral books ofMhe Bible. , L'auvibi-n Pr3 crew, 7:23 b 6:C3 P, II.

Outcome of the corn crop became of more concern. Pacific northwest terminal wheat mar kets were firmer although ' still congested. Up - country paying prices were firmer than terminal market bids. Quotations for al falfa hay at Portland ranged- from the ceiling downward as much as is..'.-' I . v ;;,:vf.'!- Reduced military requirements were, reflected In the Hairy and poultry markets.

";';' ' Pacific coast egg markets quot ed ceilings on top grade, with lower grades weaker. Indications were that the market supply of poultry is becoming more ade quate.

Europe Short On Calories There may, be Justification for a protest against some of the kinds of food being sent to liber ated Europe, says the, editor of the Dairy Co-op leaflet but there can j be no - question of the need for assistance to those peoples. According to a recent report of the director of war mobilization and! reconversion, a grown person needs about 2000 calories' a day to subsist and 2600 if he is to do active work. Greece can produce only enough food to supply 970 calories for its people; Albania, 1015; Norway 1015; The Nether lands, 1830; and Belgium, 1795. Fill's Ilarhel 218 N.
