Let's pass over the familiar Register-Guard and con sider the excellent Oregon (Portland) Journ al which blazoned: T. B.

They have not buckled down to the determination to fight this war through." And when one of the hundred or more puzzled Washington correspondents asked , Mr. Kooseveu ior a aireci quote on ine situation, Mr. Roosevelt authorized: "I would say: 'President quotes Lincoln and draws parallel.'" It was in mind at first to make, the bitter comment that President Roosevelt was m- voking the dead Lincoln to tell the people nf trio TTniterl States thn truth. Ws withdraw ; that ugly jest. The situation is too danger ous for any jest. If the prospect is as dark as stated by Mr. Roosevelt at midweek this is no time to teers and draftees to believe they may soon return to normal civilian life.

West Lane and the Blachly district will follow suit Then comes the big state fair begin ning September 1, and finally the big four day Lane county fair beginning September 17. Even though there is weather risk so late in September, it is probably fortunate that the Lane county fair is one of the last on schedule. These district fairs in Lane county serve a real purpose. This is a very large county as large as the whole state of New Jersey. Far from impairing the in terest in the county fair the district fairs build up interest. What is needed to make our fairs a com plete success is more understanding and co operation on the part of the city folk. Since Pomona Grange accomplished the impossible by reviving fairs a few years back it has been no trick at all to get farmer participa tion. The lame end of the fair nowadays is in the commercial and industrial exhibits. To be sure, there are a few faithful com mercial and industrial exhibitors who can always be depended on for a showing, but the problem is to enlist representative groups so that the fair becomes an effective display of every major activity in commu nity life. If we might make a suggestion to Fair Manager Fred Knox it is that Lane county's economy falls into these principal headings: 1. Agriculture in all its branches. 2. Mercantile which includes Increasing wholesale distribution. 3. Manufacture lumber, plywood, can nery head this list. 4. Transport this year air transport is added to rail and highway facilities. 5. Education. Why not try enlisting exhibits under these main headings? The purpose of a fair, we believe, is to find out what the other fel low grows or makes. Mr. Ickes says gas rationing for Oregon may.be postponed. Now the Old Man says that if Mr. Ickes can just fix it for about the opening of college, he may have something. Headline tells us Rufus Holman is con ducting hearing in Southern Oregon, but if we know Rufus Southern Oregon is hear ing Holman. Headline writer back East gets prize for "banner" billing Nazi-Russ war as "Liars' Contest" but for us the cleverest combina tion of the year will be our Bill Moore's: "Man Tries to Extort Money From Mayor Large; Judged Insane." Folks who are satisfied to sit around and wait for something to turn up usually get turned down. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK HIGH COST OF SPEED (The Klamath Herald)' With gasoline shortages in the news and cash economy becoming important to everyone, motor ists may show more Interest now than in the past in the savings in gas and cash which may be effected through more moderate driving speeds. One way to hedge against the high cost of motoring is to watch the speedometer. Speed is expensive, because it consumes more gasoline, wears out more tires, increases the danger ot acci dents. The Travelers Insurance company has prepared a chart which should be ot Interest to Klamath motorists in this connection. This table is based on a 1000-mile journey. Average car, average roads, average driver. It is worth studying.

It's time to take It easy in the car. WASHINGTON LETTER By PAUL DUNHAM WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 21. Within a brief time the conservation program will bo out the win' dow head first. Soil conservation, which has been lire saver ior several counues in the Pacific north' west, through the checks, will be a thing of the past The idea of prosperity through scarcity is to be abandoned. From now on the policy will be to produce, produce ana produce. This new program will be directed at the farm' ers of the northwest and it will completely upset the plans which have been in operation for the past eignt years. Henceforth the united states is to be the feed-bag of democracy as well as the arsenal of democracy. Not again will a slaughter of little pigs be decreed, nor a curtailment ot any other production. What the administration is striving for is more food; more livestock, vegetables, fruit, milk, cheese and dairy products. In brief, the ad ministration will urge every farmer to get busy and raise all he can. It will' be the business of the farmers of the United States to produce enough for our own army and for the armies of Great Britain and Soviet Russia, and any other nation which may line up with tne policies or. president Roosevelt ana- wins ton Churchill as devised at their conference on the British battleship Prince of Wales. This, In itself, is a large order, but administration leaders are cer tain it can be filled, it the farmers are given time. There is, as everyone knows, a food shortage in Britain and part of the lend-lease program is to supply foodstuffs as well as airplanes, anti-aircraft guns, tanks and the miscellaneous weapons ot war in a mechanized age. In addition to Britain, there are commitments to China, to Greece, to Soviet Russia, although the Soviets are an agricultural nation. Primarily, the soldiers must be fed, then the civilian population. This is the outline now under consideration. Later, when the war ends, the United States will have to feed the millions of peoples of other lands who have been rescued from Herr Hitler's legions, and this will impose a still further burden on the Amer ican farmer. Unless, of course, there is some price fixing regulation the cost of farm products will soar, both in this country and abroad. The picture has changed since that memorable meeting of the Brit ish Prime minister and the president. To meet the needs of feeding most of the world, the farmers will be encouraged to cultivate every acre they can and speed up production. The secretary of agriculture, Claude Wlckard, urged dairymen of Oregon and Washington to increase their herds several months ago. Pointedly he asked that they furnish more milk; urged cheese factories (of which there are excellent ones in the two north west states) to operate day and night; proposed that the poultrymen increase production of eggs. Much of this advice and suggestion has been fol lowed by the dairymen, but what Secretary Wlck ard requested was insignificant as compared to the quantities that will be needed. While there is no large number of hogs in the northwest, there has been a notable addition. Cattlemen are now mak ing money; sheepmen are thriving. Truck gardeners growing tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, peas and beans ire to be informed that the war demands require mora than present yields. These vegetables will be canned and dispatched to the army and navy of the United States and Britain. Too many tomatoes can not be raised; there is a market at the canneries for every bushel ot these vitamin-bearing vegetables. While the "ever normal granary" of Vice Presi dent Wallace (advocated when he was secretary of agriculture) will be maintained, it will be the objective to accumulate vast stores of surplus food. This accumulation Is to be distributed in the rescued countries when they are salvaged and while they are endeavoring to get back on their feet. This task will be monumental and is unpar alleled in the history of the United States, and to accomplish it all restrictions on crops, much of the soil conservation program and federal regulations must be either revised or abandoned, at least "for the duration." Little fanfare has been made over the change In policy, but the men who are doing the planning wish to have all the details worked out before the publlo Is Informed of the program. Naturally, the farmers wish to produce more than their present allotment and probably will welcome the change. With the exception of tobacco and cotton, the pro gram will apply to farmers of the northwest, as they grow almost everything that will be so badly needed, Thursday Radio KOAO Camilla- Klleeyelss 8:00 p. m.
