Pacific Power & Light company construction crews are
completing 45 miles of new rural distribution line 6n the
North unit project to serve the 200 farms being developed on
the f irst 20 000 acres of Central Oregon's newest irrigation
foday P L'ukaff, P. P, & L. district manager, said
Construction of the extensive rural distribution system on
the North unit followed war production board approval of
Pacific Power & Light company's reauest to bring electricity
onto the project before the big -
acreage is actually irrigated as
a means ot speeding settle
ment and development 'of the
land to boost food Droduction
for the war effort.
Lackaff said land owners are
already building homes on 80 acre
tracts surrounding Culver and
Metolius to be ready for the first
irrigation water expected late in
the summer for fall seeding.
About 70,000 acre feet of water
are in storage in the Wickiup
reservoir.
Bebb First Customer
First customer to be connected
to the Pacific Power & Light com
pany's new lines on the North
unit is L. E. Bebb, who came to
Central Oregon two years ago and
oougnt an u-acre tract near Cul-
ccmfortable farm home.' Like
other tracts being developed on
the project, the Bebb farm is to
be thoroughly electrified.
Generally, the newly irrigated
tracts on the North unit project
will be diversified with emphasis
on alfalfa, Brain crops, beans, po
tatoes, dairying and poultry and
livestock raising, but Bebb and
other settlers from Idaho see a
future for commercial seed rais
ing on the new land.
Bebb, a long-time resident of
the Boise valley, an established
commercial seed growing district,
has been dry farming and raising
wheat on his tract while waiting
for water. He will plant clover
this fall to improve the soil and
harvest the crop for seed. Later,
he plans to grow oninon, carrot

Capital Is Hit
By Meat Scarcity;
Solons Worried
Washington, April 19 Uli
Senators who hnve been investi
gating the nation's meat shortage
for more than a month finally
discovered today that there is a
pretty alarming scarcity of roasts,
steaks and even oxtails right here
in the capital.
Every last one of Washington's
slaughterhouses has closed up.
Couldn't get meat.

What's more, Mrs. Elmer Thom
as hasn't been able to get any for
weeks and weeks. Mrs. Thomas'
husband, a democratic senator
from Oklahoma, is head of the
senate's food Investigating committee.
Congressional sanction of the
designation, "nonfat milk solids,"
to replace the designation, "skim
milk," Is evidence of the efforts
now being made to improve the
peacetime Sales appeal and cash
return of that portion of milk ly
ing below the creamline. It Is not
unreasonable to assume that after
the war powdered whole milk and
nonfat milk solids, both impor
tant war products, will be found
on the shelves of the grocery
store In packages equivalent to a
quart of milk.
All reptile venoms are complex
proteins that defy full chemical

known about their effect on ani

Electricity from Pacific Power & Light company lines is aiding development of new farms on the
North unit project. First of 200 farms to receive electric service there is the 80-acre tract owned by
R. E. Bebb, where the comfortable farm home (photo upper left) Is being completed. Bebb has already
