Cattle Rustlers
Again Active
Portland, April 3 (P) Price
ceilings and ration books spawn
ed the black market and the
black market, it appeared today,
was giving rebirth to that var
mint of the old west, the cattle
rustler. -
From many parts of Oregon,
a big cattle state, came com
plaints that Black Dallon was
riding again and maktng off
with quite a few head of stock,
Investigators blame the black
market,
In southern Oregon's Douglas
county, small farmers have lost
50 head in 90 days. The county
has called in the Douglas coun-.
ty mounted police reserves, a
civilian defense unit. They pa
trol back-county roads at night
in radio-equipped automobiles.
John Denny of the federal
agricultural service's war board
says Klamath, Harney, Baker
and other big eastern Oregon
rangeland counties have com
plained of rustling. He hopes a
new rule requiring certified
slaughterers to stamp each car
cass with their official numbers
will tighten up the market and
discourage rustling. From now
on any butcher with unstamped
meat will be presumed to be a
black marketer.
Says J. D. Mickel, slate agri
cultural director: "There's some
increase in rustling all right. So
far it's small scale. We're inves
tigating several cases. The rust
lers seem to be experienced,
know their c o u n try. They're
hard to catch. It's been frequent
around Burns in central Oregon
and along the Nevada border."
Wool Prices
To be Supported
Washington, April 3 (IP) The
agriculture department ri
nounced today that it would
support grower prices ot the
1943 clip of wool at levels equal
lo current OPA ceiling prices,
less freight and allowances for
marketing costs. Officials said
the support program should as
sure growers prices ot about 40
cents a pound or about 130 per
cent of parity.
Growers will be free lo sell
their wool to regular dealers.
However, should the market
price fall below Ihe support le
vel, the commodity credit corp
oration would stand ready to
buy at the support prices,
The CCC would deduct one
and one-eighth cents per grease
pound from the ceiling price lo
cover its costs.
The department explained
that the support program was
on an annual basis and applied
only lo this year's clip.
The announcement added;
"Officials indicated their be
lief lhat programs to prolccl
prices should be continued for
the duration ot the war and for
a suitable period thereafter since
growers will have the greatest
need for such protection when
the war terminates. Definite
commitmenls beyond ihe 1943
clip could not be made at Ihe
present lime because Ihe stattt-
lory life of Iho CCC has not as
yet been extended by congress
beyond 1943."
Representatives of wool grow
ers had asked Ihe department
lo purchase this year's and sub
sequent clips for the duration ot
Ihe war and two years there
after.

Seed Potato
Advice Given
Treatment of seed potatoes
for planting in home gardens is
not so important as when plant
ings are made for commercial
purposes, and in most cases can
be omitted entirely without dan
ger, according to County Agent
Robert E. Rieder. Some garden
ing advice published recently
has raised doubt in the minds of
a number of victory gardeners
as to whether they can grow po
tatoes without treating the seed.
If they, use good seed to start
with there is little to fear, says
Bieder.
The latest home garden sug
gestions on potalo growing just
put out by E. R. Jackman, ex
tension specialist in farm crops,
and O. T. McWhorter, extension
horticulturist, says that if a
home gardener does want to
treat a small amount of seed
potatoes, a material known as
Semesan vel is much easier to
use than the corrosive sublimate
treatment used by' commercial
growers. Directions are on the
container.
Potatoes grown from untreat
ed seed may not be so free from
scab and rizoctonla as treated
potatoes, but they will be edible
and will yield as well. If seed
potatoes are poor to start with,
no amount of treatment will
help much. Certified seed comes
from fields that are practically
free of disease,
Early potato varieties suggest
ed for Oregon home gardeners
are Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobb
ler, Early Rose, Earliest-of-All,
and White Rose, Suggested late
varieties are Burbank, Netted
Gem and Katahdin. -
Whole small seed potatoes
from certified stock are entirely
satisfactory to use while larger
Siberia
However, the Japanese were go
ing through motions designed
at least to stir up allied, suspi
cions that a Siberan attack may
be imminent thereby contri
buting to the war of nerves if
nothing else.
The desirability, from the
nazi standpoint, ot a Russo-Ja-pan
embroglio was never higher
than now when the Germans
are absorbed with trying to de
lay a second front in Europe or,
if that becomes impossible, ty
ing up Russia by some means
so they can divert the bulk of
their army westward.
If Japan attacked Siberia the
Russians presumably would be
forced to divert military power
eastward, enabling the nazis
either to pull out additional
troops from Russia or carry out
a new Russian offensive with
greater chances of success.
The Germans, it was believed,
might figure that a Siberian
front would influence the Unit
ed States to divert forces to
that theatre which otherwise
would be sent to Europe to help
create the second front.
Japanese conditions were
somewhat different but it was
assumed the German put Up to
Tokyo an argument somewhat
along these lilies:
It we nazis are knocked out,
the allies will combine their for
ces against Japan, probably
bringing in Russia. Therefore,
it is up to you Japanese to help
as much as you can.
.It probably also was pointed
out to Tokyo that Siberia con
tinues to be the major strategic
danger to Japan since it is the
only territory not held by Ja
pan which is close enough to

Farmers Advised
To Overhaul Trucks
All Marion county truck own
ers are being urged by the
Marion county farm transporta
tion committee to at once .take
measure lo overhaul their
trucks and place orders for new
repair parts they need before
the heavy harvest season ar
rives, according lo Robert E.
Rieder, secretary of the commit
tee. Many truck owners have al
ready found that Ihey have had
lo experience considerable de
lay in obtaining necessary re
pair parts and it. is not likely
Hint the situation will become
nny better with respect lo parts
for repair of trucks now in ope
ration on farms, or for repair
shops to obtain additional
mechanics If farm trucks are
lo be kept in operation during
the rush Harvest season, when a
slight delay would be very
critical, truck owners should at
once overhaul their trucks and
replaces parts which are worn
which likely might cause them
trouble during Ihe harvest season.
potatoes are cut so the pieces
will weigh Hi to 2 ounces. The
best plan is to cut them into
blocky shapes, as these have the
least amount of exposed cut sur
face. The home gardener is limited
in his choice of commercial fer
tilizer lo Ihe standard Victory
Garden 3-8-7 mixture. This can
be spread over the entire sur
face of the soil at the rate of
four pounds to the square rod
and worked in, or an ounce of
fertilizer may be placed near
but never against the seed piece
at planting time. It is best kept
two or three inches to one side
and preferably about an inch
deeper than the seed pieces.
Hunt Brothers
Correct Error
Hunt Brothers Packing com
pany here will continue to ope
rate under that name, states a
letter from Irving Goldfeder of
the San Francisco offices of
the-concern. . A misunderstand
ing arose when the company
registered with the county clerk
here recently the trade name of
Val Vita as the concern will
merchandise some of its pack
with the Val Vita label.
Mr. Goldfeder says in his let
ter: "We read your article stating
that Hunt Brothers Packing
company would hereafter do
business under the name of Val
Vita Food company, and wish
to correct this erroneous im
pression. "For your Information Hunt
Brothers Packing company of
San Francisco purchased the Val
Vita Food Products company,
Inc., of Fulierton, Calif., and all
future operations will be han
dled under the name of Hunt
Brothers Packing company.
Norton Simon, formerly presi
dent of Val Vita Food Products
Inc., has been elected president
of Hunt Brothers Packing com
pany. It is our definite inten
tion to operate both in Oregon
and Washington under the name
of Hunt Brothers Packing com
pany, and we have definite
plans now which will material
ize in the near future for ex
pansion in the northwest. We
did register the trade name of
Val Vita, as it is our intention
to label some of Ihe merchan
dise with the Val Vita label."

Flax Processing
Plant Assured
Jefferson, April 3 The San
tiam Flax Growers' association
announced this week that build
ing ot a flax processing plant
is assured and that a date has
been set to meet with govern
ment officials lo work out de
tails of building and land,
There will be no limit to the
size of the plant, which depends
on the numbers in the associa
tion and acreage signed. To
date, more than 1,000 acres
have been signed.
The government will buy the
land and build the plant, which
will include retting and scutch
ing the flax. A definite loca
tion has not as yet been an
nounced. The plant will lake care of
flax grown in Benton, Linn,
Polk and Marion counties.
Growers near Halsey, Sweet
Home, Lebanon, Salem, Inde
pendence, Corvallis and Jeffer
son will haul their flax to the
Jefferson plant.
Seed is being distributed
through the Marion-Linn Far
mers union warehouses at Jef
ferson. A meeting was held Monday
night at the schoolhouse and a
large group of farmers attend
ed. The board includes A. L.
Page of Jefferson, chairman;
Albert Harnisch ot Dever, Har
ry Asbahr of Corvallis, N. D.
Bradley, Charles Hart, E. B.
Henningsen and Harley Libby
of Jefferson. The latter was
elected to take the place of
Horner Davis, who resigned
when he moved out of the dis
trict. ,
The present certainty ot a
plant here is the outgrowth' of
work started December 29, 1941,
when articles and by-laws were
adopted and board members
named. This year the govern
ment is urging a plant be built
here instead of the farmers
petitioning for one.
