Individual farmers must place or-
dem immediately if they expect the
priorities board to release the raw
material necessary for manufacture
of new farm machinery badly needed
for the 1942 harvest, This is the gist
of the information received by J.J,
Inskeep secretary of the Clackamas
county agricultural defense board as
the result of the county boards ap­
peal to the state board for clarifi­
cation of the situation regarding the
prospective iarm machinery shortage.
Because of the immense new acre,
age of seed crops planted at the re­
quest of the U. S. department of ag­
riculture the situation in the Wil­
lamette valley is especially serious.
Priorities for farm machinery will
not be given to individual farmers
according to the state board and if
farm orders are not received imme­
diately the equipment manufacturers
will have little basis for requesting
the release of steel and other raw
materials necessary for fabricating
new machinery.
In accordance with this informat­
ion Glenn Cumberland chairman of
Clackamas county’s agricultural de­
fense board issued an urgent appeal
for cooperation from every farmer
in the county to canvass his require­
ments and to place his orders imme.
diately .
