Page Three Illinois Valley News, Thursday, April 8, 1913 SPRING MATERIAL FOUND ADEQUATE Those of our readers who have come to believe that clothing was going to be as scarce as ham. can take heart to some extent. The 1 News has just been told that Mrs. | Vella Hayes, buyer for the Gold­ en Rule store in Grants Pass, has 1 just returned from a buying trip to I.os Angeles and San Francisco, and she reports that spring and . summer merchandise is now com­ I ing in, and the Golden Rule is get­ ting its share of this valuable mer­ chandise. Ready-to-wear togs and other goods are coming through some­ what better than was supposed to be the case, and while quantity is still not what the store would like to have, nevertheless, they will be able to take care of the r custom­ ers in a satisfactory way for all , concerned. The new merchandise ing, and while not up to the high arriving is snappy and good look­ standards of other years, is quite remarkable in its texture. - ------------o------------- Less Red Tape Now for (Jetting Farm Materials •ALMANAC*: Farmers will get quick action on applications for materials and fa­ cilities needed for production as a result of the recent decentraliza- tion of war production board auth. ority, believes R. B Taylor, chair- man of Oregon’s USDA war board. Applications for on-farm con­ struction will continue to be filed with county USDA war boards, but final approval will be given by WPB regional offices instead of at Washington. DC. Farmers’ ap­ plications for copper wire and other materials under priorities will be filed with the Portland war production board office. A sup­ porting statement from the county war board to accompany such ap­ plications may help, though this is not required. No priorities are needed to pur- chase repair parts for farm ma­ chinery and equipment, Taylor re­ minded. ------------- o------------- Remember Bataan Intest Mis. E. J.

Crawford One serving of steamer mustard or turnip greens furnishes more than the daily requirement of a hard-working man or woman for Vitamin A. Vitamin A is espe­ cially helpful in spring to de­ velop resistance and to prevent nutritional night blindness in these days of dim-outs. This simple food is ready now to be pulled from many Oregon fields and gar­ dens. Wash, trim and cook by steaming, wilting or boiling. Be­ sides Vitamin A. one serving of steamed mustard or turnip greens will provide about of the day's need for iron and Vitamin C which are especially scarce in these days of meat shortages, and of few freshly grovfn vegetables. Other native greens that are in edible condition now in Western Oregon are dandelion, false dande­ lion or Chinese lettuce, Indian let­ tuce and curly dock. All are high in food values and recommended as "spring tonics”. As an aid in identifying these and several oth­ er edible wild greens, illustrated circular HE ", “Wild Plants Eat­ en as Greens,” is available at the county extension office, free of charge. Those who are fortunate enough to secure some of the scarce spring run of salmon or other fish may be interested in the following bul­ letins as an aid in preserving them for meat rationed days: Extension Bulletin 596—Can­ ning, Drying and Salting. Extension Bulletin ing. Extension Bulletin <>00—Curing Meats and Fish. These publications request from the Home Demon­ stration Agent.
