End of Salvage Campaigns Dated Bulletins were mailed Tuesday night to all volunteer salvage committee« of Oregon, advising them that the WPB Salvage Di vision and the office of the Execu tive Secretary would close down September 30, Claude I. Sersan- ous, chairman of the Oregon State Salvage committee, announced to day. ' , S^rsanous »aid since the office of the Executive Secretary would cease a« of September 30, it is his belief that termination of service for Oregon’s volunteer salvage committees could be expected as of the same date. Meanwhile, all committees are being asked to move existing ac cumulations of prepared tin cans and paper to consuming industries he asserted. Sersaoous said that the termination of volunteer sal vage committee activities does not mean the end of need for salvage materials and that any groups desiring to continue collections should make arrangements, in ad vance, for proper disposal to deal ers and consumers.

Thia is based on the assumption Chat a t ’ least one bushel will be kept to seed each of the 120,000 to 126,000 ac- res for the 1946 crop. There were 120,496 acres in crop this year af- ter all the figures were m.

The post-war outlook for Ore- gon farmers is relatively bright since there has been little dialo- cation of established, sound, long- time plans, according to Frank L. Ballard, associate director of the OSC extension service. “Except for a temporarily ex- jianded wheaF acreage, and Bonii intensified acreages of processing crops, Oregon farmers in their wartime accomplishments haven’t seriously dislocated the historical agricultural balance of the state,” said Ballard. “Right now many producers of badly needed food crops are strug- gling with a harvest problem in- tensified somewhat by an under* standable Bttt regrettable let down N 6 W AfifCDCV I RK6S by some helpers who literally w * saved the day throughout the war A 1J A A A years.
