The Oregon State Grange recently has pointed out
that few of us realize the importance of “victory gar­
dens” as a war effort, and too much complacency has
resulted from food surpluses of past years. It has been
pointed out that the staggering demands placed upon
this country by the allies can quickly undermine the
food surpluses, particularly since the farmers may face
serious handicaps such as labor shortage, shortage of
farm machinery and equipment and other vital mater­
ials such as fertilizers and sprays.
In support of the garden movement, a state commit­
tee has been organized which is releasing valuable in­
formation upon the production of vegetables adaptable
to the Pacific Northwest. The committee thus plans to
keep the movement practical and avoid any excited
hysteria to dig up lawns, golf courses and flower gar­
dens. That kind of a program would result in wasted
effort and materials and would do much to discourage
next year’s efforts.
Whatever extra food can be produced in family
gardens will release just that much more of the canned
goods which is a necessity for the military services and
for shipment to our allies. Thus the garden program
provides another important civilian defense activity in
which most of us may participate.

THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA—
HOW TO RESPECT AND DISPLAY IT
1 ------ When flags of states or
eities or pennants of societies at«
flown on the same halyard with
the flag of the United States of
America, the latter should al­
ways be at the peak.
When
flown from adjacent staffs the
flag of the United States should
be hoisted first and lowered last.
2 ------ When displayed with an­
other flag against a wall from
crossed staffs, the Flag of the
United States should be on the
right (the flag’s own right), and
its staff should be in front of
the staff of the other flag.
3 ------ When used on a speaker’s
platform, whether indoors or out,
the flag should never bo reduced
to the role of a mere decoration
by being tied into knots or
draped over the stand. For this
purpose bunting should be used.
The flag, if displayed, should be
•ither on a staff or secured to the
wall or back curtain behind the
speaker with the union to the
flag’s right
The non-controversial title, “Rivers and Harbors
Improvement,” is today being used to camouflage a
number of costly proposed projects which, in reality,1
would do little to improve navigation in this country,
and which would do much to harm basic industries on
which we depend for victory in this war.
The largest rivers and harbors bill in this country’s
history, involving initial expenditures of close to
51,000.000,000, will soon be debated in Congress. That1
bill would provide $277,000.000 to start the St. Law- ‘
rence waterway project—a project which could not be
completed for four or five years; which would go a
long way toward disrupting such essential industries
as coal, power and land transport, and which would.
take tremendous quantities of materials, money and j
labor needed for vital and immediate defense work
right now.
It would provide almost $198,000,000 for the Flor-I
ida Ship Canal—a project which competent engineers ■
regard as impractical in the extreme.
So it goes, down a long list. The billion dollars this I
bill proposes for undertakings which are largely de-1
structive and unnecessary, would provide for 4,300,000 i
soldiers. It would buy 12,350,000 Garand rifles. It |
would build 14,600 medium tanks. It would build 7,300 j •
light bombers. It would build 20 superdreadnaughts.
Those are the purposes for which every possible dollar

Government public relations men have begun show­
ing concern over public apathy toward the war. One
reason for this lack of enthusiasm recently was sug­
gested by news commentators, Pearson and Allen, who
pointed out that the public had not been given all the
hard facts—“....too great a feeling of optimism was
radiated from high places immediately after Pearl
Harbor , . . and the public has not been given any real
idea of how devastating were the losses at Pearl Har­
bor.” The British government has maintained unity
only by giving the public the cold hard facts—the
American public also can take it.

strangely enough, every farm in the
country has available for its usej
machinery that can add many min­

work so much more effectively and
so much more quickly than it can
be done by the old-fashioned meth­
ods of our fathers and grandfa­
thers.
Those machines are making sev­
eral vitally important contributions
to the nation's welfare.

4------ When flags of two or
more nations are displayed to­
gether they should be flown from
separate staffs of the same height
and the flags should be of ap­
proximately equal size.
3 ■ When the flag is dis­
played in a manner other than
by being flown from a staff, it
should be displayed flat, whether
indoors or out When displayed
either horizontally or vertically
against a wall, the union should
be uppermost and to the flag *

Whenever a number of
flags of states or eities or pen­

ranged in a group and displayed
from staffs with the flag of the
United States the latter should
bo placed at the center of that
group and on a staff slightly
higher than any of the others.

Because of a certain shortage of
farm equipment during the coming
season, all of our agricultural
agencies have been urging the far­

and get repairs done without delay
This is mighty good advice, and it
applies with equal force io other

barn, the granery—every place

A brighter outlook for obtaining
enough harvest machinery and ir­
rigation pumping equipment to
meet Oregon needs this year is
reported by F E Price, agricul­
tural engineer at Oregon State
college, who recently returned
from Washington, where he joined
representatives from other west-
ern states in presenting the needs
of this region to the war produc-
lions board and other agencies
