"LET MACHINERY DO IF NEW SLOGAN FOR FARMER Labor Shortage Calls for Much Wider Use of Improved Farm Machin ery on Oregon Farms. Corvallls, Ore., Jan. 15. It's al ways handy to have some one or something to pass the buck to in time of trouble, and farm machinery is looked to as the goat by go-ahead far mers in many parts of Oregon. Big ger crops than ever before with scar cer and higher priced labor than ever before quite evidently can be raised in no other way. Tractors for plowing and harrow ing, combines for harvesting and threshing the grain crops, and bulk elevators for handling the grain, are the types most counted on for doing the work of the farm help called to the trenches or other lines of service. Milking machines are also being in troduced in large numbers into the dairy districts of the State. Farm tractor dealers put 21 tract ors, big and little, into the Farmers Week demonstrations at the College, in elvo farmers a. chance to see and study them and pick out the ones best nltnd In their uses. This indicates the strength of the demand they ex pect. The College farm mechanics department Is conducting a" four week tractor course, to train farmers and farm help In using and caring for the big machines. If the farmers would all double their poultry production, every fami ly In the United States could be eat ing poultry two or three times a week and eggs every day, says Prof. Dry dn of O. A. C, and enough red meat would be saved to make up the meat shortage to every one of the ten mil lion allied soldiers fighting for the country. Not all farmers could make a profit, but many could, and patriot Ism may be sufficient reward, any how, i Rev. GeorEe B. VanWaters, Epis copal missionary, held services for his church in Heppner on Sundey last, preaching at the church both morn ing and evening.
