loss In Oregon from plant diseases
alone is six to ten million dollars.
Prof. Barss Is getting together In
formation on the crop losses in Ore

damage from diseases are requested

"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.
