Official Paper for Morrow County
The Die is Cast
A MERICANS may have their petty
differences, but when it comes to
major issues they show a united
front. So it is with the present war
crisis.
With passage of the lease-lend bill
and signing by the president this
week, those who opposed principles
of the measure rushed their support
of the president in the large task
that has been given him.
There never was a doubt that Am
erica would aid Britain. Sentiment
for this was preponderant over the
entire nation. Now the way has been
cleared to do a good job of it, and
the president is entitled to unani
mity of support. America will not
fail.
Britain as already reacted favor
ably to America's action. The axis
powers are showing indignation, and
Hitler may make dire threats. But
when America really concentrates
on a problem, America produces.
At the time the United States cast
hef lot with the allies in the last
great war, Germany did not believe
it possible for America to put a mil
lion soldiers on the battlefields of
France within a year. But America
did it. This time America will set
new records in the production of
munitions which will turn the tide
of war against foreign dictatorships.
The task will call for sacrifice.
A heavier tax burden than was ever
carried by the American people be
fore will soon be borne with a de
termination that human rights and
liberties shall be protected.
In Morrow county the new order
is expressed in ordnance depot and
bombing field. These are part of the
big task that is moving fast toward
accomplishment. The die is now
cast, and America will respond with
an all-moving spirit.

Good Food Gives
Vitamins Better
Than Store Pills
Much of the hundred million dol
lars spent each year for "drugstore
vitamins could far more profitably
be used for improving the diet by
the addition of foods that supply
both vitamins and other food ele
ments, according to nutrition spe
cialists who took part in the elev
enth annual Home Interests confer
ence held at Oregon State college.
The current craze for obtaining
vitamins in pills was discussed . at
length and it was generally agreed
that this causes a waste of money
at best, and frequently does not ac
complish the end sought There are
now at least 20 different vitamins
known to science, and all are neces
sary in the diet in varying amounts.
Ten of these are now obtainable in
pure form.
One speaker pointed to the ab
surdity of anyone expecting to sup
ply himself with the proper amounts
of all of these in pill form. Even
nutrition specialists do not yet know
how much of the various vitamins is
needed, nor to what extent excessive
amounts of some may be harmful.
Certainly vitamin concentrates are
not a substitute for a good diet, and
it was further agreed that those
whose present diets are deficient are
the least able to purchase the ra
thei' expensive vitamin concentrates.
All the speakers on this subject ag
reed that the concentrated vitamins
are a valuable addition to modern
life for use in research and for the
prevention or cure of certain well
defined deficiency diseases.
They are also valuable for use
with the diets of infants or young
children under many conditions. In
all cases, however, the vitamins are
properly given under the direction
or advice of a physician, or at least
one well trained in the field of nu
trition. Where used as a "shotgun pre
scription for what ails you" vitamin
concentrates are little better than
the old patent medicines even tho
highly valuable when properly used,
Water Prospects
Not So Favorable
Throughout State
An unusually dry February in
Oregon even while California was
being deluged has changed the ir
rigatidn water picture for this state
materially in the past month, ac
cording to the March report of wa
ter prospects issued by Arch Work
of Medford. The snow surveys and
water forecasts are sponsored coop
eratively in this state by the Soil
Conservation service and the state
college experiment station.
Unless conditions as to snow cover
and prospective runoff improve more
during March than is to be expected,
a late season water shortage in some
sections of the state could occur,
says Work.
Considering all storage reservoirs
together, the amount of water now
in storage is greater than last year
at this time, but fewer reservoirs are
half full or better than for several
years. In other words, some of the
larger ones are well filled now, but
the condition is not general
Looking at the state by regions,
it appears that the most shortage in
prospect now is in northeastern Ore
gon, with some in southern Oregon
and the central Cascades. South
eastern Oregon and the south central
basin around Klamath Falls are in
pretty good shape, says Work.
This preliminary summary of con
ditions is not intended as a final
forecast, by any means, as condi
tions may change in the next month.
More Crop Reduction, 100 Pet. Parity Price
Head Recommendations for County
Last week the Gazette Times pub
lished the report of the land use
committee adopted at the recent
county farm economic conference.
Herewith is given the report of the
crops committee. The livestock and
rural home life committee reports
will be given in later issues.
1. This committee calls attention
to the fact that Oregon has received
a larger reduction in wheat acreage
than most other states and we rec
ommend that we go along with the
AAA program and reduce more if
necessary to cope with the present
emergency, but that national and
exporting countries and that special
study be given to the importing of
produce into the United States
which will least injure our agricul
ture. 4. Relative to the standardizing of
wheat varieties we recommend the
continued use of the variety Rex as
a." winter wheat because of its smut
resistance and ability to yield well,
and further recommend that steps
be taken to encourage millers to
change their machinery so that they
may more easily bolt Rex. We fur
ther recommend that an educational
program be launched to inform the
state acreages be reexamined by the consumer of the vitamin advantages
AAA and that Oregon and Morrow
county be called upon for no more
acreage reduction until other states
reduce to a like extent.
2. Because of the increased de
mand for labor that the prepared
ness program will create, this com
mittee further recommends a 100
percent parity price for all farm pro
duce so that farm laborers may be
paid wages comparable to those re
ceived on defense jobs and thus
avoid a shortage of farm labor.
3. This committee recommends
that there be a continuation of re
ciprocal trade agreements between
of bread made from Rex flour.
5. Oro and Rio varieties of Turkey
are further recommended in place of
the old varieties of Turkey.
6. White Federation is highly rec
ommended as a spring wheat for
this area.
7. Recognizing the seriousness of
the Morning Gory problem in this
county, our committee recommends
to the County Court that Morning
Glory control be enforced under the
weed district laws and that appro
priations be made to cooperate with
the farmers on the control of these
weeds.
it was said. Many of the conditions
they are used to cure could easily
have been prevented by wise selec
tionof food, it was agreed.

Poultry Breeder
Hailed World Leader
Oregon State College J. A. Han
son, noted leghorn breeder of Cor
vallis, whose eggs and breeding stock
have been shipped to 32 countries
throughout the world, was the hon
or guest at the twelfth annual Ag
ricultural club banquet held here.
Hanson was introduced by William
A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of
agriculture, as probably the out
standing poultry breeder in the
world in the field of breeding for
high production.
Starting when the first 300-egg
hen produced by Oregon State col
lege was a world marvel, Hanson
has developed a flock which last
year contained 385 hens that each
laid 300 eggs or more. His highest
producing hen laid 360 eggs in the
year.
E. B. McNaughton, chairman of
the Oregon economic council, was
the principal speaker at the ban
quet, outlining the kind of training
required to meet the problems loom
ing ahead in the world. He decried
the current seeking after security on
the part of young people, and urged
instead full use of opportunity.
Mr. and Mrs. T. Babb were week
end business visitors from their new
home at Oak Grove where Mr. Babb
is supervising the construction of a
new residence.
