And, too, truckloads of lambs coming from the rolling south hills on their way to market. It's these, now, that add impressiveness to the importance of the timbered hinterland to all of Morrow county. In telling of the case of the Wil low creek road, upon which im provement is being sought, this col umn last week emphasized the tim ber crop that is beginning to be harvested, and which will keep the large logging trucks rolling down the creek road for many years. That is cause for additional emphasis at thia time. But timber alone is only one of many resources to be en couraged by the road's development. We now see hundreds of hunting cars traversing the road into the timbered southland. These cars are not deterred in their determined quest for elusive deer whose num bers increase despite continued in roads. Hundreds more cars could be attracted, with game still aplenty. The annual deer and elk hunts are but one feature of the big mountain area's recreational ad vantages. Camping in the cool shade along some secluded rivulet is a pleasure that would be douly en joyed with access to the region bet tered a pleasure that would en courage health habits among many more people and assist in building morale. (Close contact with nature has always been urged by professors of physical culture.) The educational advantages, too, are not to be denied. The oppor tunity to visit more frequently and to study more intensely a wonderful flora and fauna of the oldest region above water, geologically, probably in the entire United States, is cer tainly to be encouraged. There are mineral resources, too, bearing more closely upon the econ omic picture, which might be speed ed in development as the region attains the public patronage to which it is entitled. Coal, for instance, has .most surely been uncovered, with enough evidence to substantiate a demand for new investigation of possibilities. If not of commercial value as a fuel, it could well be valuable for processing into chemi cals, with coming of enlarged hydro--electric facilities close at hand. AH these things have a bearing Upon the importance of the Willow creek road. For, as history has shown, good roads lead to rather than follow development. News report from Del Rio, Texas, tells of Dr. John R. Brinkley, bank rupt. In federal court, Dr. Brinkley revealed that he was down to his last four automobiles, with creditors claims amounting to $1,625,565. The good doctor of radio fame cut a big swath for a time, anyway.

Oregon to Share National Drive For "War Foods" More eggs, more milk, more beef and veal, and more farm gardens will be Oregon's principal part in agriculture's all-out mobilization for defense in 1942, according to Robert B. Taylor of Pendleton, chairman of the Oregon USDA agricultural defense board. Oregon's production goals, brought back from an eleven state confer ence of farmers and farm leaders at Salt Lake City last week, have been reviewed and accepted by the state defense board, Taylor said. Within the next two weeks, a statewide drive will be launched to marshall the state's productive strength be hind the program. "Oregon agriculture has been giv en its biggest job, and we must de liver," Taylor declared. "With the assurance of Secretary Wickard that achieving these production goals is just aa important to the nation as building tanks and planes, I am con fident that our Oregon farmers will get the job done." Program leaders will now break down the state goals into county figures after which a farm-to-farm drive will be made to get the in creases promised on a voluntary basis. An 11 percent increase in milk production is asked from this state in 1942, or an increase from 1,431, 000,000 pounds to 1,589,000,000 pounds. Most of this increase must come from increasing production of present dairy herds. Other import ant state goals and the percentages of increase over this year's produc tion are as follows: Eggs, 32,853,000 dozen, up 12 per cent; beef cattle and calves, market ing and farm slaughter, 280,088,000 pounds, 22 per cent increase; hogs, marketing and farm slaughter, 66, 538,000 pounds, a decrease of 5 per cent; sheep and lambs, 61,250,000 pounds, down 1 per cent; corn, 65, 000 acres, up 7 per cent; oats, 330,- 000 acres, same as 1941; barley, 170,-! 000 acres, a 15 per cent decrease. All hay, 1,007,000 acres, same as 1941; wheat 756,000 acres (official allotment), a 10 per cent decrease; rye, 42,000 acres, down 20 per cent; flax for seed, 5000 acres, up 150 per cent; green peas for processing, 35,- J 000 acres, up 11 per cent; snap beans for processing,' 3300 acres, up 6 per cent; farm gardens,' an increase from 43,034 to 59,500; commercial vegetables for fresh use, 40,700 acres, up 2 Vz per cent. Oats, hay, and Ir ish potatoes are the same as in 1940. "DEFENSE "BOND itl''''illitlIIIMIIII'tlllilllltitll'llltlllttlliltMltllitlllfllllllllhHllllllllHIIIII $ J $ $ $ $ Q. Do the retail stores receive any fee or percentage for the sale of Stamps? A. No. The retail stores are offering their facilities as a patriotic serv ice, just as banks, savings and ' loan associations, and others are giving their help in the sale of Defense Bonds. Q. How can I form the thrift habit necessary for me to buy many Defense Bonds now, to help the Government? A. The easiest way is to instruct your employer or banker to hold back a small fraction of your salary or other income. Even 10 cents a day and a dollar on your birth day will mount up in one year to . $37.50, the purchase price of a $50 Defense Bond. Bigger sav ings buy bigger bonds. NOTE: To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post offioe or bank, or write for Information to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C.

The there is iron ore in Oregon, in the vicinity of Scappoose, Columbia county, was demonstrated years ago when the ore was used in the opera tion of the old furnace in Oswego. The extent of this ore deposit and its commercial value has never been learned, but with the discussion of a steel plant in the state, Senator McNary has started the slow mov ing wheels of government to find out. Congress appropriated a few hun dred thousand dollars to look into iron ore deposits, but this money has been used in Colorado and Cal ifornia until this sum has been al most exhausted. In talking with senators in charge of the investiga tion, McNary was informed that the inquiry can be carried into Oregon if a little more money is made avail able, and the senator is arranging for that. In writing to Dr. Nixon, of the Oregon bureau of mines, Senator McNary suggests that a comprehen sive survey be made of the lower Columbia river and to follow the belt which extends to Liberty, Mar ion county. The Polk county hills, as the red soil is known, runs from Marion county through Chehalem hills to the known iron deposits in Columbia and part of Clatsop county. This will be the first gen eral study ever made of iron ore deposits in Oregon.
