MOW it's the hunting rush. 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.

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. Also Stamps now are on sale
at retail stores.

Washington, D. C, Sept. 25. 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.

Pamphlet Tells of New
Oregon Farm Progress
Accomplishments of Oregon farm
ers in adjusting to income-increas-'
ing and soil-conserving methods of
farming, using the "blueprints" de-
l(fpei by the land use planning
committees and the "tools" supplied
by the AAA farm program, is the
subject of a pamphlet just issued
by the extension service and the
state AAA office, entitled "Better
Farming in Oregon." The pamphlet
is being distributed at county fairs
throughout the state this fall.
Principal agricultural problems
and progress toward their solution
in the Columbia basin wheat coun
try, the central Oregon range coun
try, the Willamette valley, and the
coast area are described briefly in
the pamphlet.
