Wanda Howell Named
To Attend Confab
Wanda Howell, student at Hepp
ner high school, has been chosen as
delegate to the seventeenth annual
Oregon State High School Press As
sociation conferences to be held in
Eugene, Friday and Saturday, Octo
ber 24 and 25, at the University of
Oregon school of journalism.
The conference will open Friday
with round-table discussion of spe
cialized phases of journalism. To
offer a broad but comprehensive
view of journalism is the main pur
pose of this meeting, according to
the sponsors of the conference, the
school of journalism, University of
Oregon.
The program is divided into four
sections: Business managers, news
and editorial staffs, mimeographed
newspapers, and editors and mana
gers of high school annuals. Friday
evening all the delegates will attend
a banquet with Dean Eric W. Allen
acting as toastmaster.
Speakers and discussion leaders
will include members of journalism
faculty, present and former editors
and managers of high school news
papers, and a number of outside
speakers. While attending the con
ference the delegates will be enter
tained by living organizations on the
campus, and journalism honorary
societies.
Present officers of the association
are Thornbury Kinersly, The Dalles,
president; Peggy Wright, Springfield,
secretary (both of these students are
now freshmen in the school of jour
nalism); and Gloria Green, vice
president from Oregon City.
Prepare Now for
Machinery Lack,
Is Farm Advice
Faced with a possible shortage of
farm machinery for next year, and
inability to get prompt delivery of
repairs, Oregon farmers are being
advised by Robert Taylor of Adams,
chairman of the state UJ3.D.A. agri
cultural defense board to make plans
now to foresee their 1942 equipment
requirements.
The days when a grower can rush
to town and buy a new piece of
equipment, or even get the right re
placement part on a moment's notice,
are probably over for the duration
of the emergency, says Taylor. On
the other hand, the government is
making every effort to see that
needed farm machinery and repairs
are provided for as adequately as
possible through favorite priorities.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 16. Some'
idea of what the future has in store
may be glimpsed from the ultimat
um of SPAB which holds from non
defense needs a long list of mater
ials. It is a drastic order, full of
significance that will not be fully
realized for a few months. SPAB
is preparing for a long war and
hoarding for defense every ounce of
metal that can possibly be spared.
The salvation of Oregon is that most
of the large projects, such as recla
mation, have been given a defense
status. '
Neither progress on Deschutes re
clamation project nor Willamette
valley project will be affected, as
matters stand. But no more recla
mation projects will be started until
after the war. Following OPM's dic
tum, the director of the budget has
turned his face against harbor de
velopment and has turned down, as
a sample, proposed improvement of
Yaquina bay. There will be nothing
new on the Oregon coast and there
may be some curtailment of main
tenance work, although army engin
eers in charge of navigation will
fight for dredging and keeping riv
ers and harbors from shoaling. This
will be necessary because of the
fleet of navy shore boats which will
be stationed on the west coast and
must have access to the harbors.
The lid is clamped1 down, or will
be, on highway construction. OPM
says to hold back road work until
the next depression. However, mil
itary roads will not be interfered
with. Funds will be made available
to wipe out bottlenecks on the Pa
cific highway and possibly The Dal
les-California highway, and some
means of crossing Columbia river
without going to Vancouver in order
to use Evergreen highway on the
Washington shore. Improvement of
bridges on military roads to sustain
the weight of 60-ton tanks will be
undertaken, although only the first
of these tanks (make 2 miles an
hour) has been delivered to the ar
my. Materials for these military
roads are strictly defense, but for
other roads no material will be per
mitted. OPM has upped the price of zinc,
which will cost the government mil
lions of dollars more a year in brass
for shell casings. For a trifle of the
added sum the government must
pay, OPM could recommend devel
opment of zinc ores in the Oregon
area. All efforts to convince OPM
consultants that Oregon can produce
thousands of tons of zinc and thus
materially aid the defense program
have failed. There are three dis
tricts in western Oregon which are
potential large producers and re
quire only $1,500,000 for a smelter.
The new aluminum plants in Ore
gon and Washington will not be in
a productive stage until next spring.
Meanwhile, the Truman senate com
mittee investigating defense costs is
after Jesse H. Jones, secretary of
commerce and head of RFC, and
wants to know all the particulars of
his contract with the Aluminum
Company of America (plant at Van
couver, Wash.) which Senator Tru
man has declared the "rottenest"
contract the government has ever
made. This contract and collateral
matters dealing with aluminum will
be thoroughly aired before the com
mittee finishes its probe.
Dr. Paul J. Raver, Bonneville ad
ministrator, has been given class A
priority for copper transmission lines
to the plants at Tacoma, Spokane
and Troutdale. Heretoore he has
used only aluminum wire, as it was
cheaper and lighter than copper, but
aluminum is now needed for bomb
ers and intercepter planes. Copper
is scarce, too, but if OPM wants
aluminum it must see that Bonne
ville has copper.
Oregon came within a ace of being
deprived of the aluminum and fab
ricating plants and all that saved
this new industry was an ultimatum
Oregon
Many Seed Make Dry
Land Lawns Possible
Oregon produces such a variety of
grass seed that species are available
that do very well in establishing
lawns in areas where no irrigation
water is available, points out Harry
A. Schoth, federal agronomist at Or
egon State college.
The kind of grass to plant in such
a situation depends somewhat on
soil conditions and other factors. For
a soil that gets exceptionally dry
and warm during the summer mon
ths Schoth recommends the use of
either standard or Fairaway crested
wheat grass. The Fairaway has a
somewhat lower and spreading
growth habit.
A combination of Fairaway crest
ed wheat and bulbous blue grass
may be an improvement over crest
ed wheat grass alone, says Schoth,
because bulbous blue grass makes a
growth during the fall, winter, and
early spring, when crested wheat is
more or less dormant. Where water
is available for irrigation east of the
Cascades, Kentucky blue grass is one
of the most satisfactory, although
creeping red fescue or chewing fes
cue may be used successfully, Schoth
adds.
In buying lawn grass' of any kind
it is safest to buy according to the
name of the grass desired, as lawn
grass mixtures seldom contain the
sorts best adapted to specific loca
tions. from Senator McNary that they must
be located in Oregon. Plans were
to give them to Washington.
There is a determined fight in the
house committee on agriculture to
amend the farm credit law, a re
quirement of which is that when a
farmer borrows he must subscribe
a percent of his loan for stock in
the organization. In effect it is the
same as paying a commission for the
loan and has never been popular
with farmers. The committee is con
ducting hearings on a proposal to do
away with this compulsory sub
scription for stock.
Spokesmen for western states far
mers have come to Washington to
meet with representatives from oth
er sections to outline a campaign
against having a ceiling placed on
farm products, as is recommended
by the price control officer. Origin
ally, farm prices and wages were
not contemplated in the program,
but there is now demand for a lid
on farm products although, not
touching wages. Farm representa
tives have made a canvass of house
and senate members and are provid
ing the farm bloc with arguments
to be used in debate. Practically ev
ery member from Idaho, Oregon and
Washington wants as little restric
tion on farmers as possible.

Oregon College of Education,
Monmouth. An enrollment of 340 .
students completed the total regis
tration for the fall term at the Ore
gon College of Education. Although
this is a decrease of approximately
12 per cent, the lowered enrollment
can be expected because of the with
drawal of many people, particularly
men students into the army and into
better paying fields. A large num
ber of the new students are trans
fers from other colleges. Morrow
