You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

posedly in an effort to secure execu

ernor so far has indicated no inten

imposed by the courts.
A request for the purchase of a
milking machine for Hillcrest farm
formerly the Industrial School for
Girls failed to receive the "okeh"
of the board of contr6l this week.
State Treasurer Leslie M. Scott, a
member of the board, said that he
could not see that milking cows
could do girl inmates of the institu
tion any harm, especially since thou
sands of women and girls on Oregon
farms are doing similar chores.
Interest earnings of the Unem
ployment Compensation commis
sion's trust fund now amount to
nearly $1000 a year. The commis
sion's reserve fund, totalling $14,
690,837 is deposited with the U. S.
treasury where i draws interest at
the rate of 2V2 percent a year. So
far this year the fund has earned
more than $220,000 in interest and
these earnings are expected to pass
the $300,000 mark by the end of the
year.

The state forestry department an
nounces that it has 2,250,000 forest
tree seedlings in its forest nursery
available for distribution to Oregon
farmers and for reforestation pro
jects in state forests. While the work
of the forest nursery is given over
largely to the production of Doug
las fir and Port Orford cedar seed
lings there are also a number of
other trees available including west
ern red cedar, Ponderosa pine, Aus
trian pine, Scotch pine, cluster pine,
Chinese arborvitae, Norway spruce,
European larch, black locust, Rus
sian olive, Chinese elm, caragama
and cascara.
Western Oregon will be treated to
a mild sample of the kind of warfare
the civilian populations of warring
Europe are undergoing next week
when some 50 bombers and 100 pur
suit planes take part in a test of
the aircraft warning system of the
civilian defense organization.
Instead of the deadly bombs be

however, these planes will drop only
flare bombs, that is if they manage

Six cities have already advised
Civilian Defense Coordinator Jer

serve "black outs" the night of Oc

end. These include Portland, Hills

W. H. Crawford, director of the
Oregon Economic Council, express
es confidence that small industries
are to be accorded immediate rec
ognition in the national defense pro

encies entrusted with the placing of
defense orders have given assurance
that future defense contracts will be
so distributed as to keep small plants
operating, Crawford said.
Oregon's 74 state and national
banks reported deposits of $489,343,
974.31 on September 24, at the time
of the last bank call. This figure,
according to A. A. Rogers, state su
perintendent of banks, sets a new
all-time high for Oregon bank de
posits. Oregon truck operators simply re
fuse to take "no" for an answer. In
spite of the fact that the legislature
last winter turned an emphatic
thumbs down on their request for
longer trucks and heavier loads the
operators continue to petition the
highway commission to grant per
mits covering the use of the larger
vehicles. State officials appear to be
agreed that the situation is not one
over which the highway commission
has any control in view of statute
limiting truck lengths to 50 feet and
truck loads to 54,000 pounds.
Use of racing funds allocated to
the counties must be limited to the
financing of county fairs and can not
be diverted to other purposes, ac
cording to Attorney General I. H.

Traffic accidents in Oregon cost
the state $50,000,000 a year, accord

who has urged motorists to "start

to reduce the state's trafic toll.
