OREGON FARMERS
PLEDGE ALL-OUT
AID FOR VICTORY
Now that America is at war,
achievement of the production goals
under the food for freedom now
"food for victory" program has be
come doubly important, said Robert
B. Taylor of Adams, chairman of the
state USDA" agricultural defense
program, in calling on Oregon farm
ers to turn pledged increases in
production into actual production of
more eggs, more milk, more pork
and more marketing of beef cattle.
Results of the statewide farm-to-farm
signup recently conducted by
AAA committmeemen show that Or
egon fanners have "oversubscribed"
the original production goals under
the farm defense program, planning
more than their share of the in
creased production. But with the
nation actually at war, some of
these original goals may even be re
vised to meet the increased needs,
said Taylor.
As shown in the signup results,
expected 1942 production of the
three most important commodities,
milk, eggs and pork, ' well exceeds
the original goals, the defense board
chairman announced. An eleven per
cent increase in milk production
was sought and brought a response
of a 19 per cet increase planned. The
promised increase in egg production
is 38 per cent.
Increases in 1942 production over
1941 pledged in the Oregon farm
signup, covering 95 per cent of the
state's farmland, were announced by
Christmas Telephone
Congestion Predicted
Predicted jams of long distance
calls on Christmas eve and day may
cause delays up to several hours, it
was announced today by J. R. Far
rington, manager of The Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company,
who suggested that telephone users
here make any planned long dis
tance calls for holiday greetings ear
ly next week.
'Although preparation has been
under way for weeks by the tele
phone company to handle a maxi
mum number of Christmas! long dis
tance calls placed by Heppner peo
ple, the general rush this year is
expected to exceed all past records.
Use the G-T want ads for results.
Taylor as follows:
Cows milked, 18 per cent; milk
production, 19 per cent; hogs mar
keted, 38 per cent eggs, 36 per cent;
beef cattle marketed, 12 per cent;
sheep, 10 per cent; corn, 7 per cent;
barley, 61 per cent rye, 17 per cent;
hay, 9 per cent; sugar beets, 31 per
cent; dry beans, 63 per cent; fiber
flax, 15 per cent; seed flax, 10 per
cent; ryegrass for seed, 18 per cent;
winter legumes for seed, 33 per cent;
perennial grass seed, 49 per cent;
farm gardens, 11 per cent.
Meanwhile the extension service
of O. S. C. is marshalling every re
source to assist farmers in meeting
the emergency conditions. Educa
tional service will be centered on
the war production program this
winter.

HORSES, MULES OF MILITARY .
ACE TO BE REGISTERED
Continued from First Page
agents will consolidate and forward
this information. In counties not
having county agents, horse and
mule owners may report direct to
the Western Remount Area, 72-3rd
Avenue. San Mateo, California. - It
is requested all animals be register
ed by January 10, 1942.
It is desired to emphasize that this
is not a draft of animal resources
and that it seems most unlikely this
will ever be necessary. When horses
or mules are needed they will be
purchased. Prompt registration of
animals of a useful military age is
simply a most desirable step in our
defense preparations. Registration
of animals at this time is voluntary
but obviously a patriotic obligation..
