"SPAB is putting the people back
upon their feet with a bang. No
more new cars, no more new tires
for private passenger cars. The pri
vate cars will roll along for a year
on the present tires; can use re
treads thereafter until synthetic
rubber is available. But the cur
tailment of new cars is a body blow
to every dealer in every commun
ity in the northwest and to 50 per
cent of the mechanics. New cars
on the floor are "frozen" and the
dealer must wait to hear how much
he can ask for these cars and to
whom he has a right to sell.
The hundreds of car dealers in the
northwest are headed for business
disaster. They can not buy more
cars (used cars will be limited) and
many are in debt. The disaster will
extend to the salesmen and to own
ers of buildings in which dealers
have their store rooms; if any dealer
has a lease it will be that much
worse for him. Not all dealers can
expand their servicing facilities.
Effect of the cracking down on
autos and tires will be felt on the
Wghways, the dine-and-dance tav
erns, the hot-dog shops, the bar-b-que
stands and eventually, of
course, the gasoline stations.
Millions of dollars have rolled
into the federal treasury from the
automobile. There has been a man
ufacturers tax on the car, tax on
various gadgets, tax on oil and gas
oline. Average federal tax in Ore
gon on motor vehicle is $9.14. Now
all will be lost or greatly reduce
the revenue on which income taxes
are paid by sealers, salesmen, mech
anics, tavern keeper, etc., nd this
at a time, when every penny that
can be taxed and collected is needed
to pay for the war. The automobile
is the largest single business in the

In addition to the drastic action
on new autos and tires SPAB has
other tricks up its sleeve which will
materially change the American' way
of life. Last month assurances were
given that farm machinery would
not be curtailed unless the steel and
Iron were required for war purposes.
That was before Pearl Harbor. Since
then the picture has changed and
there is no certainty that farm im
plement manufacturers will be per
mitted to produce except under re
strictions. Heavy consumer goods will begin
vanishing before the end of 1942.
Cold storage plants where farmers
and city people have placed food,
vegetables and fruit will take the
place of new refrigerators. Produc
tion of vacuum cleaners will be as
signed to one or two concerns, but
other manufacturers will be given
a "cut" on the receipts; this is to
prevent a monopoly. A similar ar
rangement will be made as to radios.
There was an inclination to stop ra
dio manufacture but this was aban
doned when it was decided that the
radio is the quickest method of giv
ing the public important informa
tion such as blackout or air raid.
Radio has now become No. 1 equip
ment in every home.
Look for a licensing system for all
wholesalers and retailers. Dealers
will be notified how much they may
charge for everything from cigarets
to sugar. There will be no more
runaway prices when price control
administration settles down to bus
iness. The licensing system is re
garded by many as the most simple
method of controlling all prices and
the crossroads store must have a
license the same as a department
store. Regulations will be strict and
violations will carry a heavy penal
ty. Details of this plan have not
been worked out, but what is hap
pening to automobile dealers will
give a general idea.
n,, f ,.. ...in i j-
velopments affecting fanners fuel
and starch. There are now two fac
tories in Idaho making starch from
potatoes to make up the lack of im
ports from Europe. Department of
agriculture hopes that enough starch
factories will be launched to make
America self-sufficient when the
war is over. It is one way of dis
posing of surplus potatoes, even the
culls.
Alcohol is now being made from
corn, wheat and molasses. There is
tremendous demand, for commercial
alcohol is required in the prepara
tion of high explosives, and this
market will be unlimited until after
the war. Later, it is believed com
mercial alcohol will be mixed with
gasoline for automobiles.
There is a possibility of the Wil
lamette valley project being sus
pended until after the war and work
stopped on several reclamation pro
jects in the northwest, such as the
irrigated acres at Grand Coulee.
Fate of these projects is in the bal
ance; the president and congress are
preparing to cut and slash every
appropriation that is ' not directly
connected with war. :

Use of fertilizer this past season
on many of the crops of which in
creased production is sought has
shown that fertilization will go far
toward insuring the greater produc
tion needed, even without increas
ing the acreage, said Dr. Powers.
For example, an 8.3 per cent in
crease in corn is sought in Oregon.
Use of lime, manure and superphos
phate increased the yield of corn
milage more than 50 per cent on a
Willamette silt loam field Use of
nitrogen, potash, and phosphate with
fiber flax increased the yield from
1.98 tons per acre to 2.46 tons.
An increase of 48 per cent was
obtained by fertilizing table beets,
while high potash fertilizers boost
ed black raspberry, boysenberry,
and Cuthbert raspberry yields mat
erially. In addition to experimenting with
the standard fertilizer elements, ex
tensive work is also being carried
on at the college with the so-called
minor elements. Among these, bo
ron has been given most extensive
trials in the last few years. The
use of boron, supplied as borax, has
given increases of V-k to 2 tons of
alfalfa per acre on soils of north
western Oregon, which are deficient
in this element. Some 50,000 acres
of alfalfa in northwestern Oregon
will give profitable response from
the application of 30 to 40 pounds
of granular borax per acre sown
like clover seed, says Dr. Powers.

Fertilizer Use in '42

Use of fertilizer to increase the
yield and quality of crops may aid
in meeting war food needs this next

the profit of Oregon farmers, says
Dr. W. L. Powers, head of the soils
department at Oregon State col
lege, in reporting on the results of
field fertilizer trials this past season.
More details on these results, as
