Mattress Making
To be Resumed
Oregon leads all states of the Pa

number of mattresses completed un
der the cotton mattress program
carried on in many parts of the state
this past year, according to word
received by Lois A. Lutz, extension
specialist in home management at
Oregon State college.
She has also been informed that
Oregon is among the states that will
receive materials for carrying on the
program to other counties as orig
inally planned. The work was cur
tailed the latter part of the year be
cause of inability to obtain mater
ials. A total of 5840 Oregon families
have to date made 8724 mattresses
and 1916 cotton comforters under
the statewide program. This is es
timated to represent a saving of
$213,356 as compared with purchas
ing factory -made mattresses and
comforters of similar grade
The program in Oregon is under
a three-way sponsorship, with the
AAA handling orders, certfying ap
plicants, and directing transporta
tion of materials; the Surplus Mar
keting administration supplying the
baled cotton, ticking, and percale,
and the Oregon State college exten
sion service furnishing the leader -

Oregon Seeds Now
(Vital Factor in
jWartime Effort
Oregon seed growers are making
an important contribution to the na
tion's wartime production program,
350 delegates from 26 counties were
toM by department of agriculture
officials at the first annual conven
t:on of the Oregon Seed Growers
league at Corvallis.
Especially important, they were
!old is the production of cover crop
seeds winter legumes and ryegrass
which are badly needed in the
south to make up for the shortage of
nitrate fertilizers. Southern farm
ers must have these seeds to "grow"
nitrogen for their soils, so that farm
families can produce more of their
own foods and more of the commod
ities needed in the food-for-victory
program, the convention was told by
E. L. Deal of Washington. D. C. rep
resenting AAA's southern division.
The AAA is prepared to take all
of the production from the 430,000
acres of cover crop seeds Oregon
farmers reported in the recent farm
defense plan canvass they were
planting for 1942 harvest. Deal as
sured the growers that there was
more chance of not having enough
seed to supply needs of the south,
than of having too much. The long
time goal in the south calls for cov
jr crops on 13,000,000 acres, he said.
Growers can assure themselves of
a continuing demand for Oregon
cover crop seeds in the southern
states by making a large supply of
seed available to southern farmers
this year through AAA's conserva
tion materials program, Deal told the
convention. The AAA can obtain
maximum distribution and continue
to develop the use of cover crops in
new areas, he explained.
C. E. Carter another USDA rep
resentative from Washington D. C,
told the growers that he knows from
personal experience that in no other
place in the United States can be
found the favorable combination of
soil, climate and farmers ready and
able to produce seed such as Oregon
is now turning out. He believes that
organization and planning can in
sure a continuation of markets in
the post-war period.
