Victory Food Plan
Launched by FSA
A Victory Food Production plan,
making it possible for every rual
family to do its part in producing
Food for Freedom will be launched
immediately by the Farm Security
administration in cooperation with
county war boards, announces Bruce
E. Stewart, county FSA superviser,
Heppner Hotel building.
"Every farm family with experi
ence in food raising and land re
sources, including part-time farmers
and farm laborers, who lack equip
ment, facilities, and credit for all
out production of war foods, will be
eligible for guidance and loan as
sistance from Farm Security," Stew
art said. "These farm families are
just as patriotic as those cooperating
100 percent in the Food for Freedom
program and must be given every
opportunity to do their part as well
as benefit from present farm prices.
"FSA's first obligation," it was
explained, "will be to the thirty-six
farm families now cooperating in the
rural rehabilitaton program in the
county. Individual Victory Food
goals will be set up with each fam
ily to increase essential war foods
including dairy, poultry, pork and
gardens. Supplemental loan assist
ance will be available for production
goods, repair of buildings and live
stock shelters, seed, feed, and co
operative facilities where enterprises
can be expanded.
"Every part-time farmer and farm
laborer who has sufficient acreage
available to produce war foods will
be eligible for a special loan with
simplified farm plan to purchase a
cow, a Hog, chickens, garden tools,
seed, livestock shelters, and partici
pate in cooperatives that will aid
production of food for family use
or market," said Stewart "Loans
for livestock and equipment will be
repayable over a period of not more
than five years, while loans for seed,
feed, and fertilizer will be repayable
in one year, with interest at five
percent."
Special authorization has also been
given FSA for loans to individuals
participating in Food for Freedom
clubs, engaged in organized and su-
pervised dairy, poultry, hog, sheep,
rabbit, or garden projects. Loans
! can be made for livestock, tools
seed, fertilizer, livestock shelter,
pressure cookers and similar goods
with interest at three percent. Eli
gibility will extend to members of
Future Farmers groups, 4-H clubs,
and any organized group prepared
to carry out a war food project.
"Tremendous increases in demand
loom for dairy, pork, poultry, and
garden products as the armed forces
are being doubled, employment of
all able bodied men approaches, food
needs of our allies increase, and
need for all-out production to pre
vent disastrous inflation intensifies,"
said Stewart. "Total war means to
tal production by farm and factory
and we must not have a Pearl Har
bor in agriculture."
Meetings are being scheduled with
county FSA council, local farm
leaders and the county war board to
plan steps for the Victory Food
drive.

Home Production Folk
Respond 100 Percent
Morrow county homemakers re
spond 100 percent when their gov
ernment requests them to record and
and report their" home preservation
efforts, according to Bruce E. Stew
art, the farm supervisor for Farm
Security Administration here. Twenty-nine
homemakers were asked to
send in their canning records. These
are the totals for the year: Canned,
tomatoes 811 qts., vegetables 1138
qts., fruit 3811 qts., mince meat 114
qts., meat 412 qts., jam 650 qts., and
pickles 298 qts. Frozen,, vegetables
52 lbs., fruit 372 lbs., and meat 5082
lbs. Stored, vegetables 655 lbs., fruit
3065 lbs., and potatoes 14,800 lbs.
These same homemakers feel this
effort in home production is of great
value to them, and preparations are
being made for a bigger and better
live-at-home program for 1942 in
compliance with our food for de
fense program for winning the war.

the nnmy heeds thousands of miles of copper
.... another reason why we can't build long
power lines to serve non-defense activities!
jf. if Jf Directing artillery fire and
keeping the general in touch with all parts
of his army requires a lot of copper wire.
In the last war our signal corps strung
enough wire to stretch around the world
several times!
The Navy, too, uses copper over 200,000
pounds in a single battleship. And the
manufacture of ammunition, for both our
Army and Navy, takes more than 25 of
the output of American copper mines.
The gigantic demands of modern war
have created a copper shortage. Civilian use
has been cut drastically No longer can pow
er companies build long rural and suburban
extensions such as have already brought
low-cost electricity to nearly every farm in
this area. Nor can we make extensive in
stallations to serve stores or industries
without approval of the Office of Produc
tion Management.
It will be a realk though temporary, incon
venience for this growing area not to have
Pacific Power & Light's cheap electricity
so easily available for new farm and subur
ban homes. However, until the Japs and
Nazis have been thoroughly defeated and
our homes and families made safe from
aggression, we are sure every American
wants the Army and Navy to have all the
copper they need.
When the war is won, P.P.& L. will again
continue its program of extending arteries
of copper to deliver to more people the
cheap electricity you and your neighbors use
so generously for better living.
Please see US first if you plan to build o new
horns or moke ony changes in your electric requirements.
Your problems will be given every consideration possible.
