this morning from his Eight Mile
farm on his way to The Dalles to
call at the sick bed of Mrs. Marv

tryman, is employed at the Bauman
poultry farm and has taken charge
of culling and testing hens. Hatching
eggs are now being collected from
the farm's fine New Hampshire and
White Leghorn flocks. Hatching in j
an electric incubator insures better
quality chicks, says Mrs. H. O. Bau
man. '
Among those temporarily isolated
by high water and loss of bridges
are Mir. and Mrs. H. O. Bauman,
' Mrs. Bauman reported this morn
ing. They were at home across the

HIGH achievements of Oregon 4-H
Clubsters In livestock work Is
reflected in the 10-year record of
Robert K. King, 21, of Moro, who Is
named the state's outstanding boy
for the year In this project by
State Leader H. C. Seymour of Cor
vallis. Robert handled 393 sheep,
127 baby beeves and other stock
and won many showmanship and
Judging honors. Prize money re
ceived on 11 grand cnampionsnips
and lesser awards total $1,891 and
the boy's gross proceeds are certi
fied as $20,643. He is also named
Western sectional winner In the
national 4-H meat animal contest
and received from Thomas E. Wil
son, prize donor, a trip to the recent
National 4-H Club Congress and
$200 college schotarship.

goes well Oregon will raise this" year
the largest crop of Austrian winter
peas and hairy vetch in its history.
More than a half million acres will

ley; thousands of arces in Union and
other eastern counties ot the state.
Triple A which is asking for the seed
to be used on southern farms, says
it is the best crop that can be rais
edso much more per acre yield.
TWp is a flv in the ointment,
however. War production board has
issued an order that irrigation ma
chinery making be discontinued.
MW. nf the tea and hairy vetch
growers irrigate with a sprinkler
system, requiring iron pipe and hose.
Pipe is "out" and no more rubber
hose will be available, the rubber
being needed for defense purposes.
Farmers are sending word to the
congressional delegation to do some-
thing about it; they need-rubber
I hose, and the delegation has been
arguing with WPB. It is possible the
board may relent sufficiently to per
mit the manufacture of hose tor ir
rigation purposes, but there is noth
ing definite yet.
This should be a big year for set
tlers on the Vale project, the grow-
needs will be available and the im
ported sugar may be sent abroad.
Authorities claim that the beets
grown in the Vale-Nyssa area are
the best to be found, the sugar con
tent being unusually high. Two re
fineries (one at Nvssa and the other
at Nampa) will be sold all the beets
they can process this year and next,
at least. Ramifications of the sugar
situation spread in all directions. All
the popular soft drinks contain su
gar and manufacturers are rationing
dealers. The fountain business, as a
result, is having a slump. This
means a loss of several million dol
lars a week throughout the country
Other sugar is going into industrial
alcohol, although it can be made
from grain and potatoes.
Redmond. Klamath Falls, Yakima
and Idaho potato districts are in
auirinE what the price control ad

farm product. As yet there is no
answer. One aid to potato farmers
is the two starch factories recently
established in Idaho; there is a mar
ket for all the starch they can pro

ces in Europe have been cut off and
government is encouraging the
building up of a new industry, hop

from potatoes to supply all needs.

Dairy Manufacturers
Study War Demand
Methods for maintaining highest
quality in the production of dairy
products while increasing the out
put to meet wartime demands will
be emphasized at the thirty-first
annual convention of the Oregon
Dairy Manufacturers association to
be held at Oregon State college
February 16 to 21.
Combined with the convention
will be the annual dairy manufac
turing short course, which will con
tinue throughout the week, with the
main convention, including business
sessions, concentrated on Wednesday
and Thursday, February 18 and 19.
The annual banquet of the associa
tion will be held Thursday evening
as usual. The program this year
provides for a balance among the
various branches of dairy products
manufacturing, says L. L. Long of
Tillamook, president.
Dr. G. M. Trout, professor of dai
ry manufacturing at Michigan State
college, will give lectures and dem
onstrations in handling ice cream
and milk. C. L. Mitchell, produc
tion manager of the Challenge
Cream and Butter company, Los
Angeles, will be the visiting special
ist on butter. Various commercial
cheesemakers, as well as specialists
from Oregon State college, will deal
with cheesemaking. Sanitation and
public health will also be empha
sized, with Archie tJ. r reeman, oi
the U. S. public health service in
San Francisco, scheduled to attend.

Men Who Want Corps
Wanted by Marines
"The men who want the Marine
Corps are the men we want, em-
nhntinallv stated Maior James c.
Hardie, Portland district recruiting
officer, upon visiting Walla Walla
Saturday and inspecting the local
substation.
When Questioned, Major Hardie
expressed four reasons why the Ma
rine Hid not want men dratted into
their corps. The length of probable
service was the first, "Ours is a
small outfit. Therefore a Marine
miiot aomiaint himself with a wide
variety of duties, seldom specializ
ing as is possible in the larger ser
vices. He must be a diplomat, sol
dier and sailor, too. The duration
of this war is not long enough a per
iod for us to train him in all our ac
tivities." Another reason was phychological.
"We must have men who serve be
cause they like the service. They
must make it their choice. At least
they must consider it a valuable ex
perience and not have all of their
aimed towards eventual
civil pursuits. The Leatherneck does
not make his enlistment, either ior
the duration of the war or for four
i . . t :
years, a mere incident lmenermg
with his civil life.
"Since the Corps traditionally
serves around the world in small
units, it is constantly being observ
ed by critical people of foreign lands.
A hitth state of discipline is there
fore necessary, and must be brought
about by the enthusiasm for service
rather than by threat of punish
ment." ,
Not only do the Marines serve in
isolated places but often under try
ing conditions. Therefore, his mor
ale must be and is sustained by the
thought that he chose has own pro
fession and was not subjected to it.
Wakp Island Marines made current
history because of their professional
pride as voluntary soldiers ot the
sea.
Concluding, Major Hardie cited
the need for adaptability in Leath
ernecks. Men from 17 to 20 years of
age are in their formative period.
"It follows that they adapt them
selves to new circumstances with
raniditv while older men do not.
The older group must unlearn the
civilian attitude of independent
thought and decision while the
younger man quickly adjusts him
self to the attitude of unquestioning
obedience, which is the cornerstone
of any first class service."
ers of sugar beets. The government
will soon issue ration cards tor su
gar to curb hoarding; the price of
sugar, it is explained, will not be
increased. The entire sugar situation
has changed in the past two months;
the quotas of last October do not
fit the new emergency. There can
be enough sugar raised in the United
States to meet all requirements, but
the government intends supplying
the allies. An order is expected tell
ing sugar beet growers to extend
their acreage all they desire, the
