FOODFORVICTORY
By IRENE WILSON
Now that the warm winds have
swept our hills bare of snow and
made us feel that it's "time to shed
our winter woolies most of us look
to the barren spot in our back yards
and wonder if it isn't almost time
to do a little digging.
It's still a little early for actual
gardening, but not too early to do a
little fireside planning. And this
year of all years is the time to get
our vitamins out of the back yard.
If we raise more food for ourselves,
more food will be available from
commercial sources for the army,
navy, and marines as well as defense
workers and city dwellers who are--n't
able to produce their own foods.
In order to reach the county "food
for defense" goal of 114 more gar
dens, we should now do our part
by planning that old-fashioned gar
den to fill the cellar next fall and
provide the table with good veg
etables this summer.
Leslie Packard, a farmer in the
Boardman area who always has a
bountiful garden, says that he does
his fireside planning with the help
of a seed catalogue which usually
tells how and when to plant each
variety. Right liow he is ordering
peas because they should be planted
early to avoid blighting. He usu
ally gets them in the last two weeks
in February and plants them thick
ly in twin rows. "The dwarf var
iety is better in this part of the
country because of the high winds,"
says Mr. Packard.
In making up plans with farm
women in this part of the country,
Hazel Duncan, home management
supervisor for the Farm Security
Administration, says that the great
est lacks in the diet are in toma
toes and green vegetables. She sug
gests that a good balance can be
maintained in our diets if we plan
to have a good supply of vegetables
of each color in our gardens.
But you will probably be hearing
a great deal more about gardens this
spring from the garden committee
of the Morrow County Nutrition
council and from your county agent,
so we'll leave gardens until later and
talk about the problem with which
most homemakers believe they are
confronted a sugar shortage.
But sugar shortage is not a prob
lem. Doctors and dietitians are
cheering, for at last the American
people will have to cut down on
sweets. From a survey reported at
the Oregon Nutrition council meet
ing in September it was found that
the average Oregonian consumes 125
pounds of sugar a year. Dietary
standards set by the U. S. D. A. say
that 74 pounds of all sweets is the
maximum that should be consumed
by an individual. So if we are lim
ited to 50 pounds of sugar, we are
really having our health safeguard
ed. Or does that sound like sour
grapes to you?
The best recipe we know for bet
ter living in 1942 is
Six chickens
And a cow
A smokehouse
A garden
And a sow
Twenty-four more chickens
And a rooster
And you'll live much better
Than you uster.

Grange Ag Committee
Sets Regional Meets
The problem of meeting the war-,
time goals set up for the farmers of
Oregon will be the principal subject
for consideration at a series of six
regional conferences to be held next
week under sponsorship of the agri
cultural committee of the . Oregon
State Grange; These meetings will
be devoted entirely to agricultural
matters and are open to the public.
Qualified speakers will be present
at each of the meetings to present
local problems of the various dis
tricts, and opportunity will be given
those in attendance to participate in
the discussions.
"The war has made this a partic
ularly critical time for American
agriculture and it is imperative that
we have a good attendance at these
meetings in order that we may chart
our future course," . said Morton
Tompkins, chairman of the State
Grange agricultural committee, in
making the announcement. He em
phasized that these meetings, while
being a grange-sponsored activity,
are open to the public and all farm
ers of the state are invited to be in
attendance.
The meeting for this region will
be at the city hall in Arlington, be
ginning at 10 a. m., February 10.

Boy Scout Week
Continued from First Page
in leaders, skill, number and will."
A six-point program is adopted
in aiding the national defense work:
1. Emergency service, program for
scouts 15 years and over, started
about three years ago. The boy must
be physically fit and pass strenuous
tests and have earned merit badges
in life saving, first aid, pioneering,
personal health, public health, fire
manship, safety and rowing, and must
have permission of his parents to
take part in this vigorous program.
2. Delivered "Buy Defense Bonds
and Stamps" posters last spring.
3. Aided in aluminum collection.
4. Collecting and aiding in the
paper coservation program.
5. To deliver air raid precaution
posters as soon as they can be print
ed. 6. Civilian defense, national, urges
all scoutmasters, assistant scoutmas
ters and those directly active with
the Boy Scout movement to train
and work with their own troop and
not to take any other job in the
civilian defense because they can do
the most good as leaders in the
troops and as scouts. They have
already been training themselves for
the job. The scouts can do many
things such as acting as messenger
boys, fire spotters, and in fighting
fires, trained first aid work after
they have been taught these things.

Farm Labor Survey
Sponsored by Grange
Setting in motion machinery to
counteract the threatened labor
shortage faced by Oregon farmers
during this coming year, the Oregon
State Grange has announced that
during the week of February 15, it
will conduct a series of conferences
throughout the state to survey an
ticipated farm labor needs, and to
present a constructive program for
meeting those requirements.
The meeting scheduled for this
area will be held at Boardman, at
2 p. m., Tuesday, February 17.
Working in close harmony with
the grange will be the U. S. employ
ment service which will have rep
resentatives at each of the meetings
to outline plans already under way
to insure that the necessary labor to
harvest crops will be available when
and where needed. These repre
sentatives will also confer with
growers present at the meetings to
ascertain the types and numbers of
agricultural workers which will be
required at various times through
out the year.
State Grange Master Ray W. Gill
has requested that each Pomona and
subordinate grange master appoint
a committee of five from their re
spective granges and also to invite
several leading farmers in the com
munity who do not belong to the
grange, to attend.
