Farmers Exhaust FSA Loan Funds Heavy demands of family-type, small and part-time farmers in Ore gon for equipment, livestock, feed seed and cooperative credit to pro duce increased war foods and meet their war board pledges has ex hausted current Farm Security Ad ministration loan funds, announces Bruce E. Stewart, county FSA sup ervisor, Heppner Hotel building. "While all-out 'Food-for-Free-dom' cooperation of Morrow county and Oregon farm families unable to secure other production credit has been amply demonstrated, rush of farmers to do their part has ex hausted funds set up for the pre sent fiscal year ending June 30, 1942," Stewart said. "As a result, new Farm Security loans cannot be made until congressional action has been completed on appropriations for the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 1942." Indicative of the all-out "Food for Freedom" efforts of local farm ers is the fact that food production loans totaling $33,000 have been made this year to 40 farm families, which includes 14 special war loans to small and part-time farm famil ies for production of food for home use and market, reports Stewart. "Although additional FSA funds are not expected to be available prior to July 1, loan applications can still be accepted for immediate action when appropriations are com pleted," Stewart said. "In the mean time, every effort will be made to aid FSA borrowers in carrying out their Food for Freedom plans into actual production in cooperation with the county war board." 0. M.

Heppner Gazette Times, April 30, 1942 5 'Booster' Solution for Victory Gardens Told Barnyard manure placed in bar rels or other watertight containers and then covered with water will provide a source of liquid "booster" solutions highly valuable in grow ing farm and home gardens, points out C. D. Conrad, county agent of Morrow county. Some care is necessary in handl ing, however, to prevent damage from too strong concentrations. On ly enough material should be put in a barrel so that it may be stirred several times over a period of one or two days. After that the liquid is diluted with additional water un til it has a light amber color, when it is safe to use. A pint of this liquid per plant when transplanting will serve as a booster solution, or it may be pour ed along the side , of growing plants to stimulate more rapid growth. For this purpose it may be used at in tervals of 10 days to two weeks on growing plants with great benefit, particularly if soils are not very fer tile. Leafy vegetables are especially benefitted from its use. In some respects these liquid fer tilizers made from barnyard manure are more valuable in promoting growth than are some of the chem NOTICE On and after May 4, 1942 the following prices will be in effect: Shave 35c Haircut 65c Child's Haircut ..... 50c COXEJTS BARBER SHOP KEYS' BARBER SHOP NOW HERE FACTORY MACHINE for lawn mower sharpening.

Bailey To the Republican Voters of Morrow County MARVIN KLEMME lands. During this short period the revenue from these lands has more than doubled. My work has taken me over nearly every section of the District, including Morrow County, which has enabled me to become familiar with its problems. I also feel that my knowledge of the international situation should be of value, at this particular time. The people of Morrow County are almost completely dependent on the production of grain and livestock for a living. If the prices of these two commodities can he stabilized at a reasonable sum, pros perity is assured. On the other hand, if these two commodities aref not protected from foreign competition, bankruptcy, or a low standard of living is inevitable. I shall therefore do everything that I can to protect the American market for American goods. Our immediate objective is, of course, to win the war. No Patriotic American objects to paying high taxes but what he does object to and rightfully so is to getting so little results for his money. I shall therefore work for a more efficient prosecution of the war. I believe that the Republican Party now has an opportunity tot render a great service to the nation. It is up to each of us to see that this party remains in the hands of the people, MARVIN KLEMME Republican candidate for Congress i ical fertilizers, although many of the latter may be used to good ad vantage. Various formulas for starter or booster solutions are in successful use, points out Conrad. They are widely used in transplanting toma toes, peppers, eggplant, celery, and even with melons. It is important that chemical fertilizers used in such solutions be carefully, weighed. When made up by guess, the solutions may be in such proportions as to damage plants or do them little good. One starter or booster solution made from commercial fertilizers and quite commonly used is made as follows: 20 ounces of 11-48-0 am moniated phosphate, 10 ounces ni trate of potash, if obtainable (or 10 ounces of sulphate of potash) to 50 gallons of water.

For a good meal Anytime, come to ELKHORN RESTAURANT Ed Chinn, Prop. In asking you to support me in my campaign for Congress I feel that you should know something of my background and what I stand for. I was born 41 years ago and raised on a farm; am an ex service man (U. S. Marines) with a yead and a half of fore ign service; a college graduate in forestry and agriculture, I spent several years with the U. S. Forest Service and later as head of the U. S. Grazing Service in this state, during which period about 12,000,000 acres of federal grazing land was placed under administra tion. In 1938-39 I made a world tour for the purpose of making a general study of agricultural conditions abroad. Over thirty foreign countries, including Australia, China, Japan, Rus sia and Germany were covered. I was in Turkey at the time war broke out. For the past year and more I have been in charee of the State's school
