Forest Service Seeks
Protective Assistance
'Because of labor shortage, the
forest service does not want to in
terfere with farms, but every source
of aid must be drawn on for fire
protection the coming season," an
nounces F. F. Wehmeyer, ranger in
charge of the local district. He said
the service ' is seeking cooperation
irom everyone. He warned that no
fires this season will be treated as
"accidental" if man-caused, and that
all such fires will be considered as
sabotage. All forest areas will be
placed on restricted basis with start
of the fire season, and no one will
be allowed to enter without permit.
Edgar Parker has been tempor
arily transferred from the local of
fice to work timber sales in the Mt.
Eoiily district. Ellis Carlson has ar
rived back in Heppner to resume
his work as protective assistant and
is stationed at Tupper. Elmer Hin
ton, Max Buschke, Bert Bleakman
and Carlson are now at Tupper to
start spring maintenance work.
Merle Crawford, formerly in charge
of the state forest area in this dis
trict has been moved to Sisters, and
Dick Berry has succeeded him with
headquarters at Kinzua.
Wehmeyer said no shortage in ir
rigation water should be experienc
ed this year. Moisture content of
snow on Jones prairie as of April
1 measured 12 and a fraction inches,
as compared with two and a frac
tion last year, and three and a frac
tion two years ago at the same time.
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."

'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

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,

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.

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
