6 Heppner Gazette Times, May 7, 1942 AMERICAN EAGLE 'ESCORTS' OREGON FOOD ACROSS SEA America's allies are looking to this nation for food as well as guns, tanks and planes, and products from Oregon farms are helping in the battle against aggression all over the globe, the state USDA war board reports. The American eagle symbol re cently adopted as the U. S. "trade mark" is flying over lend-lease shipments of Oregon cheese, dried and condensed milk, and eggs to feed the fighting forces of the Uni ted Nations. Because dairy and poul try products are this state's most important contributions to lend lease needs, the state war board asks farmers to make every effort to meet production goals established for these commodities. Oregon's share of the 1942 nation al dairy production goal has been set at 1,590,000,000 a billion and a half pounds of milk. Meeting this goal will require an 11 percent in crease over last year's production. In the farm defense plan canvass last fall, Oregon farmers indicated that this goal could be attained. Although there are 3 percent more milk cows on Oregon farms this year, a war board survey shows that milk production so far this year is lag ging considerably short of the goal. Poor early pasture conditions are seen as mainly responsible for the lag in prodxiction. To overcome this, farmers are advised to feed heavier and give their cows better care. In most areas, prices are favorable to heavier feeding, the war board points out. The O. S. C. extension service has issued four new brief bulletins to aid dairy farmers with their pro duction problems. The government's policy on purch asing dairy products has not chang ed, the war board reports. Since January 1, the Agricultural Market ing administration has been buying an average of one million cases of condensed milk, nine million pounds of cheese and five million pounds of skim milk every week. AMA stepped up its egg purchases recently to prevent heavy spring production from causing price slumps. Present rates of lay and the increase in numbers of hens in flocks on Oregon farms indicate that the goal for a 13 percent increase in egg production will be met.

Total War Bond quota for the State is $5,610,500. Every income earner in the State is expected to step up War Bond purchases on a basis of ten per cent or more of income. This is necessary to help America's armed forces take the offensive against the Axis powers. The American voluntary method of War Bond purchases must be successful in reaching the quotas set by the Treasury Department for every county in the nation. The job of every American now is to stop spending and save dollars to help win the War, ing Co., Election 26.00 Bert Johnson, Judge, General Assistance 261.26 Bert Johnson, Judge, Old Age Assistance 315.20 Bert Johnson, Judge, Aid to Dependent Children 47.20 Bert Johnson, Judge, Blind Assistance 6.00 First National Bank of Port- ; land, Rationing Board 36.00 Bert Johnson, County Court .. 5.20 Warrants Drawn on General Road Fund Albert Connor $142.74, Ray Mas sey $62.86, Dale Ray $49.79, Clair Ashbaugh $126.27, H.

OREGON CAN PLAY BIG PART IN FOOD DRYING CAMPAIGN Oregon's food -drying facilities, which exceed in volume those of any other state, can be made quickly available to further the nation's war effort in 3 gigantic food-drying pro gram if national offfcials will coop erate by indicating the type and vol ume of foods needed and prices to be expected, according to a compre hensive report submitted to Wash ington by William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon State college." The report was drawn up at Dean Schoenfeld's request by Henry Hart man, head of horticultural research Warrants Drawn on Market Road Fund L. N. Morgan $87.84, W. Cunning ham $63.84, Frank W.

It shows .that when the last de tailed survey was made by the state department of agriculture in 1938, Oregon had 281 food driers of var ious types, capable of handling 100, 000 bushels of fresh produce per day. The government is already en couraging the dehydration of many types of. vegetables and is seeking a large volume of dried foods for shipment all over the world. With out sacrifice of food values, dried foods are light in weight, of small volume, need no refrigeration, and keep long periods, according to the college men. Even at present production levels, Oregon has about 15 million tons of fruits and 13 million tons of vege tables per year suitable for dehy dration, the report points out. Ore gon's wide diversity of crops, fur thermore, would make a year-round drying program possible, with small fruits, cherries, and certain kinds of vegetables to be dried in summer, with apples, pears, potatoes, cab bage, and root crops to be dried the remainder of the year. For 25 years the state college has carried on research in their drier construction and fruit-drying meth ods, which will be invaluable at this time, although additional research is needed in the case of vegetable dehydration, Dt an Schoenfeld points out.

FUTURE FARMERS PLEDGE HELP IN RURAL WAR WORK A seven -point wartime pledge was adopted by the Oregon Future Far mers of America in the annual con vention at Oregon State college, at tended by 480 delegates from 54 of the state's 55 chapters. The annual report of officers showed important war work already being carried on. but such activities will be redoubled in the year ahead, it was decided. FFA students already have invest ed $25,748.73 in war savings stamps and bonds, while the various chap ters have collected 471 tons of scrap metal as a direct aid in the war ef fort. Agricultural projects have been geared to the food-for-victory de mands throughout the state, the re port shows. Elvan Pitney of Junction City was chosen state president; Alvin Kreger of Albany, vice-president; Willis Bailey, Enterprise, secretary; Jay Hooten, Roseburg, treasurer, and Jim Dial, LaGrande, reporter. Hon orary State Farmer degrees were awarded George Angell, Oswego, representatie of the Oregon Farmer, and E. H. Greenwood, Portland, sec retary of the Oregon Bankers as sociation. The seven-point wartim pledge follows: "1. We are heartily in favor of continuing our basic program of work, which is fundamentally es sential . . . whether it be in time of war or in time of peace. "2. Remain on the farm instead of taking jobs in the city in order that our training can be utilized to the bsst advantage in the production of food. "3. Cooperate in a training pro gram for city youth by helping to place them on farms and, where pos sible, help these urban youth be come familiar with farm work. "4. Conduct our farm projects in such a way that they will contribute most of the' 'Food for Victory' pro gram. "5. Collect salvage material es sential to the war effort. "6. Asist in the repair and renova tion of farm machinery on the home farm. "7. Purchase war stamps and bonds." NOW HERE FACTORY MACHINE for lawnmower sharpening. We'll make your lawnmower like new.
