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.

The above map of Oregon shows the War Bond
quotas, by counties, for the month of May, 1942.
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,

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

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."
