Milk Diversion to
Cheese Shown by
Production Facts
The heavy diversion of America's
milk production away from butter
and into cheese and evaporated milk
is shown in figures recently assem
bled by the extension office in agri
cultural economics at Oregon State
college.
Figures for the first quarter of
1942 show 186 million pounds of
cheese manufactured to 120 million
pounds for the comparable quarter in
1941. This increase of 66 million
pounds more milk went into cheese
production in the first three months
of this year than last.
The evaporated milk figures are
even more impressive. In the first
quarter of this year 943 million
pounds of evaporated milk was pro
duced compared with 544 million
pounds in the same period in 1941.
To get this increase of nearly 400
million pounds required some 800
million pounds more whole milk.
While part of this increase came
from generally stepped up produc
tion, the figures on butter output
show that diversion accounted for a
good deal of it. In the first quarter
this year the creamery butter out
put was 377 million pounds compared
with 416 million pounds in the cor
responding period of last year. This
is a decrease of 9.2 percent. Just
recently production has been swing
ing back to butter as supplies of
cheese and evaporated milk were
built up to a point where a slight
Turn in Your Rubber!
If the American public can sal
vage enough rubber by June 30th,
motorists may avert gasoline ra
tioning and get recapped tires. Al
most every attic, basement, barn, and
garage is an untapped reservoir of
idle rubber. Today's most urgent
problem is getting this rubber into
service station depots. President
Roosevelt has authorized every ser
vice station in the U. S. to serve
as a collection center in this all im
portant two-week emergency drive.
Everything counts Fido's rubber
bone, the youngster's outgrown play
things, Dad's old fishing boots,
lowering of price occurred.
From October of last year through
the first quarter of this year U. S.
department of agriculture purchases
for lend-lease and army use amount
ed to 50 percent of the total output
of evaporated milk and cheese. For
March and April of this year the
government purchased 77 percent of
the output of dried skim milk man
ufactured for human consumption.
Government purchase of all dairy
products since last October amount
ed to approximately twice as much
as the increase in dairy production
in that period.
Oregon has aided materially in
supplying the increased wartime need
for cheese and canned milk, the re
port shows. The cheese making ca
pacity of the state has been greatly
increased in the past year through
installation of equipment in many of
the creameries not previously equip
ped to make cheese.
Grandma's leaky hot water bottle
and hundreds of other discarded or
unnecessary rubber articles are
needed to help win this battle of
rubber. It's ' everybody's job start
today! Here's a suggested list of
things to look for and take to any
service station:
Tires and tubes, crepe rubber soles,
boots and overshoes, hot water bot
tles, tennis shoes, rubber belting,
rubber gloves, rubber sheeting, pads
and matting, rubber toys, raincoats
and capes, rubber heels, rubber
bathing suits, bathing caps and
shoes, jar rings, plumber's suction
cups, sample tire sections, rubber
ash trays, rubber balls, etc., etc., etc
It requires a great deal of bold
ness and caution to make a fortune,
and when you have got it it requires
ten times as much wit to keep it.

PERMANENT BULK STORAGE
WITH AN
Economy Lock-Joint Grain Bin
A shortage of grain bags necessitates handling a large percentage of this
year's crop in bulk storage. With many materials including all metals on the
priority list, the job must be met by available wood. To meet this critical situa
tion the Economy Grain Bin Company has designed a prefabricated bin engin
eered to meet the requirements for safe, economical grain and feed storage on
the farm.
It takes no nails except for roof boards. Built of heavy plank shiplap con
struction, it is engineeringly designed to take care of expansion and contrac
tion from alternating dampness and dryness.
Built all one size-2,500 bushel capacity-the Economy Bin can be easily
partitioned into three equal sections of 830 bushels, and can be erected in one
day.

We are now the Authorized Dealers for this Economy Lock-Joint Grain Bin in
the Heppner-Condon area.
