Mrs. America Meets
The War
(Editor's Note War touches ev
ery home and every citizen. This
column, based on official govern
ment information and prepared by
the Oilice of War Intormation,
shows how the war will affect Mrs.
America and her home.)
If your corner fruit stand or gro
cer says, ''yes we have no bananas,"
here's the reason why. Imports of
bananas have been curtailed about
85 percent by the withdrawal of
most fruit services. That is in line
with efforts of the War Shipping
administration to eliminate non-essential
imports from the western
hemisphere and to limit space in
ships to cargoes that are necessary
to prosecution of the "war. However,
the price of this tropical fruit is not
prohibitive. Bananas are price con
trolled, and recent cost of living fig
ures revealed a decline of 12 per
cent in cost.
Is your home a "V" home? Local
civilian defense officials are to aw
ard "V Home" certificates for com
pletion of such air raid precautions
as are "deemed necessary and also '
for certain practical measures de
signed to strengthen the war effort.
This is what it takes to be certified
as a "V Home": Follow instructions
of air raid warden as protection
against attack by air; conserve food,
clothing, transportation and health
to maintain an unceasing flow of
war materials to the front; salvage
essential materials for war machines;
refuse to spread rumors; and, buy
War Savings stamps and bonds reg
ularly. A long loose bob may contribute
to milady's glamour, but in an in
dustrial plant it constitutes a def
inite accident hazard. A new bul
letin of the Deartment of Labor Wo
men's bureau, "Wheel Jobs," recom
mends headgear that covers all the
hair. The suggested head-covering
should be arranged so that machin
ery cannot catch in the cap and
then in the hair.
And while we're on the subject of
women's crowning glory, here's a
case where blondes are preferred.

fkv JOHN DEERE
You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

Blonde hair, if it has never been
permanented, can be used in preci
sion instruments, and consequently
there is a market for it in an eastern
war plant. The hair must be 18 in
ches in leneth and of fine texture.
If it proves satisfactory, it will be
purchased, or if preferred, an hon
orary medal will be given instead of
the cash which will be turned over
to the Red Cross.
Go easy on the cans of fish and
meat on your grocer's shelves these
days so the supply will last as long
as possible, and also to give every
one a fair chance to get her share.
There won't be so many available
for your family's use in the future
because most of our canned fish
supply is being shipped to American
soldiers and allies all over the world.
Also the amount of canned meat av
ailable for civilian use has been cur
tailed. Here's a food budget helper. The
OPA has placed lamb under a 60
day temporary price ceiling, there
by covering every major8 meat item
except poultry. If you are a house
wife in the Pacific Coast states, the
Northeastern or East Central states,
that should be especially good news.
Women in these territories bought
84 percent of the total lamb output
of 1941. Before the placing of the
temporary ceiling, the price of lamb
went up more than 10 per cent be
tween the middle of May and the
middle of June. That was a much
larger increase than for any similar
period over the past 20 years.
Take care of stove pipe because
indications are that it will be scarce
this winter. The WPB plumbing and
heating lists the following sugges
tions on how to protect old stove
pipe properly: Thoroughly clean the
pipe inside and out with steel wool
or sandpaper; apply asbestos furnace
cement (available at a few cents at
hardware stores or from heating
contractors) to all small holes and
scratches; remove lengths contain
ing large holes and replace only
these lengths with new pipe; and
carefully apply a good heat resistant
paint.

ers of physics and mathematics. So
many teachers from these war es
sential fields are being drafted for
industry, research and the armed
forces, that physcics and math class
es are beginning to feel the short

Chairman Paul McNutt has urged
present and prospective teachers to
enroll in tuition-free short-term
teaching in sponsoring the courses
in 20 colleges and universities thru
out the country.
OPA'S new price regulation on
canned fruits and berries will pass
on to Mrs. America enough of an
increase only to cover the actual
raw materials and labor costs to
canners over the expense of pack
ing such products in 1941. That
means a raise of from 15 to 25 per
cent in cost to the consumer. Can
ned fruits and berries and their nec
tars and juices which are covered
include apricots, sour cherries, sweet
cherries, figs, clingstone and free
stone peaches and nectarines, pears,
pineapples, plums, fresh prunes,
blackberries, blueberries, boysenber
ries, cranberries, gooseberries, huc
kleberries, loganberries, black rasp
berries, red raspberries, strawberries
and youngberries.
Look for increased dehydration of
foods for Lend-Lease requirements
and our' armed forces. Production
facilities will be expanded so that for
example, 60,000,000 pounds of meat
are expected to be processed in this
way this year. Dehydrated meat oc
cupies about one-third the volume
and weighs one-fourth as much as
raw lean meat. Dried whole milk
requires about one-tenth the space
of fresh milk and weighs about one
eighth of the original product. Ten
pounds of fresh vegetables will
weigh about one pound when de
hydrated, and among the vegetables
to be treated this way are potatoes,
onions, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes
and cabbage. The process should be
of help in meeting the problems of
providing food for the armed forces
and for Lend-Lease because a great
er quantity can be shipped in less
space.
Chemical Found to Kill
PoiSOn Oak 111 J ig Time
. At long last an effective control
for the poison oak shrub, a most
pestiferous plant common to many
parts of the west, appears to be in
the offing. Nothing certain about
it yet, but it is the most promising
material yet tried, says Lynn Harris,
in charge of the experiment station
weed control research at O.S.C.
The " promising chemical is am
monium sulfamate. This is the same
material that has been reported as
so effective farther east in controll
ing poison ivy a first cousin to poi
son oak.
In preliminary tests for more than
a year the ammonium sulfamate ap
pears to have many advantages over
present chemical weed killers. First,
it is effective, giving a high per
centage of kill of both tops and roots
when sprayed on the growing
shrubs.
Second, it is fire retarding rather
than being highly inflammable as
are most chlorate weed killers. This
is an important item where the
plants are thick over a considerable
area.
The third advantage is that its ef
fect on the soil is beneficial rather
than harmful, as the chemical in
breaking down tends to leave ni
trates and sulfur in the ground.
The best time to apply the spray
is in the middle or late summer,
when dry oil aids the killing power
of the chemical. Where complete
kill is not obtained in one season, a
second application appears to finish
the job.
Exact dosages and strength have
not yet been worked out accurately,
although good results have been ob
tained with a strength of one pound
per gallon of water, sprayed on all
parts of the plant.
The experiment station is not yet
prepared to give an unqualified rec
ommendation of this control method,
but does believe it is worth more
field trials if the material can be
obtained. The chemical is manufac
tured by one of the largest compan
ies but distribution as not yet been
worked out thoroughly. Both man
ufacture and distribution have been
hampered by war conditions.

DR. STRAND TO BE
NINTH PRESIDENT
OF STATE COLLEGE
Oregon State College Dr. August
Leroy Strand, the newly elected
president of O. S. C, wh will be
come ninth head of the institution
early in October, is a man of varied
background, with both agricultural
and scientific education and exper
ience', and with proved administra
tive ability, according to officials of
the state system of higher education
and of this institution who took part
in the search for a new executive.
Dr. Strand comes to Oregon State
after- five years as president of his
alma mater, Montana State college.
While a native of Texas, his com
mon, high school, and collegiate ed
ucation were in Montana, although
his graduate studies for both mas
ter's and doctor of philosophy de
grees were at the University of
Minnesota, where he specialized in
entomology and zoology.
On a recent visit to Oregon to be
interviewed by the board and lead
ers of the college, Dr. Strand prov
ed to be a large, affable man with
a frank, straightforward manner.
Both before and after his final elec
tion and acceptance those on the
campus who had met and talked with
him were unanimous in speaking
highly of his personality and gener
al attitude. He succeeds acting pres
ident F. A. Gilfillan, who has served
since the resignation a year ago of
F. L. Ballard because of ill health.
His professional experience in
cludes service as assistant state en
tomologist in Montana, extension
entomologist in Pennsylvania, and
seven years on the staff of the Uni
versity of Minnesota as instructor
and assistant professor in the division
of entomology and economic zool
ogy. From there he returned to Mon
tana as head of the department of
entomology, from which position he
was promoted to the presidency in
1937.
The new president is 48 years old,
is married, and has three children.
His oldest son, James, is attending
the U.S. naval academy at Anapolis,
his daughter, Patricia, will be a sen
ior in high school this year, and his
son Roy will be in the fifth grade.
He is a veteran of the first world
war, having served first with the
rank of chief quartermaster .in the
U. S. Naval Air service and later as
a naval aviator with the rank of
ensign.
In his present position Dr. Strand
has maintained close relations with
the various farm organizations of
Montana, as well as with the state
government. He has also been pop
ular with faculty and students. He
will take office just prior to the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the institution, which
is to be celebrated in 1943.
