Schoenfeld, director of extension service at Oregon State college. The current series of meetings by these committees, attended by Paul Carpenter and H. G. Avery, ex tension specialists, and by several representatives of the office of de fense transportation, has evolved that, in general, these committees have developed effective working methods, coordination, poise, judg ment, and confidence, according to the reports of the extension men. "They know there is a war on, they feel the heavy responsibility resting upon them, they are going to stay on the job and see that local transportation functions, and they know that no one else has the un derstanding to make it function," according to Carpenter's report "These men do not want to be told what to do. They want to know what is the situation and what are the needs. In effect, they ask only how wide is the river. They reserve to themselves and their local op rators the design, construction and use of the bridge." Some difficulty in obtaining com plete cooperation in milage reduc tions and pooling comes from the lack of uniform observance of an nounced restrictions by others than farmers, it was found. The current scarcity of repair parts to keep trucks operating has the com mittees worried and some of them 'feel that some sort of rationing program will be necessary to re serve a fair proportion of available parts for farm truck use. The attitude of farm people to ward the conservation cf equip ment is found to be generally good and more pooling of equipment than is generally kndwn is already taking place, the specialists found. TREKS AVAILABLE FROM STATE NURSERY Trees for planting farm woodlots, windbreaks and shelter belts can still be obtained from the state for est nursery and any farmer wish ing to obtain such trees should put in his order immediately as trees can not be shipped after spring growth starts.
