Machinery Quota
Allotted Farmers
Morrow county machinery ration
ing committee met Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week and com
pleted the difficult job of alloting
rationed machinery to farmers
throughout the county who have
made application for it. In very few
cases was there enough machinery
to fill all the applications and the
committee found it difficult to de-
ternme which applicant would
make the greatest use of the ma
chinery, i
Word has been received from the
state war board that a small amount
of additional machinery can be ex
pected in most of the rationed
classes and those who have failed
to put in their applications for
machinery may still have a chance
to obtain some if it is badly needed.
All schedule 1 equipment, that is
on a quota basis, was allotted with
the exception of 6 mowers, which
the committee feels will be applied
for before haying season.
The machinery situation is better
this year and types of farm machin
ery that were on a quota basis in
1943 are not so rationed in 1944.

Farm Stored Wheat
Should Be Checked
Farm stored wheat which is un
der loan with the Commodity Cred
it corporation should be checked
during the next few weeks to de
termine whether the wheat is in
good condition. Any farmer finding
the wheat infested with weevil,
damp, moldy, heating or otherwise
going out of condition, should noti
fy the county AAA committee im
mediately, it is stated.
Some loss has occurred in past
years from leaky roofs or from
moisture in the bins due to water
standing around the base. Such con
ditions can be avoided if a close
check is kept on farm storage bins.
Farmers who have farm loans on
their wheat are reminded that they
are responsible for the condition of
the wheat and should take all ne
cessary steps to keep the wheat in
condition to avoid loss.

A billion board feet of finished boxes
and crating are this year's demands on
Oregon and Washington mills...
iThink of it! That's forty thousand carloads
of Northwest lumber just to carry aramu-,
ration, food, repair parts and other vital
war supplies. It gives you an idea of the im
mensity of the job that men in the lumber
iindustry have faced since the first shot was
fired at Pearl Harbor.
Even more Northwest lumber is being used
constantly for the production of life boats,
landing barges, hutments and other field
structures of all kinds.

It isn't any wonder that this industry is
considered one of the most important on the
home front today.

Helping Northwest lumbermen do
their jobs faster, better and
cheaper has been one of our big
responsibilities for over 33 years.
Today, we are glad that this back
log of experience is making shorter
work of the new problems that
come up not only im providing
dependable electricity to meet war
needs in the lumber industry, but
in machine shops, shipyards, air
fields, army camps and homes.
