■* want to hook up a plow or other im plem ent
to your John Deere Tractor—with the hand-
operated clutch, you can stand on the ground
and put the tractor “ on the spot” for quick

Usually, when backing up to a drawn im ple

the ground, you use the hand clutch lever to
bring your tractor far enough forward for an
easy coupling—i t ’s a one-man job.
Now that you're all set to go. you’ll say:
“ What wonderful vision, how easy it is to steer,

At Parkland hospital in Dallas,
Texas, there’s a small, prosaic-look
ing department where physicians,
harnessing the mysteries of the
Roentgen rays, are battling cancer,
locating bullets and knife blades in
pain-wracked bodies, finding unsus
pected fractures, treating boils and
in general making life easier for
some 14,300 Dallasites each year.
It’s the X-ray department, where
more than 35 persons, most of them
unable to pay, go each day with a
cross-section of life’s ills.
There were, for example, the re
cent cases of the two middle-aged
men with indigestion. Both appeared
at the hospital within a few days of
each other, with unmistakable symp
toms of indigestion and were re
ferred to the X-ray department
for study. Examination in each case
showed a large lump, bigger than a
man’s fist, in the stomach. On ques
tioning, both men said they had eat
en green persimmons in December.
As there is no digestive juice to
dissolve green persimmons, they
simply stayed where they landed,
collected other food particles and
started to cause trouble. Operations
promptly ' restored the patients’
health.
Their films show the location of
bullets which must be removed by in
tricate operations. Sometimes their
findings, because of the vagaries of
the human body, go for naught, as in
the case of the man and the moving
slug.
This patient was admitted with a
bullet lodged in his stomach. The
X-ray department determined its ex
act location and an operation was
decided on for the next morning.
When the hour drew near, doctors
again examined the patient but no
trace of the bullet could they find.
The man watched them closely.
Finally, “Looking for this?” he
asked, picking up the bullet from a
bedside table. He had spat it up
during the night.
SHORT COURSE GWEN
FOR CANNERYMEN
Nineteen years ago Oregon State
college drew nation-wide attention by
holding the first short course for com
mercial cannerymen, who were invit
ed to leave their own businesses long
enough to come to college and “brush
up” on newest methods. Every year
since, a similar and enlarged course
has been given, and now the twenti
eth annual Canners and Frozen Food
Packers school is announced for Feb
ruary 3 to 15, inclusive.
The course is offered in the food
industries department, which is rec
ognized as one of the outstanding re
search centers in the country in the
field of food processing. Courses of
fered will include instruction in hand
ling frozen fruits and vegetables, a
course for food industry field men, a
course dealing with fruit and vege
table canning, and a mechanical
course in handling modern cannery
machinery.
Raw Food Craze
The raw-food craze is a form of
the roughage fad. The average, nor
mal individual may well eat some
raw food daily. But in spite of oc-
I casional “ freak” cases, the use of
an exclusively raw-food diet is not
i conducive to the best state of nu
trition. Many foods are more com
pletely and easily absorbed if
cooked. Vegetables are not only
made more appetizing by cooking,
but what is still more important,
the starch cells under the influence
of heat burst and permit the diges
tive juices to reach the contained
starch.
The words of the wise man, “To
everything there is a season, and a
time to every purpose,” may well
be applied to the use of foods. There
is a place in the diet for concentrat
ed foods as well as for moderate
amounts of roughage. Difficulties
result from the overuse of either.

DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?
H ere are some facts about Ford Labor.
During the year ended November 30th,
1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the
United States averaged 113,628 hourly
wage earners, not including office em
ployes, students, or executives. They were
paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the
average annual wage was $1,629.05.
According to the latest available govern
ment figures, the annual average wage of
all workers in employment covered by
old age insurance law was $841.00.
If the 45,000,000 workers of this country
received the same average wage as Ford
employes, they would have had additional
wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus
increasing the national income about
50%. Think what such an increase would
mean to the workers of this country and
to the American farmer, whose prices are
based on the national income.
Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are
divided into three classifications:
Unskilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour
Semi-skilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour
Skilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour
Higher wages are in consideration of
ability and years of service.
Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor
at the Rouge plant are the highest in the
industry. Top wages for skilled labor
compare favorably with, or are higher
than, wages in other automobile plants.
Now some facts on Ford labor conditions;
Water Samples Hobby
A liner on its way to America once
carried in its hold a number of large
crates, each packed tight with bot
tles containing discolored water.
This was a collection amassed over
a number of years by an enthusi
astic American, who claimed to have
samples of water from all the big
ports of the world and also of many
of the lakes and inland seas. It is
doubtful whether a collection of
this sort can have any value, scien
tific or otherwise, but the man re
sponsible was most proud of it.
Queer cargoes of this type are some-
times heavily insured as this one
happened to be.

DESCHUTES OUTLOOK
MEET STARTS SERI ES
Committees named at the recent
county farm outlook meeting at Red
mond, Oregon, are now at work pre
paring tentative reports to be sub
mitted to another county-wide meet
ing January 22, according to E. H.
Young of Redmond, chairman of the
meeting. The Deschutes county meet
ing held in December served as a
trial gathering for a series of 36 ,
meetings sponsored by the extension
service at Oregon State college on the
general theme of “The Agricultural
Outlook and Its Relationship to Nat-!
ional Preparedness.”
Extension officials were highly
pleased at the interest shown in this

Not only are sanitation and other health
conditions the best in the industry, but
Ford also leads in safety devices for the
protection of employes. Proof of
this is found in the following com-

parison of compensation insurance costs:
The national average rate in automotive
manufacturing plants as computed by the
National Association of Underwriters is
in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100
payroll. The Ford cost of workmen’s
compensation is less than 50c.
This indicates that the chance of injury
in a Ford plant is much less than in the
average automobile plant.
The Ford Motor Company has no age
limit for labor, and in fact deliberately
attempts to keep older workers working.
The average age of Ford workers at the
Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7.
A recent check-up shows that nearly one-
half the workers at these Ford plants were
40 or over, falling into these age groups:
25,819
14,731
3,377
417
12

and 50
and 60
and 70
and 80
and 90
In addition to the so-called regular em
ployes, the Ford Motor Company has
hired, and now has on the payroll, at the
same regular hourly wage, thousands of
workers who are blind, crippled or other
wise incapacitated for normal productive
work. They are not selected for their
ability to build cars or to maintain the
plant. They are on the payroll because of
Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility
of a large company to labor goes be
yond the point at which the unfortunate
worker can no longer produce profitably.
The above are facts. They are open to
anyone who really wants to deal in facts.
Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a
car . . . or place a national defense con
tract on the basis of fair labor treat
ment must place Ford at the top
of his eligible list.

Icing on Planes
Airplanes passing through clouds
frequently gather coats of ice, some
times to the extent of half a ton.
Among protective devices to prevent
icing of airships, the most success
ful are rubber bags that extend
along the leading edges of wings and
steering fins; alternately blown up
and collapsed by a pump, they break
the sheets of ice that form on these
edges. The propellers are kept ice-
free by anti-freeze solution aliiag
from their axle.
