One of the special writers stated last summer that there were grapes of wrath with plenty of grapes. We deny that there were any grapes of wrath type here, but we hope that the workers, clean, honest and industrious, are taking away with them plenty of grapes for their summer and fall work. As a community of 800 we have done our best to help take care of 20,000 vis itors and wherein we have failed was not through good heartedness and willingness to do, but lack of sheer strength and financial ability to cooperate to the highest degree. To those who stay we continue our welcome and to those who go we say goodbye, with a cordial welcome to return, or drop in any time where the latch string still hangs out. NOW READY TO FIRE The leaves are dropping slowly this fall . . . the branches hold their shade and protection and late coloring for the new seasonal inhabitants beneath. Nor have there been any eddying gusts that foretold cold. From March to November the weather has con tributed its share to defense work. The last yard of concrete has been poured on the 1000th igloo, and the drag lines and other equipment are spreading sand and gravel protection rapidly behind. Fortun ate circumstances have surrounded the great pro ject, and capable management and skill and organ- iztion have portrayed a lesson to the nation. If de fense work throughout the country had progressed as well as that of the Umatilla Ordnance Depot, these United States would be ready to take on any defi ance to our democratic government that the axis powers may declare. We pray that our shores will not be attacked, but we are ready to keep our powder dry. and. while the whites of the enemy’s eyes may be just over the hill, our part of the job is ready for the order to fire. “You can work Sitting UP DOWN or Standing just like stretching in the 7th inning of a ball game." 6 Be Farmers la this State and elsewhere In America are beginning to make plans for producing more "defense foods” in 1942. Among the highly-nutritious foods needed in greater quantity are milk, cheese, eggs, meats, and vegetables. Good market prices for the year are assured. Every farmer ia the aation will be visited this fall by an AAA farm program committeeman who will assist in planning the increases. YOU CAN STAND AND RELAX ON ROOMY PLATFORM OF JOHN DEERE TRACTORS ITTING in one position all day is mighty tiring. But you don't have to sit all day on a John Deere Tractor—there's a big. roomy platform so that when you want to "unlax", you can get up and stretch, just like in the 7th inning of a ball game. It's a tine thing, too, in extremely dusty conditions. VOCATION COURSES AVAILABLE NOW 10 a. m.—Bible school. A class for all ages. 11 a. m.—Worship hour. Edifica tion, exhortation and comfort.

Presence of honeydew on a high percentage of ryegrass seed indicated a considerable number of aphids, which sap the vitality of the plant and thus directly or indirectly affect germination of the seed. The dusting job for pea weevil control did not appear to be as effective as in 1940, he added. Some additional injury from vetch weevils and some plants killed or injured prematurely by in sect larvae working on the roots were also noted.
