Agriculture in this irrigated area has a withering prospect for production during 1942. Day by day young farmers are being called to the service, and because of the demand and big wages many others are signing up for defense work. Both are deplet ing the ranks of good workers on irrigated farms. The direct results already apparent will be low pro duction of all crops, and a low degree of farming. One large northwest hatchery recently reported can cellation of orders amounting to 250,000 chicks, and many of the baby roosters are being gassed. The tur key business will not be so strong, and dairying is on the decline. Meat production must be less with the depletion of pastures and hay. With the removal of the Japs from the gardening, and other coast areas, and expenses of higher wages will reduce vegetable production. All this is war, and something we must accept and meet the best way we can. It means that all those who remain on the farms must produce all they can through longer hours and careful planning. It also means that many in towns will have to go to the rescue of farmers at harvest time. If the war continues long a draft of farm lab- Orel’s may be necessary, and it is possible that a re duction in defense wages to meet a better parity with farm prices may be exacted. It is alleged that there is plenty, and surplusses of grain, but vegetab les, fruits, meats and dairy and poultry products are as necessary. This war was not of our choice, but we have it to fight to a successful end. We cannot do this on empty stomachs or ill balanced ra tions. With patience and patriotism we must con front the task ahead of us. We hope that our farm ers will cheerfully meet the new conditions, and do all they can to prevent a falling off in our own share of our kind of sustenance. 8ACK/ NOTICE OF CHANGE OF HOURS Hereafter the bank will open at 10:00 A.

Pacific Power & Light has put up all the money for its power plants, transmission lines and sub stations. and has taken all the risks of pioneering and development. 1931 1936 1939 1942 Instead of receiving a tax subsidy, PP&L has already paid over $10.000.000 in taxes. This year alone its rapidly in increasing tax bill will exceed $1,000.000. You get lower and lower electric rates — government gets more and more tax money.
