WILL OUR FARM PRODUCTION FAIL?
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.

these amazing reductions in your elec

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. Business management always
gives a better bargain!
