When you read this Friday morning, remember it is primary election day. From both Republican and Democratic candidates are to be chosen nominees for Fall elections throughout the state and all the counties. You, no doubt, have preferences, and the only way to show it is by your ballot at the polls to- day. Of course you are busy, but this is your govern ment, and the vox populi is what determines wheth er it is good government, or weak government. At no time in our history, since the Revolution, has the vital issues of that our forefathers fought for and es tablished by constitution, been so threatened. These American rights, so established, are sustained by the right and privilege of free American citizens to vote in secret places their will. If we are going to eat well next year, help will have to be provided for farmers during crop har vesting season. Because of conditions it is already well known that production in this area will be much less for 1942, and unless farmers can secure help at the right time, much damage will be caused to the crops that are being produced. Armies must be fed and industrial producers must be fed, and the har vesting problem is not being met by the wise acres or “Solomons” of management. Oregon’s food-drying facilities, that exceed in volume those of any other state, can be made quickly available to further the nation’s war effort in a gigantic food-drying program if national officials will cooperate by indicating the type and volume of foods needed and prices to be expect ed, according to a comprehensive report submitted to Washington by William A. Schoenfeld, dean and di rector of agriculture at Oregon State college. The report was drawn up at Dean Schoenfeld’s request by Henry Hart man, head of horticultural research of the experiment station; E. H. Wie gand, head of the department of food industries, and O. T. McWhorter, ex tension horticulturist. It shows that when the last detail ed survey was made by the state de partment of agriculture in 1938, Ore gon had 281 food driers of various types, capable of handling 100,000 bushels of fresh produce per day. The government is already encour aging the dehydration of many types of vegetables and is seeking a large volume of dried foods for shipment all over the world. Without sacri fice of food values, dried foods are light in weight, of small volume, need no refrigeration, and keep long per iods, according to the college men. Even at present production levels, Oregon has about 15 million tons of fruits and 13 million tons of vege tables per year suitable for dehydra tion, the report points out. Oregon’s wide diversity of crops, furthermore, would make a year-round drying pro gram possible, with small fruits, cherries, and certain kinds of vege tables to be dried in the summer, with apples, pears, potatoes, cabbage and root crops to be dried the re mainder of the year. For 25 years the state college has carried on research in drier construc tion and fruit-drying methods, which will be invaluable at this time, al though additional research is needed in the case of vegetable dehydration, Dean Schoenfeld points out.

Alba ny St., Yuma, Colo., has been admit ted as an officer candidate to the Air Forces Officer Candidate School at Miami Beach, Florida. After suc cessfully completing a twelve week intensive course of instruction, offi cer candidate McCracken will be commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the army of the United States, air forces. At this school, the first of its kind, the officer candidate studies 35 spe- cialized courses in administrative, personnel and supply duties. Upon graduation, officers will be assigned to duty in one of these depatrments in the air forces thus relieving trained pilots from such duties and allowing them to devote their full time to flying. The immediate avail ability of housing and training faci lities plus excellent climatic condi tions prompted army officials to choose Miami Beach as the ideal lo cation for the school.

They w ill be as difficult to handle as last year, very soon. The state authorities have been here and are endeavoring to instruct camp operators and oth- ers as necessary methods to comply with state laws. If violations occur, punishment will follow. It is not that such authority wants to use any unreasonable methods, but that the health of the community must be protected by all reasonable methods. There are various ways of preserving cleanliness, but careless ness and indifference can lead to epidemics which are hard to control. -’s somethin Heres NEW -42-WAY burs We’ve come a long way in Electric Rates, tool $11.90 , HOW THE COST OF 100 KWH ♦9.20 OF ELECTRICITY (residential) HAS I DECREASED IN UMATILLA COUNTY ♦8.60 TOWNS SERVED BY PP&L. ♦5.10 ♦4.55 ♦3.17 JOHN DEERE 1910 1911 1915 1925 1928 1931 1936 1939 1942 Here s an entirely new type of two-wav n gauge wheels for the plow and opening to keep lands the Plow ev el at all times even when It’s new in design—new in features you’ll like.
