THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1942. THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON condensed milk, nine million pounds of cheese and five million pounds of dry skim milk every week AMA has stepped up its egg pur chases recently to prevent heavy spring production from causing price slumps. Present rates of lay and the increase in numbers of hens in flocks on Oregon farms indicate that the goal for a 13 per cent increase in egg production will be met.

FUTURE FARMER GROUP AIDS IN RURAL WAR JOB A seven-point war-time pledge was adopted by the Oregon Future Far mers of America in the annual state convention at Oregon State college, attended by 480 delegates from 54 of the state’s 55 chapters. The an nual report of officers showed im portant war work already being car ried on, but such activities will be redoubled in the year ahead, it was decided. FFA students already have in- vested $25,748.73 in war savings stamps and bonds, while the various chapters have collected 471 tons of LOWELL as S tockman scrap metal as a direct aid in the war effort. Agricultural projects have been geared to the food-for- victory demands throughout Oregon, the report shows. Elvin Pitney of Junction City was chosen state president; Alvin Kreger of Albany, vice president; Willis Bailey, Enterprise, secretary; Jay Hooten, Roseburg, treasurer, and Jim Dial, La Grande, reporter. Hon orary State Farmer degrees were awarded George Angell, Oswego, representative of the Oregon far mer, and E. H. Greenwood, Portland, secretary of the Oregon Bankers as sociation. The seven-point wartime pledge follows : 1. We are heartily in favor of con tinuing our basic program of work, which is fundamentally essential . . . whether it be in time of war or in time of peace. 2. Remain on the farm instead of taking jobs in the city in order that our training can be utilized to the best advantage in the production of food. 3. Cooperate in a training program for city youth by helping to place them on farms and, where possible, help these urban youths to become familiar with farm work. 4. Conduct our farm projects in such a way that they will contribute most to the “Food for Victory” pro gram. Collect salvage material essential to the war effort. 6. Assist in the repair and reno vation of farm marchinery on the home farm. 7. Purchase war stamps and bonds. íor Congresa And District Republican...

AMERICAN EAGLE ESCORTS OREGON I FOOD ACROSS SEA America’s allies are looking to this nation for food as well as guns, tanks and planes, and products from Ore gon farms are helping in the battle against aggression all over the globe, the state USDA war board reports. The American eagle recently adopt ed as the U. S. “trademark” is flying over lend-lease shipments of Oregon cheese, dried and condensed milk, and eggs to feed the fighting forces of the United Nations. Be cause dairy and poultry products are this state’s most important contribu tions to lend-lease needs, the state war board asks farmers to make ev- ery effort to meet production goals established for these commodities. • Oregon’s share of the 1942 national dairy production goal has been set at 1,590,000.000—a billion and a half -—pounds of milk. Meeting this goal will require an 11 per cent increase over last year’s production. In the farm defense plan canvass last fall, Oregon farmers indicated that this goal could be attained. Although there are 3 per cent more milk cows on Oregon farms this year, a war board survey shows that milk production so far this year is lag ging considerably short of the goal. Poor early pasture conditions are seen as mainly responsible for the lag in production. To overcome this, farmers are advised to feed heavier feeding, the war board points out. The O. S. C. extension service has issued four new brief bulletins to aid dairy farmers with their production problems. The government’s policy on pur chasing dairy products has not been altered, the war report says.

Man-Made Rubber : COUNTY COMMISSIONER GIVE ME A BREAK AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU PAGE FIVE NEW YORK.—Planned expansion of synthetic rubber plants will be carried through on a scale that will make the United States at least 50 per cent independent of natural rub ber sources within little more than a year, the American Petroleum Industries committee predicted. Reviewing the progress of the synthetic program sponsored by the government, the committee pointed out that present plans call for pro- duction of 400,000 tons of synthetic rubber annually by 1943, compared with estimated annual rubber re quirements of 800,000 tons. This program, it added, will be based “almost entirely" on oil and natural gas as raw materials. The major problems on which this expansion depends, the committee said, are government financing, steel priorities and possible conflict with the petroleum industry’s pro gram for production of 100-octane aviation gasoline. The committee predicted that priorities also would be granted for the tons of high-grade alloy steels needed to build the new plants re | quired for the $400,000,000 synthetic I rubber program, because of the government's interest in the project. While details of any possible con- flict with the rapidly expanding I aviation gasoline production have not yet been clarified, the committee predicted that the petroleum “start- | ing points" — butanes, isobutanes, butylenes and other gaseous hydro- carbons in cracked refinery gasses and natural gas which are used in both synthetic rubber and 100-octane gasoline—would be made available.

The MacEvoy Shipbuilding com pany, under direct contract with the United States Maritime commis sion, will build the 6,000-ton tank ers. The company expects to employ 10,000 men during the first year. Work has started already and the first keel will be laid early in March. A minimum of 30 tankers will be built during the first year. Opera tions are on a 24-hour-a-day basis. The tankers will be 360 feet long and will carry 15,000 tons of oil. Construction costs are estimated as only one-half that of steel ships. Old shipbuilding facilities here are being reconditioned and three of the 10 existing ways were put in condition in 10 days. The construction of these new fa cilities gives Savannah three ship building concerns. One company is building merchant marine ships while the other is turning out mine sweepers for the navy.
