increase in numbers of hens in flocks

goal for a 13 per cent increase in egg
production will be met.

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.

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. Since
January 1, the Agricultural Market
ing administration has been buying
an average of one million cases of

Man-Made Rubber :
COUNTY COMMISSIONER
GIVE ME A BREAK AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU

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.

Shipbuilding Is Booming
In the Port of Savannah
SAVANNAH, GA.—The seaport of
Savannah is booming with defense
activities, latest of which calls for
the outlay of $60,000,000 in building
concrete tankers for oil cargoes
within a year.
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.
