WORKERS ON FARMS FROZEN TO JOBS BY RECENT WAR ORDER FEEDING AN ARMY HELD IMPORTANT The war manpower commission’a recent order freezing workers on live stock, poultry and dairy farms is seen by A. R. Coppock, chairman of the county USDA War Board, as definite recognition of the fact that feeding an army is just as important as arming it. Mr. Coppock beileves that county farmers can now plan for all-out pro duction in 1943 with assurance that agriculture will get its share of the nation’s manpower. This view is shared by Robert B. Taylor, chairman of the state USDA War Board. He believes that attainment of the ob jectives of the program will do much to relieve the farm labor situation in the state. , The program will include classifi cation of dairy, livestock and poultry workers into 3B under selective ser vice occupational deferment of such workers who have no dependents, non-recruitment of such workers by the armed forces, recruiting of addi tional workers to replace those who have gone into military service or war industries, and training of unskilled workers, including women, to keep vi tal war foods and raw materials flow ing into the war effort. i Provisions are also included to halt the drain on the farm labor supply caused by farm workers leaving for work in the shipyards and other war industries. The stabilization program is being applied only to livestock, poultry and dairy farms because milk, meat and eggs can be classed along with planes, tanks and shells as basic war mater ials, the chairman explained. While all farms are producing food needed in the war effort, it was necessary to put “first things first,” Mr. Coppock said, in explaining what will consti tute an “essential farm” under the program. A minimum of 12 milk cows, or the equivalent in other livestock, is neces sary for “essential” classification. However, a farm with 8 cows will qualify, if the numbers are increased to 12 in six months. Assistance will be given such operators to obtain ad ditional land, livestock or equipment needed to bring their operations up to the standard. Livestock and poultry farms are related to minimum-sized dairy farms, based on the following standards for 1 dairy cow. 8.5 hogs raised: 3.2 beef cows: 4.8 yearlings; 3.9 two-year old steers; 3.5 feed-lot cattle: 16.5 ewes; 80 feedlot lambs: 74 hens; 250 chickens raised; 500 broilers and 40 turkeys raised. The above standards do not apply to range animals for which standards will be issued at an early date. FUEL SITUATION SEEMS CRITICAL n P - 4 % Sa. a True to early predictions, a fuel shortage is already being experienced here, fuel dealers reporting not a lump of coal, a Prestolog or Bri quets available in Hermiston. Stan field, Umatilla and Echo. Shipments are underway and expected soon but without a doubt the first cars on the scene will be greatly in demand and will be rationed in order to provide heat for as many families as possible. As to how serious the matter will become before the winter months pass can only be surmised but the situation will be none too pleasant. Many citizens took advantage of the repeated warnings this summer to lay in a supply but many were not in a position to do so and are now run ning short. Dealers will do every thing in their power to supply the demand but are not promising an ample supply because of transporta tion facilities.
