MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JUNE S. 1940. PAGE THREE This State's Cheese Brands Now Generally Known More Business Foreseen v ' Salem (U.PJ T he Oregon diiry industry, first in the state's agricultural scene, ranks high in milk products output in the nation, the state depart ment of agriculture points out. More than 250.000 cows are furnishing the milk and cream for the basis of the industry, the department said. Most of the dairy herds are concentrated along the coast and in the- Wil lamette valley where ample moisture provides year-round feed. Oregon ranks fifth among the states in the production of American cheese, eighth in Swiss cheese and ninth in cream cheese. Some of the Oregon brands have become generally known and have found their way into markets in all parts of the world. Oregon base cheeses are re processed into the finer var ieties and compare favorably with the imported cheeses. The cheese industry is especially important in Tillamook, Coos. Clatsop and Lincoln counties. In dried or powdered sWm milk production, Oregon is 13th In the country and in evapor ated whole milk the state is in 16th place. The department pointed out that this phase- of the industry should become more important because of the blockade of European produc ing countries. Oregon ranks 14th in the production of dried casein and 17th in the output of creamery butter. California remains the! state's largest customer for but ter, tons of it going to that state every year, especially to the San Francisco bay region. Recent efforts to standardize grades in California and Ore gon should facilitate shipment to California, the department Hid. In the important unsweetened condensed milk business the state ranks 20th in the nation. Nearly all of the nationally known producers of canned milk have factories in Oregon and distribution of Oregon can ned milk is general in the United States. Oregon also ranks 22nd in the production of sweetened condensed milk. Oregon ice cream products production is 22nd in the na tion. The ice cream industry is expanding every year and the state is getting its full share of the increase in production, the agriculture department said, 1 L READY AND W 1 1 1 1 N C Poised In a machine tun Best. French soldiers show their readiness for r "If and when." Leopold in Letter to F. R. Relates His Side of Story (Editor's note: Louis P. Lochner, chief of the Berlin bureau of the Associated Press, set out to find out all he could about the surrender of Leopold III, king of Belgium, to the Germans. Here Is his story, obtained after being under fire, on one of the most dramatic incidents df the European war. The Associated Press). By Louis P. Lochner GET FREE TREES Fl Washington. June 5 4" Distribution of forest planting stock to farmers and others in Washington and Oregon increas ed 25 per cent in 1638 over the previous year. The United States forest ser vice, announcing the figures, said the total number of trees distributed in Washington was 103.700 while in Oregon the number totaled 364.100. In Oregon half went for wood pro duction and half for windbreaks and shelter belts. The trees are distributed un der an allocation to the States made by the service. Oregon got $2,000 last year and is al lotted the same amount this year. The species most in demand was black locust. and has been used in thousands of homes since its introduction in the east in 1933. SQCE GRADUATES IN f 1 With the German Army, June S (m John Cudahy, United States ambassador to Belgium, disclosed today that President Roosevelt, from a personal let ter written him by King Leo pold III of the Belgians, knows the inside story of the king's capitulation to the Germans. Cudahy visited Leopold Sun day for two hours at the castle assigned him by the German army. Here, the defeated king hand ed Cudahy the letter for Pres ident Roosevelt in which the monarch told his side of the story. Comment Declined Cudahy declined to comment on the letter or the status of King Leopold. The American ambassador is out of touch with the world, living on an island as it were. It has contact with neither Washington nor Berlin. Still, he sticks to his post for he feels he has big work to do with the Red Cross. He realizes Belgium has food for only SO more days, assuming the Ger mans do not requisition it. Realizing that Leopold's dra matic story had never been told, we made a detour of more than 100 miles from . France into Brussels. Since Cudahy felt it Incompat ible with his present position to comment, an intimate friend of the royal family was inter viewed. His account placed Leo pold in a new light. Plight Seen This friend said that the king. lacking what he considered proper aid from the British and French, although the British ad miral Sir Roger Keyes, as liai son officer, was with him and saw the Belgian army's plight, and seeing that 500.000 Belgian civilians were mingled with his troops and threatened with de struction, had to decide between. the welfare of his people and considerations of prestige. According to Leopold's friend, Hubert Pierlot, premier of Belgium, and other cabinet members urged the king to flee with them when they saw the helplessness of the Belgian posi tion. Leopold proudly replied that "Regardless of what my fate may be, I stall stay with my Belgian army. Regardless of what may happen to my Belgian people, I shall go back to them.'' Thereupon the cabinet mem bers, according to this friend fled to a safe place (Paris) and from there "threw mud at their sovereign after taking the Bel gian treasury with them." (The Belgian cabinet and par liament in exile "disowned" Leopold). Leopold himself was inacces sible to us. His friend's story presumably coincides with what the Belgian king wrote Presi dent Roosevelt. Mother With King The king's mother is with him at the castle assigned him. whose location I am requested not to disclose. His children have been taken elsewhere for safety. About 120 Americans are left in the Brussels area and an other 120 in the Antwerp re gion. None of them has been injured during the brief Belgian war, so far as the American embassy, knows. In Washington, Stephen Early, White House press sec retary, reported that the letter which King Leopold turned over to Ambassador Cudahy had not reached President Roosevelt to day. Cudahy, Early said, seemed to be having trouble getting his diplomatic correspondence back to this country. AGREEMENT ON HOPS SUBMITTED FOR VOTE Washington, June 5. CP) A federal marketing agreement for hops produced in California, Oregon and Washington will be mhtnittMt tn the industry for approval before June 15. the agricultural depart ment an nounced today. Ballots are be ing mailed to all growers.

IZVESTIA LAUDS ALLIES ON DUNKERQUE ESCAPE London, June 5. (IP) A Mot cow radio broadcast intercepted here today quoted the Soviet government newspaper Izvestia as paying high tribute to the Allies for their withdrawal of troops from Dunkerque, Almost as unbelievable as Ripley's "believe-it-or-notf." are the miracle dinners being turn ed out during the demonstra tions at Ward's this week. "A complete dinner in 10 minutes" is the theme of the demonstra tions, and a menu of meat, po tatoes, carrots and beets is cook ed before your very eyes in proof of this statement. Oliver K. Cargo, Ward's fam ous Spee-Dee cooker chef, who is in charge of the demonstra tions, points out that because of the short space of time neces sary to cook these meals and the special features of the cook er, all vitamins and mineral salts of the foods are retainsd in the process, food flavors and natural colors are also re tained during the cooking, thus giving more healthful food, as well as a big saving in both time and money. According to Chef Cargo, the cooker is capable of cooking meal for five persons in ap proximately one-third the time required by ordinary metnods 'The opening of the saucepan," continued Cargo, "Is smaller than the stainless steel cover which fits inside of the pan. I This fact and the special alloys 1 used in the pan itself make the miracle dinners possible." I Cargo is demonstrating the Spce-Dee saucepan all this week i every hour at the local Mont gomery Ward store, which is the first to introduce this mir acle pan to Mrdford house wives. The pan has been dem- onst rated in both world fairs I 10 IMPROVE QUALITY Salem (U.R) Cream graders of the state department of ag riculture made more than 700 farm calls and 223 creamery calls during April, completing 7,500 sediment tests. 115 but terfat tests and grading 4,628 cans of cream.
