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,

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.

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

hops produced in California,
Oregon and Washington will be
mhtnittMt tn the industry for

agricultural depart ment an
nounced today. Ballots are be
ing mailed to all growers.

Blanks used in applying for

cured at the county agent's of
fice or by writing directly to
the state forest department at
Salem. County Agent R. G.
Fowler explained. A nursery

Ashland. June 5. (Spl.)
Ward V. Croft, director of band
and orchestra and instructor of
instrumental music in the city
schools since September, 1927,
resigned the position May 27.
School Supt. Theo. J. Norby
announced today.

instrumental music in the Leb
anon schools during the past
year, has been selected by the

day. He eaid he had considered
the position for some time.

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
