FARM CREDIT CO-OP
TO AID DEFENSE BY
Members of the Medford Pro
duction Credit association are
buying their "share in the
United States" through the pur
chase of defense savings stamps,
which went on sale at the asso
ciation's office in Medford to
day. Bren H. Starcher, secretary-
treasurer of the association, an
nounced the local farmers'
credit cooperative, a unit of the
Farm Credit Administration,
was handling the stamps as its
part in the nation-wide program
to encourage Investment by
farmers in defense savings.
"There are three reasons why
farmers should invest in defense
savings," Starcher pointed out.
"First, it is a good thing for
the country to have as large
number of its people as possible
own a share in their govern
mcnt. Second, wide Investment
in defense savings will have a
steadying Influence on the cost
of living. Third, In any time of
emergency or uncertainty, It is
wise for the people to save
money."
Stamps may be purchased in
denominations of 10, 23 and SO
cents, $1 and $3, and may be
exchanged for defense saving's
bonds when the stamps total
$18.73. Such a bond has a ma
turity value of $23 in 10 years.

Based on the blossom-to-harvest
theory of 120 days, picking
of the Bartlrtt pear crop should
start the end of next week, ac
cording to Assistant County
Agent C. B. Cordy. However, he
doubts if any will be ready by
that time, and figures harvesting
will start full swing around
August 1.
Threshing of vetch seed start
ed today in many fields, and
County Agent R. G. Fowler said
it would be one of the best grain
crops of the valley. Threshing
and binding of wheat, oats and
barley is underway throughout
the county.

RATIONING NEAR
L
'Party Is Over' As Far As
Retail Sales Boom Con
cerned, Is Warning
Atlantic City, N. J.. July 14
(JP) Leon Henderson assert
ed bluntly today that "the
party Is over" as far as the re
tail sales boom occasioned by
defense spending is concerned.
The administrator of the Of
fice of Price Administration and
Civilian Supply said in a speech
prepared for a meeting 4)f the
New York Housewares Manu
facturers association that de
fense needs would require ra
tioning of the materials which
go into manufacturing articles
the public has been buying In
ever-increasing amounts.
It already has become appar
ent, he said, that practically no
aluminum would be available
for civilian use after military
needs were met and "it la be
coming evident now that the
amount of copper, steel, nickel
zinc, chromite, manganese and
a number of other materials re
quired for armaments is going
to be so great that we won t
have enough left over for con
sumers durable goods."
Inflation Danger
This, he continued, "means
rationing, not by cards at the
stores but at the raw materials
line, and rationing means that
someone is going to get hurt,
Henderson said there was
I grave danger of inflation and
that the Office of Price Admin
istration was going to "barge
ahead in the fight against it

Mabel C. Bruce has filed a
suit against P. O. Leitherer for
annulment of an agreement for
logging of timber on her land
in the Butte Falls-Prospect dis
trict. The complaint sets forth that
last September she entered a
contract with the defendant for
sale and purchase of the timber
on her land. Part of the contract
called for construction of a log
ging road to reach her land, as
well as other parcels in the same
area where Leitherer had con
tracts. In April of this year, work
was started on the road, but not
completed, the complaint avers.
