PAGE rOTTB MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO. OREGON. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1941. E E FOR WOODS' More Eggs, Milk, Beef, Veal And More Farm Gardens State's Part In Effort. Corvallls, Sept. 25. Spl More eggs, more milk, more beet and veal, and more farm gardens will be Oregon's prin cipal part in agriculture's all out mobilization for defense in 1942, according to Robert B. Taylor of Pendleton, chairman of the Oregon U.S.D.A. agricul tural defense board. '.. O r e g o n's production goals, brought back from an 11 state Conference of farmers and farm leaders at Salt Lake City last week, have been reviewed and accepted by the state defense board, Taylor said. Within the next two weeks, a statewide drive will be launched to mar shall the state's productive strength behind the program. Biggest Job "Oregon agriculture has been given its biggest Job, and we must deliver," Taylor declared. "With the assurance of Secre tary Wickard that achieving there production goals is just as important to the nation as building tanks and planes, I am confident that our Oregon farm er! will get the Job done." Program leaders will now break down the state goals into county figures after which a farm-to-farm drive will be made to get. the increases promised on a voluntary basis. An 11 percent increase In milk production is asked from this state in 1842, or an Increase from 1,143,000,000 pounds to 1,689,000,000 pounds. Most of this Increase must come from increasing production of present dairy herds. Other important state goals and the percentages of increase over this year's pro duction are as follows: Eggs, 32,853,000 dozen, up 12 percent; beef cattle and calves, marketing and farm slaughter, 280,088,000 pounds, 22 percent increase; hogs, marketings and farm slaughter, 68,538,000 pounds, a decrease of five per cent; sheep and lambs, 91,250, 000 pounds, down one percent; corn, 65,000 acres, up 7 percent; oats, 330,000 acres, same as 1841; barley, 170,000 acres, a 15 percent decrease. All hay, 1,007,000 acres, same as 1941; wheat 756,000 acres (of ficial allotment), a 10 percent decrease; rye, 42,000 acres, down 20 percent; flax for seed, 8000 acres, up 150 percent; green peas for processing, 35. 000 acres, up 11 percent; snap beans for processing, 3300 acres, up 6 percent; farm gardens, an Increase from 43,034 to 59.500; commercial vegetables for fresh use, 40,700 acres, up 2V4 per cent. Oats, hay, and Irish pota toes are the same as in 1940. Defense Goals For Oregon e-v v 1 t 'i MeaMn i fe.VfciJrT? fttt. U in afc .&at .;. , J I (MOW.

Wickard this week gave the Oregon USDA Agricultural Defense Board the Job of mobilising the state's farmers behind a big production program. Among the Increases sought by production goals are milk, eggs, pork, beef and veal. Every Individual farmer will be asked to do his part. MOODY ANALYZES OREGON NEGLECT Salem, Sept. 25 (P) Oregon is receiving much defense recog nition because federal officials have little information about the 'ite's resources and advantages, Ralph E. Moody, Salem attor ney, said today after his return from Washington, D. C. Moody, former assistant state attorney general and former co ordinator in the prosecution of labor terrorists, said "there is an appalling lack of knowledge of O egon's natural advantages for industrial defense In Washing ton." He added that the responsi bility rests with the citizens of the state, whc should go after defense Industries on a big scale. WATERMELON JUSTICE Topeka, Kans. P A. L.

It has been shorn of Its laughter, applause and cheers at least so far as the Congres sional Record is concerned. And there are some who ever would welcome return of the "Bronx cheer" If they could only get the notations back into the Rec ord that their stirring speeches didn t find the customers sitting on their hands and that their wisecracks weren't Just Jocular duds. It started back in June when Rep. Clare Hoffman of Michigan risked permission to correct the Congressional Record. On a cer tain page, he said, following a speech that he had made the Record noted that there was 'Applause." "There was no applause," said Congressman Hoffman, "and I ask that the word be stricken out." Flabbergasting ' This somewhat flabbergasting request made such an Impression that Speaker Sam Rayburn made a rule. He pointed out that it was the chair's opinion that "ap plause," "laughter," etc., were not a part of the house proceed ings and should not be incorpor ated into the Record and there inafter would not be. At the moment, no one took the matter very seriously. But reading the Record, from day to day, brought a different reaction. A member got off a smart one. The house and the galleries laughed. The next day reading the Record, he checked up to see Just how funny he was and at the end of his hilarious gag was Just a cold little period and after that a quick resumption of busi ness. Get Full Cradlt It was the same when the members delivered themselves of those titillating orations that called for hand-claps and hand clasps. So far as the Record showed the members might have been reading from the 3.008th page of the cumulative statistics on the life cycle of a house fly. Into this deplorable state of affairs the other day (all the more deplorable since the senate report in the Record, with such phrases as "boisterous laughter" and "loud applause," still shows to what extent the senators are laying them in the aisles) stepped Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indiana, who as newspaperman and con gressman has been watching the Washington scene for 40 years. In all his career there had been only one such other de monstration of honesty as Mr. Hoffman's, said Mr. Ludlow. That was 35 years ago when John Shafroth, a representative from Colorado, stood on the floor and presented his resignation, dating that he had been study ing the evidence surrounding his election, and that he had come to the conclusion that the other fellow had been elected. Nevertheless, said Mr. Lud low, the ruling attendant upon this later demonstration of hon esty had caused a lot of mem bers of congress. Including him self, "bitter anguish." Closing time for Clusl'led Ads a m. Too Late to Classify 13:30 P New Studebaker Here ASTORIA GILLNETTERS CONCLUDE RICH SEASON Astoria, Ore., Sept. 25. (If) The unprecedented Columbia river salmon run has dwindled to a trickle and a third of the river fishermen are racking their nets for the winter. Those still fishing are making fair catches but the boom days that boosted many gillnetters' incomes to $3,000 for the year are ended for the season. The Greater eye appeal and a variety of mechanical improve ments are featured in the new 1942 line of Studebaker cart now on display, at the Cooksey Motor company showroom. Motorists who have been ap prehensive over the quality and appearance of the new automo biles, produced under the stress of national defense activities, will have their fears dispelled when they see the new cars, declared J. Orbln Cooksey. ' The new cars are certain to 1 please the eye. They have been worked out from designs by New York's famous Raymond Loewy and they are long, wide and delightfully streamlined. Nor is this 'low slung' ap pearance decreased by the smooth flow of hood, body pan els, top and 'tear-dropped' rear sections. The new cars may be truthfully described as ultra modern examples of smart, streamline building. This Studebaker model illus trated above combines the inti macy of a coupe with the ca pacity and roominess of a sedan. Called the "Sedan-Coupe," it is available in Commander and President 8 custom. Deluxstyle and Skyway models. Note the one-piece curved windshield. The new Studebakers are produced In three lines of cars Presidents, Commanders and Champions. In the Champion line there are two-door sedans, four-door sedans, three-passenger coupe and "double dater" coupes for five. Both President and Commander groups have four-door sedans. Land cruiser sedans with four windows, and sedan-coupes for six. Custom and deluxstyle models are avail able In each group of cars and In President and Commander lines there are also skyway models. The Studebaker Champion for 1942, as its predecessors, is a six. Its motor, which is cush ioned in rubber at three points, delivers 80 horsepower at 4000 revolutions per minute. Overdrive is available in all Studebaker models. The rear axle gear ratio of the Cham pion is 4.1 to 1 with conven tional transmission; 4.56 to 1 with overdrive transmission. The overall ratio in overdrive is 3.29 to 1. Matricide Lodged In Penitentiary Goldendale. Wash., Sept. 25.
