MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1942. PACK VTNB 0 SEAL SALE OVER IMS TOLD Over $3,077 Collected And Books Not Yet Closed Is Report To Association. Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Agent Robert G. Fowler With more than $3077 collect ed and the books not yet closed, Jackson county had more than achieved its goal in the 1941 Christmas seal sale to combat tuberculosis yesterday and the 10 per cent increase over last year, requested by Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, executive secretary of the Oregon Tuberculosis asso ciation. The report was given by Miss Helen Bullis, county chairman, before the bi-monthly meeting of the Jackson County Public Health association, sponsor of the drive. Miss Bullis stated that while gome large donations had decreased this year that many, many more people had contrib uted to the drive and that the increased goal was the result of this wider interest in the sale, extending into all sections of the county. This result was particu larly gratifying to the workers, Miss Bullis stated, for they know that the increased number of contributors means an in creased spread of the education al program, one of the most im portant factors in the drive. IS Per Cent More The increase in funds over last year is approximately 15 per cent to date, she stated. Reports on the sale were also made by Mrs. Ritchie, Prospect chairman, who stated that her precinct responded with enthusi asm: and Mrs. rieea v-arxer oi Rogue River, whose report showed an increase during the vears she has been chairman from $17 the first year to $94.76 this year. Workers Eager Mrs. Dwight Findley, chair man nf the booth sales, also re ported Increased enthusiasm for the drive this year over last, adding that the volunteer work ers seemed more than eager to participate. Mrs. J. C. S. Weills, associa tion president, explained that 75 per cent of the money taken in remains in Jackson county for work here. , Half Million Plant To Recover Chrome From Sand in Gurry Marshfield, Ore., Jan. 30 VP) Ktcme Corporation, a new Oregon firm headed by C.

Perhaps there isn't much scrap on your farm, but when you add it to that of your neigh bor and to that of all the farms in the state it will make a very substantial contribution to the nation's steel supply. Collection of scrap iron, sponsored by the County U.S. D A. War Board, is progressing rapidly 25 cars have already been shipped. Government regulated prices are $8 for No. 2 scrap and $10 for cast Iron. The Medford Bar gain House is the agency hand ling scrap for this county. Farm Machinery And Repairs There is every evidence that the year 1942 will be a very critical one for farmers from the standpoints of obtaining equipment and labor. A fairly high priority on farm machin ery has been arranged, extend ing to September 1. It is neces sary for all farmers to order their new farm machinery now. in order to hold this priority. It will be well to place your orders for future needs, as it will be difficult to obtain new equipment Just at the time it is needed. Farmers unable to hire enough labor will have to rely upon machinery. All repairs on farm equip ment should be taken care of at this time. It Is necessary that manufacturers know the quan tlty of repair parts that will be required, therefore, we would suggest that you check over your machinery and order nec essary parts from your dealer at once. This is a defense Job to which every farmer In the country can contribute by prompt repairs, better care and more efficient use of the ma chinery now on hand. Burlap Sacks Most of the burlap used in the United States comes from the Far East, principally from India. For obvious reasons the supply has been completely cut off. Farmers normally use three- fourths of the burlap Imported for grain sacks; although there is a supply of burlap in this country at present, two-thirds has been frozen for use by the army, mostly for sand bags. We suggest that the present supply of sacks on hand be checked carefully, mended if not too far gone, and stored. It is obvious that the present supply of bur lap sacks will have to do the job for the coming harvest. Jersey Breeders Jersey breeders of Jackson and Josephine counties met in the courthouse auditorium Jan uary 17, for the annual meet ing of the Rogue River Jersey Cattle club. Officers elected were C.

This is an en thusiastic group that believes in the Jersey cow and is boosting for the breed all the time. Nutrition for Defense Each of us wants to do our part In promoting our fight to victory.
