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. ,

Scrap Iron
Drive Is On 1
Scrap iron piled up on the
farm isn't doing anyone any
good. 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. J. Hunter, Talent, pres
ident; Frank SchMtzwohl,
Grants Pass, vice president; E.
B. Poyer, Ashland, treasurer;
R. G. Fowler, Medford, secre
tary. Fifty dairymen attended
the meeting including 4-H club
leaders and members of Jersey
calf clubs. A program was out
lined for the 1942 season, which
will include two tours one in
Josephine and one In Jackson
counties, 4H club sponsorship
and other matters of interest to
Jersey breeders. 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. The part of the average
woman in Jackson county will
not be spectacular, but will cer
tainly be worthwhile. Have you
been wondering what you
might do as your part in our
defense program?
In the first place, live by the
rules of good nutrition. Pre
vent waste In your home. Pro
tect the security of your chil
dren by keeping calm. Attend
nutrition for defense meetings.
which will be started in Feb
ruary, to keep up on the latest
nutrition, information and pass
it on to your friends through
the "good neighbor" plan. Plan
your dally work so you will
have extra time for Red Cross

neglecting your family's needs.
Our first and foremost job in
saving your democracy is to do
better our every day job as a
homemaker.
