Rubber Situation Serious On Farms The rubber shortage and Ik effect on farm transportation Is very critical, and demands that every farmer do cverythltn possible to conserve his tires by eliminating unnecessary trips and pooling transportation with , his neighbors. While it is per fectly true that fnri.iers are placed In elklblc classification? for truck and passenger tires, there is compelling evidence that the shortage Is so serioiu that eliribihty may not make tires : vii'aMe All unnecessary travel !

Larger economy euce, too. How... CtNDT COATIP r mcuum age slightly below normal and with prices expected to remain relatively high during the year, home gardeners should consider planting a supply of potatoes for home use. Early potatoes for use dur ing summer and fall should be planted now. Bliss Triumph, a deep pink variety, and Quick Lunch, a light pink variety .ire among the best pink pota toes. Chippewa Is an excellent early white potato and Irish Cobbler is good mld eason variety. Earliest of All is one of the earliest white potatoes and is excellent for baking, but goes to pieces when cooked. There are other varieties but some have a tendency to grow very knobby in this area. A decided advantige of pink potatoes over white ones Is that the soil can be used as a store house. You can start digging them for use as soon as they are large enough and dig them only as you need them until early winter. The white var ieties can be dug early as need ed, but the digging must be completed when the plants are mature. If not dug, white pota toes develop black centers. When planting use either whole small potatoes or cut larger potatoes Into seed pieces. These cut seed pieces should be placed In a wet gunny sack and stored at 60 to 70 degrees for 48 hours to allow the cut surfaces to cork over. This pre vents rotting of the seed piece if the weather turns cold and wet. Dusting the seed with land plaster or sulfur aids In this process. Seven pounds of potatoes will seed about 100 feet of row. If the yield is good, this will pro duce about 100 pounds of pota toes. The hills should be spaced 18 Inches apart In the rows and three feet between the rows. Beets for early summer should be planted now. A fifty foot row of Early Model variety will supply an average family. They will mature about July 1. They can be seeded fairly thick and the young plants can be thin ned and used for greens. Beet greens are richer in vitamins than the beet itself. The red berry disease of black berries can be controlled by spraying now with a lime sulfur solution. One gallon of liquid or four pounds of dry lime sul fur In 12 gallons of water Is the proper solution. This should be applied when the new shoots are from two to six Inches long. By C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent. Conservation la Farm Watchword It Is sensible as well at pat riotic to take care of what you already have during these times. Wool is one of these items that will become scarce for the civil ian population for the duration. Miss Lucy Lane, specialist in clothing and textiles, Oregon State college, urges each of us to "help conserve the limited wool supply by making every wool garment you now have last as long as possible." Miss Lane passes on several wool-con serving suggestions from the V. S. department of agriculture's bureau of home economics. "Keep up the appearance of a wool garment, and you pro long its lite. Brush wool coats and dresses thoroughly after eacn wearing. Hang garments on hangers a soon as you take mem on. If you can, allow a garment to hang a few day after one or two days of wear The "rest" lets the wool spring back In place, reduces the imount of pressing needed.- "Hang wool clothing out to mn and air occaslomlly. Sun Kin moths as well as their egg and larvae. Ordinary dry clean iiik aiso kiiis moms, so does a washing in neutral soap. "Never iron wool. Stem nres-. it. You can do this with an ordinary iron and two press cimns one of wool, the other of linen or firm cotton." One of the biggest question? in the minds of local heme makers Is "How can I be sure that I will be able to get the facilities to preserve the food I raise In my victory aarden? Word came to our desk this week from Miriam Blrdseye. federal extension nutritionist, on the probable supplies of home canning equipment avail able In 1842. This report Is a c o m b I n a tlon of information from the department of agri culture and the war production board. To give you some Idea as to what you ran plan on we quote from Miss Birdsrye's report: Pressure cookers: No alum inum will be available In 1042. Supply In the hands of mall order houses and Jobbers prac tically exhausted. Replacement covers for used Monlag Furnaces at Air Conditioning Systems LEONARD ELECTRIC CO. 309 E. Main. Phone 4427 irult Jars: As zinc and tin are critical materials, replacement covers manufactured for Mason type Jars will gradually change to the two-piece type, because the separate band can be re moved after a vacuum has de veloped within the Jar, and re used many times. Bands man ufactured under 1942 priorities probably will be of metal other than zinc or tin. We are assum ing that a sufficient number of replacement covers for Mason top Jars will be available. Metal tops for non-Mason types, like the "Kerr Economy" Jars, will also be available. New glass fruit Jars: Probably there will be a larger percent age of new Jars with all-glass tops made this year, and the nubile wall probably be urged to purchase these Insofar as they are available. However, Mason-type Jars, and other types with covers for which non-critical metals can be used, will also be on the market. We believe total supply will be suf ficient to care for demand for new Jars actually needed. Rubber Jar rings and rubber or composition gaskets: We are assured that loose rubber rings for Jars now commonly used and material for flowed-on rub ber composition on metal tops, will probably be available in adequate quantities. Tin cans for home canning: A war production board an nouncement on February 23 says: "Manufacturers are permitted to sell home-canning type cans to hardware stores and other distributors buying for resale to home or institutional canners. "An Increase in home can ning this year is desirable In order to lift some of the pres sure on commercial canners The department of agriculture hopes to raise home-cannln" about 100 percent above 1941." While it Is expected that there will be enough tin cans available for use in home can ning, use of glass Jars is en couraged, rather than expand lng canning in tin.

The Vick Chemical company said it had placed an education al order with an essential oil refiner for menthol imported from Japan and China until the war started to be extracted from peppermint oil. The company said this would be the first commercial use of American peppermint oil as a source of menthol, a medicinal chemical used principally for treatment of colds. "Farmers in Indiana and j Michigan, growing nearly 80 per cent of last year's crop of peppermint oil, will be the greatest beneficiaries of the new demand," the company said.
