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 ! 'i!d be discouraged

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.
To help solve local problems
In home food preservation,

FEW FARM HOPE
New York, March 28 (JF)
American colds plus the war
have forced another industry
to turn to this country's farmers
as a source for raw materials.
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.
