Order Cotton Bags
Now Is Warning
The Jackson County USDA
War board this week renewed a
warning to growers of seed
crops to order the cotton bags
they need immediately. Grow
ers are asked to act without
delay to prevent a threatened
shortage of containers.
An estimated 5000 cotton
bags will be needed for Jack
son county's cover crop seed
production this year, F. C. Hol
mes, chairman of the War board,
reported. Unless all of the bags
that will be needed are ordered
by growers within the next few
days, a shortage is certain when
harvesting begins, the chairman
warned.
Mr. Homes explained that the
war production board has allo
cated ample supplies of cotton
bagging material to make con
tainers for northwest seed crops.
However, inventories of bag
manufacturers are limited to a
30-day supply, and for this rea
son manufacturers have been
unable to make bags without a
backlog of orders. The situation
Is further complicated by the
demand for cotton bagging ma
terial. Unless material allocated
for seed bags Is used at once, it
will be taken for war purposes
or diverted to other areas for
grain bags.
COMPLBTH
FEMININE
HYGIENE
DEMANDS.
M
Much has been written about feminine
hygiene. But too often women over
look hygiene in the REAL sense of
the word - underarm cleanliness and
sweetness. You cannot be attractive with
underarms moist, stained and smelly.
Use Arrid, the new cream deodorant.
1. Arrid docs cot roc dresses, does not
irritate Ikia.
S. No waking to dry. Caa be used right
after shaving.
9. Instantly checks perspiration 1 to 3 days.
Removes odor from perspiration, keeps
armpits dry.
4, Arrid is a pure, white, greaseless, stain
less vanishing cream.
5. Awarded Appro-al Seal of American Inert
cute of Laundering as harmless to fabric.
Women use more Arrid than any other
deodorant. Try a 10, 59 or Ki jar to
day at any store which sells toilet goods.
There is no advantage In de
laying the buy of needed bags,
growers are advised. On May 25,
all types of new cotton and
burlap bags were placed under a
price ceiling by the office of
price administration. Maximum
prices for all types of second
hand burlap bags announced
March 25. Bags were divided
into two price classifications.
The first, processed bags, in
clude containers which have
been cleaned, mended and pat
ched and are ready for imme
diate re-use. The second, un
processed bairs, consists of those
which, since last being used,
have not been reconditioned so
as to be ready for immediate
reuse.
All sellers of secondhand
bags come under the terms of
the regulation these include
dealers, peddlers, and individual
sellers. Prices are cs follows:
8 oz., 24"x36", processed .11V4,
unprocessed .08Vi; 8 oz., 33"x
44", processed .19, unprocessed
.16; 10 oz., 24"x36", processed
.148, unprocessed .118; 10 oz.,
33"x44", processed .248, unpro
cessed .218.
Three Cows Finish
Guernsey Records
Three purebred Guernsey
cows in Jackson county have
completed their year's work
under official registry. Two of
these cows owned by Chas. H.
Wing include a two year old,
Sonja of Waldo Hills, produced
9573.0 pounds of milk and 445.8
pounds of butterfat in class EEE
and a three year old, Sharon of
Waldo Hills, produced 9000.1
pounds of milk and 427.0 pounds
of butterfat in class EEE.
An eleven and one-half year
old cow, Waldo's Queen Esther,
owned by George H. Stowell of
Medford, completed a year's
record with 8972.4 pounds of
milk and 551.2 pounds of butter
fat in class AAA.
Rubber Drive Holds
Gas Ration Decision
The drive for reclaimable
rubber under directive from
President Roosevelt is now on.
Upon the results of this cam
paign will rest the decision as
to whether gasoline will be ra
tioned at once or not. If enough
rubber can be salvaged so that a
large amount of tires can be re
capped, gas rationing in most
sections will not be necessary
as one of the primary objects in
gas rationing was to conserve
rubber.
Every reader should at once
pick up the scrap rubber that
can be found on any farm or in
any home and take it to the
nearest filling station, where
one cent per pound will be paid
for it. The oil companies have
undertaken the collection of this
material largely on account of
the facilities which they have
throughout the country for close
contact with the people.

County Agent.
How To Save Sugar
In Heme Canning
The government has made ar
rangements whereby home can-
ners may receive the sugar nec
essary to can fruits. Since jams
and jellies need a larger propor
tion of sugar, it is only logical
that the allotment for this pur-
nose should be low. We like
jams and jellies, but if it will
help in the victory program the
sacrifice is very small. Sugges
tions have been made that you
enn rmshed berries and fruits
with the war ration of sugar,
and then throughout the year
make up small amounts of jam
from your regular sugar ration.
The war ration of sugar, one
half cup per quart of fruit, will
make a very satisfactory pro
duct. It is possible to can with
out sugar, but not advisable as
the fruit does not retain its na
tural flavor, color or shape.
There are many ways, how
ever, of saving on the amount
of sugar needed.
1. Make your sugar syrup
with the juice of fruit rather
than water to take advantage of
the natural sugar in the fruit.
2. Crush or slice the fruit
that is to be used for sauces,
pies, etc., before canning. This
will make the fruit seem sweet
er. 3. To can whole fruit In large
pieces, add dry sugar to the
fruit, cook slowly and stir care
fully until the sugar draws the
natural juice from the fruit. It
may then be canned by open
kettle or hot water bath meth
od. The latter preserves more of
the food value.
4, Honey may be substituted
for one half the sugar required
in canning or making jams and
jellies. One cup of honey has
the same sweetness as one cup
of sugar.
5. Corn syrup may be substi
tuted for one third the sugar
called for in the recipe. Corn
syrup is only half as sweet as
sugar, thus assuming the reclpo
called for one cup of sugar it
would be necessary to use two-
thirds cup of sugar and two-
thirds cup of corn syrup.
6. Saccarine The Home Eco
nomics bureau of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture sug
gests that if saccharine is to be
used for sweetening fruit it
should be added just before
serving and not canned with
the fruit. Cooking Saccharine
brings out a bitter flavor. Na
turally, the use of saccharine
does not affect the consistency
of jellies and preserves.
7. Dry a goodly share of your
sweet cherries, peaches, pears
and apples.
To help homemakers through
out the county with their food
preservation problems, the Ore
gon State college extension ser
vice has many bulletins avail
able upon request. Two sugges
tions are "Home Food Preser
vation" and "Preservation by
Freezing."
Call or write the office of the
Home Demonstration agent,
courthouse, Medford, and we
will be glad to be of service to
you.
If you haven't attended one
of the food preservation demon
strations, plan to attend one of
the following to be held next
week for practical help on can
ning, drying and freezing.

Oil Emulsion Good
In Ditch Cleaning
Use of dlesel oil emulsion for
cleaning grass out of irrigation
ditches was demonstrated to be
very practical this year. Five
hundred feet of ditch was spray
ed on April IS and about one
week later it was burned. At
this time the grass is just start
ing to grow again.
This ditch is about four feet
wide and two and a half feet
deep. In spraying five hundred
feet of ditch, 100 gallons of
emulsion were used. This one
hundred gallons contained
twenty-five gallons of diesel oil,
seventy-five gallons of water
and one-half pound of fiuxit.
The fiuxit is necessary to cause
the oil to mix with the water.
The twenty-five gallons of oil
cost $1.87 and the fiuxit cost ten
cents so the total material cost
was about $2. Spraying took 20
minutes. It was done on Mr.
Weagant's place in Valley View.
As a result several farmers, in
cluding Mr. Weagant, A. H.
Davenhill and H. R. Westerburg,
sprayed about three miles of
laterals on their places.
The oil kills the grass and
enough oil remains on it so that
after a few days it will burn
vigorously. Therefore, it would
be desirable to fill the sprayer
with water and patrol it careful
ly while burning. A burning
permit is required.
There are a few precautions
that must be observed. It Is
essential that dlesel oil be used,
as stove oil and other more re
fined oils will not kill the grass.
Good agitation is required to
keep the oil and water mixed.
The mixture will not work in
hand sprayers. Thorough spray
lng is necessary or some grass
will not be killed.
This method of ditch cleaning
is cheap and a big labor saver.
It la best accomplished by the
cooperative efforts of several
farmers in an area.

Assistant County Agent.

Chicago Landlords
Refuse to Comply
With Rent Ceilings
Chicago, June 18. (IP) Ald
erman Arthur G. Lindell, chair
man of the committee on prices
and rents of the Chicago Com
mission on National Defense,
told the city council today that
Chicago real estate men have
refused to comply voluntarily
with the March 1, 1942, rent
ceiling recommended by the Of
fice of Price administration.
Instead, the alderman re
ported, they have permitted rent
increases ranging up to 15 per
cent for May and June, and in
many instances refrigeration
and decorating services were
curtailed along with the rent increases.
Lindell said the OPA had
been notified of the situation
and Informed that Chicago was
unaoie to handle the matter
locally. Since the alternative
to voluntary compliance is a
government rent administrator,
Lindell said It was almost a
certainty that one would be ap
pointed for this area.

FAT SALVAGE IS
NEXT WAR PLAN
Washington, June 18 (if) A
salvage campaign to recover
household cooking fats will be
launched by the war production
board some time in early July,
Lessing J. Rosenwald, chief of
the Bureau of Industrial Conser
vation, announcing this today.
asked that housewives save
cooking fats and to sell them,
when the drive starts, to neigh
borhood chain food stores, meat
markets, and frozen food locker
plants.
Fats are essential In the war
effort as a source of glycerine
for explosives and the WPB,
Rosenwald said, "hopes to se
cure over half a billion pounds a
year of wasted cooking fats from
the kitchen of American
homes."
