Extension Service of Japanese attack on Siberia! today, "war knows no seasons." E MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORGEON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1942 Heavy Mat Production Absorbed by Demand According to R. B. Taylor, chairman of the Oregon USDA War board the current meat situation ii the result of record auppliea and record demands. Now It's "Keep' em SLIDING!" IMAGINE Uncle Sam's finest and newest ship perched on Mc Shut or Mt. Whitney or Mt. Rainier 1 But for two very special greases on which they glide into the water every fine, new ship on Pacific Coast ways would be no more remote from the ocean if aground on mountain peak. Like a proper apple pie, these greases must be just so. Stand ard must bring ingredients from afar, add others, and blend with apple-pie skill be fore it can sell launching greases which are just so. Once upon time the return would scarcely have been worth the effort. In those days, marketing de mand determined most Com pany activities. A product had to pay its way. Today market ing is as closely geared to war as is production. A corps of men is constantly a watch to gee that our selling processes meet Government procedures, regulations and needs. Today we consider those greases worth nay effort. Fine new ships can't be left to hang their clothes on a hickory limb. They must go near the water 1 So, today. Standard's gasoline helps keep 'em flying... Stand rd's lubrication helps keep 'em foiling ... and Standard's greases keep 'em sliding. Standard of California The situation is not the result of farmers failure to produce or from holding back livestock tor higher prices. The 1942 live stock crop is expected to total 21.7 billion pounds as compared with an average of 17.8 billion pounds for each for this time of year. Beef marketings for the first half of 1942 were IS per cent higher than the same period a year ago and pork was up 16 per cent Despite this record produc tion, meat supplies have been unable to keep pace with the war time demands coming from the armed forces, from our al lies and from civilians here at home. A soldier eats five and one-half pounds of meat each week, while as a civilian he ate less than three pounds. Civilian consumption of meat has also gone up as . purchasing power has increased. Rationing is be ing proposed to make sure that everyone gets a fair share of the available supply. Rural Salvage Drive To Start Monday The County Salvage commit tee has purposely held off on the drive for scrap metals until harvest was pretty well over. Beginning next Monday, Sep tember 14, however, a drive will begin to get in as much farm scrap as possible. Rural salvage committees have been waiting for this and are preparing to get to work at once. A WPA salvage truck with a crew of three has been arranged for and will be in Jackson coun ty ready to go to work next Tuesday morning. This truck will be equipped with scales and winch for loading heavy pieces, and all scrap loaded will be paid for by the government direct at $5.00 per ton. With only one truck avail able, work will be rather slow and we expect as many farmers as possible to consolidate their scrap and try to get it in town by the best means possible. The fact that the government is purchasing this scrap direct removes the objection that many people have had in thinking there was some profiteering in the junk that was sold direct to dealers. Here's where every farmer can get Into this war. Get every piece of scrap you can lay your hands on, collect It in a pile and then get rid of it Your local salvage committee wants and needs your help. Help in your neighborhood to locate sources of scrap and tell your neighbors to get their scrap together so it will be ready when the government truck comes around. Four hundred sixty-three acres of Ladino clover were certified in Jackson county for seed. Very few tracts of clover have been as good as last year and most of the acreage is far be neath it in yield. Enough has already been threshed to show that, with reports from other sections on Ladino seed produc tion, there is going to be a real shortage of Ladino seed for the coming season and prices should be good. By R. O. Fowler, County Agent Conservation Needed ' In Household Rubber Every homemaker is helping to win the war when she makes common household rubber items last longer. Since ruber is a vital war material, the limited supply must be used where there is the greatest need. On the house front, families may give longer life to present articles made of rubber by guarding against the five follow ing rubber enemies. First, is heat. We can expect that the higher the temperature, the more rapidly will the rubber weaken, crack or get sticky. Cold does not harm rubber. Secondly, sunlight causes rub ber to deteriorate. The kind used in most household articles is harmed by sunlightespecial ly if the rubber is partly stret ched when the sun strikes it. Oil and grease if left in con tact with rubber cause it to swell. As a result it becomes weak. It is recommended that when a piece of rubber becomes oily or greasy that the article be carefully wiped off. Ordinary dry cleaning fluids may be used to clean oil from rubber only if the work is done quickly and carefully. Never try to clean rubber or rubberized fabrics In this way. Another enemy is cop per. This may not cause much trouble in the average house hold. Rubber gloves used with copper balls for cleaning kitch en utensils may turn soft or sticky, then hard and brittle.. We suggest that to combat these enemies, rubber should be stored, when not in use, in a cool, dark place. Remember to keep it free from sharp folds or anything that will strain or cut it. To remove grease or oil many articles may be washed with soap and warm water. If this Is not sufficient try sponging tne spot with carbon tetrachloride then rinse with water. Even in the case of a stubborn stain, never soak the rubber for more than two to three minutes In the cleaning fluid. Always use and do this job out of doors. Repair the rubber it it Is worth it Usually an article that is broken or torn can be success fully repaired. Rips and tears may be mended with friction tape, adhesive tape, electrician's tpe, plastic rubber compounds or rubber cement. It Is difficult to work on very large spots, or on rubber that has become stocky or brittle. By Marian J. Farrel, Home Demonstration Agent. The preliminary hearing of Charles R. Trescott. that extend ed over four afternoon sessions, and a recess, was dismissed by Justice of the Peace W. R.
