PAGE THREE Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORP OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1942 Rationing of Farm Machinery Due Soon The Jackson county USDA War board announced today that the new farm machinery rationing program will be in operation in this county within a few days. Rationing will be handled by a county rationing committee composed of the county agricul tural conservation chairman and two farmers appointed by the county war board. The altern ates will also be named. The program was placed in effect by the U. S. department of Agriculture order of Septem ber IT temporarily freezing all farm machinery in the hands of dealers. Administration of the rationing program was delegated by the War Production board and the Office of Price Admin istration to the Department of Agriculture. Fred C. Homes of Ashland, chairman of the county war Look Out for Wartime Constipation! Lack of "bulk" one of common causes Dont be surprised if you feel an bogged down these war days! Look at how you live I Longer hours, harder work. Irregu lar meals your whole way of living 'i been upset Specially eating habits. Meals an apt to be hurried, improp erly balanced and the important mat ter of bulk neglected. And lack of "bulk" Is one of the com mon causes of constipation 1 Medicinal laxatives give only temporary relief be cause they dont get at the cause. .The answer to this kind of trouble Is drinking plenty of water and eating a erisp, golden cereal kiliooo's au-siAH. For this delicious breakfast food supplies the needed "bulk," cor net the cause. Why not start eating au-sauf yourself? Made by Kellogg's ta Battle Creek, board described rationing as the only method of insuring fair distribution of available equip ment and its placement where it will do the most good in war time farming production. "Farmers will not be sur prised at machinery rationing," Mr. Homes said. "The appeals they have received to comb their farms for scrap iron has convinced most of them that critical metals are terribly short, and that every ounce of steel that goes into .a new farm tractor must be taken from a new tank or gun." Farm machinery in one classi fication (group A), which is scarce and especially needed to meet current agricultural needs, may be sold only upon approval by the county farm machinery rationing committee. Machin ery in a second category (group B), including items somewhat less scarce, may be sold upon certification by the farmer to the dealer that it is required to meet current agricultural needs. A third classification (group C), includes the smaller items that may be sold without restriction. Croup A includes beet lifters, beet loaders, combines, corn pickers, disc harrows, feed grinders, . fertilizer spreaders, grain drills, grain elevators, hay balers, lime spreaders, manure spreaders, milk coolers, milking machines, pickup balers, potato diggers, shredders and tractors (including garden tractors.) Group B machinery, which can be purchased upon certifica tion to a dealer that it is needed for current production, includes most other farm equipment and machinery. Group C, which is exempt from any form of rationing con trol, includes hoes, rakes, forks, scythes, shovels and all hand operated and one and two-horse drawn types of farm machinery and equipment not included in group A. There are no restrictions on rr School Days-Vitamin Time EXAMPLE: Even a (light deficiency of Vitamin B results in Poor Appetite Poor Elimination Low Efficiency Result: Impaired Learning Low Grade.

In creased production of hairy vetch and annual ryegrass is wanted and commodity credit corporation will offer guaran teed prices for an unlimited amount of these seeds. Prices will remain the same as this year's schedule 10 cents a pound for top-grade hairy vetch and S cents a pound for top grade ryegrass. For Austrian winter peas and Willamette vetch, no expansion is desired above this year's rec ord acreage. Price support pro grams wll be continued for the production from an acreage substantially the same aa the 1942 acreage. Prices offered by Commodity Credit Corporation will remain unchanged, 6V4 cents for Willamette vetch, S cents for Austrian winter peas. No price support program has been announced for Hun garian and common vetch or crimson clover. Seed acquired by the govern ment is shipped to the Southern states, where It is distributed to growers under the conserva tion materials program to com bat soil erosion and depletion. This year, with available ni trate supplies needed to make munitions, legume cover crops are even more important as a means of supplying nitrogen to the soil on Dixieland farms. The changes in the program do not reflect any failure on the part of Oregon growers to produce the needed amounts of seed, the chairman declared. The adjustments for 1943 rep resent changes in need, brought about largely by war condi tions. By R. O. FOWLER, County Agent.

WIDTH Si-34 INCHES Wickard Says National Serv ice Act Should Be Eyed As Labor Shortage Remedy. Washington, Sept. 24 (U.R) Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard declared today that the farm labor shortage made the prospects of continued high food production "dark." He said a national service act "should be given consideration" as one possible solution of the prob lem. Other high administration of ficials, including undersecre tary of War Rooert P. Patter son and Director Paul V. Mc Nutt of the war manpower com mission .also have said it soon may be necessary to enact a law granting the government authority to compel a worker to use his talents where they would be of the greatest service to the war program. "We must weigh every possi ble solution and be prepared to take the necessary action," Wickard told the house agricul ture committee which is inves tigating the farm labor prob lem. "Food Is Just as much a weapon in this war as guns. I hope that we come to this real ization in time to prevent still another instance of too little and too late.'" given at Prospect September 25. These demonstrations have been held by six of the Exten tion Units in connection with their September rally meetings. Home Dry cleaning is one of the practical method of meet ing the problem that now faces the housewife when she finds dry cleaners unable to provide the usual delivery services. Home dry cleaning is safe as well as practical if common sense is used in obeying safety rules. Home Economics Bulle tin 1608, "Dry Cleaning at Home" gives the directions for successful use of this home process. In this bulletin Miss Lucy Lane, clothing specialist, gives information on cleaning of kid gloves, furs, leather coats and ties as well as ordinary silk, wool and rayon garments. Most homes have occasion to need handy, simple information on spot removal, you will find this bulletin practical to post for future reference. Most women find that the pressing of a garment is more difficult than the cleaning pro cess. One of our biggest diffi culties is the lack of simple, easy to make pressing equip ment that will lighten the task; Extension Bulletin 833, "Press ing" will give you some help ful Information. Everyone who has seen this demonstration was particularly impressed with the simple de vice used In pressing ties so the seam does not show on the right side. By cutting two pieces of cardboard the shape of the tie and inserting from each end so they meet in the middle, the tie can be pressed from the wrong side and retain its original beauty. For other helpful suggestions, write to the home demonstra tion agent in Medford for these two bulletins HE 1608 and Ex tension Bulletin 933. By MARIAN J. FARRELL, , Home Demonstration Agent.
