MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1942 PAGE THREE isuoie Average 15 Per Cent In crease Next Season Is Urged By USDA Chairman Portland, Ore., Dee. 7. (U.R) Oregon farmers must better their 1942 production record by an average of 19 per cent next season as their contribution to the food for victory campaign, R. B. Taylor, Adams, Ore., Ore gon USDA War board chairman, said today. He outlined the state crop pro gram as presented by Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wick ard at the recent regional meet ing of war boards and farm leaders in Denver. Milk Boost Urged The 1943 crop quota from Oregon calls for increased pro duction of livestock and poultry and at least a billion and a half pounds of milk, Taylor said, de spite the shortage of farm labor and the scarcity of feed. Other crop goals included: Fifteen per cent increase in hogs, or pig crops from 43,000 They're Yankee Doodle SWEETHEARTS IONG BEFORE this, we hope, ' you've discovered that in many a Standard Station women are at work. You've realized. Do doubt, that they're replacing Den who have marched away to war. But it's just possible . mat you haven't heard that the . men they're replacing are often times their own menfolk. - Many are the wife or daugh ter occasionally one is the mother of a service man. And h's no accident. It's a Standard ef California policy. When our station men commenced chang ing our uniform for Uncle . Sam's, it was decided ttrvici women should have priorities on the jobs they left behind them. Naturally, first call goes to the womenfolk of our own boys. But the rule is simply that any woman who has given man to the service rates prefer ence. It's a good rule, we think. Who has a better right? Who has a greater stake in the coon try? Who realizes more clearly the need to "carry on"? The public has accepted mis war-time readjustment with un derstanding. There have been tome rough spots, we know. But just you watch. Our "girls" are turning out to be dandies and Yankee Doodle dandies, to boot. Your courtesy is mak ing things easier for them and for us. May we put our appre ciation in two words: Thank yon.
