Situation la Two Wan Compared An interesting comparison be tween the wheat situation in World Wars I and II is contained in a recent summary issued by the U. S. Department o Agri culture. Carry-over of wheat on July I, 1018, was only 22 million bushels, probably a low point in domestic wheat carry - over Early that year the British food comptroller warned America that unless this country was able to send the allies at least 73 million bushels of wheat that year, he could not assure the British people that there would be food enough to win the war. In contrast on July 1, 1943, the carry-over was 618 million bushels, with an additional esti mated crop coming on of about 835 million bushels. 1944 Production Goals Entirely Voluntary war Food Administrator Mar vin Jones has announced that the 1944 production program will be purely voluntary in every way. There will be no penalties or bonuses in connec tion with meeting goals. There will be no acreage allotments quotas or any other restrictions on wheat plantings. The Wtu Food Administration will under take to supply information as to needed crops. Goals will be es tablished to put this Information in a form that farmers can use as a guide in planning 1944 pro duction. These goals will prob ably call for all we can produce of just about every crop grown in the state. Therefore, we will come closest to meeting the goals if every acre is put to its most productive use planted to the crop for which it's best suit ed and of which it will produce the most.' The national wheat goal calls for 68 million acres of wheat in 1944, and Oregon has been asked to grow 950,000 acres This is not as much wheat as we have grown in the past, but considerably more than the acre age for recent years. Following are a few things each farmei might consider in deciding how much wheat to plant. First, there will be a con tinued need for peak production of other crops. We should not expand wheat plantings at the expense of other essential crops such as dry peas, dry beans, po tatoes, flax, and canning crops Farmers who have the soil, equipment and other facilities for producing these crops should continue to grow them. Second, we will need in creased production of feed grains for our record numbers of livestock and poultry.

OREGON fact, the feed grain situation is one of the principal reasons for the higher wheat goal. It follows, therefore, that on farms where barley or oats will pro duce more to the acre, it would be most unwise to reduce acre age of these other cereals to plant more wheat. Third, a considerable acreage of land formerly planted to wheat has been seeded to grass. Some of this grass, especially that on more productive land, now might be plowed up and returned to wheat. By R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Fall Care of Cane Fruits Due Soon Pruning, training and spray ing of boysenberries, youngber ries and raspberries should be done before the fall rains set in. In pruning these berries, all of the two-year-did wood should be removed. In addition, the weak growths made this year should be cut out. With young- berries and boysenberries, eight to twelve of the most vigorous canes are selected and trained onto supporting wires, being careful not to break them. If the canes in the past have been dying back, it would be well to cut them back to about eight feet. If no dieback has been -occurring, they can be left considerably longer. This prun ing should be done now so that the old diseased canes will be removed before fall . rains spread the disease to new shoots. - After pruning and training the canes should be sprayed with bordeaux mixture. Use one pound of commercial bor deaux mixture to five gallons of water and spray thoroughly. This should be done before the fall rains start. Training the berries onto the wires has generally . been left until spring because of a, fear of winter killing. It is true that thoracis less danger of winter injury when the canes are left on the ground, but we seldom get winters severe enough: to cause injury. In addition, the canes handle easier and with less danger of. breakage now than in the spring. Additional weed growth in the spring also makes the job more difficult Those who have tried fall train ing prefer to do it then and take the risk of winter injury.

Victory Model ' ; Pressure Canners One manufacturer of the new victory pressure canner has Is sued revised instructions for op erating these new - war model canners. Even though 'substitu tions in materials has been ne cessary, the homemaker will get satisfactory results if she follows the rules. (1) A full flame or high heat is necessary to obtain the proper pressure. (2) When pressure is reached the indicator weight should re volve, but this is not always the case. A steady flow of steam escaping from the indicator also indicates that pressure has been reached. (3) Put at least three quarts of water in canner, as much is lost during cooking. (4) The Indicator -weight sometimes does not revolve as it is made of material thattor rodes easily. To prevent this wash weight and vent pipe with a strong vinegar solution each time it is used. Another sugges tion is -to place the weight on the vent pipe and turn it with your hand back and forth number of times bearing- down on it. This will smooth the weight seat and allow it to re volve easily. (5) The Victory canner should not be used. for cooking. Be cause of its construction a large amount of water must be used with it, thus making it unsatis factory for roasting meat, etc. , Anyone having difficulty op- crabuiK uie new luimer may call our office for further informa tion.

Klein United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Sept. 23 4U.R The rocket-propelled "glider bomb," which Prime Minister Winston Churchill revealed as the latest German weapon against Allied shipping, also is being used against r lying ron- resses, it was learned today, Ordnance experts here have received reports concerning this unique missile and are now studying them. Doubt Radio Guide Churchill described the bomb as a glider-borne explosive which is shot from the plane by a rock et charge and guided, presum ably by radio, to its target. Some experts doubted that it is radio- controlled. It was understood that the bomb has the appearance of a duck In flight. Measuring only about a yard In length and bear ing gull-like wings, the bomb Is launched from a plane by a rock et charge. Observers have reported the glider bomb has a speed in ex-1 cess of 500 miles an hour. Usu ally, it is launched when the attacking plane Is about a mile from the target. Because it is evidently heav ily charged with explosives and because of its small size, some observers doubted that there is sufficient space In the missile for radio-activated devices to guide the bomb to its target. They believed that the bomb is aimed at the target by the plane, and that such elements as relative speeds and angle of glide enter into aiming calculations. The manner in which it ap proaches the target also has led them to believe that there is no radio-control. ' Some - American pilots have reported employment by the Germans of a strange. missile, presumably a rocket-like affair, against their planes. Sources here said it is the same as the bomb Churchill reported was be ing employed against surface craft. Reds Also Use Them The Russians also have been reported using rocket-type aerial bombs, but the German glider bomb is believed to be the first of its kind. Because of the speed and manner In which they are launched, the rocket bombs both the German and Russian are said to have lateral flight qualities which the conventional gravity-drawn bomb lacks. The Russian rocket bombs are launched from rails slung under the plane. The rocket charge gives them tremendous velocity and these bombs already have been shown to be very effective against tanks. The only American rocket weapon now known to be in service Is the so-called "bazooka" gun which has proved destruc tive to tanks.
