Whu! 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. In

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.

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.

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.
