PREPARATION FOR IS BIGSTATE JOB Postwar Commission Secur- ing, Filing Information On Available Employment By Erie W. Allen. Jr. United Press Staff Correspondent Salem, Ore. (U.R) One of the big jobs of the Oregon state postwar readjustments and de velopment commission is secur ing and filing information which can be used by industry and the government in the transition period after the war. In its monthly report, issued recently, the commission re ports a total of $348,047,200 in public works capacity has re ported to the commission its intention of using many of the workers now engaged in war industry and returned service men. Exodus Worries So many war workers are leaving Oregon at present, it has become a matter of some concern to employers. For sev eral months the exodus have av eraged around 3,000 per month, a much larger figure than that of current in-migrants. Many Oregon employers, not ably shipyards and other indus tries in the Portland and Van couver areas, have started labor recruiting drives in an attempt to maintain sufficient crews to meet construction deadlines. One of the state's big "post war" problems is already a problem, is growing and will continue to grow. That is the returning servicemen and wom en," of whom more than' 12,000 naa returned to Oregon up to the first part of this year. About 4,000 more are pynertpH harW by the end of 1944, and there- aner win be returning at an incerasing rate. Jobs Open Now Many of these men and wom en have been able so far tn find jobs for themselves. At present the demand, for them exceeds the number returning. But when the majority of the 115,000 of these in service come back much at the same time, it will create a different problem. Both se lective service and the United States emnlnvment sprvlrn are engaged in planning methods of handling this sudden influx. With nassaee of the "G. I. bill of rights," now before congress, many ot the veterans will be able to continue with their edu cation and manv nthprc will np enabled to set up in business tor themselves. Various Oregon residents have applied to the U. S. alien prop erty custodian for use of 66 foreign-held patents in their businesses and industries.

Plant Fall, Winter Vegetables Soon Fall and winter vegetables planted now will keep you sup plied with fresh vegetables all wintetf. Swiss, chard and carrots can be seeded, but plants should be set of cabbage, celery and sprouting broccoli. These should all be planted sometime during this month if they are to attain good maturity before winter sets in. A 50-foot row of Chantenay carrots, a 25-foot row of swiss chard and two dozen each Dan ish ball head cabbage, Utah green celery and calabrese broc coli is sufficient for an average family. This cool, overcast weather is excellent for setting out plants or for seeding. The cabbage and broccoli plants should be set quite deep, cover the lowen leaves but be sure the end bua is not covered. Plants are assisted In reestab lishing their roots if they are watered when planted. To each gallon of water, add one table spoon of ammonium sulfate or two tablespoon of complete fertilizer. C. B.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office O. S. C. Extension Service Farm Machinery Supply Limited Might as well look facts in the ace production of large combines and labor-saving hay ing equipment was running be hind schedule at last report. There is no trooect of getting all the scheduled production out in time for the 1944 harvests. That is true in spite of the fact that during the week ending May 27, the production of farm type wheel tractors reached the highest rate yet attained nearly 6,100 units for the week. That means existing machinery will have to carry the load. To make sure that all crawler tractors are used to the fullest extent, the WPB is making a vigorous campaign to get any idle crawlers rolling. They esti mate that 4,000 idle crawler tractors can be located with suf ficient search. When they are found, WPB expects to get them into action through purchase, rental, sub contract or, if necessary, out-1 right lequisHion. Twenty-four1 machinery specialists will go through the country to find the tractors, and to try to arrange for getting them sold or rented to essential users. But if every thing else fails, they will requi sition. Slauqhter. Rules All Removed Hogs have been free of slaughter-permit regulations since last fall. Now, all meat animals Join hogs and the lid is off, as far as slaughter quotas are concerned. Any farmer may slaughter and sell to any consumer just as much meat as he likes. There are no quota restrictions to be watched for the present. Of course, the fact that slaughter permits are no longer needed doesn't mean that rules about red points can be ignored. How ever, points are only needed right now for beef steaks and roasts, those rules are not much trouble to keep up with. , As far as killing the fatted calf for a buyer in town is con corned, that's a transaction In veal and can be carried through PARTS and SERVICE for all Makes of WASHERS and REFRIGERATORS YOUNGER'S APPLIANCE SERVICE CO. 31 N.
