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. These
patents include many concerned
with agricultural processes, one
of which is for the commercial
use of pea vines.
Others include one which
projects a new use of the lava
flow masses in central Oregon:
another is for the manufacture
of chinaware from Malalla, Ho
bart Butte and other local clays;
another is for the refrigeration
of ships, and others cover the
use of fish and artificial gas
byproducts, electric heating,
temperature control and many
other uses, including plastics
development.

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.

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.
