Rireriids Ph. 3148 of York county, Virginia, for nine years agricultural agent for Sussex county, Virginia. Swltchtd From Dairying "We work in close co-opera tion with the British," he told the United Press. "In doing so I have learned a good deal about their ways. Let me say for a start that they have done one helluva good lob on food pro- diction. Yes, sir, I take off my hat to them for that. "Their work has been all the more remarkable because in many cases they have had to demonstrate and actually teach some of their farmers how to plow with our tractors. The farmers here as far as I have been able to ascertain, were mainly in the dairy or poultry end of the game. Most of their land was in grass, So they have had to learn a whole lot of technical things in order to switch over to wholesale pro duction of food, as they have done, Believe me they sure have done a swell job," Asked if he found farming very different In Britain as compared with the States, Free man sum mm ne mougni me j main difference were due to climatic conditions, the nature of the soil, and the system of ownership or tenantship of the land. , "They seem to have about the same rainfall here as in the U.S.," he said. "At any rate the total annual rainfall in Britain Is comparable to that of our eastern states. But the differ ence here Is that fall is gradual. They don't get the terrific falls that we get In many parts of the states. Cultivate Hills Then there is the texture of the soil itself. Here their soil seems to absorb a good deal more moisture than our soil at home. As a result of this, they are able to practice up-and- down-mil cultivation success fully. Why If we did that in the states, almost every row would become a gully in no time. For this reason, maybe, they don't have to pay so much attention here to the soil conservation as Americans do." ' The fact that In Britain, farm ers were often tenants of a num ber of different landowners, he explained, made It more diffi cult for a tenant-farmer to farm his variously owned lands eco nomically with modern appli ances. "You see you need large fields close together to operate modern agricultural machinery economically. And because their fields here are often separated by hedges Indicating the differ ent ownership of the land, It is often Impractical or uneconomic for them to use mechanized equipment." These obviously, he explained Help Those In Service By Salvaging Household Fats ' The young lady above has. over Italy.

She is Gladys Quesseth, of Sa lem, whose brother Alfred, was killed while serving on the U. S. S. Tulsa, In the Philippines, on December 7, 1941. Another brother. Lt. Cecil H. Quesseth, who was chosen by he will have plenty more ammu nition as long as the war lasts. So far this year, Oregon has produced nearly 30 more than its monthly quota of used lots Salvage officials point out that Just one tablespoonful a day con tributed by each family in the state will equal more than 200 of Oregon s quota each month Gladvs and thousands of other Oregon people who want to be sure their loved ones on the his teammates as the most valu- j battlefronts have more than able player on the 1939 North western Conference champion ship basketball team from Wil lamette university, is now a P-38 fighter pilot with the army air corns.

"But although conditions are different here from In the states", said Freeman, "we get on fine together. I think an old Negro had the co-operation situation well summarized in this sentence: 'In order to do right you got to have a do-right mind.' Well the fact is, we all have got that 'do-right mind' here. And it is working out fine. If we use the same mind to co operate after the war, maybe we farmers will be much better off than ever before." BOYS!
