Orders have been placed for delivery and some will be delivered this fall. Results from the use of super phosfate in this county have been very striking, especially on Ladino seed crops and on other legumes for hay. Dairy Feed Subsidies Dairy feed subsidy is payable now for the months of July and August combined at the rate of 45 cents per hundred for whole milk delivered and six cents per pound of butterfat delivered to creameries. AAA Closing Date The 1944 AAA program will be extended to December 31, instead of September 1, as has been the case the last two years. This means that many soil biuld ing practices which were not completed by September 1 can now be finished. Oregon Crop Outlook The Oregon crop outlook for the fall months has been received and a supply is available in this office. The leaflet gives present facts and prospective outlook for fall sown crops, dairy, poultry and livestock products. It also contains a section devoted to farm prices, costs and demand situation and outlook. R. G. Fowler, County Agent of the summer. Paradichlorobenten Local feed and seed stores now have a supply of paradichloro benzene on hand. As the present warm weather is ideal for get ting results with these crystals, they should be applied at once if possible. On young trees un der three years it is desirable to tear down the mounds over the crystals about three weeks after treating. Lawns The shorter days and longer nights of fall are favorable for increased lawn growth. This in creased growth should be en couraged as much as possible in order to have an attractive lawn all winter. The food stored in1 the grass roots now will help keep the lawn green during cold cloudy weather. An application of ammonium sulfate or com plete commercial fertilizer fol lowed by a thorough watering is an excellent lawn tonic. Two pounds of ammonium sulfate or five pounds of complete fertil izer is enough for a 20 x 20 foot lawn, C. B.

FRANCETNSISTS SHE HAVE PLACE Cabbage Worms If you have noticed a lot of holes being eaten in the cabbage leaves, the imported cabbage worm is probably to blame. A good dusting with a rotenone dust will give excellent control and will not leave a poisonous residue. If the plants are Just starting to head so there Is no danger of poisonous residues, a lead arsenate dust will also give good control. IIP The customer had been there only once before. He had left his car to be serviced. Now he was back to have his car lu bricated a second time. When the job was completed, he banded an envelope to the serv ice station salesman and, with a grin said, "Read that some time." Then he was gone. Inside the envelope was a letter to the president of the company com plimenting the salesman for the excellent work done on his car. In it he wrote, "This was the finest grease job I ever had done on my car, and every time I put my hands on the wheel I feel like saying thank you." Happily, it has not been unusual for one of our lads to get a pac on the back for work well done. But we other Stand ard Oilers arc pleased that such letters still flow in from the public constantly even in then uar times. For the station sales men are our "front men." Drill ers and refiners and stenograph ers may work just as hard at their jobs. But it's these lads in the stations who meet the pub lic. Hence, it's nice to know the public approves them despite their wartime handicaps. It's a condition, not a theory, that motorists must get along on little so that the military serv ices may have much. And our "front men" serve the very peo ple v ho must accept these short ages. Nevertnelets, the letters show appreciation and under standing. Best of all, they ap praise at high worth those ex-. tra efforts our salesmen make to stretch existing supplies into extra civilian miles. To the rest of us, that' inspiring a sort of "F." flag from the public. Care of Home Canned Foods The job of home canning is not completed when the food is safely sealed in jars. There arc always questions which arise per-1 taming to the proper care ana storage of home canned foods. Some questions and answers re garding this stage of food preser vation follow: Q. How can jars be tested for leaks? A. Cool all jars right side up and then test for leaks. Test seals the day after canning, after re moving the screwbands that hold on the metal or glass disks during canning. A well-sealed metal disk is slightly drawn in ward at the center. You can also test it by tapping with a spoon a ringing sound shows a good seal; a dull sound, an imperfest seal. A further test for glass as well as metal disks, is to lift the jar by the disk using finger tips, to see whether it has sealed firm ly. To test types with rubber rings tilt and turn the jars up side down for several minute after it is cool to see if any drops ooze out. Q. How long will home can ned food keep several years? A. In normal times of food plenty, home economists advise eating up canned foods within the year. But longer storage is not unsafe If foods are properly canned, sealed airtight and kept in a cool, dark storage place. Foods kept for a long time lose some food value and flavor. Q. When ooening seme jars of home canned food, the metal lids were discolored. Does this effect the food, which seems quite all right? A. This discoloration of the metal is not unusual.- It is not harmful and does not appre ciably affect the food. Q. Sometimes in moving canned foods by automobile, some jars spoil. Does the car motion cause this? A. Main problems in moving canned foods, aside from proper packing, are jolting and possibly heat. Jolting may loosen Jar tops, so that spoilage bacteria can enter. Too-warm storage may give bacteria -that cause flat-sour spoilage a chance to sour the food, if any of these germs are in the jars. Jars moved inside a car are likely to be less Jolted and cooler than those moved in a trunk compart ment. Virginia M. Wait. Emergency Assistant H.D.A.! Boy Scout News Troop 8 By Roy Pylo, Asst.
