plied in Jackson county In the
12 months period ending May
1, 1944. 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.

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,

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

ITS A SPIRIT that rises to accept each new
challenge with dignity. '
It's a spirit born of vision. Of a love of free
dom so great it transcends human hopes and
fears. And makes any sacrifice worth while.
It's the spirit that tackles all kinds of Army
jobs. Humbly. But with a joyous pride.
A spirit that has its eyes on Tomorrow
a spirit that has won the eternal respect of the
Army of the United States.
This is why General Eisenhower has said :
