T TO ROGUE VALLEY AS PLACETO LIVE Chamberof Commerce Notes Increase in Inquiries from All Parts of Country. An Increasing Interest in the Rogue River valley is being shown by people from all sec tions of the country and is re flected in a growing number of inquiries received at the Jack son County Chamber of Com merce office in Medford. Re quests for information are now averaging between 150 and 200 a month, according to Frank Hull, manager, and are Increas ing steadily. It is obvious from the type of letter beinrf received that the Inquiries for the most part come from citizens Of a substantial type, Mr. Hull states, and that the prospective residents are persons who will be an asset to the community when they ar rive. The Chamber staff has ob served that thousands of dollars' worth of property- has already been sold in recent months to people whose first information about the district was gained from the Chamber of Commerce. The inquiries, originating in practically every state of the union, seek information about the climate, the cultural ad vantages of the district, the schools, religious institutions and about business conditions. The later type of question is in the minority, Mr. Hull states, the people for the most part ap parently being more interested in the type of living conditions than in ways to make money. The letters come from business officials of nationally known and women and from many per sons seeking a place to retire. Mrs. Glen Jackson, on the staff of the Chamber of Com merce for the past year, handles all these requests and makes every effort to give complete in formation, the manager states.

Extension Service October 30 Deadline On Dairy Subsidy Payments All dairymen who have not applied for milk and cream sub sidy for sales during July and August, should apply for the same prior to October 30, which is the dead-line for payment of July and August sales. With added effort needed to ifieet the winter rates for dairy production payments should as sist county farmers in doing their part to narrow the gap be tween production and demand. The winter rates for dairy pro duction payments which became effective September 1 are 70c per hundred weiRht for milk and 10c per pound for butterfat. The importance of increasing or maintaining milk production at the highest possible level is well illustrated for farmers by the recent necessity to raise the ration value of creamery butter to 20 points. This action was necessary due to the small sup ply available and the expected seasonal decline in production which indicates October civilian supplies of butter will be 10. 000,000 pounds less than in Sep tember. More than 1,750.000 milk pro ducers the largest number of any payment period since the dairy production program was initiated received a total of $64,153,228 in dairy production payments on sales of 13.388,500 pounds of mllv and 16fi.308.340 pounds of butterfat during May and June. These payments are made to ofset increase in dairy production costs in order to maintain milk production at the high level necessary to meet re quirements. Since "the program became effective October 1. 1943, producers had received a total of S222.B62.000 on produc tion through June. Oregon farmers had shared S2.931.534.40 of this national total. For the May-June poriod, dairy farmers in the slate re ceived $847,563.57 in dairy pro duction payments. j Turkey Set-aside Revised to Aid Army The war food administration amended the turkey set-aside or der that is intended to assist the U.

County Agent. iENDERSON SEES TROUBLE UNLESS PLANS SPEEDED Chicago, Oct. 12 U.R) Leon Henderson, former head of OPA and now chairman of the Board of the Research Institute of America, said today that "if the pace of preparing for peace is not increased (in the United States) we will have an unman ageable amount of unemploy ment within a month after the end of the European war." Henderson told the 14th bien nial congress of the cooperate league that the U. S. must move drastically in revision of our tax system and in planning for emergency public work. "The biggest source of na tional income (in the postwar period) sufficient to maintain a high level of employment will be in foreign trade," Henderson said, "but added that he was "pessimistic about formation of an economic foreign policy."

Main Street Stat Llcente P 137 DEWEY CHARGES E Salt Lake City, Oct. 12 (U.R) Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes has answered Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's charge that the Roosevelt administration had neglected the west by declaring that the western state's average crop value per acre under the bureau of reclamation's irriga tion program "has increased from $30.10 under a Republican administration to $95.84 today." Speaking before a Democratic rally last night Ickes said that power installations on bureau of reclamation projects are now more than 18 times the total capacity installed in 1933. "Since 1933 we have 'neglect ed' the west so much that the value of farm products from an acreage irrigated by the bureau of reclamation has increased 360 per cent," he said. The present administration, under the Taylor grazing act, has made the livestock industry a business instead of a gamble by making 142,000,000 acres of controlled federal range avail able to livestock owners, Ickes asserted.
