JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service Report! Due on Practices Under AAA Program Farmers in Oregon who have completed their performance of production practices for which payment is made under the AAA program are asked by the state and county AAA officials to make their reports Just as promptly as possible. With more than 80 per cent of Oregon farm ers signed up under the AAA this year, the task of checking is a big one at best, therefore the need for early reporting to avoid last minute rush that couldn't be handled. Are You Embarrassed By HOT FLASHES? If you, like so many women, between the ages of 38 and 62 suffer from hot flashes, nervous tension Irri tability, are a bit blue at times all due to the functional middle age period peculiar to women try Lydla E. Fmkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve such symptoms. For almost a century thousands upon thousands of women rich and poor alike have reported remark able benefits. Many wise women take Plnkham's Compound regularly to help build up resistance against such annoying distress. Lydla Pinkham's Compound helps nature. It also has what Doctors c&U a stomachic tonic effect. Follow label directions. Worth trying! LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S WS& This year the honor system of reporting is being used again, which means that the farmer brings in his own data rather than having a supervisor visit the farm to measure acreages and check compliance. This method has saved a lot of man power and transportation costs. County committees will make only a few spot checks, especial ly in connection with practices that require prior approval such as weed control, land clearing, and pasture improvement. The following is the informa tion and evidence a farmer will need to report to the county AAA office: 1. The acreage of all crops grown in 1944, whether eligible for payment or not. 2. A list of the amount and kind of soil building practices performed. 3. Receipts for any lime, phasphate. land plaster, sulphur, or borax applied during the program year. 4. Receipts for seed used in re seeding pastures, showing kinds and amounts. 5 Receipts for any chemicals used In weed control. 6. Figures on acreage and pro duction of wheat grown. If all of this information is available it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete the report. R. G. Fowler.

As decaying leaves are rich in plant food, they are excellent for use on garden soils or as a mulch to be placed over bulb plantings or around peren nial flowers and shrubs. The simplest method of hand ling leaves is to apply them directly to the soil. If it is a cul tivated area, they should be worked lightly into the soil to assist in decal and prevent blow ing. If they are to be used as a mulch, they can Just be scattered around the plants and thorough ly wet to prevent blowing. The addition of a pound of am monium sulfate to a 20 x 20-foot square will assist in decay and will also promote more plant growth next spring. Another way of handling the leaves is to turn them into com post. The compost pile is made by covering a small area with a layer of leaves one foot deep. Over this layer sprinkle one fourth pound each of ammonium sulfate, superphosphate and lime, wet thoroughly and add one or two inches of manure or dirt. Repeat with additional lay ers. After a period of two months the compost should be turned over. This assists rapid rotting, but is not absolutely es sential. For further details a bulletin on composts may be obtained from this office on request. C. B. Cordy. Assistant county agent. Corporal Major Made Sergeant Amid Confusion Fort Lewis, Wash., Oct. 26 (U.R) A major has been promot ed to sergeant and now Fort Lewis has a Sergeant Major who isn a sergeant major. It all began when the Fort Lewis public relations office an nounced the promotion of Cpl. Robert J. Major, Sioux City, la., to the rank of sergeant. Now the score reads: Sgt. Ma jor is a sergeant, not a sergeant major; M-Sgt. Dale Burgess is a sergeant major, but he isn't ser geant major; and general confu sion is terrific.
