i There was a touch of winter
most of the week. It seemed cold
er than It was due to the snow
scene In Tom Flynn's display
window, and Val Truax and Seth
Bullls being at large without
their hats.

Orchardlsts have started think
ing about next summer's Irriga

unto the hills, to see If there is
any snow.
Ed Kubll, the Applegate cow
man, lost his wallet last week. It
contained the price of a rib
teak in a war boom beanery.

A Willamette valley combat
flyer got home from the South
Pacific last week, and an A card
driver on a country road proved
too much for him.

F. Luy, the Phoenix-Antelope
cowboy, put on his Levi Strauaa
pants and coats Wed. to threaten
work. He can't buy a calfskin
vest, because of the leather short
age caused by inability to peel
the hide off a steer without kill

Citizens who predicted ration

A few hereabouts should loin
the Anti-Pipe Abuse society of

Protect Oregon Fruit '
The big money crop in Jackson County today is
fruit. It not only brings in the most money, that money
stays here and is distributed here, it is money, in
other words, that contributes most to the permanent
prosperity and well-being of this community.
JUST imagine, for the sake of argument, a new and
strange pest should appear in an orchard of
Southern Oregon, and following the established pro
cedure it should be sent to Oregon State College, for
examination, research and advice.
Because of conditions now existing at the college,
and particularly in the department of horticulture,
however, there would necessarily be a long delay
before the result of the examination could be known,
the nature of the beast, and the most effective treat
ment determined.
Let it be further imagined that this new and strange
insect proved to be more virulent and of more rapid
growth than anything before known and because of
this delay, the orchards of Southern Oregon were
devastated by this insidious insect, the usual fruit
crop say cut in half.
How much money would be lost to this community
and the state? For one season it would run into seven
figures, and before the damage could be controlled
and recovered, it might well run into eight.
IN other words how much cold cash is it worth to the
people of this community and of every other fruit
district in the state, to have an adequately-manned,
properly financed, department of horticulture at Cor-vallis?
"THE answer is it is worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars every year, and might well run into the
millions, in a short period.
And yet how much money is contributed by this.
state to maintain this department at Oregon State?
The answer is $13,777,
per year given by the average resident of Oregon, to
protect an industry that produces an annual income
of over $100,000,000! '
Figure that out.
And figures don't lie, but liars sometimes figure.
So any member of the State Legislature who
claims an adequate department of horticulture can
be maintained in Oregon for this sum or anything
ike it or that it should not be tripled at once, and
at least multiplied ten times
that four-word classification.
It just ISN'T true!
And the present situation in this department at
Corvallis today proves it isn't true. For while the work
that is being done there
imaginable, and the personnel also, the depart
ment needs at least twice as many on its staff as it
nas, and needs them not
but needs them NOW, to
research, that should be done NOW.
So immediate financial
for the sake of the department, or the college, but
lor tne sake or this state and all the people in it. For
from the standpoint of bringing outside cash, into the
state, keeping it here, and FUTURE GROWTH, the
fruit industry is the most
lnauBiry jun tne state. .
BUT here is a tip,

the state get up on their hind legs and DEMAND
relief from this coming session of the Legislature and
this financial relief from this coming session of the
Legislature and particularly from the Ways and
Means committees, nothing, at least nothing ade
quate, will be done. Old General Inertia and Gen
eral Inaction will hold the
years, as they have for the
moneys for the college and other institutions of
higher learning in this state the Legislature OKEHS,
can be appropriated and used !
War Commentators ,
There are many reasons whv this German offen
sive took the American people so entirely by surprise.
une oi mem can De cnartrea
Mr. Kirke L. Simpson, known as "Associated Press
war Analyst", is a typical example. Five days after
the German offensive Mr. Simpson declared: "
. ? ,,s .now reasonably clear the German offensive has '
failed In Its main purpose, and at a costly expenditure in
men and materials. ' .
A few days later:
.. "It may well develop as General Elsenhower stressed
that this original German success may be turned into Ger
many s greatest military defeat The force of the thrust '
has apparently collapsed."
And apain, January 3rd :
"That the enemy has the means to mount a new major
offensive as front-line advices suggest seems highly doubt
ful, continued allied gains indicate a German retreat."
.
MOW that sort of thing
of line, but a constant disposition to paint a rosier
war picture uian the facts
people, who aren't
Naturally, the cumulative effect of this attitude has
been to lull the American people into a sense of false
security, and make them totally unprepared for the
grim events of the past few weeks.

Increased output of forest and

gon through better research fa
cilities was recommended today

Industries.
Any empoyer who refuses to
comply with the new WMC or
der will be referred "for action"
to the war production board.
Collins said. However, he said
he hoped this would not be ne
cessary and that employers vol
untarily would comply with the
program. . -
'We have to do something
about it;" he said, "because
many ammunition plants are op
erating behind schedule as re
sult of the manpower shortage."
Collins said "the requirements
of the country's ammunition pro
gra mare going up and there'll
be an increase in the future."
"There are plenty of plants
behind schedule because of the
lack of manpower. There are no
workers unemployed in the
country so we have to get man
power from other types of em
ployment. "War Mobilization Director
James M. Byrnes authorized the
local war manpower commission
to take action. We have to re
duce the number of non-essential
workers.
