Mitch ell,, executive secretary of the state salvage committee who was a Klamath Falls visitor Wednesday, conferring with Robert McCambrldgc, county salvage committee chairman. "This, I fear, is going to be a long war," continued Mitchell, talking to the Herald-News. "1 hope X am wrong about that prediction but in this connec tion, short or long, the war pro duction factories need scrap and need it badly. Also old rub ber and kitchen fats must be collected as rapidly as possible. "Klamath county has done a wonderful job already In 'this great salvage program but we must not rest on our laurels. America thi first six months of this year, or since Dec. 7 last year, has collected some 16,000,000 tons of scrap metals but more than 80,000,000 tons of iron and steel is needed this year to build the necessary number of planes, jeeps, tanks, shins, bombers and to make am munition, without which this war cannot be won. However, we are going to win; there is no mistake about that. "Millions of the best of our youth have gone and are going into a fray, the most brutal, most barbarian in the history ,of the world and it is up to the people of Klamath and all our other counties to give our young warriors the where-with- all with whlcn. to win wis iigni for freedom, for liberty and peace once more. "We cannot sit idly by and say we are too busy with our own', affairs' to be bothered about getting this scrap in to the various scrap depots. If we continue to be complacent and smug unto ourselves and con tinue to say 'it can't happen here' that will- be just the time that it will happen here. "The Japs already are at our doors in the Aleutians, alto gether too near to be comforta ble and the sooner we realize the critical situation in which we have been thrown, the bet ter for these United States. We must awaken from our long Rip Vanwinkle sleep of 20 years and do something and that something is to get together all the scrap we can, so sorely needed by Uncle Sam for guns, and flying fortresses with which to bomb Tokio and Ber lin for that is Just what we have to do to win this war." Mitchell paid high i compli ment to the Klamath salvage committee and its work and urged no laxity In the program for the duration. He returned to Salem last night. - State Dairy Product Manufacture Reaches All Time High in '41 SALEM, Aug. 6 (IP) Manu facture of dairy products in 1941 reached an all-time high, the State Department of Agriculture said today. There were 32,231,000 pounds of creamery butter produced, a gain of 101,000 pounds over the previous record set in 1940. American cheese production of 26,159,000 pounds was up 5,000, 000 pounds from 1940. The state also produced 15, 595,000 cases of condensed milk, 27,478,000 cases of evaporated milk, 3,990,000 pounds of dried milk, and 3,353,000 gallons of ice cream. . Grain Harvest Satisfactorily, PORTLAND, Aug. 6 (AP The harvest of grain made sat isfactory progress in Oregon in the week ending Tuesday, E. L. Wells, federal meteorolo gist reported today in his week ly summary of weather and crop conditions. Haying was delayed some what by dampveather in coast al areas, but moved along well elsewhere. Clover and seed grass harvests made a good ad vance. The pulling of flax continu ed and hops picking of which will start this week in south ern Oregon showed some local Improvement. Early apples and peaches are being picked and prunes are coloring in some of the early areas.

The rest of the garden seems to be doing all right, tool Local Grain Bins Soon Ready for Farmers Here Klamath county grain farmers will be able to buy grain bins in the near future, according to B. H. Critchfield, who has the contract for manufacturing of thousands of these bins for the storage of grain In the United States. These bins are of 3000 bushel capacity, and arc of special construction requiring very little metal or nails. The bins are easily set up, and Mr. Critchefield states that when delivery is made, he. will ar range for demonstrations in var TI APPOINTED! AGRICULTURE UNITS CORVALL1S.

HIS SLIGHT DROP WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (P The agricultural department re ported today that the 1042 lamb crop totaled about 32.60,000 head, or about 2 per cent be low the last year's record crop. The reduction from last year was due, the department said, to a smaller crop in tho western sheep states, where weather conditions were said to have been unfavorable at lambing time. The crop in the so-called native or eastern states was larger. The crop In the western sheep states was estimated at 20,803, 000 head, compared with 21, 664,000 In 1941. The crop in the native lamb states was estimat ed at 11,457,000 head compared with 11,190,000 lust year. The department said the num ber of breeding ewes on Janu ary 1 totaled 37,342,000 head, compared with 36,704,000 a year earlier. The lamb crop by major pro ducing states last year and this, respectively, included. Montana 2,423,000 and 2, 299,000; Idaho 1,623,000 and 1,546,000; Wyoming 2,373, 000 and 2,248,000; Colorado 1,348,0000 and 1,266,000; New Mexico 1,235,000 and 1,223, 000; Arizona 456,000 and 467,000; Utah 1.613.000 and 1,531,000; Nevada 515.000 and 503,000; Washington 521,. 000 and 491,000; Oregon 1, 294,000 and 1,093,000; Califor nia 2,163,000 and 2,178.000; and Texas 4,729,000 and 4, 445,000. Oregon Cover Crop Seed Good for 12 Million Bombs CORVALL1S, Aug. 6 (AF Twenty-five pounds, of Oregon cover crop seed equals 150 pounds of nitrates which equals nitrogen for three 1001b. bombs. This wartime equation is be ing pondered as Oregon farm ers harvest an estimated 200 million pound crop of winter legume seed which will go to southern states to be planted on cotton and other crop land. The cover crops grown from the seed will be plowed under next spring, making unneces sary the use of scarce commer cial fertilizers. Statisticians figure that tills year's Oregon crop will release enough nitrates to manufacture 12 million 100-pound bombs. strong and courageous.

Weed Control Hits Midsummer Pace in Klamath Farm Area The control of weeds is in mid season in the Klnmnth Basin at the present time. Many serious weeds aro now making seed, and land owners should carefully ex amine their property to see If they have any of the seven or eight extremely serious weeds found here. These aro white top, Russian knnpwcvj, Cana dian thistle, leafy spurge, morn ing glory, and blue lettuce In particular. None of these should be allowed to seed. Many people have been prac tlclnu summer fallow sinro imrlv spring, with good results.

In mail of these cases an ex cellent stand of ryo and pens was secured, and a good hay crop of four tons per acre was taken off this year, Immediately following the har vesting of this crop in early July, summer fallow was again under taken. It Is particularly inter esting to note that the heavy seeding prevented any serious development of white top and that the plants that did grow In the presence of the crop were rather puny and weak and gen erally did not mako seed.

In some areas of non-crop land ami along right of ways, the mut ter of u heavy application of light oil such as wiping oil seems to be ouo of the best methods to prevent spread, although It does not always eradicate the weeds even after several years application.
