The invaders were attacking

Stalingrad, but the Russians
declared they were holding fast,
A single red army unit was

Heads for Record
Agricultural Year
(Continued from Page One)
have no way of ascertaining pre
cisely the seore come December
31, we wish to impress upon you.
But they held a supcr-rcgist ra
tion early this year in which all
agricultural: were asked to in
dicate approximately how much
more in the way of butter, oats,
chickens, bacon, spuds, spinach
and like items they expected to
harvest, market and exact pro
ceeds therefrom during the nrst
war year. ,
The answers pointed directly
at 15 per cent or htird by same.
Since then, Willi spuds hnlf-
grown, pigs half-raisea and cows
half-milked, it appears the
gentlemen were, if anything, a
mite too modest. Kor Hit to
per cent averaged goal will al
most certainly be reached and
probably surpassed.
Look at tht Record
Let's take a look at the record.
In the dairy products depart
ment we find that Malin's cheese
factory has spiraled production
to a level exceeding that of any
previous record and we've a
brand new cheese factory right
here in town racing through its
first year in exceptional fashion.
Cheese, if you don't already
know, is badly needed by our
allies in feeding both civilian
population and service person
nel. It's packed with nutrition,
they say, and a boatload goes a
long way. The price has peon
pegged at better than 50 cents
per pound which assures local
curdlers of a profit loosely de
fined as close to dandy.
In the milk and cream division,
Klamath county is taking care
of all its own needs in addition
to contributing largely to the
support of more than 15,000 Jap
anese at Camp Newell, Calif.
Of Newell's daily needs, only
250 gallons are supplied from
Yreka. The balance, and it's
quite a sum, comes strictly from
hereabouts.
Eggs Exported
The county's poultry goal was
one 60 per cent over last year's.
Our Mr. Henderson did not dis
close in calculable figures just
how close we were but he did
reveal that for the first time in
history, eggs are being exported
from the county in sizeable quan
tities.
"There must be a heavy in
crease," he ventured.
The livestock increase has
been equally monumental. Beef,
quoth Mr. Henderson, is shoot
ing at a 22 per cent boost in
slaughter. "And I believe they
have done it," he further quoth.
Pigs have been cooperating,
too, but they're just a little shy
of a 60 per cent increase goal.
Somewhere between 40 and 50
per cent is the figure. Which,
you'll concede, is still and all a
pretty terrific uppage.
Definitely surpassing are the
oerformances of vegetables.
Commercially, cabbages, turnips,
rutabaga, garlic, onions, et al.,
have been growing at a rate up
wards of 54 per cent speedier
than they did last year.
Victory Gardens Double
Victory gardeners have more
than exactly doubled, perhaps in
number, and certainly in pro
duction. In the vegetable kingdom,
Klamath county is the site of an
unparalleled surge of patriotic
production. It's in Austrian peas
which are not eaten but plowed
under.
This shade of the planned
scarcity era is a production aid
this time, however, and not a
device in keeping with the
slaughter of little pigs. They're
a soil builder and part of a
planned war program to put nit
rogen back into the ground, thus
releasing high nitrogen-content
fertilizers for use in the manu
facture of explosives.
They're used right here and
lots of 'em sent to other sections
for soil building. Besides that,
Austrian peas are a fair stock
feed.
But the astonishing feature of
the whole program is that Klam
ath county has planted 6000
acres. This is merely an increase
of 1200 per cent over the 500
acres of 1941.
Grains? They're un. says
Mr. Henderson without saying
more. Barley and oats in par
ticular. Potatoes
As for potatoes, the acreace
hasn't been increased but the
prospects are good for an excel
lent crop. Mostly on account of
the weather. The future is pos
itively dazzling for an excellent

Gandhi Wins Authorization
For Disobedience Campaign
NEW DELHI, Aug. 8 AP
The government of India to
night declined to negotiate witli
the all-India congress party on
the basis of the party's Bombay
rmmlutjon calling tor immedi
ate independence under threat
of a civil disobedience cam
paign. By PHESTON GROVER
BOMBAY, Indiu, Aug. 8 (AP)
Almost solidly backed by the
all-India congress party, wiz
ened little Mohandas K. Gand
hi won authnrmtii,t today to
lead a war-time civil disobedi
ence campaign for national in
dependence. With only 13 dissidents, the
convention of S60 committee
men voted to adopt Gandhi's
"Britain must quit India" res
olution after the passive gen
eralissimo had appealed to
America to act "while there is
yet time" and align the Indian
people on the Allied side of the
war.
Gandhi himself concluded the,
session with a two-hour address,
ending:
"1 am pledged to the congress
and the congress is pledged to
do or die."
price. Mostly on account of the
war.
We've got something else and
it'll probably surprise you. The
small seed business, mainly
grass. It's a wartime necessity,
grass, and it's used for camou
flaging gun emplacements, air
ports, and men. Plus landing
fields. Army gentlemen are
finding grass fields are consid
erably slicker and quicker, in
many cases, than concrete.
They're easier on landing planes
and quicker to construct and
rebuild after a bomb shower.
Most of the European seed
acreage is temporarily in escrow
and what's left has been for the
most part blasted to eternity
durated eternity, anyway. Which
leaves Klamath county with a
tremendous business and this'll
no doubt amaze you more acre
age devoted to seed than to po
tatoes. Offshoots
That, friends, is the broken-
up picture of Klamath county
wartime agriculture. But there
are some offshoots we'd like to
mention.
The first covers the very pos
sible possibility that Klamath
Falls, proper, will be the site
of a potato de-hydration plant
employing 140 persons who will
earn some $10,000 per month.
The thing is being dickered out
right now and we should know
something definite in a week,
say.
Another development was sort
of thrust upon us but is there
nevertheless. We mean the
War Relocation authority pro
ject at Camp Newell. Mr.
Henderson confided that 1700
acres of vegetables and 600 of
other produce is under cultiva
tion with many more in the next
year offing.
Malin's huge wartime feeding
operation is a third side issue
directly related to what we've
been talking about. They're
feeding cattle to condition them
for war markets.

All amendnn-iits to the Gan
dhi resolution were rejected,
iiK-ludimj one declaring a mass
civil disobedience campaign
now was untimely and imprac
ticable. - Another' amendment which
declared such a struggle would
help Japan also was rejected.
Gandhi, addressing the con
vention after the adoption of
the resolution, said "we shall
make every effort to soil the
viceroy before starting the
movement."
Car.il!.; iiuuiu his appeal in a
letter "to American friends"
before the nil-India congress
convened for a session which
may give the Indian leader the
"go ahead sign" to launch a
campaign of civil disobedience
designed to end British domin
ion over India.
The letter, which will be
published in Gandhi's news
paper tomorrow, was delivered
exclusively to American corres
pondents today. Although Gan
dhi had said earlier that he
would give Britain time to
make further proposals before
launching the campaign, little
hope of such intercession was
held after yesterday's meeting,
needs some manning and more
than just several pieces of new
equipment. Which is where we
can find the only rub in the en
tire business.
Labor Shortage
Labor shortage is the most
serious. Migration to industrial
jobs and the armed services have
pushed farmers back close to tlx)
goal line. But, says Mr. Hend
erson ago,in, the problem is be
ing met by the old neighbor
policy of doubling up helping
the other guy after which he
helps you by entire families
joining in, and by the aid of
city fellers who use their' week
ends raising blisters and pitch
ing hay at the same time.
Mr. Henderson says that with
all that, we're sticking pretty
close to schedule.
Harvest time will add to the
burden and it may be necessary
to close schools tough, isn't it
kids? boost wages and gener
ally scramble for whomever is
still around.
The truck problem is not yet
really serious put by next year,
we discover, it will approach
the critical. Ditto with other
equipment. But that's next year
and there's a winter in between.
So there, ladies and gentlemen,
you've a mid-summer idea of
what goes on in the country
your country.
The outlook is certainly not
stygian.
If an army marches on Its
stomach, as is the common sup
position, ours is halfway there
already.
