AAA PAYMENTS
TO
VITAL CROPS
"Rationing acres" for produc
tion of the most essential crops
is the description given to pro
duction adjustment features of
the 1943 farm program by John
Shepherd, Scio farmer and
member of the state AAA com
mittee. Farmers will find it
both profitable and patriotic to
adjust their plans to produce
most needed products.
Wheat, the principal "war
crop" of World war 1, is in
plentiful supply this time, Shep
herd points out. Instead, the
need is for concentrated foods,
oil crops, and fibers to replace
war-lost imports. As a means of
putting every available acre to
work for the war effort, pay
ments made to wheat growers
for reducing acreage within al
lotments will be closely connect
ed with production of essential
crops.
Individual farm goals will be
established for nine special war
crops, including dry beans, po
tatoes, dry edible peas, peas for
canning, tomatoes for process
ing, seed flax, vetch for seed,
and fiber flax. Each farm's re
sources, as shown by the farm
plan which farmers will be ask
ed to fill out during the every
farmer canvass in January, will
be taken into account in set
ting war crop goals. Wheat pay
ments for 1943 will be condi
tioned on the farm's war crop
goals being met.
Second condition to earning a
full wheat payment provides
that at least 90 per cent of the
farm's wheat acreage allotment
be planted in 1943 to either
wheat, special war crops or des
ignated substitute crops. These
substitute crops include barley
In areas where it will produce
more feed value than wheat, and
Austrian winter peas up to the
farm's allotted acreage of that
crop. More substitute crops may
be added later, Shepherd said.
, These substitute crops, in oth
er words, are more needed than
wheat, and hence may be sub
stituted for wheat, but they are
not the vitally needed war crops
for which farm goals are set
Objective of conditioning pay
ments on war crop goals and
' on 90 per cent of allotments,
Shepherd said, is to insure that
land taken out of wheat will
not stay idle and will be devot
ed to production of needed es
sential crops.

Hiring Hall Set-Up
Dick Gilman, manager of the
Columbia River district IWA
hiring hall, arrived here
Wednesday to review the hiring
hall set-up in Klamath Falls.
He is working with Tim Sulli
van and Russell Cooper, local
representatives.
- Gilman reports members are
"very enthusiastic and interest
ed" in their own union hiring
hall and that a number of op
erators are also interested. The
present arrangement, he said, is
progressing in a satisfactory
manner. Before coming here
Gilman spent four days in Bend
helping IWA union officials set
up a hall in that city. Already
orders for men are starting to
come Into both hiring halls he
said. The local hall is located
at 919 Klamath avenue.

'43 HELD HERE
Ways and means of meeting
problems of increased food pro
duction for the duration of the
war was the theme of a farm
security conference when repre
sentatives of the FSA from ten
central and southern Oregon
counties met in Klamath Falls
In the chamber of commerce
rooms December 31 and Janu
ary 1.
Earl Gardner, Klamath coun
ty FSA supervisor, reports thRt
this meeting was held to give
farm security personnel a more
concise picture of their responsi
bilities as members of the war
board in cooperation with other
department of agriculture agen
cies in mobilization o( efforts to
produce needed food for our
armed forces all over the world,
our allies and their civilian pop
ulations, and tho people of our
nation.
Four Objectives
A report of agricultural mo
bilization, as outlined by Secre
tary of Agriculture Wickard in
a recent conference at Denver,
Colorado was given by Verne
Llvcsay, state director of the
farm security administration.
The four major objectives to
be carried out in the mobiliza
tion program arc: (1) complete
use of land, (2) retention and
maintenance of dairy animals,
(3) attention to rural labor
problems, (4) efficient utilization
of machinery.
Special consideration was giv
en to new developments in re
lation to coming labor problems,
and to care and use of machine
ry in the present war period.
Likewise, agricultural goals for
Oregon for 1943, and ways of
meeting labor shortages were
considered.
Home It Factory
Efficient home management
as a substantial basis for good
health, adequate gardens, com
plete live-at -home programs,
and proper clothing was stressed
by Sara Wertz, area home man
agement supervisor.
"The home is the ' factory
which provides the necessary
elements to keep Individuals in
proper condition so that their
best efforts may be expended in

TO REGISTER COLTS
A letter has just been received
at the county agent's office from
Lt. Col. F. W. KoestiT, officer In
charge, Headquarters Western
Remount area, San Mateo, Calif.,
suggesting that horse breeders
not overlook the advantages of
registering their colts.
Lt.-Col. Koesler said: "Dur
ing the past month hundreds of
applications for registration
have poured into this office in
dicating that regardless of the
war the breeders In tho Western
Remount area are still deter
mined to give their colls tho ad
vantages o registration and
that others who have, eligible
colts should do so."
Lt.-Col. Kocster also stated
that they are making up the stal
lion slato for the next breeding
season and breeders desiring stal
lions usually delay too long In
making their requests. Any
breeders desiring a stallion
should contact them at once.
Examination of
Anti-Freeze in Cars
Recommended Here
Soma farmers and car owners
have reported to the county
agent's office some difficulty
with some of the anti-freezo pre
parations on the market this
year. Some of this material is
hard to hold In the radiator and
if It seeps into the motor causes
considerable damage, it was re
ported. Examination of all anil-freeze
in cars and trucks at this time
might save considerable diffi
culty and damage to the motor.
Whore trotiblo has occurred It
might be well to report this to
the dealer from whom the mate
rial was purchased, officials
pointed out

A spokesman for tho Ameri
can meat Institute in Chicago
declared that the army Is tak
Ing very largo quantities of
beef and that "army needs come
lust."
A cause of the civilian under
supply, some meat packers as
serted, Is that tho government
has placed a celling on prk-i-s
without a balancing culling on
livestock.
"There Is a terrific loss In
most beef and to ruinuiu In busi
ness we cun t aiford to kill any
more animals than we have to,"
one Pittsburgh packer said. "It
means wo keep army orders
filled but don't always have the
70 per cent of last year's meat
available that can go to civilian
trade.''
Slaughtering of local herds
was advanced as a chief means
of relieving the shortage In
many communities.
In Los Angeles packer
spokesman said the situation
was "groatly Improved" today.
Ho said that although delivery
facilities wore not adequate,
"consumers will be able to get
their share."
Throughout New England
many persons were having trou
ble in getting steaks with their
French fries. Stores In Boston
said they had only sufficient
fresh beef to supply early ar
riving customers.
In Mississippi, on the other
hand, Assistant State AAA Ad
