OPA Regulation to
Cut Hay Price to
Oregon Dairymen
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11 (P)
Prospects of higher milk prices
lor Pacific coast consumers have
disappeared under government
orders affecting fluid milk prices
and the cost of hay for dairymen,
an office of price administration
regional official said today.
An OPA order placing a na
tlonwlde ceiling on fluid milk
prices paid to farmers and re
ducing the price dairymen must
pay for alfalfa hay will benefit
many heavily populated west
(in
Universal planting of victory
gardens where possible, plus
early action to provide commu
nity dehydrators and driers, is
advocated by E. H. Wiegand,
head of the food industries de
partment at Oregon State col
lege, as one way Oregon can
help meet the future civilian
food supply situation. a
After analyzing the estimated
pack of canned fruits and vege
tables as compared with the
amount to be taken by the gov
ernment for military and lend
lease use, Wiegand says that
"while there is no need for
anyone to go hungry, the new
est regulation dealing with the
commercial packs of canned
food should give us something
to think about in connection
with our food .problems."
Professor Wiegand reports
that the estimated total pack
of canned vegetables for 1943
will approximate 176,800,000
cases. Of these, 92,900,000 cases
will be required by the govern
ment. The total pack of canned
fruit is estimated at 47,500,000
cases, of which the government
Will need 31,700,000 cases.
This makes a total output
estimated at 224,300,000 cases
of which civilians will receive
only 99,700,000. Figures on
average civilian consumption be
tween 1937 and 1939 show that
America consumed in the
neighborhood of 200 million
cases annually of canned foods
of all kinds.
"In many parts of Oregon,
and particularly in the Willam-
ette and Umpq.ua valleys, there
are large numbers of dehydra
tors and much drying equip
ment well located to provide
means for drying a large quan
tity of vegetables and fruit for
the civilian consumer, provided
it is used for this purpose,"
says .Professor Wiegand. "If via
iory garaens are planted in
large numbers much of the raw
material they produce can be
conserved tor tuture use
through drying and dehydration,
either in small units or by dry
ing in community dehydrators
and driers.
"It is suggested that steps be
laxen at once where these driers
are located so that the people
can band together to operate
them on a share basis or by
some other arrangement."
FARMS GET WAR RATINGS
Reclassification by local draft
boards of farm operators and
workers as essential under the
"war units" plan is proceeding
throughout the state. Individual
farm "war ratings," as determ
ined by the farm plans and
work sheets for 1943 now being
made for every farm, .will be
used by county war boards to
assist local draft boards in com
pleting the reclassification. The
increasingly serious farm labor
problem is getting a lot of at
tention in Washington these
days. Secretary Wickard states
that revision of the 16-unit es
sential for standard is being
contemplated to insure that no
skilled farm worker is taken
from the farm.
One of the temptations of the
aged is to feel that they no long
er amount to much because they
can no longer do the things they
once could, to feel that they are
on the shelf. Dr. Frank H. Fer
ris, Cleveland pastor.

i coast areas, said Norman S. Buch-
anan, chief of the price division
in the regional OPA office.
Previous to these orders, indi
cations pointed to higher con
sumcr milk costs, Buchanan said
but as a consequence of OPA ac
tion, prices will be fixed at the
highest charge during the month
of January.
Among the areas affected are
San Francisco, San Diego, Los
Angeles. Portland and Seattle,
the OPA official said.
A government regulation, ex
pected to be issued this week,
will reduce the price of alfalfa
hay to California, Washington
and Oregon dairymen by $4 to
$8 per ton, Buchanan stated.
The reduction of hay prices in
the three states is expected to
quiet producers who for some
time have been demanding high
er milk prices which, if granted,
would have resulted in propor
tionate increase to consumers, he
said.
The new regulation will be
temporary and will be replaced
by another within 60 days re
flecting permanent milk prices.
It is expected to stipulate that.
generally speaking, from the ef
fective date of the order until
next April 9, no distributor may
pay more for fluid milk than the
highest price paid last month.
Buchanan said.
FUEL OIL USERS
By owi
Fuel oil consumers should be

state fuel rationing representa
tive, declared today, if they ex
pect their quota to carry them
inrougn ine urst period.
the rationing Droeram for
fuel oil became effective Febru
ary l, curry reminded, although
no coupons have yet been is-
sued. Rations are based on a
maximum average temperature
of 65 degrees, he said. If tem
peratures are maintained above
this figure, more oil is being
consumed than the user will
get coupons for, Curry added.
Oil deliveries made since
February 1 required the signing
of a promissory note by which
the user agrees to pay back
coupons to the supplier. If it
takes most of the coupons the
user receives to redeem his
coupon note at the supplier's, he
will find himself in the posi
tion of not having enough left
to continue buying oil for fu
ture needs, Curry warned.
Wheat diverted
CORVALLIS, Feb. 11 OP)
The government's feed wheat
program has resulted in divert
ing some seven million bushels
of Oregon wheat to feeding uses
in the past year, the state AAA
office announced today. This is
an amount greater than one'
third of the 20-million bushel
1942 crop About half of it was
fed in Oregon and the other half
shipped to other western states.

HAY SHORTAGE
BOOSTS DAIRY
USE OF WHEAT
With the market supplies of
hay becoming extremely light
all along the Pacific coast
prices have moved up sharply
during recent weeks to the
highest levels for many years,
according to the weekly hay
market review by the OSC ex
tension service.
These conditions lend em
phasis to the information con
tained in a new food-for-victory
bulletin on feeding wheat to
milk cows under wartime condi
tions just released as Extension
Bulletin 611.
The bulletin points out that
if wheat for dairy cattle is
ground coarsely it can be fed
up to SO per cent of the grain
ration without ill effects and
that it has been fed up to 75
per cent with no trouble except
some loss of palatability. The
bulletin shows the comparative
value of different feeds at dif
ferent prices, and gives direc
tions for preparing various con
centrate mixtures containing
large amounts of coarsely
ground wheat.
From the standpoint of total
digestible nutrients, if ground
wheat can be purchased at $40
a ton or less it is a better buy
than alfalfa hay at $25 a ion,
according to the bulletin. More
wheat feeding, can thus serve to
stretch the hay supply. .
One reason for the scarcity of
hay available for shipment is
the difficulty to obtain labor
for baling and hauling. Storms
have interfered also, although
the supply of hay actually avail
able for movement is probably
quite' limited, says L. R. Brei-
thaupt, extension economist.
Specific official data as to
stocks of hay now on hand are
not available, but unofficial re
ports on hay supplies and live
stock numbers, as well as price
trends, indicate that supplies of
hay. are shorter than usual and
probably sufficient only for a
normal winter at best.
In the event that heavier than
normal feeding is required the
balance of this winter, the
value of Oregon's surplus wheat
reserve will become more ap
parent each month until new
feed becomes available, says
Breithaupt. Wheat is an excel
lent feed for other livestock, as
well as for milk cows, according
to tests made by the Oregon
experiment station over a
period of years.
MORE MACHINERY
IN PROSPECT
Increases in county quotas of
many items of farm machinery
and equipment are in prospect
as a result of WPB action to al
locate more materials to ma
chinery manufacturers. The
county farm machinery ration
ing committee will be guided by
information gathered in the cur
rent farm canvass to place these
additional machines on farms
where they are most needed
and will contribute the most to
1943 production.
Plenty of people find poker a
game of hard straits.

CATTLE MARKETS
The Portland cattle market
was strong again last Monday,
with medium to good fed steers
selling up to $15.50. Receipts
were only moderate with 950
head of cattle offered locally.
Very little change was reported
from Chicago, where a top of
$16.50 was reached. Livestock
receipts, in general, were more
normal in Portland last week, al
though new, highs for. recent
years developed on steers and fat
lambs, but this was partly due
to some extra high quality stock
being offered. The 2080 head of
cattle offered last week was
nearly double the available sup
ply the previous week, but about
500 head under the correspond
ing week a year ago.
Receipts of stocker and feeder
cattle in the middle west have
been' curtailed because of ad
verse weather conditions. The
market for feeder steers has re
flected caution on the part of
operators who are still somewhat
uncertain about the combined
effect of ceiling prices, high la
bor cost, and future price of
corn.
SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS
Only 850 head of sheep and
Iambs arrived at North Portland,
but all were offered locally. A
few sales were made at $15 for
good to choice wooled lambs,
while slightly higher quality
were quotable at $15.50, though
few sales were made at that fig
ure. Prices were about $1 high

HOG MARKETS
The North Portland hog mar
ket last week went up and then
down again so that the net re
sult at the end of the week was
about unchanged. Monday of
this week, prices were about
steady with last week's closing
average, but were somewhat be
low tho high point of a week
ago. Best weights ranging tip
to Zdu pounds brought mostly
$15.50. Only about 1000 head
were offered. Good and choice

from $14.50 to $15.50.

I.Ike other incuts these are

in a broiler, Henri, tongue, and

need long, slow cooking with

Heart or kidney is good used In

tonguo makes an excellent dish
baked with sliced vegetables.
In purchasing vnrlety meats
Mrs. Gillen suggests selecting
those that arc full, plump, and
free from blemishes. Young and
fresh liver, heart, and kidney
are bright in color. Fresh brains
are pinkish grey. All of these
meats are more perishable than
regular cuts and hence need to
be kept cool and cooked
promptly.
Kidney Stow
Wash and skin a beef kidney;
cut out tho fut, blood vessels,
and connective tissue. Cover
with cold water, heut slowly to

one quart of fresh water and
simmer tho kidney until tender.
Remove the kidney and cut in
