One of these books start ed now can bs filled In with a record of, earlier transactions this year and will thus, by the end of tho year, provido an au thentic record on which to fig ure future tax obligations. - ' Experience has shown, said Mumford, that thoso farmers who have accurate records usu ally save on taxes, as they are much more unlikely to forgot scattered expenses thun they aro Income, which Is usually re ceived In relatively larger amounts. Those blank account books will be sold at the usual price of 29 cents each and mny bo ob tained from county extension offices or direct from tho college.

RH AUGER- 515 Market Open All Day Saturday Phon. 7221 1 By WALTER WARREN SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 UP) Western pouHrymen tried to keep production going today under the handicap of bewilder ment over prices. Tha OPA blanket order of last week hatched the confusion. OPA officials recognize the un certainty existing from producer through tho trade channels, and today promised a clarifying statement as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the officials In price discussions gave prelimin ary Information that indicated the top price a consumer could expect to pay for poultry under any circumstances, ready for the pan, was about 73 cents a pound. That would be for fancy packed, quick-frozen eviscerated broil ers. That top would rule through out California, Oregon, Washing ton, Nevada and Arizona. The OPA men said chickens would be marketed as broilers, fryers, roasters, fowl and stags. Tho first three are young birds up to 21 pounds they are broil ers, from that to 4 pounds fry ers, and above 4 pounds, roast ers. Hens are fowl, and roosters stags. , Live ceilings will be, for broil ers 30 cents, fryers and roasters 29, fowl 251, stags 211.

PORTLAND, Ore., April 29 Any move to return so-called "loyal" Japanese to the western defense zone for the purpose of alleviating critical farm labor shortages of the area, will not meet with the approval of tho farmers of the region, Morton Tompkins, Master of the Oregon State grange, stated early this week. Tompkin's statement came following radio and newspaper reports that such a move Is being contemplated. "I don't know who is behind this movement to permit Japan ese farm workers to return to this area, but I can assure you that the farmers are not asking to have them back," Tompkins said, "The farmers don't want them and what little they might be able to increase food produc tion here will be far outweighed by the menace to our security which their presence would oc casion. "Military authorities tell us the Japs will bomb the north west this summer if it is within their power to do so. When and if these enefny planes come, we want to be sure that we don't have any of Hirohito's friends In our midst If they do, we'll have enough to do without play ing nursemaid to a bunch of Jap farm bands, who may. or may not be loyal," Tompkins con cluded.

Utah Boy Takes First Place in FFA Speech Meet PORTLAND, Ore., April 29 (IP) Seventeen-year-old Howard Barlow of Tremonton, Utah, will represent the west in the Na tional Future Farmers of Amer ica speaking championships at Kansas City next fall.

LIE 11 CORVALLIS, April 39 (P) Up to 31,000 tons of lime will be available to help maintain the war production strength of Ore gon farm land this year, the state AAA office reported today in an nouncing the acceptance of con tracts from five northwest plants for that amount of agricultural limestone. Lime will be distributed to farmers under the AAA conser vation materials program, with the cost to be deducted from each farmer's conservation pay ments. Last year Oregon farm ers used this program to obtain 13,500 tons of limestone, Im proving soil productivity on 10,000 acres. THIN SHELLED EGGS DUETO LACK IF LIME Thin shelled eggs may be caused either by- a lack of cal cium or of vitamin D, which makes possible tha use of cal cium, says Noel L. Bennlon, ex tension poultryman at Orogon State college. Oyster shall- or limestone grits together with a sufficient amount of vitamin D materials are usually fed in sup plying this need. Hot summer weather also has some effect on egg size and shell texture, as temperatures above 80 degrees cause smaller egg size and thinner shells. Eggs with only a membrane instead of a hard shell have been laid prematurely, which may be caused by a. failure of the shell gland to function, or It may oc cur before egg organs become properly adjusted in the young hen. These occasional soft shells are usually, unimportant in a well fed and well managed flock, says Bennlon.

Thousands ask us why Ms the water Our founder, the late teopold P. Schmidt, in 1896 chose Tumwater, near Olympia, as the site of our -original plant because he found there spring water which, when ana lyzed by a nationally recognized brewing laboratory and tested by actual brewing, proved to be ideal Olympia Beer met instant favor with tfi$ public and prior to prohibition sales grew to large proportions. Daring these same' years our management established three, other breweries in Pacific Coast cities. We pnt into the sales promotion and marketing of the products of these other, three plants all the planning, energy and intelligence that had gone into the market ing of Olympia Beer. We installed equipment that was like that used in the Olympia plant. We followed precisely the same methods of brewing. The same management directed the processes and used identically the same materials. In each city the best water supply available was . used. We hoped that we might approach the quality of pur Olympia Beer To our great disappointment, we found ourselves unable to produce in any of the new plants a beer of like character and comparable to that brewed at Tumwater. W The public did not accept the new brands as the equal of Olympia Beer. The sales of Olympia in the cities where the new brew . eries were operating showed no decrease. In the operation of these other Breweries" 'we were forced to recognize that without this one essential factor water from our famous subterranean wells-we could not duplicate Olympia Beer. Therefore, In 1933, wlten teS resumed rthe brewing of Olympia Beer, tee decided to confine our operations to the one plant at Olympia, with the knowledge that "It's the Water" that makes Olympia Beer so good, Olympia Brewing Company Olympia, Washington, U.S.A. grtfidtnt and Master Brewer "GOOD" drinking water may not be good for brewing Some of the best drinking waters are not good for brewing because of one or more of the following defeclst .
