Gas, Truck Shortage Restricts Mileage The rccont warning from Petroleum Administrator Ickcs that the critical gasoline shortage In the east may spread to other areas, brought reminder this week to Klamath county farm ers to "make every mile a useful mile." Besides the gasoline situation the scarcity of new tnicks is an other Important reason for keep ing mileage at a minimum, re ports the county farm transpor tation committee. Very few new or used trucks are avnilnbls for replacement. Here are some of the things county farmers are asked to avoid to make present tnteks Inst longer: 1. Driving a truck empty when a full or partial load is available. , 2. Taking a truck to.. town with a partial load where regu lar collection service is available, 3. Using a heavy truck for Jobs that a pick-up or passenger car can do. The committee urges farmers to pool their hauling with neighbors wherever pos slble, Classified Ads Bring Results.

'BUY WAR BONDS Frail Girls Help Kansas Farmer Harvest Wheat PRETTY PIMirUE, Kes., July 8 (I'l Two Kunxii formers started the harvesting of 720 acres of wheat with three hired hnnds one experienced man, a former university beauty queen and a Now York girl seeing the west for the first time. Today the grain Is ready (or shipment to a hungry world and tlio feminine hands, Mrs. Venore Voran of Pretty Prairie and Mrs. Dottlo Watson of Dowrisvillc, N. Y-, are sunburned but proud. They're war wives, with hus bands In North Africa, and thoy volunteered to help relieve the farm labor shortage. Mrs. Vor an, a beauty queen at the Uni versity of Kansas not long ago, Barley Loan Rate Assures Good Return For Klamath Crops Commodity credit's announce ment of a 1043 barley rale of CO cents a bushel assures Klam ath county farmers of a favor ably return for that crop, the county AAA committee reports. This rote Is for No. 1 barley and is 20 cents higher than the 1042 loan value. The rale for No. 2 barley is 78 cents a bushel, and grades down to No. 9 are eligible. Loans will be made on barley stored on farms, or in approved warehouses pro- viding storage is paid by the grower. A loan rate of 75 ' cents a bushel for rye grading No. 2 or better has been announced also. '44 Equipment May Be Ready for Fall Use While" the Klamath county USDA war board has not yet re ceived details of the procedure for rationing farm machinery next yeur. they have received word indicating that some of the 1044 equipment may be avail able for fall planting this year. - The war production board has Just issued the 1044 farm mach inery order, permitting output equal to 80 per cent of the value of machinery produced in 1940. This is approximately double 1043 s quota of 40 per cent. Man ufacturers will also be allowed greater leeway In the production of various types and models of mnchlnery. No limit has been placed on production of repair parts.

' She met Mrs. Watson at Fort Knox, Ky., where their husbands wore earning their commissions. They became warm friends and when Lieutenants Voran and Vail Watson sailed for North Africa, Mrs. Watson promised to visit Kansas, The harvest Idea struck them after the New York girl's arrival and Homer and L. ft. French agreed to put them to work. Barefooted and barebacked, Mrs. Watson drove the tractor. Mrs. Voran, sleeves and pants legs of overalls rolled, wielded a shovel, loading wheat from a combine and hauling it to mar ket. The hot Kansas sun baked the ground, but the girls were on the Job 12 hours a day. "I didn't think the girls would last long," admitted L. R. French, "I fully expected them to play out in a day or two at the most." But tho banker's wife and the New Yorker stuck to the task, Just as women have on other farms. And this wheat-producing area sent 2217 cars of the grain, to Kansas City, largest aftcr-the-Fourth-oWuly run since 1041. A year ago Kansas City ele vators were so crammed wheat was moving only under permit. Todoy the problem is one of transportation with railroads al ready strained under wartime business. Storage facilities are in a much improved position with approxi mately 30 million bushels of space available for new grain if railroads can haul it.

SAVE MAN HOURS WET HAY MAY WARNS I Storing hay too soon that has been wet by rain is more likely to cause heating and result in fire from spontaneous ignition than hay stored too green, says Art King, extension specialist in soils and head of the rural fire control project In Oregon. Either kind of wet hay is dangerous, however. Every year in Oregon some good barns full of hay, as well as stacked hay, are destroyed by fire because the hay was put up before being properly cured, says King In a new extension circular, No. 412, dealing with how to pre vent such losses. The safest way to prevent them is to make sure the hay is dry enough before it is mowed or stacked. A new idea has been develop ed recently, however, for use In those emergencies where hay heats to the danger point but it is discovered before fire breaks out. In such cases, fire frequent ly starts when air reaches the hottest spot while the hay is be ing removed. This can be pre vented by the use of compressed carbon dioxide, such as is obtain able through any soda fountain where it is kept in steel drums By applying this compressed gas through proper equipment to the hot spots in a mow or stack the danger points can be cooled down enough to make removal of the hay entirely safe. Details of this method, as well as other suggestions for avoiding such fires are contained in the circu lar.

Temperature, Factors in Egg Time, temperature and hu midity are the three main fac tors in preserving quality of eggs In summertime, cautions Bob McCambridge, assistant county agent. Experience of poultry producers in Klamath county has shown repeatedly that neglect of these factors causes one of the greatest losses to the poultry industry, which is doubly serious now v h e n every egg is needed by t. e na tion. High temperature and low hu midity combine to cause rapid deterioration in eggs. Under such conditions the normally thick white is changed to a thin, watery condition in which bac teria, when present, multiply more rapidly, and other unde sirable changes take place. Hot weather recommendations worked out by the experiment station at Oregon State college in cooperation with growers call for gathering eggs three or four times a day and cooling them Immediately. They are then held at a temperature from 40 to 65 degrees with a relative humidity above 80 per cent. Even with this care the sooner eggs are marketed the better the quality will be, although they can be held under such conditions for a considerable period. Most successful poultry men market eggs at least twice a week in summer months and are careful to see that they are completely cool before they are cased. Any rough handling of eggs, even though shells are not cracked, increase the number of loose air cells and breaks down the partitions in the white. Removal of cockerels to make sure that market eggs are infertile is another important ALMA McLEAN Is aow at the Palace Beauty Shop Ut MiM - Rwa Sill SwfrwMy at - -: IPIAL SISUTY SHOP- Chicks at Sears JPL Humidity Big Production factor in maintaining quality. Despite the best care by the producer, however, the whole saler. Jobber, retailer and con sumer must all help if eggs reach the table in the best con dition. Plans for constructing an In sulated and humidified egg storage room are given in OSC station circular No. 138. In ex periments with this type of storage room almost three times as many eggs held in it went as first class as the same kind of eggs held for the same length of time in a feed room.
