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,

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

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

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. India's telegraph plant has
three leaflets forming each leaf,
and two of these keep up a con
stant wig-wagging as though they
were flashing signals.
and baling costs of $4 a ton
may be added where they apply.

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

factor in maintaining quality.
Despite the best care by the
producer, however, the whole

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.

The rate at which the 80 mil

wheat is disappearing resulted
this week in modification ol
the commodity . credit feed
wheat program. Discontinued
were sales of government wheat
stored in commodity credit
portable bins, and also a pro

redeem farm stored wheat at '
the feed wheat prices.
Until the SO . million bushels
are exhausted, sales will con
tinue of feed wheat shipped in
to a county,, and county 'AA
committees may continue to sell
wheat from lots in storaga ear
marked for feed. The price, un-;
