WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (Pi
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones called anew on the na
tion's farmers for a 1-out food
and feed production this year as
he announced final agricultural
production goals for 194.5.
These goals represent the total
of state goals recommended by
farmers, farm leaders and state
agricultural officials and arc
approximately the same i as ; were
recommended by the WFA last
November 15. - ' -
This year s crop acreage goal
totaled 363,635,000 acres, nearly
three per cent more than the
1044 planted acreage and a little
more than the 363,616,000 acres
which had been suggested by the
WFA. . .
Goals for flaxseed, sugar beets
and clover crop seeds were in
creased substantially over 1944
while moderate increases were
decided upon for acreages for
dry beans, potatoes and tobacco.
Legume hay seeds and soybean
acreages will be maintained at
the record 1944 levels, Jones
said.
The WFA called for a larger
slaughter of cattle to meet in
creased military and civilian de
mands. The cattle and calf
slaughter suggested by the WFA
was 35,000,000 head, an increase
over the 33,900,000 in 1944.
Slaughter goals were not estab
lished on a state basis.
State recommendations called
for an increase in the goal for
spring pigs from 55,925,000 in
1944 to 57,563,000. The WFA
had suggested 57,000,000. Farm
ers were urged to keep more
sows for spring farrowing to
help meet the goal. The num
ber bf sows to farrow in the
spring was set finally at 9,569,
000 compared with WFA sugges
tions of 9,429,000 and the 1944
estimate of 9,187,000.
WFA has announced extension
of the price support period on
hogs to March 31, 1946 to cover
4Via norlnrl when tho snrinff niffs
of 1945 will be marketed.
The national wheat goal was
set at 67,731,000 acres. This
compares with 65,454,000 acres
planted for harvest in 1944.
. For potatoes the goal was set
at 3,137,000 acres compared

Attack on Nazis
LONDON, Jan. 16 (VP) Nor
wegian troops, launching their
first big attack against the Ger
mans, have driven 80 miles
through the snow-piled wastes
of Finmark and captured one of
the two most Important German
air bases in northern Norway,
the Norwegian high command
announced today.
The advance was made on a
broad front and increased tha
liberated area of burned and
ravaged Finmark to 8684 square
miles.

er developments were mentioned.-
On the other hand, it was
stated that the project might
bring certain benefits to the ba
sin through water storage and
additional land reclamation.
It was emphasized that a max
imum figure of acreage that
might ev ntually be brought un
der irrigation in the Klamath
basin must be determined, and
that there should be a determina
tion of the maximum water that
might be needed for that acre
age under any crop conditions.
Henzel and his committee will
work on these figures.
The 1933 report points out
that legislative action by both
Oregon and California would be
necessary for a project of the
kind proposed.
Tunnel Suggested
In that report, it was suggest
ed that a tunnel might be con
structed south of Tulelake to
carry water into the Pit basin
from the Klamath basin. At
last night's meeting, one speaker
said he understood the whole
project might cost $100,000,000.
It was brought out that a proj
ect that would divert virtually
all surplus water would elimi
nate the California Oregon Pow
er company Droiects on Klam
ath river, and would also pre
vent any further power develop
ment there by private or public
interests, it is understood Cali
fornia fish and game commission
has indicated interest in the
amount of water that would be
necessary, to go down Klamath
river for maintenance of fish
life.
Meanwhile, there were evi
dences of rising concern in the
cduntry along Klamath river in
California, which might be seri
ously affected by the diversion.
Congressman Clair Engle se
cured a promise that a hearing
will also be held in Yreka, about
the time of the Klamath hearing.

PISTOL JOT
Mrs. George O. Van Orden,
wife of the commanding officer
at the Marine Barracks, Is one of
the outstanding pistol shots in
the United States, and during
the course of a few years, she
has been awarded 36 medals, 20
of which were won when she
competed against men.
In 1940, Mrs. Van Orden took
first place in the eastern Marks
men's championship and was the
Virginia women's champion in
1940, 1941 and 1942, as well as
being the pistol champion of
Maryland and New Jersey In
1941. She also won fourth place
in the Women's International
pistol tournament at Miami, Flu.,
in 1942, competing against wom
en of nations all over the world.
Col. Van Ordcn's favorite
story about his wife's experienc
es in this field, is of the time
they were attending a formal
dinner in Winchester, Va., and
Mrs. Van Orden was suddenly
asked to fire the first shot at tho
opening of the new Farqiilcr Gun
club in that town. She was
dressed in a formal, fox furs and
high heels, the light was very
poor, and the target was a small
champagne bottle suspended
from a string, with the cork fac
inc toward her. Mrs. Van Orden
fired the first shot, and hit the
cork without touching the rim
of the bottle, a remarkable feat
considering the conditions and
the fact that she was not using
her own pistol.
Mrs. Van Ordens Interest m
pistols began when she and her
husband were living in Haiti. He
was away a great deal -of the
time, and a revolution was being
waged which made it dangerous
for anyone living alone, so Col.
Van Orden taught her to use a
pistol merely for protection for
herself. She became interested
in this as a sport, and entered
her first contest at Wakefield,
Miss., during which time sho
proved to be better than most of
the men who were competing
against her.
