A rapid step-up In the demand may soon cause some areas to be short temporarily but ob servers reporting to the service are optimistic. The close of school has aided in meeting the demand for strawberry pickers. As the sea son hits its peak this week, hundreds of women and child ren are at work beside tran Midwest Grain Offers Relief The first dribble of what everyone hopes will grow into a flood of midwest grain to re lieve the acute poultry feed situ ation in Oregon and Washington reached the northwest June 5. Five carloads of oats, shipped by the Farmers Union Grain Ter minal association, made up this fit st shipment. Oregon"s two car share was speedily allocated for mixing into poultry feed. Orders for more than 400 carloads of midwest country elevator operators are undertak ing to assemble corn, oats and barlev for shipment to Oregon and Washington and other feed short states to tide over poultry and livestock feeders until 1946 ciop feeds become available. A measure of temporary re lief previously had been provid ed by the release of 30 carloads of government famine relief wheat to Oregon feeders. A similar amount went to Wash ington. The release in both states was made on a lend-lease arrangement whereby grain merchandising firms agreed to repay the wheat to commodity credit out of the 1946 crop. The state PMA committee, aided by its feed advisory com mittee, had Oregon's 30 car loads moving into feed channels within 24 hours. By now, the state's hungry chickens and tur keys probably have eaten up most of this lend-lease wheat. Requests have gone in for addi tional releases from famine re lief stocks for stop-gaps until midwest grain materializes, ac cording to word received by the local AAA office. tients who flocked into the growing areas. All housing ac commodations are taxed, the ex tension service reports. Cherries will be ready to pick in Jackson county within a week, growers report, and the heavy harvest in the Salem area will begin late this month. Calls for 3200 pickers to start soon after June 20 have been issued by 91 Salem area farm ers. Whether enough can be found to meet initial demands is causing some concern, the extension service reports. Multnomah Surplus In Multnomah county there is a labor surplus but much of it is expected to be absorbed In fruit thinning and cherry pick- Southern Oregon job appli cants are being sent out as rap idly as they show up, the serv ice says, with pear thinning un der way generally and haying at its peak. Josephine county's early labor shortage has eased and Klamath county reports plenty of workers. Calls for on ion weeders and irrigators are next on the list. Across the Cascades, cherry pickers are flocking into The Dalles and are finding housing their major problem. At Hood River jobs are open to apple thinners. Demand and supply are evenly balanced in the central Oregon counties of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson, reports indicate, and farther cast, in Malheur county, migrant workers are taking up the slack on most farmers' calls for help in haying, beet and onion weeding, lettuce cutting and fruit thinning. The Athena area of Umatilla county needs several hundred pitchfork men around the pea viners. Housing is available only for single men. At the season's peak, they will put in 12-hour shifts daily. 10 Of Proteins To Be Set Aside Processors will be required to set aside 10 per cent of their June production of soybean, cot tonseed, linseed and peanut meal, the same percentage as in May. Processors are instructed to ship the set-aside ' meal through regular trade channels for use in designated states, in cluding Oregon, which are short of their fair share ot meal. Ship ments directed from January 21 Uirough May 21 total 129,000 tons. GRAIN - ONIONS - GRASS & Selective Spraying Complete Pest and Weed Control Service ED GREENE Box 404, Tulelake Klamath thena 5063, or Inquire at J. W. Kerns Implement Company - - Civilian Production Reaches New Record Federal reserve board and civilian production administra tion reports show that in March less than nine months alter V-J Day civilian produc tion was 10 per cent above Feb ruary and 69 per cent higher than in our last pre-war years, 1935-1939. Retail sales have risen steadily and are now 24 per cent higher than Inst Sep tember. The mystery of short ages in the face of record po duction is explained by the sim ple fact that the national spend able income Is twice as bin to day as it was in 1939. In addi tion to wanting to buy more, some families want to spend large parts of their wartime sav ings. OPA says we will still have shortages when production gets twice as high as it was in 1939. Crickets Hit Klamath Area For the first time in several years, an epidemic of Mornlon crickets is reported in the Klam ath region. The crickets have infested about 200 acres in the Klamath marsh area in the northern part of the county, according to County Agent C. A. Henderson. Steps have been taken to con trol the pests. Several years ago. there was a serious infestation of the crick ets in eastern Klamath county. An intensive campaign is be ing carried on in the county against grasshoppers. About 12. 000 pounds of poison go out daily from the mixing station here, and considerable quanti ties are being taken to infested areas from the Klamath Indian agency. Airplanes are being used to some extent in weed control on grain fields. School Lunch Canning Urged Klamath county schools run contribute to the famine relief program by using more home and community-canned foods in school lunch programs next year, according to iiurrell Short, chairman of the county ACA committee and emergency food program munnger for the coun ty. Since schools can obtain sugar for . t h a t purpose, Mr. Short urged sponsoring groups and in dividuals to increase canning for school lunches to rase de mand on commercial stocks needed for famine relief. , In addition, he pointed out, a stepoed-up school lunch can ning program will assure well balanced, meals at lower cost for children, and will help pre vent waste of seasonally-abundant fruits and vegetables. Schools apply to the state OPA office for allotments of canning sugar for use by the school or by groups which are willing to process foods donated to or purchased by the school. One pound of sugar will be granted for every four quarts of finished canned fruit or Juice, plus an amount for milk ing jim and Jellies not to ex ceed 9 pounds for euch 1000 meals served in 1U45. As soon as the canning is completed, the school reports to (he OI'A on the amount actually canned.

CROWN MILLS PORTLAND, OREGON Linton Cunningham, county j fire warden reminds county resi-1 dents that if they plan to burn off any large area of land it is required by state law to get a fire permit first. On small fires to burn trash and weeds it is not necessary to get a permit, but the county shop should be immediately informed if the fire gets out ot control, i Cunningham adds that a fire per- mit will not furnish any protec tion in case the fire gets away. For a permit, the Klamath county shop should be called. The ruling applies to the county excluding the city 'of Klamath Falls over which the city fire de partment has authority. Wheat To Be Loaned If Bread Is Short To keep flour supplies flow ing to areas where consumer bread supplies are short, mills having wheat and flour total ing less than one-half the au thorized grind for domestic dis tribution' may receive consid eration for loans from govern ment stocks awaiting shipment to famine areas. The wheat will be supplied the mills through merchandisers upon authoriza tion from the PMA Grain Branch. The wheat will be made from stocks purchased by the government under the re cently concluded bonus plan which brought in 81,280.016 bushels for shipment to famine areas. Loaned wheat will be replaced by merchandisers from the 1948 crop before it is need ed to meet future shipping schedules. 1 VBCBTABLM KBSaVatTS i j with typical Heinz care, t Heinr Strained Peas are packed within hours of har vesting to retain in high de gree the original nutritive niialitimt nf frh nn USDA Anticipates Dairy Product Rise Except for butter, per capita supplies of dairy products are expected to be greater than in 1145, USDA says.
