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.

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.
