4 Thursday, May 31, 1945 Vernonia Eagle Washington Snapshots Foresighter spokesmen for farm groups look to wartime pat ents on new plastics, building ma terials, synthetic textiles, etc., to use up a lot of surplus farm products when Europe and Asia go back to raising their food. Right now, when Americans are short of meat, sugar and other favorite foods, and whole sale starvation threatens Europe, there is no public interest in ways to dispose of excess farm products. Too many people want a chance to consume a few ex cess beefsteaks. However, farm spokesmen cite a statement by Arthur <C. Bunce, federal reserve system, to the effect that farm production has increased by one-third during world war II, compared with 10 per cent in world war I. Tractors planters, and harvesters make it possible to raise more food with less help. New fertilizers increase production per acre.

Where it ran wild at first is now the famous Dry Falls — which should be a lesson forever that even Paul Bunyan could get too big and smart for his own good.” Phone 773 RIVERVIEW TREE FARMS GROW Fifty-five tree farms were for mally accepted into the Amer ican Tree Farms systems since January 1, 1945, bringing the total number of tree farms to 777 nationally and the acreage to 9,446,300.
