U FARMERS HELPING IN WAR The farmers and stockmen of Malheur county are doing their part and will continue to perform important ser vices in production of food for war. These producers are performing their part in the face of difficult handi caps, such as increasing prices itnd loss of labor to the armed services and de fense industries. Some of the stockmen attending their annual meeting in Ontario recently complained that in some sections of Oregon and Idaho selective service boards were not granting deferment to farm laborers. Certainly farmers are entitled to keep their key men, who would be of more benefit on the farm than learning to tote a rifle or handle a technical me chanical contrivance in the army. In line with the need of more food production the farmers of this section are going to increase their sugar beet acreage greatly for 1942. Of course, while receiving $10 a ton for beets the farmers will benefit by the increased production, but at the same time they will be performing an important service for their country. Dairvmen of this section have in dicated that they intend to increase pro duction of dairy products because such products are essential in the war effort. The dairymen are urged to boost produc tion through improvement in their herds rather than through an increase in the number of cows. This method will not only increase production and improve the quality, hut it will reduce the cost per pound. At the same time it will save un necessary expansion and excessive use of feeds.

'¿ ¿ T * (Grants Pass Bulletin) Irrigating C anvas Big Bend TEN DAVIS TOO BIG TO HURRY The week’s news from Salem in dicates that there were several political candidates in too big a hurry to jump on the band-wagon of criticism of the state tax commission. Forebodings that arose when the commission ruled that all property sub ject to local taxes should bo assessed on a uniform basis, became a sizeable public clamor when some expert figured out that the taxes on city residence properties would be increased bv some thirty-five per cent as the result of the ruling. Now. with figures at hand showing actual decreases on about 85 per cent of residence properties, and with increases falling in only a few places, some of the boys are going to do a lot of verbal scrambling to get out from under their earlier vote-getting moves. Probably it is too much to expect complete honesty from political candi dates (particularly the “outs” trying to get in) but those who misuse an honest effort to improve Oregon’s taxation sys tem are deserving of a sharp reprimand from the voters. ano recital of her granddaughter, Clara Ann Durnil, Wednesday evening in the Crystal ball room in the Hctel Boise.
