I LAND BANK BUYS BONDS LO CALLY The federal land bank of Spok ane has allocated »9000 in war bond purchases to Malheur county, Her bert J. Davis, secretary-treasurer ot the Malheur County National Farm Loan association, announced today. The land bank, which serves Mont ana, Idaho. Washington and Oreg on, has Invested »2,000,000 In bonds, of which »500,000 has been credited to each state. The state allocation, in turn, has been credited to each national farm loan asociation gr oup office county on the basis of the number of land bank borrow ers. “Officials of our bank feel it is their patriotic duty to invest idle funds in war bonds," said R. E. Br own, president. "Money raised thr ough the fifth war loan drive is needed by our nation at this crucial •time. War bonds help to hasten the day of victory and save the lives of our boys, and the bonds themselves are a sound Investment.” Certified Seed Now In Demand Most farmers have found through experience that certified seed of any variety of crop is the best type of seed to use whether used in further production of seed or for commer cial crops. Many thousands of doll ars each year are lost by using seed of inferior quality with poor stands resulting, and consequently reduced yields. This year certified seed will be In greater demand both for lend-lease and domestic use than every before. Bach year Oregon State college, fa rm crops department cooperating with the county extension office makes available personnel for field inspection and other work in conn ection with seed certification. Far mers this year are urged to take advantage of this service and the higher prices to be obtained from certified seed and to place requests for field inspection at an early date. Seed crops which will be inspected during the month of July and poss ibly August are Ladlno clover, gr ains, war approved seed potatoes, red clover and alfalfa. Other seed crops will be inspected as requests are received. In 1943 seed crops were produced on some 5,000 acres of farm land i r Malheur county and the estim ated income was in excess of «500,- 000 dollars. This year the acreage of vegetable seeds have been incre ased and if production is at the same high level as in 1943 the ln- oome from such crops will greatly exceed that of a year ago. Malheur county is recognized as an import ant seed growing area and farmers and seed growers should be anxious to maintain a quality of seed which will tend to expand the seed bus iness and Increase the demand for Malheur county-grown seed.

A W ILL HOLD Lytle Resigns PARM Nyssa Lettuce SPECIAL MEETING M ilheur Draft Harvest Brings Board Position Record In Area j Chairman Quits Because Of Criticism Of Sel ective Service ■____ General eligibility requirements on the part Of returning world war I I veterans who wish farm security aid in re-establishing themselves on the farm, have been outlined by the county PSA committee, reports Ned L. Williams, district FISA sup ervisor, Wilson building. Ontario. Loans up to «2,500 for livestock, machinery, group services, building repair, cash rent, feed, seed, water facilities and other operating goods can be made to returning veterans who have background of farming on their own or farm experience, have secure tenure on good family- size farm through rent, lease pur chase contract or ownership, and are unable to. secure adequate cred it from local banks. PCA or similar agencies. "The county committee which re views and passes on applications will give special consideration to each veteran's application, but un der present FISA authorities cannot give preference," said Williams. "Loans are accompanied by mana gement asswtance where needed, bear five percent Interest and are generally repayable over a five year period. The average loan Is around »1,000 but oan be higher where the farm and the veteran's experience and credit needs justify It." Present assistance In farm pur chase under the Bankhear-Jones tenant act, and provisions of the G. I. bill of rights will be announced as soon as details of administration are determined. Meanwhile every effo rt is being made by F'SA to wo rk closely with the county veterans’ committees and interested groups in giving every possible aid. The resignation of Circuit Judge Robert D. Lytle as a member of the Malheur county selective service bo ard was accepted last week by G ov ernor Earl Snell. Judge Lytle has served as chairman of the board since It was first organized in Oct ober of 1940 and together with the other directors has received high praise from many quarters upon the efficiency with which the organiza tion was completed and the fairness with which the board has dealt wi th the problems that have arisen. Other members of the board are Joe F. Dyer, Ontario, and Fled Koopman, Nyssa. In regard to his resignation, Ju dge Lytle. In an Interview, made the following statement: "Prior to and since the primary election, letters from friends and acquaintances over the county in dicated that because of my activity as chairman of the Malheur oounty selective board, many people would and did vote against me by reason of resentment over the action of the board either in granting certain deferments or in refusing to grant certain deferments. "M y personal fortunes in the pol itical field are unimportant. I t Is important that our people have the right attitude toward the selective service system. This system is the only democratic way of raising an army, and the people must have fa ith in the integrity of the local bo ards. My resignation will enable the governor to appoint a new member, after which a new chairman will be selected. When the people find the new board and the new chairman accord them the same treatment un der the same strict selective service regulation, as they have received in the past, the complalners may le arn that the fault Is not in the Board, nor Is it in the system, but Is within themselves. " I have been a member of the Board and its ohairman since Its organization October 16, 1940, and regret leaving the work, but do so In the hope that i t we can convince the complalners oi their error, we may have a better attitude toward the system In this country."

Freezing food is the best method known for saving the greatest num ber of vitamins and other food val ue and desirable texture. Canning is the second best method.
