Oregon Cheese for
People Of Oregon

An urgent appeal is being made hy
w. B. Aver federal food admins
traitor for Oregon, for Oregon people
to eat Oregon cheese
THE United States Food Admins
tration is making an effort to have
cheese used more literally through
out the nation, in the diet of the
American people," said Mr.. Aver,
'and the administration here in Ore
gon is making a special effort to
bring about a greater consumption of
cheese in the state, for special reas-
ons
There are three reasons why Ore
gon people should eat Oregon cheese
as a regular feature OF their diet.
First, because cheese used as a sub
stitute will conserve more meat prod
ucts for our armies and our allies.
Second, support will be given to the
Oregon industry of cheese manufac
ture, and through it to the dairying
! industry, which is now greatly ham
pered by the high cost of feed and
other difficulties Third. because the
utilization of a food commodity al
ready at hand will release additional
railroad facilities for the transporta-
tion of other greatly needed commod-
titles.
Cheese is one of the chief tissue
building foods and contains high nu-
tritive values in compact form. 1t
may be prepared in many appetizing
ways and should be very popula:

family make a point of having cheese

C0TT0NY MAPLE SCALE PEST
Where Trees Are Evidently Suffering
From Attack of Insects Protec-
ton Is Necessary

Among other trees and woody
plants often more or less injured by
the cottony maple scale, are the elm,
honey locust, black locust black wal
nut, sumac, willow, poplar, beech,
hawthorn, bittersweet, grapevine, and
Virginia creeper. Injury to oaks Is
reported from Georgia and other south
ern states. Honeysuckle, dogwood,
mulberry, snowberry, smoketree, syrin-
ga and others are sometimes injured.
Something over 1900 eggs are usu-
ally laid by each female, records of
3,400 being known.
1t is usually difficult to say whether
trees infested by this pest should re-
ceive special treatment, or whether
they may be left to the natural course
of events. This scale is extremely
subject to parasites and attacks of
other insect enemies, particularly the
ladybugs and their larvae. Neverthe-
less, where trees are evidently suffer
ing from the scale attack it is always
prudent, and often necessary, to take
artificial means of protection.

PROPER SHELTER AND PAINT
Many Nickels Can Be Saved by Over
hauling and Painting Machinery
on Rainy Winter Days.

(By ]. r. KICKS, Mississippi Station)
"a nickel saved is a nickel made"
Many nickels, and dollars, too, can be
saved in shop bills and the cost of new
farm machinery by hauling in all plows,
harrows, hay rakes and other imple-
ments and storing them under shelter
Still more nickels can be saved If the
odd times and rainy days during the
winter are used to overhaul and re-
paint these machines.
The present cost of machinery makes
it more than ever necessary that every
tool be made to do its maximum
amount of service. Thousands of dol
lars that go out each spring for farm
machinery can be kept at home If
farmers will build implement sheds in
stead of making use of convenient
trees or leaving their tools to warp,
crack and rust out in the open field.
Paint, too, is a wonderful preserver
Of wood and on the metal parts 1t pre-
vents the formation of coat Of rust
which not only looks bad, but eats
away practically as much Of the metal
as is worn off by season of hard use.
Grease or oil will preserve the mold
boards and other bright-wearing parts
where paint cannot be used.
