Would Mobilize
State Resources

Governor Withycombe announced
Monday that he had suggested to the
Portland Chamber of Commerce that
It organize the commercial bodies of
the st2te into an Oregon League OF
Agricultural Preparedness" for the
purpose of mobilizing all resources
of the state during the war.
"At this time, when mobilization
Of all resources of our country is
the paramount nGtional problem, Il
is the patriotic duty Of all of US to
cooperate in every possible way" said
the governor. 1T seems to me, Ore
CONS great opportunity lies in Or
ganized encouragement and develop
ment of agricultural production.
with this in view, now suggest
that the Portland Chamber Of Com
merce take the lead in organizing the
commercial bodies of the state in an
Oregon league for agricultural pre-
paredness, the objects of which shall
be a maximum production of staple
crops, chiefly useful in feeding the
nation and protecting our citizenship
from hardships by the increased liv-
ing cost Every community should
be organized so that its vacant lots
and unused fields, so far as possible,
shall he placed under cultivation. An
especially important work can be
done with school children. Each one
should become volunteer patriotic
farmer this summer. Organized pur-
chases of seed would cut the cost
and would make possible the free
distribution to those who cannot af-
ford this initial investment.
