ROYS GET CHANCE
TO HELP WIN WAR

Boys of Oregon between the ages
of 6 and 81 years who want to help
the United States win the war are to
be enrolled in the United States boys
working reserve of the federal depart
ment of labor, which has opened Of
fices at 800 Corbett building.
The governments plan is to list
the boys, find out what experience in
agricultural work they have and
place them with the farmers of Ore
gon who need help in order to get
the 1918 crops harvested.
Every safeguard possible is to be
thrown about the boys. They will
be surrounded in the wheat fields by
the same influences which surround
their brothers in the trenches-by
the same organization, the Y. M.
G. A.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
Citations of the state will act as spon-
sors for the boys, or rather for their
employers, and will determine in ad-
vance the conditions Of labor under
which the boys will be employed on
the farms and the influences which
are to surround them during that
employment.

Save and Produce Pork,

An adequate supply of pork must
be available for the use of our sol
diers and the soldiers of the allies
The farmers of the United States
must not only produce more pork, but
they must hclp save it, so that the
immediate demand can be supplied.
A ham or strip of bacon less used on
the farm helps as much as one saved
in the city. Extra care in curing
meat will prevent loss, and a larger
surplus can be sold. Good shelter
and ample and judicious feeding dur
ing next month will mean more pork
for the boys in the trenches this
spring. Why not sell one of the hogs
that has been, fattened for killing
and put the money received into a
chicken house and thus enable the
housewife to raise more chickens for
your summer meat?

Dairying.

Warmth and plenty of feed are of
the utmost Importance at this season
in handling dairy cows. Cows should
be kept in the barn or shed on
stormy days, or be sheltered from the
wind, and not turned out to shiver in
the cold and wind. Water should be
warmed; otherwise the cows will
drink but little and the milk produc-
ton will fall Off No farmer would
think today of burning corn or grain
to heat his home, yet many are using
corn and grain in the form of animal
heat to warm the water COWS drink.
Especially in sections where 1t is get
ting short, feed should be used care
fully. Cows should not be allowed to
run down in flesh, as it will reduce
their ability to produce milk and
their power to resist disease. The
young calf should be given warm
milk. 1t will make him healthier and
stronger.
Cows bred in January, February or
March generally produce greater
flow of milk and more butter fat than
cows which freshen in the spring. 1t
will pay to find the best sire in the
neighborhood and breed now.
Care should be taken during cold
spells to see that barns and places
where milk and cream are kept are
we'll ventilated; otherwise odors and
tastes may be expected in the milk
and butter.

Saving Soft Corn on the Farm.

Saving Soft Corn on the Farm.
=, Sorting all the corn now stored on
the farm and putting ventilators in
the cribs will help save the soft corn
when warm weather comes. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. While corn at the top, bottom
or sides of the cribs may be in fair
shape, the corn in the middle of the
cribs may be heating badly and spoil
ing. Examine the corn irf the center
Of the cribs and take out all cob-rot-
ten and spelling ears, cautions the
department, for IL they are left in the
crib they will rapidly damage the
good ears around them.
Ventilators should be put in before
refilling tho cribs, unless they have
already been provided. Improved
ventilators can be made of planks or
rails held apart with stats, or they
can be constructed in some other suit
able manner, and should run COM
pletely through the cribs from the
outside so that the air can circulate
as freely as possible through the corn.
Air spaces every four feet throughout
the crib are recommended.
The Department of Agriculture is
making a survey of soft corn in the
country elevators to assist the rail-
roads in placing cars where they are
needed to move the corn to consum-
ing and drying points in order to save
il.

An important Difference.

The gasoline situation in this coun-
try is not to be compared with that in
Europe. England and France are al
most entirely dependent upon imports
of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack of ships.
1t Is for this reason that the use of

gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, Is the worlds largest oil
producing country and Is unable to'ex-
port more than one-quarter of its gaso-
line production. To the extent that
gasoline, Kerosene and fuel oil are used
for power purposes the supply of coal
Is conserved.

1t seems plain to the writer that the
shrinking of gold production at
time when an increase is required can
have no other effect upon the bust
ness life of the nation and the world.
There are financiers who argue that
gold is a non.essential; that some
other agency for the measure OF val

the Federal Reserve Bank as a means
through which gold is supposed to
