of business firms who have
had experience in farming and by the
utilization of furloughed soldier labor
can the maximum acreage of spring
grain be sown. So many men have
been taken from the farms by enlist
ment and draft for military service
that there is scarcity of men left to
put in the crops. The remarkably high
wages IN shipbuilding plants have TAX
EN- many others. Acres are lying idle,
teams are standing in the stalls and
seeds are available for the crops. But
men must be found to conduct the farm
operations. The high prices and scare
ity of wheat substitutes are also mat.
ters for careful consideration, and on
all of these points President Kerr is IN
possession of the latest and most vital
facts.
"The Oregon address follows
weeks series in North Dakota, where
DR.. Kerr was assigned to carry the
message of increased yields and dimin-
lshed use by Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. He has been entrusted with
this message as direct representative
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. He has figures to back
up his arguments and appeals for CO.
operation and self denial.
Following the general meeting DR..
Kerr will hold conference with a
number of the leading citizens of each
community.

AUTO CAMP MEET
ING NEXT MONDAY

That the city council and members Of
opinion on the proposed purchase Of
three acre tract on the Heights to be
used as free camping ground for WIS.,
iting motorists, mass meeting will
be held at the Commercial club next
Monday night. The site, provided it
will be used exclusively for an automo-
bile park. has been offered the city
and club by A. A. Schenck for $1,000.
While sentiment is largely in favor
of the purchase some are against it.
Commissioner Hannum opposes the
camp, declaring that it will not attract
the class of motorists that we will
want to visit the community. Only
hy-by-night motorists will stop at a
camp, he SAYS. The exponents of the
camp, however. declare that prominent
families, if good camp is established,
will patronze it. 1t is pointed out that
some Of Hood River's most influential
citizens have patronized auto camps
from Oregon to southern California.
Others declare that the proposed camp
should be located on the side of the
Highway.
c. N. Ravlin, who has long argued
for location on the Heights, says that
the Hood River people should realize
that the site, located on the Heights,
will be of greatest benefit to them. If
the camp were on the Highway, the
motoring tourist would slide through
just as passengers on the train now do,
and never realize that Hood River was
anything more than canyonside.
