TURN-BACK-FlOUR-DAY
THURSDAY, JUNE 5TH

one June 5th our young men will
register and offer their lives to our
government to help save democracy.
Wheat flour now sent to France may
save hundreds OF thousands OF the
lives our own soldiers and our brave
allies.
! The L. S. food administration OF
Oregon is asking all individuals to
voluntarily turn back such flour as
they have ON hand and to 30 wheat
less until August LIST. Anyone not
using over one half pound OF wheat
flour per person per week will be
considered TO he observing the
wheatless rules. This Is not COM
pulsory but those who realize the
seriousness OF the situation believe
! Il to be their patriotic duty.
The government viii receive brok-
N sacks.
ANY individual who has more
flour than Is necessary to run him
until August (based on Ia pounds
OF flour per week for those not en-
gagged In heavy manual labor and
sh pounds for those engaged In
hard manual iabor) will be consider
ed as having on hand more flour
than they are entitled to and II Is
demanded Of such individuals that
they return any surplus flour. based
on said regulation. otherwise they
will be reported to the U. s. food
administration and without doubt
BY them would be considered hoard
ers and for such class there Is very
severe penalty.
II Is recommended that the mer-
chants receive flour turned back by
individuals. giving them credit for
so many pounds OF flour returned.
n the individual desires to trade II
for other merchandise. an estimated
price might be arrived at. but final
settlement delayed until the food ad-
ministration settles for the flour and
then the merchant allow the custo-
mer whatever price the food admin
istration pays for the same which II
is assumed will be present whole
sale price.
As a matter OF convenience. and
also for patriotic demonstration. l
have set Wednesday. June 5. as the
day for all individuals to voluntarily
turn back any flour which they are
willing to turn over to our govern
ment for the use Of our soldiers and
our allies. n this is not conven-
lent day then do II as soon as you
can. II is recommended that mer-
chants receiving said flour make
such display or returned flour as in
their Judgment will help the cause.

A Wise Investment.

AS an aid in the solution of the
labor problem, the agriculturist will
find 1t to his advantage to install
modern machinery and equipment
wherever possible. This will save
manpower and horsepower and, in
many instances, the work is also
done more promptly and satisfactor-
lily by machine than by hand.
Cream separators, dish washers,
potato diggers, milking machines and
hundred others come in this class
of labor-savlng devices. Do you have
them in daily use or are you plug
ging along in the old way?
The Puget Sound Light & Power
Company of Seattle report the install
lation of more electrical cooking,
lighting and power machinery among
the farmers in that vicinity than was
ever known before. Why not do this
in the Rogue River valley and at
other points about the state? The
conditions are ideal and the need is
great. Investment in such things is
in the end a saving,

of Butter.
A man writes in Farm and Fire
side and says:
Cream is easily and quickly pre-
pared for the market-simply emp
tied into the can and sold to the
cream buyer or shipped direct. The
check for the cream will come within
q day or two, or at the end Of the
week following the delivery of the
cream at the railway station,
"There is a big demand for any
quantity of good cream at all times
of the year. All that is necessary to
do in marketing cream is to run the
milk through the separator, cool the
cream, pour 1t into the delivery can,
attach a tag to the can if the cream
is shipped by rail, and deliver 1t at
the railway station. / deliver my
cream three times a week during the
summer and twice a week in winter.
"On the other hand If the cream
is converted into butter at home the
cream must be ripened and held at
the proper temperature until ready
to churn, which Is not an easy mat
ter on the average farm in either
summer or winter After the cream
is ripened to the proper degree, there
is the laborious job of churning it
into butter. On the farm where only
small amount of butter is made the
farm wife generally does the churn-
ing, and usually she must do it in the
old-fashloned way, which is certainly
no easy task"

Save Food to Meet War Needs.

Every farmer should keep some
sort of account system of his busi'
ness. 1t should show the profit and
loss of all of his operations.
The manufacturers success is due
largely to his ability to buy raw ma
terial at the lowest prices. to sell
the finished products through an eff
ficient distribution system and to
take advantage Of more economical
methods Of production. He builds up
a system to eliminate waste, ineffi-
cheney and extravaganza. Every
farmer should do the same.
One means of increasing our sup
ply Of food is to prevent loss from
hog cholera. Keep the hog house
and lot clean. This is important In
preventing outbreaks. If any Of the
hogs show signs Of sickness, notify

increasing the percentage of potash

Fall planting of fruit trees should
be delayed to late November of early
December, advises the United States
Department of Agriculture.
A pomologist Of the department
writes in reply to New Jersey in
quirer he would hesitate to advise
planting in any section as early as
October because of probable injury to
the trees. In sections of the north
where cold weather prohibits plant
ing in November or December, he
says, it is usually better to plant In
the spring Apple trees can be plant
ed with safety in the fall farther
north than peach trees and other less
hardy kinds.
At the Missouri experiment station
it recently has been shown that little
or no root action takes place with
fall-planted trees until the surface of
the ground has begun to freeze, and
the trees planted early in the fall
may lose considerable vitality before
they begin root action.
