On The Home Front-:-
FVuroem of the nation have emerg-
n! in tho last week as the No. 1 sol-
diers on the Home F'ront, and in the
Sontfiwest where the planting season
ia here or so*m will be, agriculture is
being mobilize*] everywhere t<> help
win the war with food.
Food is an important weapon in to-
tal war and the record crop produced
last year on American farms repre-
sents a major victory for the United
Nations.
Calling on farmers for unprece-
dented production in 1943, President
Roofwvelt has said that food already
vent *o the people of North Africa is
saving the energies and the live# ol
American troops there. Similarly all
■over the world food fmm our coun-
try's farms is helping tthe United Na-
tions toward victory.
From the South Pacific to the win-
tor front in Russia, from Africa to
India, American f* od is giving stren-
gth to the men in the battle lines, and
sometimes also to the men and wo-
men working behind the line-.
The vital place that farmers hold
in the entire war strategy is shown
by the fact tihat, in addition to the
foods they are requested to raise in-
stead «f non-e-sential surplus crops.
Aheir long staple cotton will go into
parachutes; their oils will go into
paints for the ships and planes and
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Cfcronic bronchitis may develop If j
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
runs, and their grains into alcohol
to make explosives.
The farmers also are vital factors
in our supplying food to earn tfhe
friendship of people in liberated
areas ami to serve as a promise and
an encouragement to the people wha
are not yet, fice. On top of last
year's record production, it is going
to take a lot more to win the final
victory and win the peace that will
follow.
As President Roosevelt said, we
must produce all we can of every es-
sential farm product; we must divide
our supplies wisely, and use them
carefully. We can not aff id to waste
either our products or our agricul-
tural energies; we must use both
where thev will do the most good.
cbitis is not treated and you cannot af
ford to take a chance with any medicim
less potent than Creomulsion which
right to the scat of the trouble to
loosen and expel germ laden
and aid nature to soothe and
leal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial
mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood creo-
sote by special process with other time
tested medicines for coughs. It contains
no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines you
have tried, tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulsion with the under-
standing you must like the way it quick -

sleep, or you are to have your money

'Emphasizing all of these facts,
Home Front developments in tin
last week centered around agriculture
and agricultural products.
The Office of Price A .ministratioi
froze corn prices at January 11 le-
vels to 'halt further sharp advances
and averted the danger of a squeeze
on hog production, thus cheeking t.lv
danger of an upward break-through
on meat prices.
Inasmuch as the jx>rk requirements
are the greatest on record, the up
ward pressure on corn prices already
had caused them to pass parity. The
price control action benefitted the
consumers in addition to the produc-
ers.
A sore spot in the letail distri-
bution of pork also was relieved
when the OPA completely revised
pricing methods for the slaughtered
r.nimal without increases to the con-
sumer.
To help agriculture toward the
1943 goals, the War Production Boairt
approved an increase m the produc-
tion of repair parts for farm niach.
inery and equipment.
The WPB and the Department of
Agriculture also cached an agree-
ment to streamline their relationships
so that the food program can bene-
fit. In general, the US DA will ex-
ercise full responsibility and control
ever the production and distribute n
of food, while the WPB will exorcise
similar authority over materials oth-
er than food and over facilities.

A WAR CORRESPONDENT WRITES TO EVERY SOLDIER'S DAD
During the week, the OPA brought
under price control for the first tiim
feeds used for poultry and livestock.
Not only will this benefit poultry and
livestock raisers, but the step was*
an important move towards lessening
the pressure against price ceilings on
such vital cost-of-living items as
milk, butter, cheese, eg's and many
meats.
Effective January 23, the new mix-
ed feed ceilings will apply at pr duc-
er, wholesale and retail levels. F r
producers, ceiling- are established on
present costs [this the individual pro-
ducers' historical markup. For whole
saler* and retailers, ceilings a-e de-
tet mined by the addition of specified
dollar markups to list prices.

including the states of Texas, Okla-
homa and Louisiana, the recent region
