FSA Activity
This part of the State has certain-
ly been blessed with more good rains
this past week-end. Most of the
farmers had in their oats and clover.
Those who have just finished get-
ing out cabbage plants are fortunate
as it will make them come right
along. Many FSA farmers will get a
second cutting of hay and those who
have feeder calves will have some
mighty good grazing.
The recent rains have cooled the at-
mosphere and will help to bring the
the winter vegetables on faster. The
continued heat was somewhat of a
hindrance. With these fine rains that
have fallen we have the assurance
*>f growing those crops that as so es-
sential for our boys on the front.
Everybody, not only the farmer,
should take advantage of this good
season and grow his own food for
his family and preserve it, thereby
leaving food already canned to be
shipped across to the War front.
Food can shorten this war if we
will produce it—we not only need
food for our civilians and soldiers
but for our fighting Allies—and to
help feed the peoples of Europe as
they are liberated from the Axis.
We, as citizens, have one big task
in front of us, “food fight for free-
dom.” We must produce—we may
buy war bonds, willingly, conserve
on gasoline and tires, as well as
clothing, but we must get this “food
production” in our system, as well.
We must talk it and produce it—we
must get the spirit of the thing, then
we will realize its importance
This spirit can be mobilized for
the effective use of food; every citi-
zen will learn to think of food as a
crucial, vital war material. We must
learn to rank food as important as
any other thing used to win this war,
such as machinery, rubber, bonds
along with guns, ships, planes, etc.
For food—American food—can be
the deadliest weapon of all. It may
save thousands of lives—the course
and length of this war may depend
on how successfully we produce it—

plan took precedence and the dinner
period was transferred to the Moni-
tor-Mutual program.
Miller McClintock, President of
Mutual, said in announcing the new
program: "These projected news-
casts will be far different from any
currently in use. They will open and
vclose each day from the News Room
of The Christian Science Monitor In
Boston with a news resume and an-
alysis by Volney Hurd, Director of
Broadcasting for the Monitor.
"Mr. Hurd will be in constant con-
tact with the Monitor’s overseas staff
by cable prior to each broadcast. In
this way, he will be able to integrate vice,
the pick-ups into a pattern, against
a background of sound analysis. For
the first time,“Mr. McClintock said,
SUGAR: Stamp No. 14 good for
5 pounds through October. Stamps
Nos. 15 and 16 good for 5 pounds
each for home canning through Oc-
tober 31.
SHOES: Stamp No. 18 good for 1
pair. Validity has been extended in-
definitely.
MEATS, FATS: Red stamps Z, Y
and Z good through October 2.
Brown stamps A and B good through
October 2. Brown stamp C good
through October 30. Brown stamp D
becomes good October 3 and remains
good through October 30.
PROCESSED FOODS: Blue stamps
U, V and W expire October 20
Cut Expected in Shoe Ration
The new shoe stamp, No. 1 on the
“Airplane” sheet in War Ration Book
Three, which becomes valid Novem-
ber 1, probably will have to last six
months, OPA has announced. At the
same time OPA said that stamp 18,
originally scheduled to expire Oc-
tober 31, is extended indefinitely
and will overlap the next stamp.
OPA’s present plan is to eliminate
expiration dates on shoe stamps and
to make new stamps valid as soon as
supplies warrant. This enables a per-
son to save stamps until shoes are
needed.
More Leather For Shoe Repair
More leather will be available for
repair of civilian shoes, as the result
of a recent WPB order.
More Soap Provided
Consumers will have greater soap
supplies within a few weeks. The
War Food Administration has an-
nounced a program to provide a 28
percent increase in soap production
for civilian use. WFA emphasized
that there will be no excess and
urged soapsaving by every possible
method.
May Requisition Idle Trucks
Idle used trucks may be reguisi-
tioned by district ODT offices or Ag-
ricultural County War Boards to
transport vital agricultural products
where such transport service is vital-
ly needed. Requisitioning will be
necessary only where owners of idle
used trucks arc unwilling to allow
the use of their vehicles in this ser-
Market Turkeys Now
Farmers are urged to market their
turkeys as soon as possible so that
“such a program will have the co-jthe American Armed Forces over
hesion and unity of a well-edited
newspaper.”

Certain Seeds Under Price Control
Buyer prices on processed and un-
processed seeds of alfalfa (northern-
central, and southern) red clover,
alsike clover, sweet clover, and tim-
»>thy have been restored to approx-
imate levels paid last spring. At the
.same time, reflecting parity prices
or better on sales of these seeds to

Safeguard Government Checks
Despite repeated warning, records
of the Bureau of Naval Personnel
(►how a steady increase in the num-
ber of allotment and family allow-
ance checks stolen or lost after de-
livery. To prevent loss, the follow-
ing suggestions have been offered:
(1) be sure your name is on your
mail box or door; (2) watch for your
check and deposit it promptly in a
regular place; (3) if you move, no-
tify your postmaster and either the
Allotment Division or th^ Family
Allowance Division of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts, Navy De-
partment, Cleveland, Ohio.
Cut Football Travel
All school, college and other foot-
ball teams have been asked by the
Office of Defense Transportation to
confine the sale and distribution of
tickets to the residents of the local
area of the cities in which the games
are to be played. By so restricting
sales, ODT pointed out, football
games can be held without increas-
ing the already heavy load on inter-
city buses and trains.
OPA Sets Grape Prices
Maximum prices for Concord
grapes and California juice grapes
have been set by OPA at levels sub-
stantially lower than prices that had
prevailed. Meanwhile the War Food
Administration allocated processed
Concord grapes as follows: 60 per-
cent for jams, jellies, and fruit but
ters; 20 percent for grape juiee; and
20 percent in reserve for future allo-
cations.
Give Soldier's Serial Number
The public is asked to use a sol-
dier’s army serial number in every
case where inquiries are made to of-
ficial agencies concerning either of-
ficer or enlisted personnel. Much
time and material is wasted if the
number is not given, according to
the War De partment.

One Corporal Gets Five Japs
An army corporal, who failed to
get the order to withdraw, recently
killed five of an attacking eight-man
Japanese patrol, then found to his
astonishment that he had been left
alone far in advance of his marine
companions. Corp. Henderson, whose
home is in Cannonville, Utah, ex-
plained, "I figured they were still
with me, so when the Japs came in
sight I opened up with my tommy.”
After he had killed five of the Japs,
the other three ran. It was then Cor-
poral Henderson discovered he was
alone. He spent the night in the jun-
gle and walked in for chow the next
morning.

the War Department reports. Equip-
ment is provided for the favorite out-
door sports of the fighting men, par-
ticularly baseball and football. Those
preferring less active recreation
have the choice of fards, dominoes,
darts, chess, checkers, backgammon,
or bingo. Included among the pur-
chases are musical instruments.

their bees because of lack of suffi-
cient natural food, may obtain addi-
tional sugar allotments if they are

British Information Services report-
ed recently. By lowering room tem-
peratures in their homes, by using
less hot water, by getting along with
less light, and By cutting down on
fuels used in cooking, the British
saved four million tons of coal in the
winter of 1942-43. This year the
Ministry has urged that economies
be pushed further so that six mil-
lion tons of coal can be saved. As
was the case last winter, this win-
ter’s fuel saving in Britain will be
on a voluntary basis. There will be
no rationing but Britons will be ex-
pected to base their fuel consump-
tion on a chart prepared by the Min-
istry of Fuel.
Arrangements to merge the news
gathering facilities of the Monitor
and the news distribution ftcilities
of Mutual came after months of ne-
gotiation between the two organiza-
tions. It is believed to be the first
time that a great newspaper’s over-
seas facilities have been made avail-
able to a major United States radio
network.
As the pian was evolved it grew
in magnitude. Mutual had for some
time assigned the choice dinner-hour
period for newscasts to its own corps
of foregin correspondents, but with
the development of the Monitor’s
"integration” idea, whereby a group

separated points throughout the

achievement award by the War Food
Administrtion. They will be cited
for achievements in one or more of
the following: production record and
extent by which the county exceed-
ed 1943 goals; overcoming severe
handicaps; extent of shifts to vital
war crops; improvement in farm
production efficiency; fuller use of
land and labor resources. One award
may be made in each state with oth-
