(Ansell 8., private first class, saw
Action in the Ardennes bulge In
Aance. He lost a leg, was hospital-
ised for a long time and finally was
transferred to a general hospital
in the United States where he was
fitted with an artificial limb. He
rehabilitated himself very well and
is now studying medicine in a large
University under the provisions of
the Federal Vocational Rehabili-
tation program for veterans.
He is not entirely satisfied with
his artificial limb and he also feels
he could use an extra limb in case
Ot accident to the first one.)
The Veterans Administration Is
fn*hnrtip»d t,o supply an additional
limb to Ansell if he requests it. A
letter to the Veterans Administra-
tbe machinery in motion tor the
procurement and fitting of a new
limb.
For those disabilities which are
service connected and in need of
treatment not amounting
to hospitalization, the Veterans Ad-
ministration is prepared to author-
ize s uch treatment, either through
local medical resources or through
the outpatient clinics of the Vet-
erans Administration facilities.
. The American Red Cross main-
tains contact with Veterans Ad-
ministration offices, both with the
Veterans Administration personnel
and through resident or itinerant
field directors. Through these con-
tact# the Red Cross home service
worker is prepared to assist the
veteran in promptly procuring the
sendees he Is entitled to by law.

During the winter months hunt-
ing rabbits is a popular sport and
• wild rabbit makes very fine food,
tut according to the State Health
Department, extreme care should be
led in the handling of wild rab-
bits to prevent a possible infection
With -tularemia.
“Those little cottontail rabbits are
not always as harmless as they
look, states Dr. Geo. W. "Cox, State
Health officer, “for some of them
are infected with tularemia. This
serious disease .which is also’tnown
ae fitbbit fever is acquired by hu-
man jM&gs through contact with
Infected rabbits or through con-
spreads it from animal to animal.
Dr. Cox cautioned tftat hunters
should sht^s» «Mfiy n'JOfts that
run away at his approach. A rabbit
wlthodt the energy to scamper away
from the him ter Is likely to be a sick
one that" can transmit tularemia.
“It- IS necessary to handle un-
cooked rabbit meat cautiously. Dr.
Oox said. “The use of rubber gloves
will project your hands since the
germs, may- enter the body through
any cut or scratch however small
If an. Infected rabbit is handled1
without gloves. ’’
As a further safeguard, Dr. Cox
said rabbit meat should be cooked
very thoroughly so as to destroy
any disease producing germs that
may be present. This means that It
would be cooked at a boiling tem-
perature for at least twenty minutes
before cooking it to your individual
taste.

THIS GIRL WELDER was pleased as punch when she learned her job to help wui a war. She may
smile again at the opportunity to apply her skill in welding structural members for farm buildings
on the site, a new and lighter job created by a new system of construction developed by research
engineers of Camegie-IUinois Steel Corporation, U. S. Steel subsidiary, and University of Wiscon
sin; This steel development also promises work for the HANDY MAN AND HIS TRUCK, be he honor-
ably discharged soldier or a temporarily displaced war worker. The SITE-WELDED FARM BUILD-
INGS (above), with their shining steel sheathing, promise low-cost help toward the solution of tw<
vexing postwar problems—shortage of building labor and of traditional structural jnatenals.

Texas’ 1945 Crop
Values Decline
ANSWERS TO
Test Your L Q.
A decline of about 18 per cent in
the value of Texas' 1945 farm crops
compared with the total for 1944
registered the first check In the suc-
cessive ^upswing for the past five
years.
The comparative figures, assem-
bled by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, Austin, give the pre-
liminary total for 1945 as $754,914,-
000 against the revised estimates of
$916,346,000 for 1944. The BAE cau-
tions, however, that these farm
value computations, based upon
estimates of production and season
average prices, should not be con
fused with cash Income figures
which represent returns from only
that portion of the crop which Is
sold.
Broadly, the decline may be at'
trlbuted largely to the failure or
Nature to cooperate as well In 1945
as In preceding years. But the BAE
ls more literal In ascribing it as
“due mainly to smaller production
of cotton, sorghum for grain, and
wheat.” However, excessive rain at
planning time In east Texas ahd
drought in the western portion of
the state delayed getting seed cot-
ton into the ground or caused a-
bandonment of prospective cotton
acreage. After a Very promising fall'
and winter growing season, wheat
deteriorated .rapidly under dry, hot
weather as It approached maturity,
while the expected volume of sor-
ghum for grain shrank under sim-
ilar conditions.
As a consequence, the BAE re
port said, these major crops val
ued at about $366,000,000 compared
with $507,000,000 in 1944, account
for a large part of the total de-
creases In value of all crops. The
combined value of <y>tton lint and
cottonseed production in 1945, esti-
mated at $223,000,000 was aboqt
$87,000,000, or 27 per cent, less than
In 1944. Value of wheat production,
while dropping from nearly $100,-
000,000 for the record 1844 crop to
about $61,000,000 this year, still was
above the level of any other year
since the high priced crop of 1919.
Sorghum for garin was valued at
$72,000,000, compared with the re-
cord total of $87,000,000 for the
1944 crop aiid $79,000,000 for 1943
Corn, the fourth major grain crop
declined $4,741 ,000 in value below
1944
The BAE points out that the price
level as a whole was little different
in 1945 from the preceding year
and price changes of Individual
commodities mostly were small.
