Fanners who have not planted any
wheat for harvest during 1939, 1940
and 1041, but desire to plant wheat
for the first time in 1942, are consid-
ered new growers. The acreage which
new growers will receive is taken
from a county reserve, which in most
cases, represents approximately 3 per
cent of the county allotment.
All farms receiving wheat acreage
allotments for the first time this year,
regardless of the size of the acreage,
will be classified as non-allotment
farms. Regulations also state that the
larger of the wheat acreage allotment
or 15 acres may be harvested without
incurring deductions. Non-allotment
farms will not be eligible for either
conservation or parity payments, but
in case marketing quotas are in ef-
fect loans may be made on that por-
tion of the wheat in excess of the
farm marketing quota.
Requests for new grower allot-
ments should be filed in the county
AAA office as soon as practicable,
Mr. Green pointed out, since no ap-
plications may bp filed after the clos-
ing date.
A MESSAGE ON THE WALLS OF CHINA
C<EW Chinese living in Kunming,
a remote town In China's "Wild
West," will ever see New York har-
bor or America. But today, the (ace
of New York's Statue of Liberty,
the symbol of American democracy,
ia familiar to all of them because
h Chinese artist painted this trib-
ute to America high up on the mas-
•tve wall that encircles the tows.
The giant mural was painted to
convey a message ot thanks to the
United States for the large quanti-
ties of defense, medical and relief
•supplies which dally pass through
Kunming on their way to China'*
war-time capital at Chungking. The
mural depicts Chinese government
forces, led by General Chiang Kai-
shek on a charging horse, saluting
i he American Statue of Liberty as
a symbol of the United States.
Kunming, which Is the capital of
the Southwest province of Yunnan,
Is the international gateway Into
Free China; a center of communi-
cations, railways and highways tbat
radiate in all directions, and the
Chinese terminal of the now-famous
Burma Road, which starts at La-
shio, and continues northward
through the Burmese mountains
into South China. At Kunming, it
meets a hub of highways.
A Wisconsin-born American, Dr.
John Earl Baker, recently went to
Kunming as "resident director gen-
eral" of the Burma Road. Dr. Ba-
ker's actual job Is to untangle the
traffic problems on China's main
lifeline; to clear oil obstructions
caused by washouts, landslides, and
debris left by Uie frequent Japa-
nese bombardments.

In the other direction, headed for
Rangoon and the United States, are
increasing quantities of raw mate-
fiata and produce ot all kinds from

antimony, iron, silk, tung oil, rice,
medicinal herbs and tea.
In pre-war days, Kunming was an
obscure village, with little modern
industry and no modern institutions.
Following the Japanese occupation
of the coastal provinces, however,
factories were moved into the In-
terior, and Kunming today ,1s a
boom town.
Kunming Is also a major relief
center, containing many ware-
houses from which American relief
supplies are distributed to all parts
of Free China.

ment sent by the eight relief agen-
cies of United China Relief—food,
clothing and vitamins for China's

mittee for Chinese War Orphans;

from the American Bureau tor Med-
ical Aid to China; books, scien-

During the 1941-42 school year
the National Youth Administration
Student Work Program will enable
approximately twenty thousand Texas
young people between the ages of 16

according to J. C. Kellam, state NYA
administrator.
Allocations have been made to the
254 counties and directly to schools
in cities having populations of 25,000
or more. Many of the county place-
ment committees already have met,
and their recommendations for allot-
ments of NYA Student Work jobs
now are being received in this office.
During the 1940-41 school year
the NYA College and Graduate and
School Work Programs assisted 7,500
youth, who otherwise could not have
continued their educations, in 85
Texas colleges and universities and
2,585 secondary educational institut-

Helpful Hints On Peach
Canning are Offered
A record breaking crop of south-
ern peaches, the largest produced in
the l.u.t 10 ye«irs gives homemakers
an excellent oppoitunity to serve fresh
peaches dailj and can peaches for
winter servings, according to Mr.
David G. Guthrie, Are* Supervisor,
Surplus Marketing Administration,
lT. S. Department of Agriculture.
"This crop, one of the finest pro-
duced in several years, is ideal for
canning, preserving and pickling" he
said, "giving thrifty homemakers a
perfect opportunty to serve peaches
the yew round". Mr. Guthrie «g*
gested the following helpful hints on
home canning from one of the most
brown after the yare peeled. That's
whv it is important to get peaches in-
to the containers ami then into the
water hath as quickly as possible. You
• an avoid peelinjr Oo many peaches—
it you know exactly how many jars
Cr rans you are able to process at one
time, ami allow from 2 to 2'a pounds*
of peaches for each quart jar or No.
-3 tin can.
"I'rccooking the peaches and pack
irifj; them hot also helps to prevent
the brown discoloration. The water-
bath method of processing is more
successful than the oven method. Ir
takes peaches longer to process in the
oven, and they may turn brown beforr
they are heated through. Another dis-
advantage of using the oven method
is that the juice bubblse out, leaving
the top peach 'high and dry,'
Like most other fruits, peaches are
canned with sugar sirup. Make it up
ahead of time allowing from 5 to ! 2'5
Cups of sugar to a gallon of water,
depending on how sweet you like the
peaches. I se warm water and stir un-
til the sugar is dissolved. Boil for 3
ro 5 minutes, with peach pit added
to every quail of sirup to give it a de-
lightful almond flavor. Strain out the
[ins before using the sirup.
" I he skins come off easily, if you
dip he peaches in boiling water about
one-half minute and then plunge into
cold water for a tew seconds. Use <t
square of cheesecloth or a wire bas-
ket to hold the fruit. A knife of glass
or stainless steel is best for removing
skins. Cut the peaches in halves to
take our the pits, or dice them. Next
simmer the peahces in sirup for 4 to
8 minutes, depending on their firm-
ness. Heat the peaches through, but
do not cook them.
"Pack the hot peaches into the con
taincrs as quickly as possible. Fill the
containers with hot sirup and run a
spatula down the side to get out any
air bubbles. Seal the cans, and par
tiail seal glass jars. Place the contain-
ms in the boiling water bath and
process them for 15 minutes, with the
water all around them boiling hard."
