Effective immediately the Bas-
trop County Agri ultural consei
vation Associatio will operate on
a 40 hour week. The AAA offic
will lx- closed every Saturday all
day. The office will be open
Monday through Friday from 8
A. M. to 12 noon, and from 1 P. M.
to 5 P. M., .James A. Dorsett, Ad-
ministrative Officer of the Ban*

last year. Net returns, including
Government payments, to farm
operators in 11)14 totaled almost
12..r> billion dollars, compared to
4.0 billion in 11)40.
Secretary of Agriculture Clin-
ton P. Anderson has repeated his
previous declaration thut the Gov-
ernment must fulfill it* price sup
port promise- to farmers to pro-
tect them against possible future
consequences of increased wartime
production.
In a recent speech in New York,
the new secretary said that far-
mers want assurance that the pro-
mises will be kept. He urged
that "we total up our food needs,
both military and civilian, and set
that total as a production g' al
for agriculture for 1946, but that
military requirements be regard-
ed ax firm contract or commit-
ments.''
"I think the Army and Navy
will need food, but if they don't,
the surplus must not b«. used to
break the economy of the Amer
ban farmer. It can much better
be employed in relieving distress
around the world."
Describing himself as an "apos-
tle of abundant production," Mr.
Anderson said that food subsidies
will tie difficult to eliminate "but
the job must be done." If the
elimination of subsidies i* not to
have serious effect on the produc-
er. they must lw removed when
"the demand i good and the price
is strong."
He praised the farmer for his
wartime effort and said that he
must be protected "against the
possibiliy that his very patriot-
ism and hard work will become
the instrument of his destruction,"
The more used fats that can
be assembled now, the sooner will
housewives find their soap sup-
plies replenished and the sooner
will farmers find unlimted sup-
plies of insecticides, fungicides,
veterinary preparations and othei
items needed on the farm.

Dan Kocnig of the Grassyville
A \A Community was in the office
last week getting some informa-
tion on construction of an earthen
dam. \\rhilc in the office he got
approval to plant 200 pounds of
Austrian winter peas. 'I didn't
plant any winter cover crop last
year," says Mr. Kocnig. "Some
of my nieghbors did and there
was such a difference in the crop
that followed the winter cover
crop that I decided that it was
time for me to do something about
my land."
L. D. Ramsey from the East
Elgin and McDade AAA Commun-
ity called by the office last week
to see if all of his reports wer -
up to date. Mr. Ramsey expres-
sed his satisfaction with the ear
then dam he built with AAA as-
sistance. He says he has one
of the finest tanks he has ever
-een and that he will not want for
livfstock water anymore.
In cast* some farmers want to
buy some Hulwm clover seed to
plant this fall, they can get the
seed from Mr. Kleber Trigg at
Hastrop, < r Mr. Herbert Fuchs at
Paige. Both of these men have
informed this office that they
bave had the seed tested and that
the percent germination and per-
cent purity are very good. Far-
mer* who buy seed for cash will
need to obtain a receipt and fib-
it with the AAA if they intend
to earn AAA payment. They will
abo need to obtain prior approval
of the county committee for the
practice.

served a good purpose, but |ust as the horse and buggy have
been rcplaccd by the automobile, ordinary heating equipment is
being rcplaccd by newer, improved types, which art more fully
protecting the health of the family and preventing damage to
walls and fu'niturc.
Our winters ore damp, and regular type heaters cousc conden-
sation, known as "house sweating." To eliminate this condition
we recommend the installation of modern ADEQUATE, VENTED,
ond AUTOMATIC heoting equipment.
VENTED heating equipment passes the moisture, which is o
product of all combustion, to the outside air through a vent.
This reduces "house sweating" to a large extent.
To elimmatc "house sweating" further, the heating unit must
be ADEQUATE. Condensation can't take place where all areas
within the home ore kept at an even temperature, so when
ADEQUATE heating is used, all surfaces arc warm and there's
no opportunity for damp air to condcnse.
To do the complete job, however, AUTOMATIC heating is
necessary. By this method a small, inexpensive thermostat con-
trols the temperature in your home 24 hours a day. Winter colds
and other illnesses, which arc caused by quick changes in tem-
perature, arc no longer a problem. With AUTOMATIC heating
you enjoy, to the maximum, the benefits of the world's finest
fuel—Natural Gas.
Many dealers offer ADEQUATE - VENTED - AUTOMATIC
gas heating equipment, and there is a type for your home,
whether it be large or small. AVA heating is adaptable to any
floor plan, ond it may be installed in your attic, closct, floor, or
an adjoining garage. When you buy, there is only one thing to
remember—insist on ADEQUATE - VENTED - AUTOMATIC
heating equipment.

Speed Up Discharge
With the rnte of di charges from
the armed forces soon expected to
exceed 500,000 per month, several
organizations, among them the
American Red Cross, are taking
steps to expand services to the vet-
erans tr> make easier the path from
uniform to civilian clothes.
The latest move of the Red Cross
i? the enlargement of the field di-
rectors' staffs in hospitals and the
installation of full-time paid field di-
rectors in vetei ant administration
hospitals to work with Red Cross
volunteers now serving in these hos-
pitals.
Many veterans in their haste to
get home often pass up the service
available at hospitals and separation
centers ond often regret their haste,
for the army and navy and other
organizations have provided trained
personnel to inform the veteran of
all his rights, to help him plan his
future and to advise him In many
fields. He should take advantage of
these facilities

Santa's Pack To Be Slim With
Lack of Toys Again This Year
Santa Claus' expense account
will be low this year, for he is
expected to carry a lean pack of
toys. As far as the youngsters
are concerned, the etui of the war
will mean no increase in new,
tricky toys expected in many
Christmas stockings.
This is the opinion of William
E. Dozier, price specialist of the
San Antonio district Office of Price
Administration, who reported that
only a trickle of the pre-war
amount will be on dealer's shelves,
and that "lack" will be a key word
I Part of the answer of "what to
1 give" may lie in the surplus equip-
ment now being sold by the Army
1 at ceiling prices. This would in-
j dude pup tents, canteens, hand-
chanical equipment, according to i °Perated sirens, safety helmets,

Prices shed the only cheerful
light on the sad toy story, for they
will remain at those of 11)42 for
all models that were made at that
time. And all new kinds of toys,
Mr. Dozier announced, will have
prices in line with those of 1942—
as closely as OPA can set them.
Wooden toys still will be in
abundance, and these probably will
be refurbished w ith as much metal i
as can be spared. But all-metal
toys, such as electric trains, bi-
cycles, and tricycles will total only
about 10 per cent of the pre-wari
supply, Mr. Dozier said.
N'o plastic toys are expected, j
because dyes have to be changed
from war equipment. There is an-

designs will be released, and there

Santa's pocketbook will not rise
in an inflationary spiral," he con-
cluded.
