that outside garbage cans are
well covered from flies at all
times and keep protecting fly
screens on doors and windows in
good repair so that disease carry-
ing flies can not enter the home

Pens'where animals ard kept in

By RUTH W. MARSHALL

Before" this year canning in
structions regarding the tighteri/
ing of jar lids has been to alway3
seal jars air tight before process-

tions on the box then tighten be-

COTTON CROP
QUOTA FOR YEAR
IS SUSPENDED
, Marketing quotas have ben sus-
pended on cotton for 1943 and
1944. This nleans that no market-
ing cards will be issued, and that
excess cotton produced this year
and ijext may be sold without col-
lection of a penalty, which has in
the past amounted to about $40.
per bale, according to B. F. Vance,
State AAA secretary. *
There is no change ifrACP o r
Cotton Loan provi^ons, however,
according to the interpretation ot
the new order. This will mean thau
the producer will be paid on his
allotted acres as before, if he does
not exceed 110 percent of his al-
lotment.
Producers that exceed 110 per-
cent of their allotment by more
than three acres —or 3 percent
whichever is"tJie~Targer will not
receive any ACP payment; also,
excess cotton will not be eligible
for a loan at more than 60 percent
of the loan rate. In other words a
producer may plant his entir2
farm in cotton if ne wishes and
sell it on-the open market without
payment of a, penalty, but he will
not receive a government checK
on his cotton or he cannot put hia
excess in the loan at more than 60
percent of the loan rate.
It wiHTBe necessary to continue
measuring"" cotton and reporting
performance as in the past in or-
der to determine the producers
ACP payments and his eligibility
for a cotton loan.
A general clean-up of tin can*
and trash is now on in the city
With scarcely and each person is urged to clean
up their premises, piling all tan
cans in the alleys in container if
possible and burn all trash that
can be burned. The city truck "will
haUl it off.
Mayor F. M. Dunn stated here
this week that there is a fear
amoung the people, of infantile"
paralysis, and the best way t o
ward off ah epidemic of this kind
is to give the premises a thorough
cleaning, by cutting -all weed*
around the place and in the al-
leys, and cleaning -out the ' tin
cans, which is a fine place for
mosquito breeding.
Another thing that needs our
attention justnow is cow lots,
hog pens and chicken pens, with-
in the city, Mayor DumT* said.
These ,also must be cleaned UP
thoroughly, for, where they are
not kept cleaned are harbengers
of germs that can easily start an
epidemic of fever.
Lets make this cleaif-up IOS} per
cent, it is for the benefit of each
citizen, as well as the entire com-
munity, that this be-done.

OLD AGE PENSION
CHECKS ARE NOW_
BEING MAILED
AUSTIN, Texas —Federal funds
for payments to old age assistance
recipients, needy blind, and de-
pendent children were received to-
day by the State Treasury. Offi-
cials of thef Dept. of Public Wel-
fare stated that as many checks
will be placed in the mails each
day as can be handled by"" the
Post Office and Treasury Depart-
ment. Ordinarily it takes at least
six days to handle the. 183,220
old age checks, the 4,485 checKS
for the--Wind, and the 11,908 for
dependent children; "The Welfare
Department will place the checks
in the mail just as fast as they
can be handled by the postal au-
thorities and the Treasury De-
partment.14" v _ „
The checks for old age assist-
ance, needy blind, and dependent
children were held up because of
the delay in the receipt of federal
funds. The. federal money was not
received because of the recent'
hold-up in many federal appropri-
ations and the fact that the new

OPA Tightens Up Otti —
Gasoline Rationing
War Price and Rationing
Boards throughout the fifth re-
gion of OPA shortly will be in-
structed to "tignten up" in tm>
issuance of supplemental gasoline
rations because of an acute tire-
shortage which steadily is grow-
ing worse.
The program was mapped this
week following disclosure of fig-
ures pointing to an anticipatea
deficit of 3,000,000 tires during the
next six months.
The public should recognize and
understand the situation and con-
serve their tires and vehicles t o
the ~ fullest extent, Regional Ad* '
ministrator, Max McCullough said,
adding:
"This is essential because our
war and civilian economy are vit-
ally dependent upon keeping a
large number of passenger cars
in operation".
