Cotton Ruling
' Affects Those
Who Overplant
College Station—Cotton farm-
ers who overplant their allot-
ments by not more than three
acres or three per cent, which-
ever is the larger, will not be
snsidered as "knowingly over-
planted" and may be eligible
to receive a part, of their con-
servation payments but they
wTTMje subject to conservation
penalties and marketing quota
penalties, B. F. Vance, state
AAA administrative officer, has
announced.
Conservation penalty rates, J
Vance explained, are ten times
th$ payment rate and if the
three acre overplanting is ten
per cent or more of the allot-
ment, the penalty will wipe out
the payment.
As an example, if the allot-
ment is 30 acres and the farmer
plants 33 acres, the penalty on
the three acres will wipe out
the payment on the 30 acres.
This provision, Vance ex-
plained further, in no way af-
fects marketing quota regula-
tions and the farmer will re-
ceive a red card if he over-
plants his allotment and will
be subject to a marketing quota
penalty; if he sells cotton in
excess of his farm marketing
quota.

Pasture Seeding
r- Fertilization Is
Recommended
_ "Hop, White Dutch, and bur
clover, black medic and dallis
grass should be sown in the
very near future," stated Horace
Russell, vice chairman of the
Hopkins-Rains-Wood soil con-
servation district board of sup-
ervisors.
An effort should be made now
to secure these seed so that
they can be planted between
now and Oct. 20.
These legumes and the dallis
grass will not only improve the
quality and quantity of grazing
but they will lengthen the
grazing season six to eight
weeks.
These are several precautions
necessary to assure profitable
returns from these plantings.
Some information of these
plantings. Some information
of these plants is as follows:
Soil Adaptation: White Dutch
will thrive best on moist soils,
hop and bur clover on well
drained bottoms or uplands,
black medic on heavy uplands

School Busses Must Not Transport
Bands, Debating and Football Teams
' School buses that carry root-
ball teams to games, or trans-
port school bands, debating
teams and other such groups
on excursions will lose their
eligibility for tires, the Wood
County War Price and Ration-
ing Board was advised today
by the Office of Price Adminis-
tration state headquarters.
"The State OPA office has
pointed out that under the tire
rationing rules, school buses
must be used exclusively to
transport teachers and children
from their homes to school and
back again," Mr. Robbins,
chairman of the local war price
and rationing board, explained.
"The rule further makes it
plain that school buses used for
purposes other than this lose
their future eligibility for tires,
even though the tires on them
now were acquired before ra-
tioning was put into effect,"
he continued.
"Many of us are football fans
and we'd like to be able to
say that the buses could be
used to carry the teams to their
games, but we know this must
not be done, or we will jeopar-
dize the transportation means
depend on these buses to get
to school, especially in rural
neighborhoods."
He added that the only al-
ternative for football teams
appear to be the use of private
automobiles which are ineligible
for tires and retreads anyway,
or to resort to public buses and
trains.
"That is something for each
school to determine," Mr. Rob-
bins added, "after it considers
the fact that public transpor-
tation already is taxed to the
limit with wartime trffic, and
the rubber situation is so criti-
cal we know we must conserve
every ounce of it for essential
needs."
Mr. Robbins also pointed out
that a school cannot designate
one special bus to handle ex-
cursions by the football team,
band and other such groups,
without jeopardizing the tire
eligibility of all of that school's
buses.
"The rationing rules are strict
on that point," he said. "The
applicant must establish that
the regular school bus cannot
be replaced by another vehicle
owned or operated by the appli-
cant before it completely estab-
of thousands of children who lishes eligibility.'

THE COLD FIGURES ABOVE barely hint at the three years of
fighting sacrifice which the British people have devoted to
smashing the Axis. British income tax starts on an income of
$440. The standard rate is 50 per cent; with surtax it rises to
97 y2 per cent. War Savings include nearly $200,000,000 which
Britons have voluntarily lent their government without interest.
The growth of British war production has to be shown by per-
centages based on 100 rather than by actual figures which are
secret. The chart shows only a few examples of the restric-
tions placed by law on the supply of consumer goods—and even
the limited supplies permitted are not always available to the
shopper. Many foods not rationed are completely unobtain-
able. Thus the whole people contributes to victory.
and well drained bottoms and
dallis grass on nearly all loca-
tions.
Planting Kate: Hop clover 3
lbs., White Dutch 2 lbs., bur
clover 8 lbs., black medic 5
lbs., dallis grass 10 lbs. per acre.
Inoculation: The clovers
should be inoculated—Use ni-
trogin A inoculant on bur clov-
er and black medic and use B
inoculant on hop and White
Dutch.
Fertilization: Apply 200 tc
lbs. of 20 per cent phos-** be to broadcast phosphate, then
300
phate by broadcasting prior to
planting and disc lightly or
harrow. Liming will pay, espe-
cially on black medic.
Seedbed Preparation: These
seed should be planted on
established sod since they will
give best returns with a base
grass and should not be molest-
ed after securing stand in order
to sod base grasses. The seed-
bed should be firm, yet not
hard. Good preparation would
disc lightly or harrow. The
grass on the area should be
mowed or grazed close so that
the seed will contact the ground
immediately.
Planting Method: Inoculate
seed, mix together, then mix
with barnyard manure and
broadcast or drop in piles,
about a double hand full to the
pile. If broadcast, the area
should be fenced tc control
grazing If dropped in piles,
the livestock will not molest
the the pile since it is mixed
with manure and this might
be the most economical method
of getting a start.
Cautions: 1. Plant before
October 20.
2. Do not fail to inoculate.
3. Do not fail to mix with
manure.
4. Do not fail to phosphate.
5.Plant on established sod.
TELEPHONE USER NUMBER ONE
Our Number One job now is to put
calls through fast for the men who
must fight this war.
Our Number One problem is that
metals for more telephone lines to
carry the flood of wartime calls now
must go into arms for fighting men.
Your long distance calls to many
near-by towns still are easy to handle.
But to faraway points or war centers,
please help clear the way for war
calls by making fewer calls and keep-
ing them short as possible.
We know you want us to give war
calls first call.

poses are taken permanently out of

War is making similar demands
upon the products of the farm. In-
creased production is urgently de-
manded. and surpluses will doubt-
less be used up.
