Set Aside 10 Per
Cent Pork Order
for Government
I In quick succession the IL S.
Department of Agriculture re
inotuted set-aside of federally-
inspected pork to help assure
procurement of food for meet-
ing critical needs abroad, and
then increased the amount first
designated. At the same time
the set-aside 0f lard required
of federally-inspected packers
was increased from three and
one-half per cent of the live
weight of hogs to five per
cent.
The original order, effective
February 10, required feder-
ally-inspected meat packers to
set aside for government pur-
chase seven and one-half per
cent of the live weight of
hogs slaughtered weekly. This
order was quickly amended1 in-
creasing the sot-aside to 10 per
cent beginning February 17.
No set-aside provisions on pork
and pork products ht!d been in
efect since September 2, 1945.
According to a statement
from the Production and 'Mar-
keting- Administration received
by the A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service, the set-aside
applies to 37 states, including
Texas. Ten southern states, in-
cluding ^Louisiana, along with
West Virginia, were exempted
becifse production ,of pork
and lard in federally-inspected
■plants is small in those states.
It was considered necessary, the
statement said, to exempt such
'fedemHy-inspeoilUid packers to
providp an equitable distribution
of pork and lard to consumers
in the 11 states.
The options, which took the
form of amendments to War
Food Order 75.3, were design-
td to assist measures asked by
the President on February 6
to meet urgent foreign needs,
by helping fulfil allocations of
meat and lard for exports and
shipments in the first quarter
of 1946. It was explained that
it is explained thrjt it is the
policy of the department to
make heaviest purchases of
pork and lard during the per-
iod of heavy production. Mar-
keting of hogs_ currently is at
peak.
WHAT OTHER
EDS ARE
THINKING
The Taxpayer Pay* and Payi
(Lamar County Echo)
The, House committee consid-
ering the Vinson, bill which
would provide funds for finan-
cing a "retirement plan" for
Congressmen, contends that
benefits contemplated in the
proposal are not "pensions" but
that the money, in reality, will
be paid by the lawmakers' vol-
untary participation in the plan.
Maybe so; but a lot of us can't
understand why the taxpayers'
money should be involved. If it
is just a simple matter of a
Congressman laying away a
part of his salary each month
• to "tide him over" during old
age, why not let hini put His
money in a savings account? Or,
he might want to buy endow-
ment insurance—ef so, there
arP many insurance companies
offering this plan. Frankly, it
looks like just another raid on
the treasury, such as the $2&0iD
annual tax-exempt "expense"
pay jboost Reprqsentatfves vot-
ed themselves last spring which
is nothing more than a 25 per
cent salary increase.

Demonstration
Agent Great Aid
To Women
More than one and one-third
million farm and ranch families
in Texas received assistance
from home demonstration work
in 1945, according to Mi^s Mau-
rine /fleam, vice director for
women and state home demon-
stration agent, of the Texas
A. and M. College Extension
Service.
Better plans and better meth-
ods brought tangible results in
all phases of homemaking, re-
ports Miss Hcam. Victory gar-
dens reached a million in num-
ber. Seventy-five thousand
families purchased $2601*100
worth of food in pooled orders,
either preserving it or eating ft
frrjfi. Koarly 3fO,0flO,OOO
pounds of food wrp preserved
during the year.
A greater number of farm
and ranch families produced an
abundant home supply of high
quality milk, butter, and cheese
than in 1944. Meal planning,
food preparation and cookery
was improved by 140,000 fami-
lies.
Texas families akio became
better eaters. The percentage
complying, with the Texas food
standard goals for better nu-
trition increased In every tjypo
of food.
Clothing work on new or re-
modeled clothes was valued at
about one and a half million
dollars in 4-H and home dem-
onstration clubs
Better sanitary conditions,
improved household equipment
and conveniences, better organ-
ized kitchensi, more attractive
interiors and well-planted ex-
teriors resulted from work in
hoime improvement.
The intangible results cannot
be tabulated easily, says Miss
Hearr>. But a definite part o'
the county home demonstration
agent's work was personal con-
ferences on problems ranging
from prenatal care to old age'

Rodent Control
To FightTyphus
Urged In Texas
Inasmuch as typhus fever is,
even this early in the year,
showing an increased incidence
over the State, Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer, to-
iduy issued an urgent appeel to
every Texan to cooperate in
rodent control measures.
"The conquest of typhus
fever in Texas is far from com-
plete," Dr. Cox declared.
"There is still entirely too
much of this disabling disease.
"Concentrated effort and
close cooperation fi;om every
citizen of Texas is urgently
needed it" typhus fevar is to be
brought definitely under con-
trol," Dr. Cox continued, "and
thig certainly must be done
our public health in Texas
to be protected."
Inasmuch as typhus is spread
by the flea which feeds on ty-
phus infected rats, control meas-
ures ^according to Dr. Cox, de
pend on rat extermination
through means of starving out
nnd building out rats as well as
trapping and poisininjg them. He
stated that regardless of what
a fine gwbigw collection and
disposal system a community
maintains, it is* practically
worthless in rodent control un-
less garbage is put into (and
not beside) a garbage pail and
the pail kept covered at all
times. ! "
Rat-proofing of all homes and
buf-'ness houses should be un-
do taken a* quickly as possible

Local G rig on Redbud
Committee at Denton
Special Week
Denton, Texas, March 8.—
Misses Patti McDaniel and Nan-
cy Cfflcy, of Denison have been
appointed to assist in plans for
Self Development Week at Tex-
as State College for Women,
March 11-10. They will help
with a week's activities, includ-
ing lectures, clinics on groom-
ing, posture, and family living,
and ending with a Redbud Fes-
tival on March 16. As a climax
a Queen, selected from among
100 Redbud princesses, will be
honored with an elaborate pro-
gram and coronation ball.
Miss McDaniel is the daugh-
ter of Mr. B. McDaniel, 1115
Gandy, and Miss Casey is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
Casey, 1312 S. Fannin.
Forty parr oris can stand in-
side the head of the Statue of
Liberty.
and the local health departments
are usually able to assist in
overcoming the obstacle of ob-
taining materials and labor.
They can also assist in trapping
and poisoning campaigns and
will gladly do so upon request.
Good pastures make full milk
pails when needed most
mim
W
Hills and valleys are mighty handy
things to have around if you are
planning a beautiful landscape, but
the ups and downs in yearly milk pro-
duction can cause headaches.
All the reports I've had lately seem
to indicate that we're going to need a
lot of milk in 1946, maybe even more
than in 1945. The biggest part of get-
ting this job done is to fill in the
"valleys" in milk production to cre-
ate a more even flow through the year.
The best way I know to prevent
those summer and fall drops in milk
production is by a better pasture pro-
gram, use of supplementary grazing

in summer and fall. The beauty of
that kind of a program is that it is
inexpensive and pays you back in
milk dollars much more than you put
into it in the way of seed and ferti-
lizer dollars.
Lime, nitrates, phosphate and
potash applied in early spring on your
native pasture will build up the grass
and prolong the time when you can
get good, milk-producing pasturage
from it. I suggest you get your fertili-
zers ordered and delivered as soon
as possible.
Sudan grass is the best and quick-
est crop I know of to do a real job in
July and August when hot weather
has taken the native pastures down.
Planted up to June first, this grass
can bring you as much as a 25%
increase in milk production over the
volume you would get if you kept
your cows on native pastures through
the summer. And if you have more
than you need for pasture, it makes
good hay when cut at the right time.
For late fall, the old standbys—rye
and barley—are tops. Plant these
two in August, turn your cows into
them a few weeks later and watch
your milk cans fill up. Sudan gras9,
rye and barley need fertilizing too if
you are to get the most out of them
All the forecasts predict a good
demand for dairy products continuing
through the year. America needs the
milk, and it looks like an opportunity
for dairymen to build their bank bal-
ances by holding milk production to
high levels.
i
I
Another big reason for getting fertili-
zer ordered and applied and for ex-
tending your pasture program, is the
fact that there is a rather critical
shortage of protein feeds.
High-protein feeds arc in a class
with sugar and a very few other items
—they are on the ration list. This
means you cannot rely on good sup-
plement feeds to hold milk production
up to required levels.
The minerals and protein which
/our cows need to keep their bodies
in good condition and to produce
more milk will have to come right out
of your own soil.
Your cows can't get phosphate, pot-
ash, calcium and minerals out of your
grass, hay or grain if those elements
are not in the soil.
Soils men tell us our land has been
"mined" in years past and the fer-
tility is being removed at a rather
rapid rate. It* is more than ever
important this year that you give
back to the soil the things your crops
take out of it.
Fertilizers will be more plentiful
this year than last, but demand is
going to be up, too. Better get your
supply ordered as soon as you can.
One of the most outlandish sights I've
ever seen was a few years ago when I
witnessed a great big, bright and
shiny limousine being towed into
town by about as sorry a looking,
bony mule that ever hit the country.
Somehow or other I'm reminded of
this when I see a battered up milk
can being used to hold the world's
best food. We've had to hold on to
old cans during the war, but new
ones are back on the market now.
You can help your quality program
by replacing doubtful cans. The
cracks in battered cans make nice
rooming
houses for
bactcria.
