New OPA Ceilings
Cut Vegetable Prices
The office of price administra-
tion, announcing a range of re-
tail price ceilings for 13 fresh
vegetables, acted to reduce the
cost of these food items as
much as 30 and 50 per cent.
The move is intended to pre-
vent a repetition of zooming pri-
ces which last winter contributed
heavily to boosting living costs.
The 13 foods brought under
control are lima beans, snap

Fayette County
Farmers Have
Responded To In-
creased Production
In War Effort
Fayette county is making a
strong bid for the A award the
government is giving to the five
counties in Texas for the most
increase in production for the
war effort in 1943, according
to Kenny L. Stork, chairman of
the county war board.
Records of Fayette county's
increased production were com-
piled recently by the war board,
and reflect substantial gains in
almost every agricultural depart-
ment.
Here are the increases made
by some 4800 farm units in the
county: •
"Our peanut goal was 4800
acres; we planted 5800 or 1000
acres in excess. Grain sorghums,
10,000-acre goal, 17,000 acres
planted; sweet potatoes, 300-acre
goal, 475 acres planted.
"In poultry, our goal was
700,000 laying hens and pullets
and we have 900,000; broilers and
fryers, 420,000 goal, we have
840,000; turkeys, goal 102,214,
we have 143,350, and the 12
hatcheries in the county put our
3,297,084 chicks or more than
825,000 above the goal.
Ceilings for additional vege-
tables are being prepared , OPA
said. Those to come under con-
trol next will be beets, aspara-
gus, watermelons, canteloupes,
and the 1944 onion crop.
Pricing for the first 13 vege-
tables will be seasonal, it was
explained, rising and falling from
month to month as they did
prior to price control.
The range of retail prices to
be fixed (depending on distance
from shipping point,) per pound
vnless otherwise noted, together
with pre-control prices (in pa-
renthesis) follow:
Lima beans, December through
April, 18 to 21 cents; May
through Oct. 13 to 16 cents (the
new prices will be 10 to 30 per
cent under 1943 prices.)
Snap beans, May and June, 14
to 16 cents; July and August,
12 to 15 cents; September
tnrough December, 14 to 17
cents; (the new prices will be

Cabbage, December through
April, 6 to 7 cents; May through

18 to 20 cents a pound.)

9 to 12 cents; July through
September, 8 to 10 cents; (new
prices 50 to 70 per cent under

"Our home canning shows a
100 per cent increase with an
average of 400 containers per
farm family. To make these goals
we shifted land that had been
devoted to non-essential crops to
essential ones," Mr. Stork said.
Some other interesting facts
about Fayette county:
The acreage of winter cover
crops seeded with phosphate will
be increased more than 200 per
cent. In the fall and spring of
1942-1943, 12,600 acres were
fertilized with phosphate and
10,400 acres with barn yard man-
ure.
Better care and management
of dairy herds has brought seven
dairies in the grade A classifica-
tion, more than double the 1942
figure. There are 27 sawmiils
which this year will produce ap-|
Butter Scoring
Required
New government regulations
requiring that country butter be
sold according to grade may in-
convenience farm homemakers at
first, but it should lead eventual-
ly to the marketing of a higher
quality product.
Myrtle Murray, specialist in
home industries for the A. and
M. College Extension Service,
explains that the same grades
which apply to creamery butter
apply to country butter. These
U. S. grades are AA or U. S.
Score 93, A or U. S. Score 92,
B or C. S. Score 90, C or U. S.
Score 89. Butter scoring less
than 89 is known as cooking
grade or "no grade" butter.
Butter is scored and graded
according to flavor, texture, color,
salt and body, the specialist says.
County Extension agents have
butter score cards and can give
farm families additional infor-
mation about producing a high
quality product and preparing it
for market.
Producers may score their own
Gutter or they may get otheis
to grade it, but in any event the
producer is wholly responsible
lor his butter meeting the score
given it, Miss Murray says. It
is not necessary that the grade
t e stamped on the wrapping, but
each container should show the
weight and the name and address
of the producer.
Practically no farm families
sell more than 1,000 pounds in
a single calendar month, so they
do not receive a subsidy on but-
ter they produce.
If a producer's butter is con-
sistently scored above 90, it may
be approved as "standardized"
by the Extension Service, and
the producer may sell it in 4-H
cartons. Information about stand-
ardizing" may be obtained from
county home demonstration
agents. 4-H cartons long have
1 een recognized by Texas con-
sumers as a sign of high quality.

rup mills in Fayette county will
produce 45,600 gallons of syrup,
ar. increase of 100 per cent.
The public schools of Fayette
county sponsored four farm ma-
chinery shops where farmers re-
paired 25 per cent more of their
farm machinery and due to cot
operation of the farmers, very
little labor shortage was ex-
perienced this year.
In the scrap drive, Fayette
county produced 1190 tons of
iron and metal, 33 tons of rub-
ier, 12,000 cubic feet of tin
cans and 2300 pounds of waste
fats to date.
The county records show thar,
1125 farm boys and men have
gone to the armed forces through
the selective service besides those
who volunteered.
The county expects to produce
at least 16,000 bales of cotton
this year and in the second vic-
tory bond drive the county had
a quota of $448,00 and sold
*456,000 or $8000 above the goa'
