Farmers of the nation have

re is being mobilized every-
tere to help the war with food
FOod is an important weapon
a total war and the record
ap produced last year on
lerican farms represents a
ijor victory for the United
itfons.
CWling on farmers for unpre-
lented production in 1943,
esident Roosevelt has said
it food already sent to the
3pie of North Africa is saving
energies and the lives of
lerican troops there. Similarly
over the world food from
country’s farms is helping
United Nations toward vic-
ry.

ties also to the men and wo-

ad to raise instead of
ential surplus crops,

ines and guns, and their grain

The farmers also are vital

earn the friendship of peo-
in liberated areas and to
rye as a promise and an en-
ted the danger of a squeeze on
hog production, thus checking
the danger of an upward break-
through on meat prices.
Inasmuch as pork require-
ments are the greatest on rec-
ord, the upward pressure on
corn prices already had caused
them to pass parity. The price
control action benefitted the
consumers in addition to the
producers.
A sore spot in the retail dis-
tribution of pork also was re-
lieved when the OPA completely
revised pricing methods for the
slaughtered animal without in-
creases to the consumer.

To help agriculture toward
the 1943 goals, the War Produc-
tion Board approved an increase
in the production of repair
parts for farm machinery and
equipment.
The WPB and the Department
of Agriculture also reached an
agreement to streamline their
relationships so that the food
program can benefit. In general,
the USDA will exercise full re-
; sponsibility and control over the
production and distribution of
fo3d, while the WPB will exer-
cise similar authority over ma-
terials other than food and
other facilities.
Kted to raise instead of During the week, the OPA
^^ential surplus crops, brought under price control for
p long staple cotton will go the first time ree(js USed for
poultry and livestock. Not only
will this benefit poultry and
livestock raisers, but the step
was an important move towards
lessening the pressure against
price ceilings on such vital cost-
of-living items as milk, butter,
cheese, eggs, and many meats.
________ Effective January 23, the new
ragement to the people who | mixed feed ceilings will apply

IT’s record production, it is j tail levels. For producers, ceil-
ing to take a lot more to win jngs are established on present
costs plus the individual pro-
ducer’s historical markup. For
wholesalers and retailers, ceil-
ings are determined by the ad-
final victory and win the
Bee that will follow.
As President Roosevelt said,

rery essential farm product; jdition of specified dollar mark-
must divide our supplies Ups to list prices.
['wisely, and use them carefully.
[We cannot afford to waste our
oducts or our agricultural en-
fergies; we must use both where
ey will do the most good.

Emphasizing^ all of these facts,
Home Front developments in the
last week centered around ag-
riculture and agricultural prod-

Ants and Bees give one hundred percent of
their time, Income, activity, instinct, to the
sustaining of optimum conditions of existence
and the actual betterment of their fellow Ants
and Bees. The parents of almost all Wild Animals
hold back nothing which will aid the health and
successful attainment of the freedom of life of
their families and young. Even an Amoeba divides
itself In half non and then to help the race of
Amoebas.
We are asked for a minimum of only ten percent j
of our Income to purchase War Bonds. Who wants to
be less than an Amoeba or an Ant?

In the Southwestern OPA re-
gion, including the states of
Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana,
the recent region-wide milk
price order is important to ag-
riculture. The order, setting
specific monetary ceilings at
wholesale and retail for milk in
every community of the region,
was intended to restore the bal-
ance of milk distribution and
in many areas to restore mar-
ket balance that would allow
price adjustments to producers.

“Sausages for breakfast! Sau-
sages for breakfast! I can smell
’em!” Small Joe came tumbling
downstairs fastening the belt of his
shorts as he came. He made a bee-
line for the kitchen. Pop was al-
ready sitting at the table, reading
the paper, while Mom held the han-
dle of the frying-pan over the stove.
Small Joe came close and sniffed
the delicious smoke, wriggling all
over with early-morning joy.
‘‘Better be thankful for them while
you can still get them.” One glance
at Mom’s face told small Joe this
was one of her tight-lipped days.
“Not a drop of coffee in the house,
and no sugar left to put in it if there
was. Some war!” Small Joe kept
still.
“Letter for you, son,” Pop said in
his quiet voice. Small Joe made a
leap for his place at table. There
it was, a private personal letter for
him alone, propped against his milk
glass.
“Hey, Pop! It’s from brother!”
Small Joe was pulling the envelope
apart and diving
into the contents.
“Hey, look what
he sent me.” He
passed over an
oblong of thick,
crinkly paper
while he leaned
over the sheet of
writing-paper.

is a good idea for one person
to keep the family accounts,
but the plans for spending and
saving should be made by the
group as a whole.
Here are some questions the
family might consider at its
first of the year conference:
How many dollars are we going
to save this year than last year?
How much of these savings shall
we put into war bonds? How
soon can we pay off our debts:
What are the essential things
we must buy this year for the
j health of the family? What
{products can we grow or make
lat home? What should be the

Softwood Lumber
Order Revised
Revised and simplification
WPB,s conservation order con-'
trolling market and distribution,
of softwood lumber takes into
account the urgent need of far-
mers for lumber to repair ahd
maintain farm buildings by'&s-
signing a preference rating of
AA-1 to lumber for these pur-
poses. The revised order also
eliminates the previous 6-day
limitation on inventories of lum-
ber yards. This action will be
of great aid to lumber yards in
rural communities. Replacements
in inventory also is permitted
of all lumber deliveries after
January 12, regardless of
preference rating under whic
the lumber is sold.

Mom turned and looked at it over
Pop’s shoulder, with the frying-pan
in her hand.
“Listen what he says. ‘How are
you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up
so you can help me slap the Japs.
Aren’t you most big enough to get
into the Army? Here’s something
for you in your name. Let’s the
whole family gang up and help to
win this war.’ ”
Pop and Mom were silent. But
small Joe didn’t notice that. He
was full of his letter and his War
Bond.
“Gee, Pop, in six years I could
get into the Army, couldn’t I, Pop?
Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier
like brother and fight in this war.
Gee, .isn’t that bond nifty? Look, it
was issued in Honolulu. It’s mine.”
But Pop was looking at Mom and
Mom was looking at Pop. There
were tears in Mom’s eyes. She j
shook. rher head sharply. Pop
reached out and patted her hand
gently.
“Well, can’t let our soldier boy
beat us to buying War Bonds, can
we, old lady?” was all he said.
She shook her head again. “I
guess if he can give up his job and
. . . and go off to war I can do some
fighting back at home,” she said
in a queer voice. Small Joe looked
up at her in surprise. She saw him
looking at her and spoke sharply.
“Well, Joe. We’re about ready to
eat. Say grace.”
Small Joe folded his hands and
bent his head as he had been taught.
“Oh Lord, we thank thee for this
food and all thy bountiful gifts . . .”
“Amen,” Pop said.
“Amen,” Mom said. “Now eat
your good sausages.”

Don't listen to people Who say-“They can't need scrap very
badly. Look at that junk yard, or the auto graveyards -
they've got plenty of scrap. And remember the last time
we had a drive the stuff sat around for weeks.” Teii such
people these true facts...
2S
Pack your scrap metal in
your old scrap bag and pile,
pile, pile.
-o-
Swing and sway the Scrap
ij Metal Way.
✓"'vF course the junk yards are full.
KJ They are "factories” that turn
out finished scrap—sorted, broken
up, and bundled . . . ready for the
mills of America. The scrap has to
go through these yards, and it keeps
going through fast!
The auto graveyards too, are busy.
They specialize in used car parts, but
produce plenty of scrap as well.
Jn June alone, these yards moved
•% 5 0,000 tons—for they are required
*o junk within 60 days as many cars
m they buy.
As for Salvage Depots—communi-
ties all over the country are staging
drives. All this scrap can’t be taken
away at once. The junkies can’t
handle it and the mills can’t store it.
But every pound is needed and will
be used. We’ve got to pile it up ready
for instant use at any time.
The day when all junk yards are
empty, when the auto graveyards are
cleaned out, when all the local scrap
stockpiles are gone—that is the day
to dread. It is a day to avoid at all costs.
So remember—steel is needed to
fight the war, and millions of lives
depend on it. This steel is made ol
50% scrap—and the mills have noi
enough scrap to last even 30 days
longer. Don’t fail to do your paqt in
this emergency.
