Mr. Reynolds,stated “We realize

We must bear in mind, however;
that the production of new equip-

Austin —In the nation’s all-out
food production drive .there is a
great danger of de-vitalized soil
that will have serious consequenc-
es in a -few years unless a well-
rounded soil conservation program
is, carried along with expanding
crops, a University of Texas soil
bacterioligist cautions.
Dr. "Marie B. Morrow, Universi-
ty assistant .professor of botany
and bacteriology, has for several
years been making extensive soil
fungi and plant studies for the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
She points to the fact that
chemicals used in fertilizers, fun-
gicides and insecticides are vital
in war industries, and the demand
is creating a shortage for agri-
cultural purposes. ’ •
“This shortage is being felt,.al-
ready and promises to become
more acute unless efforts are
made on an extensive scale to.
provide substitutes,” she declared.
“In the meantime, the increased
production, of crops is proving an
extra drain on the soil, and seri-
i ous depletion is imminent.”
To overcome this difficulty, DrT
Morrow urged thoughtful crop
planning and rotation.
“As a nation we ought to give
this problem serious attention,]
and work out a national soil con-
servation program to go hand in
hand with our war production
crops,” she advises, i
-----4;- | .
“Ration coupon banking,” a
new type of banking service for
retailers and wholesalers of . ra-
tioned commodities, designed to
make the nation’s ration program
work moye effectively, will be in-
augurated in Bowie on January
27, it is announced by the First
National Bpnk of Bowie.
This is a war service that the
] government has asked the banks
to undertake under which whole-
salers and the larger retailers will
be required by the Office of Price
Administration to dpen “ration
bank accounts” in., the banks with
which they customarily do busi-
ness. Into the’se “ration accounts”
the wholesalers and retailers will
deposit. the ration coupons re-
ceived from their customers
against . which they will draw
special “ration checks” when ord-
ering new supplies. It is expect-
ed that only the retailers whose
food sales in December, 1942 ex-
ceeded $5,000 will be direpted by
the Office of Price Administration
to open “ration accounts.” No
charges of any kind will be madp|of the 1(MJal War Price ami
by. the banks for this service.
Consumers- such as housewives,
motorists, and other individuals
who purchase rationed conyivodi-
ties. for consumption will not be
'affected by. the new “ration cou-
pon banking” system, , They will
continue to obtain their ration
coUjpuns. fcom local ration boards
and they will continue to “spetur'
;their coupons at the stores just
as Daw- have BetTiV doing TiL the
(last,„ Only certain dealers selling
rationed commodities will have to
open “ration, bank accounts.”
The. -hanks will have nothing to
do with5 the fixing of ration dliot-
-ments or allowances, of. wttn the
Issuing, of ration coupons. The
local ration: boards Will .'continue
to perform these functions.
The new “ration banking” sys-
tem will not affect the regular
money or check accounts of the
public at all. The public will con-
tinue te use their bank accounts
in. the customary way,
, The “ration bank accounts” will
■be new .accounts fpr the handling
of ration coupons only and will
be entirely separate from "all oth-
er accounts in the banks.'’ By de-
positing coupons in their “ration
bunk accounts” retailers and
wholesalers will build up credits
or balances of pounds, gallons, or
points in the various rationed
commodities. Against these Bal-
ances they will draw special “ra-
tion checks” payable to their sup-
pliers When they order new stocks
or supplies to sell to the public.
These “ration checks” will have
nothing to do with the ..payment
for the commodities ordered. Re-

Effective today, a revision in
the ceiling price of fluid sweet
milk for Montague County has
been ordered in a new regulation
issued by the Southwest regional
Ol’A office, M. PosSy, eha.rmun
Ra-
tioning Bojird, announces.
The ceiling price revision in
Montague County is part of a
regionwide program designed to
restore balance in the supply of
milk to different commutut.es and
for different uses. The order
hikes, prices in a mojority of the
areas, but maintains present lev-
els in some while reducing price.-
in a few areas.
Ceiling prices established by tin
regulation for Montague , County
are as follows:
Wholesale: gallon 40c; li gal-
lon 21c; quart lOIae; pine 5‘iv;
4-3-quart 3 2-3c; L pint 3;
Retail: gallon 44c; ‘ li" gallon
23c; quart 12c; pint tic,'.
Culminating two month's work,
regional OPA officials, in Dallas
ordered the new price revision to
replace the General Maximum
Price Regulation which, set the
ceiling price of milk f<. r retailers-
and wholesalers at tl e highest
price each individual seller charg-
ed in March, 1942. There is no
ceiling at the producer level.
Mr. Posey pointeu out that the
freezing of prices at the March
highest level, in many instance.-,

ri“to
with a high ceiling and also caus-
ed diversion of milk from normal
consumption channels to manufac-
turing' channels.
The new regulation, Mr. Posey
explained, only sets a maximum
price .Which can be charged for
milk in this county—wholesalers
and retailers can sell at any price
below the ceiling. Petitions for
adjustments can be made to the.
Office of Price Administration at
Dallas, Mr. Posey said.
Under the maximum price reg-
ulation which revises the ceiling
prices for milk, every county,
parish, city and town in Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas, ‘ Oklahoma,
Missouri and Kansas are pi act'd' ip
