Vegetable Seeds
Allocations

Relations With Axis
College Station. — Civilian
gardeners in the United States,
who plant farm and back lot
plots, will have for their se-1
lection 70.3 per cent of thej
supply of vegetable seeds al-
located for all needs through
June 30, 1944. In bulk, this is
equivalent to 275,232,000
pounds.
According to information to
the Texas A. and M. College
Extension Service from the
War Food Administration
which administers the alloca-
tions, an estimated 391,000,-
000 pounds of seeds are avail-
able this year. Of the quanti-
ty remaining after providing
for civilian needs, 25.3 per
cent, or about 99,000,000
pounds have been placed in a
contingency reserve to meet
emergencies. What is left
goes to allies and liberated
areas, U. S. Territories, Red
Cross, friendly nations, and U.
S. Military and war services.
Although certain accustom-
ed varieties may be missing at
planting time, WFA officials
believe that no domestic gar-
dener will need to be without
enough seed.
It is explained that while
they are not necessarily the
most important, the large or
heavy seeds like peas, beans
and sweet corn account for
fore than 283,000,000 pounds
of the total allocated to civil-
ian needs. The contingent re-
serve will take about 92,000,-
000 pounds of this type, large-
ly seed peas.
Of the small or light seeds,
such as beet, cabbage, carrot,
lettuce and onion, civilians
will receive more than 11
500,000 pounds of the total
supply of approximately 25,-
000,000. Seven million pounds
of the remainder have been
placed in the reserve.

Ensign Ray E. Stanfield
According to a recent dis-
patch from V. S. Naval Air
Station, New Orleans, La„
honor graduates of the Nava!

structors included Ensign Ray

GADGETS FOR
HOME PRESSING
College Station.—There are
several little gadgets which
aid the homemaker in giving
clothes a finished, profession-
al-looking press. Since home
pressing is on a wartime boom
because of the labor shortage,
the clothing specialist of the
Texas A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service, suggests that
homemakers become acquaint-
ed with these handy tools
which can be made easily at
little cost.
One is a sleeve board. It is a
big help for doing sleeves,
shoulders, bias collars, and
various places that are hard
to “get at” with the iron. A
sleeve-board is just a small-
size ironing board that can be
set up on and braced against
your regular board.
For pressing armholes and
lies, Argentina will not re
gard them -as belligerents wh > I 3ther curved seams where a

Axis satellites

cree breaking relations with

A few hours before the new

ance of relations with Ger-
many and Japan Jan. 26, the

German-occupied country ex-
cept France represented in
Argentina — had announced
tat it had cut connections with
the Danish government and
would work for a free Den-
mark.

tapering to two inches at each
end. Stitch the two pieces to-
gether, leaving an opening
large enough to put in a fill-
ing. Now, turn the ham in-
side out, stuff it tight with
sawdust or scraps of cloth,
and sew up the opening. The
ham will press down as it’s
used, so more stuffing may
need to be added from time to
time.
The specialist .suggests a
press roil for shiny seam-
marks on sleeves and skirts.
To make it, all you need is 24
