NOTES .
The one price system tor all pea-
nuts announced last week practically
assures production of the 1,300,000
acres Texas farmers are being asked
to produce under this year’s Food
for Freedom program.
Peanuts, whether grown for the
edible trade or for oil. will be sup-
ported at 86 per cent of the present
parity price, B. F. Vance, chairman.
Texas USDA War Board, said in
making the announcement.
Under present prices, the average
would bring 128.85 per ton for No. I
peanuts, he said, but added that the
price would be Increased If parity ad-
vances between now and July 16.
In addition to 85 percent of parity
support prices, previously announced
Incentive payment# will add between
910 and |20 per ton to the average
price, thus bringing the average re-
turn up to 9M0 to $160 per lou for
those growers harvesting for nuts
an acreage 10 'per cent In excess of
the farm goal.
Incentive payments are made at the
rate of 930 per sere on peanuts dug
in excess of 90 per cent and up to
110 percent of the farm peanut goal,
but will vary on a per ton basis for
individual farms, depending on the
yield per acre.
Under the new program. Vunce ex-
plained. there will be no distinction
between marketing quota and oil pea-
nuts as under last year’s program
Plans now are being shaped up
for establishment of local markets In
counties having peanut goals so that
growers may market this year's pea-
nuts by direct sale through oil mills,
shelters or cooperatives.
In areas where oil mills or shelt-
ers do not supply the local markets,
warehouses will be established by
peanut cooperative associations. In
all cases, growers will be paid in
cash at the time of delivery.
To provide adequate seed for -plant-
ing purposes, the Southwestern Pea-
nut Growers’ Association, Gorman,
the designated USDA agency la Tex-
as, already Is establishing local dis-
tribution points. Producers who de-
sire seed for planting this year are
being asked to obtain planting certi-
ficates from their county AAA com-
mittees. Final date for buying need
peanuts is' May 31, 1943.
The cash price to peanut producers
obtaining seed for planting will be
$130 per ton for U. 3. Spanish type
No. 1 fn raters’ stock peanuts and
9166 per ton for Spanish type clean-
Farm Plan Sheets will be carried

ed in this connection:

With crop time almost upon us.
everyone is making final preparations
to pot in and raise the biggest and
best crops he ever has. All this
means preparation of the land in
the best way possible. Some farmers
are even taking in land which hasn’t
been in cultivation for the past sev-
eral years. Since there is usually
much grass on these area. WATCH
YOUR FIRES IF YOU BURN. From
the looks of the smoke rising in Pa-
nola County, a person could easily
think that most of the fires were be-
ing set. The dry weather and high
-winds of the last several weeks have
resulted In several bad fires. DON'T
BURN UNLESS YOU TAKE PRE
CAUTIONS
Notification of s shortage in winter
cover crop seed for the fall of 1943
has been received by T. L. Vincent,
secretary of the Panola County ACA,
due to the freesing of the winter
cover crops in Oregon and Washing-
ton, where our seed come* from.
At the present ttme the local AAA
has on hand about 1000 sacks of
cover crop seed. But with an antici-
pated increased demand for the seed
this fall, every farmer who planted
Hairy Vetch or Austrian Winter Peas
this past fall is urged, to let a por-
tion of his crop mature for seed.
That means, leave an acre to grow
and make seed this spring. This seed
will he made in pods, which -will
most likely be fully developed about
the first of June. At that time, it

ican Aviation’s training planes,
known as “Texans." now is in ser-
vice. J. H. Kindelberger. president
of the aircraft firm, announced this
seek.
Production of more than 10,000
planes of one series, all evolving
from and ^perpetuating the same
basic design, is believed to be a
world's record for aircraft output.
The total includes both complete air-
planes snd equivalent airplanes pro-
duced as spare parts. Mr. Kindelber-
ger explained. The planes are used
by the air forces of 27 United Na-
tions.
Since September 1. 1941, the Tex-
ans have been produced exclusively
by North Amercan's Dallas division,
which delivered Its first three planes
of the trainer series on April 7, 1941.
Before the Dallas plant was opened,
the trainer was built at North Amer-
ican’s California plant at Inglewood.,
“Completion of that ten thousandth
plane was a significant milestone in
the American aviation industry." Mr.
Kindelberger said. “When ten thous-
and airplanes of one basic type can
be built in such a short span of
time, there is reason for sound opti-
mism that American’s aircraft indus-
try can do the unbelievable Job ex-
pected of it to assure the Urited Na-
tions of Airmadas of the size, speed
and striking power necessary to clear
the skies of Axis planes throughout
the world.”

Dip Your Sweet Potatoes

Purpose of the monthly report Is

and also how many trucks, buses.
Mr. W. P. Daniels, representing
the Agriculture Dept, of the State
of Texas will work out of Carthage
for the next thirty days to help the
people dip. and to inspect all sweet
potatoes which are going to be used
to raise slips. This itspeciion also
includes the slips during slip pulling
tlmd.
All farmers who plan to raise
sweet potato slips to sell are urged
to get in tough with Mr. Daniels thru
the AAA office. Any farmer who
plans to raise his own slips would
do sell to dip his also. However, ac-
cording to the State Law, only those
farmers offering slips for public sale
must have their slips inspected, or
their potatoes dipped prior to plant-
ing to raise the slips.
According to Mr. Daniels, a farmer
may sell either “apr roved” or “certi-
fied” slips, depending upon what he
has done. Ail farmers who have done
the following may sell "approved
plants": (11 field Inspection last fall
for stem wilt; (2) Inspection at bed-
ding time for black rot this spring;
(31 Inspection of the bed at plant
pulling time this spring for stem
wilt.
Those farmers who do the follow-
ing may sell "certified plants," field
inspection of the sweet potatoes last
fall for stem wilt, and supervision
of dipping and bedding of seed po-
tatoes at Redding time this spring
for black rot.
Make use of Mr. Daniel's services
and produce more and better potatoes
for Uncle Sam this year.

duction of oil .peanuts may now sell
them to their growers for planting
purposes in 1943 at the prevailing oil
price on the date of sale, plus hand-
ling charges. The seller however must

chaser Indicating approval of the
sale by the county AAA committee.
This phase of the program will begin

USDA War Board, announced this
week. y—-
For that reason, hexplained, farm
ers who plan vcf hog-off peanuts must
plant over lift percent of their farm
goals for Ihis^-pUrpose to earn max-
imum incentive payment*. Each acre
of dug peanuts between 90 and 110
percent of the goal will earn the 930
payment.
Incentive payments will not be
iwid on farm goals of less than
three acres, the chairman said hut
added that farms without peanut
goals, or farms with goals less than
three acres would be eligible for the
930 per acre payment if more than
2.7 acres were dug. In such cases,
payment will be computed as if the
(arm had a three acre goal.
Texas peanut farmers are being
asked to produce 1.300.000 acres, or
one-fifth of the national peanuts
acreage, uuder this year's Food for
