Air forces heavy bombers based in India and China continued destructive raids against the Japan ese The Navy announced the sink ing of seven United Nations Mer chantmen by enemy submarines, the lowest Weekly number of such sink ings announced in the past sixteen weeks. Rationing Sugar ration stamp number 8 will be good for five pounds of sugar in the ten-week period beginning Au gust 23 and ending October 31, the .Office of Price Administration an nounced While not changing the basic ration of one-half pound per person per week, it will enable con sumers to make purchases in larger units and facilitate the disposal of 5. 10 and 25-pound packages. Price Administrator Henderson and Petroleum Coordinator Ickas an nounced jointly that fuel oil ration ing on the East Coast may be un avoidable next winter. All Eastern motorists were told by the OPA'to display thexr gasoline rationing stick ers immediately, because "It is il legal for any service station attend ant to sell gasoline to a vehicle un less the sticker corresponding to the type of book is conspicuously displayed on the car." The rationing regulations for new passenger auto mobiles were amended to make members of the U. S. armed forces eligible to purchase new cars upon proof that a car is needed for trans post of duty or on official military portation between residence and business where no military vehicle is available. Farm Prices ?Livestock price ceilings would re quire very complicated controls of marketing conditions, even to in spection at individual farms, Agri culture Secretary Wickard said. Such ceilings would benefit small pack ers. lie stated, but would not in crease supplies If it becomes neces sary. however, the Department of Agriculture will assist in working out a ceiling program, he said. Mr Wickard reported the available meat supply, after deduction of Lend Lease and Military requirements, would furnish four pounds more meat per person between now and June 1943 than the average per cap ita consumption from July 1931 through July 1940 The Agriculture Department -estimated the number of cattle on feed for market in the corn.beIt states on August 1 had dropped 19 per cent from the com parable figure a year ago. apparent ly because imposition of ceilings on beef prices caused feeders to deviate from their, plans as reported in April this year. Secretary Wickard said the corn supply is being used faster than corn is being produced, and next year, "unless we feed more wheat than usual." over 200 million more bush els of corn will be used than is be ing raised this year. There are still large stocks, however, in the nation al granary, he said Stabilization of Wages The National War Labor Board granted an increase of 7 1-2 cents an hour to 61,000 workers in 40 New England and 11 Southern textile mills The Board denied any wage increase, however, to 32.000 employ ees in 10 plants of the Aluminum Company of America and 900 work ers in the Buffalo- New York plant of the American Magnesium Com pany because these workers "had received average hourly rate in creases sufficient to compensate for the 15 per cent rise in the cost of liv ing which had occurred between January 1. 1941. and May. 1942 " The Navy, acting under orders from President Roosevelt, took over the strike-bound plant of the General Cable. Company in Bayonne, N J The strike occurred at the plant, working exclusively on production of war materials, after the NWLB had refused a request for a general wage increase. The Armed Forces The Army announced an intensive recruiting campaign to enlist 100.000 skilled mechanics and technicians for service in the Army Air Forces, the Signal Corps and the Ordnance Department.

Livestock Farmers ^ arned of Poisons Johnson grass and Sudan grass are two of the best pasture plants for late-July and early August graz ing, says Dr. A. O. Shaw, head of the State College Animal Industry De partment. Yet, scores of North Car olina farmers will not allow either of the plants to be seeded on their farms. Two of the principal reasons why farmers hesitate to grow these ex cellent pasture grasses are: Fear that the grasses will spread into their row crops, and, second, the knowl edge that Johnson grass and Sudan grass are poisonous to livestock un der certain conditions. "It is true." said Dr. Shaw, "that Johnson grass, the sorphums, and Sudan grass contain varying amounts of prussic acid. Rut the normal growth of the plant must be check ed by drouth, frost, trampling or wilting to free the prussic acid in sufficient quantity to kill livestock. Most of the cases of livestock lo?CQ from this cause have been confined to the western plain states, where long protracted droughts are com mon. Few cases have been reported in the South." The State College animal husband man further explained that the pois onous property is usually destroyed when Johnson grass and Sudan grass are thoroughly cured as hay or dry fodder. When these plants have been made into silage, they are entirely safe. TTie livestock man said that the advantages of Johnson grass and Su dan grass many times overbalance their disadvantages. ^ rite Letters To Bovs Yon Know In The Armed Service (Continued from page one) owing names are taken from its nailing list, the paper agreeing to orward to them any letter left at its ffice for proper address: W.
