Change Machinery
Rationing Program
All (arm implements and equip
ment, including attachments, having
a retail value of $25 or less have been
removed from Class B under an
amendment to the (arm machinery
rationing order, and may be sold
without restrictions, according to in
formation received by the State
USDA War Board, with headquar
ters at State College.
The new amendment, which be
came effective October 1, also re
moved hay presses from Class B,
making clear that hay presses come
under the classification of hay bal
ers and'are in Class A.
Providing a retail price classifica
tion for smaller and less scarce ar
ticles, it was explained, will save
farmers the necessity of making cer
tification of need to declare when
purchasing these items.
The farm machinery rationing or
der became effective September 17,
and placed all farm machinery and
equipment in three general classifi
cations. Those articles in Class A may
be sold only upon presentation of a
certificate from the county farm ma
chinery rationing board; those in
Class B may be sold upon certifica
tion by the fanner to the dealer that
the item is essential to production;
and those in Class C may be sold
without restriction.

Winter Legume Seed Move from West Coast to South
With a shortage of nitrogen
fertilizers resulting from the
war, Southern farmers more and
more are turning to winter le
gumes, which not only return
nitrogen to the soil but also pro
toct the land from winter winds
and rains. West Coast farmers
produce most of this seed. This
year they produced about 220
million pounds?enough to plant
7 million acres. It takes 2,000
freight cars to ship this amount
of seed. The upper left-hand

and are ready for shipment.

MACHINERY RATIONING
BOARDS TO BE SET VP
County committees to handle the
temporary rationing of new farm ma
chinery and equipment prior to No
vember I, 1942, will be set up im
mediately in accordance with a di
rective issued by Secretary of Agri
culture Claude It. Wickard, accord
ing to G. T. Scott, chairman of the
State USDA War Board, with head
quarters at State College.
Under orders of the Office of Price
Administration, the Department of
Agriculture was charged with the
responsibility of administering the
rationing program through the State
USDA War Boards.
County rationing committees, Scott
said, will be composed of the chair
man of the County AAA committee,
who will serve as chairman of the ra
tioning body, and two representative
farmers to be appointed by the
County USDA War Board. Two al
ternates also will be named.
The order "freezing" all farm ma
chinery in the hands of dealers was
described by Scott as "necessary to
insure fair distribution of available
equipment and its placement where
it will do the most good in wartime
farm production."
Under the rationing plan, farm
machinery in one classification
(Group A), which is scarce and es
pecially needed to meet current agri
cultural needs, may be sold only on
approval by the county rationing
committee. Machinery in a second
classification (Group B), including
items somewhat less scarce, may be
sold upon certification by the farmer
to the dealer that it is required to
meet current agricultural needs. A
third classification (Group C) in
cludes smaller items which may be
sold without restriction, Scott said.
There were no restrictions placed
on sale of used farm machinery,
equipment or repair parts.

Government Curtaili Vie
Of Nitrogen In Fertilizers
The Government, because of the
importance of nitrogen in the man
ufacture of munitions, has found it
necessary to curtail the use of this
material in fertilizers. Therefore, it
has rifled that no mixed fertilizer
containing chemical nitrogen can be
sold for use at plantng on fall sown
small grains in 1842 to be harvested
for grain. The order also prohibits
the sale of such fertilizer for use on
lawns, golf courses, parks, cemeter

plantings of trees, shrubs and flow
