Can Buy Materials For
Home-mixing of Fertiliser
Dr E R Collins, extension agron
omy leader of N. C. State College,
says that a farmer who home-mixed
fertilizer in 1940-41 and purchased
materials, ineligible to buy the ma
terials for tyime-mixing in 1943. He
said that fertilizer dealers are re
quired to sell materials to such far
mers, since the 1942-43 sales are bas
ed on practices of 1940-41 He sug
gested that efforts to sell mixed fer
tilizers in place of materials should
be reported to the nearest War Pro
duction Board office if the dealer
is acting against the wishes of the
eligible purchaser in insisting on
selling mixed fertilizers.

The 53rd Week
Of The War
Agricalture
An executive order of December 7
gave full control over the nation's
food program to Secretary of Agri
culture Wickard. Mr. Wickard is to
control all phases of the food pro
gram?requirements, production, dis
tribution, priorities and allocations,
purchase and procurement. To per
mit effective use of these control, the
order provided for the procurement
from WPB of farm machinery, sup
plies and equipment necessary to
carry out the program, the power to
order civilian rationing of foods
through OPA, the determination of
policies and procedures for the feed
ing of people in foreign countries,
the issuance of directives relating to
the importation of food, and the is
suance of priority schedules for do
mestic transportation of food.
The functions, personnel, and
property of certain agricultural bur
eaus and divisions concerned pri
marily with the productoin of food
will be consolidated into a Food Pro
duction Administration, with Her
bert W. Parisius, Associate Director
of the Office of Agricultural War
Relations, as director, and the func
tions, personnel and property of cer
tain agricultural bureaus concerned
primarily with the distribution of
food will be consolidated into a Food
Distribution Administration, with
Roy Hendrickson, present AMA Ad
ministrator as director.
Secretary Wickard said prospects
are good for meeting 1943 food re
quirements, but in order to meet
these requirements the U. S. must
use fully and economically its pro
duction facilities and distribution
system and exert economy in the
consumption of foods. Some foods
may be scarce, he said, but "no one
will need to go hungry." The execu-1
tive order will enable the agriculture
department to set up a national "as
sembly line" in the production and
distribution of food vitally needed
to win the war and the peace.
Lend-lease deliveries of American
foodstuffs for shipment to other
United Nations, as reports by the de
partment, increased 93,000,000
pounds during October, bringing the
month's deliveries to 645,000,000
pounds and the total since the pro
gram was started to nearly 8,000,
000,000 pounds. The AMA delivery
report showed increased deliveries
of eggs, dairy products, meats, grains
and other products.
The War Front
President Roosevelt told Congress
that American forces overseas will
number more than 1,000,000 by the
end of this month, and said "The Ax
is powers have, temporarily at least,
lost the initiative." The OWI report
ed that from December 7, 1941 to De
cember 7. 1942, the U. S. armed
forces suffered 58,307 casualties?
37,678 in the Army and 22,629 in the
Navy. Major Gen. A. A. Vander
grift, Maritime Commander, stated
that in the 4-months campaign on
Guadalcanal 7,000 Japanese troops
have been killed and 450 Japanese
planes destroyed, with enemy losses
exceeding U. S. losses by 10 to 1.
During the first year of war (De
cember 7 to December 7) U. S. com
muniques have announced the sink
ing in the Pacific and Far East of 306
Japanese ships and 85 U. S. ships.
The Navy announced the 22,000
ton U. S. President Collidge, trans
porting approximately 4,000 Army
troops, struck a mine in the South
Pacific and sank with a loss of only
four men, and also reported the loss
through enemy action of the U. S. S.
Aichiba, an auxiliary cargo ship.
General MacArthur's headquarters,
announced the complete occupation I
of the Gona area in New Guinea, |
with Allied forces advancing against I
the remaining Japanese forces in
the Buna-Sanananda area. Accord
ing to communiques, at least 95 Jap
anese have been killed and four cap
tured in attempts to escape from
their surrounded positions. On De
cember 6 and 7 U. S. planes destroy
ed 21 Japanese aircraft, 18 of them
in the Buna-Gona area.
tj( Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Com
manding General of the Army Air i
Forces, said that in the air struggle
over Tunisia, American planes and
personnel are for the first time in
this war going up against first class
air power, engaging the best planes i
the Germans possess. If the U. S. can I
continue to destroy the enemy plane '
for plane, we will come out ahead,
he stated, as U. S. production is at
least twice that of the Axis.
Production
WPB Chairman Nelson described
October arms output as "disappoint
ing" as it was up only 3 per cent ov
er September, the smallest monthly
increase this year. He gave the Oc
tober box score for major categories
of war production, airplanes were
down 5 per cent, mainly due to spec
ial factors affecting deliveries, mer
chant vessels were down 10 per cent
but still ahead of schedule, ordnance
was up 3 per cent. Army and Navy

vessels were up 4 per cent, other
munitions were up 9 per cent, and
machine tools were up 8.3 per cent
?a new high for machine tool pro
duction.
Because of the conflicting essen
tiality of many phases of the war
production program, said President
Roosevelt, the final decision as to
what is most needed remains with
the Army and Navy.
Lend-Lease
In the three months ended De
cember 11, Lertd-lease assistance to
the nation's Allies totaled $2,367,
000,000, the President told Congress.
Civilian goods will diminish stead
ily in 1943, and every effort must be
made to insure continued production
of civilian supplies through the con
centration of output in a few plants,
said Joseph L. Weiner, new director
of the Office of Civilian Supply.
