FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 194. 1 REGRET WILL FOLLOW DE NIALS: Now Peter sat without in the palace; and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. Buthe denied be fore them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. Matt. 26:69,70. Better Living Ahead? The national income of the people of the United States, for the first six months of this year, was at the rate of $158,000,000,000 a year. The rate of production was at the $196, 000,000,000 level. The experts tell us that "if war continues" these rates will also con tinue but that "if 'iu:e comes" the rate will depend upon many factors, including how the government hand les conversion and similar problems. It is strange that a great nation, like our own, can tfird itself for a war emergency and produce miraculously. Even the financial system is able to take the war's demands in stride without talk of bankruptcy and fi nancial collapse. What a nation we would have if somehow we could transfer this war unity and activity into the work of peace. Certainly, there is enormous demand for goods, even if some Americans do not have the money to buy what they desire. Maybe the tempo of war will be reduced but not quite to the pre-war ievel. Some way may be discovered to improve our capitalistic regime and to make it entirely feasible for millions of Americans to enjoy a standard of living higher than they have ever imagined would be possible. 9,000,000 Bonds A Month For every $100 worth of War Bonds sold in the second quarter of this year, $22 were cashed in, ac cording to a Treasury report, which says that this rate is far above last year when only $9 per $100 sold were cashed. In 1942, the redemption rate was only $4 per $100 sold. The average American will learn with a shock that between nine mil lion and ten million individual bonds are heing redeemed every month and that the rate is growing. In tne face of this tendency, the Treasury will put into effect next month a plan to "make it easier for individuals to cash in bonds. Everybody knows that some people, under the stress of war bond drives, ove.- exiena ineinselves and buy more bonds than they can afford to hold. Moreover, many industrial plants, where all employees were pledged to the ten per cent per month purchase plan, produced a situation where the redemption of many bonds wae in evitable. Nevertheless, the people of the United States generally should real-' ize the necessity of conidering their purchase of war bonds an investment for the duration of the war at least. This does not mean that an individual facing an unexpected emergency, should not cash a bond. It means that the individual should not cash the bond except as a last resort and of necessity. What redemption means, in the way of additional money to be bor rowed, is seen when we recall that in May, June and July, $754,000,000 worth of bonds were cashed in. This means that $3,000,000,000 worth of bonds must be sold in 1944 to provide the funds with which to pay for bonds redeemed. Fertilizer For Farmers ' The recommendation of the Post-. war Planning Committee of the De-1 partment of Agriculture that f orty ' per cent of the nitrogen producing! capacity of nine Government synthe- tie ammonia plants be devoted to the ' manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer! - and ammonia deserves careful con sideration. ; The Government, according to the news article discussing the sugges-, . tion, has invested $200,000,000 in tne plants hich have a total capacity of 760,000 tons of nitrogen annually. ,- This 'Js more than consumption for '.H "purposes in any pre-war year. j i iTh importance of an abundant i supply of cheap fertilizer cannot be overestimated.

Dad Get New Felt Half The Office of Price Administration considered the problems attendant upon the production of dad's new fe dora and has come up with a solu 4 ion: A new price regulation cover ing Australian and New Zealand rab bit skins and hatters' fur cut from these imported skins, has been is sued by OPA. Recently, sellers of hatters' fur have been forced to cur tail their sales and production be cause of the abnormally high prices in the foreign market for rabbit skins. While the new hatters' fur prices do not lower the general level of hatters' fur prices previously in effect, hat manufacturers will be able to buy raw skins at lower prices or to buy a larger percentage of their requirements of hatters' fur from cutters at the March 1942 level of ceiling prices. j Mine "Ice Box" to Begin Work The first shipments of food to be stored in the Atchison, Kansas, mine converted into a huge cold storage warehouse are ready for moving, the War Food Administra tion reports. The new storehouse is located about two miles from Atchi son and will provide storage space for a wide variety of agricultural products. Tsk! Tsk!

Removal of time limitations that restrict the use of special shoe stamps is announced by OPA. The new provisions apply to all special shoe stamps, except that those issued to Mexican border residents must still be used by consumers within 30 days. Previously, some special shoe stamps, such as those issued as extra rations, had to be used within time limits. The provisions affect only special shoe stamps and in no way involve the validity of regular war ration shoe stamps, either sumer or trade use. for con- Car Reserves Near Vanishing Point There are only 20,(100 new pas senger cars in the country today, OPA announces.

The new September quota farm; retirement of sub-marginal is less than 8 per cent of the Sep- land and reclamation and cultivation tember 1943 quota of 40,600 cars. I of potentially good farm land and OPA Limits Security Deposit ( improvements in the marketing of From now on landlords may not farm products, ask for more than a month's rent in I advance in addition to the security deposit (if any) which may be asked of prospective tenants. In other words a tenant may leave a security the landlord's use to provide for the recovery of such movable objects as keys or ice trays. But over and above that the tenant may not give more than a month's advance pay ment of rent. "The action was taken," OPA said, ,4to prevent use of security deposits as a means of evading rent control." In some cases, the agency said, landlords have been requiring advance pay ment of six months' or even one year's rent. Even where a tenant does occupy rented quarters long enough to use up his prepayment of ; rent, OPA believes that necessity i for making these payments imposes if adequate crops are to be made. : While we hope that an equitable' scheme can be designed to permit some of the Government plants to i produce fertilizer materials, the farmers of the nation must under stand that; when the war ends, our j agricultural problem is going to be, ! once again, crop surpluses which can- not oe uispoaea i in me c iu ieu States. : The real problem of American farmers is not how to produce more abundantly but how to find markets for the enormous yields that our farmers annually harvest. The only solution is to be found in, adequate foreign markets. These cannot , be available unless the United States is ready .to accept" some of the roods of foreign countries in payment for farm products sold to. them. , ' burden on the Dry Cell Battery Production Grows Progress by the dry cell battery industry in its renewed effort to in- crease production was reported by Army and WPB representatives at a recent meeting.

August reports are expected by WPB to show a greater increase, reflecting further expansion in plant facilities. Industry Needs 250,010 Workers With cotton textile production lag ging, the industr has been faced since May 1 with a need for hiring nearly a quarter of a million work-! ers by November 1, in order to ex pand its output to meet fully the es timated demands for cotton products, the War Manpower Commission says. As yet, WMC said, only a small number of cotton textile plants have made manpower utilization sur veys or sought this service in order to determine the specific cause of labor turnover. OPA Sets New Snap Bean Rate Ceiling prices for 1944 packed snap beans produced in all areas, except New Jersey and Maryland, have been established by OPA. Ceilings for these two states will be announced later, OPA said. The new ceilings, effective August 30, 1944, for sales to civilians are gross maximum prices from which subsidy payments of 11 cents" per dozen No. 2 cans and 54 cents per dozen No. 10 cans are to be subtracted. This subsidy pay ment ismade to hold the general level of prices to the consumer where they were last year. Round-up OPA says: If you smoke import ed cigars, you will be glad to learn that dollar-and-cent ceiling prices for importers and wholesalers, and at retail for practically all brands have been established Consumer prices more than fi ' renta a nmmrl at tho : wholesale distributive levels ..." Authority for all retailers of meat to pre-cube steaks from top or bot-. torn rounds of utility and cutter and canner grades of beef has been granted.

Several changes in f. o. b. shipping point ceiling prices for fresh peaches produced in Montana, Wyoming. Utah, Colorado and New Mexico have been set up under Amendment 54 to MPR 426.

Agriculture reportea.. Willis said that the 1944 estimate of 2,185,000 bushels for North Caro lina's soybean crop shows a decrease of five per cent from the 1943 soy bean crop, however, is 82 per cent higher than the 10-year average pro duction of 1,793,000 bushels. According to Willis, the, 1944 yield prospect for peanuts remained un changed during August and the fore- cast of 1,250 pounds per acre still stood on Sejember 1. The forecast ! per acreage yield is 96 pounds higher j than the 10-year average of 1,154 pounds, and it is 230 pounds highei than last year's poor yield of 1,020 pounds per acre. Peanut vines made good to ex-' cellent growth during August, Willis said, but dry weather at blooming and pegging time caused a set of nuts not quite up to the luxuriant vine growth, Dry soils toward the last of i August prevented the usual setting of late nuts and it is expected that dig ging will start a week or ten days earlier than usual, Willis stated. Many farmers had stacking poles set in the field at month's end in pre- paction for early digging operations. I he statistician attributed this year's reduction in the soybean crop to the fact that approximately 190,-J 000 acres will be harvested this year,' contrasted to the 257,000 acres har-l vested last year. Since this years! hay crop is short, Willis said that I many farmers deemed it wise to cut a I larger portion of their soybean acre age for hay.
