Canned Goods I Rationing Washington. Jan. 11. ? The Of-, fice of Price Administration to-' day released the following ques tions andtanswers ? the second of a series explaining point ration- 1 ing for canned, bottled and froz en fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable Juices, dried fruits and soups. ? * 1. Q; Why does the Govern ment ration all of the listed can ned foods together A. If only the canned foods that are most scarce were ration ed, consumers would rush to buy the unratloned foods which coufd be used instead. This would cre ate shortages of the alternate foods which would then have to be rationed after the supply had been seriously depleted. ' 2. Q. What foods are included in the new rationing program? A. Canned, bottled and frozen fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juices, dried fruits, arid all canned soups. These are known as "processed" foods. 3. Q. JUst what is a processed food? " ,<*v ?. a. processed iooa is one mat his been preserved so that it will keep as long as it stays, in its processed condition. Canned foods, for example, keep as long as they remain sealed, frozen foods as long as they remain frozen. 4. Q. Are jams, jellies, and marmalades included? A. No, these 'are not generally ?used interchangeably with canned fruits. 5. Q. Why are foods that are not used extensively included in the rationing program? A. To preserve for consumers as wide a ch6i^e"of foods as pos sible is spending their ration points. -- ?. Q.> Is evaporated milk in cluded in the new rationing pro gram A. No, canned milk is not be ing rationed in this program. 7. Q. What do the numbers on the ration stamps mean? A. The numbers on the stamps (8, 5, 2 and 1-j show how much the stamp is worth in "points." 8. Q. Whatis a point? A. A point, is a ration value much as dollars and cents are money values. Rationed foods have botb point and' money val ues. 9. Q. Why are the stamps ol different colors? A. The blue stamps will be used for rationing processed foods, the re'd stamps will be us ed later for meat rationing. 10. Q. What do the letters on the stamps mean? A. The letters on the stamp? will be used by the Office of Price Administration to ; designate the time during which' a stamp is valid. For example^ stamps let tered A, B, and C could be- desig nated for Us'e during the first ra tion period. 11. Q. Why is it necessary to give di<ierent point values to dif ferent kinds of pTapessed foods? Why can't they all ha>?^the same point value? A. Low point values wm\be given to food? that are relatively plentiful; high point values to those that are most scarce. The buyer can get more for his "points" by buying the foods Vlth low point values. _ .Since mosb-ljousewives will no- doubt do this/^R; will relieve the de mand for Very scarce foods. in Prices To Be, Revised Raleigh, Jan. 11. ? Effective today, the prices of mixed fertil izer, superphosphate and potash will be revised upward to meet increased production and trans portation costs, D. S. Coltrane, assistant to" the Commissioner of .Agriculture, announced this mor ning. The upward adjustments rep resent an absolute minimum need ed to secure sufficient production of commercial fertilizer to enable farmers to increase their yields for war requirements, explained the OPA in notifying Mr. Col trane of the change in prices. Coltrane said the price increas es allowed manufacturers on gen eral crop fertilizers vary from 20 cent$ to $1.98 per ton. "Fertilizer manufacturers have been deprived of virtually., all tha synthetic nitrogen solutions cus tomarily used by the industry, and many of their most inexpen sive sources of materials have been cut off by the war," decern ed Coltrane. He further explained that man ufacturers are being required to absorb Increased labor costs and much of the other Increases in operational expenses. Coltrane asserted that a spec ial price provision Is being set up to encourage the use of ?U available organic nitrogen mater ial*, including any oil seed meals which may be available In excess ?f livestock feeding requirements. ?Oil raj D mf, 9ur BonOs? !

Its color is a dark ; gray with a lighter band around its body. Xo males are known, the insect reproducing Svithout tertilization. "Most of the damage is caused by the grubs which feed on the roots of a large number of plants j including cotton, corn, cowpeas. i velvet beans, sweet potatoes, pea j nuts and Irish potatoes. The Xorth Carolina infestation is pro b-bly the result of a direct im | pollution from South America (at th& port at Wilmington," said -Mr. Harris. He explained^that the insect is a native of Argentina, Chile, Uru ! guay, New South Wale^ and AU9 i tralia. Everything possible is Tjejng done by the State and Federki governments to keep the white fringed beetle from spreading to j Other parts of the State and to 'control the damage In the infest ed I ? ^ EXTENSION ' 4iii \ " " A course iii^Health and Physi j ca!

C<. Phillips. Secretary Treasurer, said this week. The Farm Credit Administra tion, of which the production credit system is a part. ' is one of' the agencies concerned with pro duction Mr. Phillips declared. Credit, he added is of vital im portance to many farmers in fi nancing essential crops they ex pect to grow this year to aid in the nation's huge food-for-free dom program. " ? "Loans are made by the Pro duction Credit Association for the purpose of, buying seed, fertilizer, feed, the purchase of livestock, machinery and equipment and for carrying on specialized operations, such as, dairying, the breeding ! and feeding of beef catUe and ^ hog operations." Mr. Phillips | said. "Loans are made (or any' amount from $50 up for any * sound production purpose, the 1 amount depending on .the farm-]' er's needs and ability to repay^ from the operation being finan- 1 ced." I1 Mr. Phillips stressed the fact! that the rate of interest on pro-, duction credit loans is charged ? only on the actual amount bor- ' rowed, and only for the time the ' money is in use. He said thatj* repayments are made as the crops, livestock or products are sold. He gave dairzmen as anjl ; example, saying that they usual-1 j ly pay in installment^ out of ? their checks for iSilk Jtr cream. ( Loans for crtops, he pointed out. P | Usually fall due during the mar- 1 ketihg season. In all cases, he added, the repayments may be planned to fit the farmer's needs. ? v- ; ? ?
