AGRICULTURAL PAYMENT
RATES
A revised scale for payments to
farmers under the 1943 agricul
tural conservation program has
been set up by WFA to adjust
available funds to the increased
number of eligible farmers. The
revised rates (with the former
rates in parentheses) are: Cotton,
one cent per pound (1.1 cents),
corn, 3 cents per bushel (3.6 cents)
and wheat, 8.5 cents per bushel
(9.2 cents). Rates remain un
changed for rice and tobacco.
EQUAL DRAFT OF FATHERS
Drafting of fathers with children
born before September 15, 1942,
will begin at approximately the
same time throughout the nation,
the Selective service Bureau of
WMC said recently.
WAR BALLOTS FOR ARMY
Blank forms are available to all
officers and enlisted men of the
Army to enable them to apply for
war ballots for elections to be
held this year, the War Depart
ment reports. Public Law 712 re
quires these forms to be available
in years when officers of the na
tional government are elected. The
forms will also enable legally
qualified soldier voters to partici
pate in state elections.

I REPAIR SCHOOL BUSES NOW
School authorities and school
bus operators have been warned
by ODT against delaying the over
hauling of school buses. Last
minute efforts to obtain necessary
repairs may result in buses being
laid up when schools open this
fall. The shortage of skilled me
chanics and the scarcity of repair
parts may result in unexpected
delays, and a check-up may reveal
that some buses canhot be repaired
and must be replaced. The ODT
suggests that school authorities or
school bus operators contact local
ODT District Maintenance Advis
ory Committees to help solve prob
lems that may arise.
CIVILIANS GET CANNED
GOODS
Civilians will receive approxi
mately 6% million more cases of
canned apples, fruit cocktail, beets,
sweet corn, pumpkin or squash,
lima beans and tomato puree un
der an amendment to Director
Food Distribution Order 22.4 which
reduces the quantity that canners
are required to set aside from
1943 production to meet Govern
ment requirements.
GIFTS TO THE U. S. A.
Thousands of Americans, in ad
dition to paying taxes and invest
ing in War Bonds, have given
several million dollars in cash to
the government and many other
gifts. The Treasury to date has
completed more than 20,000 trans
actions in connection with con
tributors ranging, in cash, from
one cent to several hundred thou
sand dollars, and, in gifts, from
tinfoil to Rods Rouces. Cash do
nations total about $4,423,000.
FOOD PRICES DOWN
“Retail food prices as a group
—representing about two-fifths of
total living costs—declined by 2.0
percent.” Secretary of Labor Fran
ces Perkins said recently in dis
cussing changes in the cost of
living from June 15 to July 15.
“Clothing costs rose 0.5 percent.
Other costs, including house fur
nishings, utility rates and services,
were stable or increased moderate
ly.” With meat prices cut back by
OPA and vegetable seasonally lowr
er, the cost of living for city work
ers dropped 0.8 percent.
TO USE NYA EQUIPMENT
Vocational schools which were
using National Youth Administra
tion equipment or buildings on
June 30 have been advised by
Paul V. McNutt, Chairman, War
Manpower Commission, to file ap
plications before October 12 with
the regional offices of the Pro
curement Division, Treasury De
partment, if they wish to continue
using these buildings, tools, and
machines for training students dur
ing the war.

SPEED LIMIT SAVES TIRES
Tires wear out about four times
as fast at 65 miles an hour as at
35 miles an hour and speed is the
most important factor determining
the rate of tire wear, according
to a recent report by the Public
Roads Administration after a four
year investigation. Strict observ
ance of the national 35-mile speed
limit offers the greatest promise
of keeping the country’s cars roll
ing for another year, the study
concluded.
The existing feed shortage will
require that livestock numbers be
reduced in line with feed supplies.
It is expected that the cut will
come in hogs and chickens for
broilers.
