ACTS ON LIVESTOCK FEED
As part of the government pro
gram to conserve livestock feed
and make the best use of avail
able supplies in producing the
maximum volume of livestock
products, WFA has taken the fol
lowing steps: (1) elimination of
the subsidy the Commodity Credit
Corporation has been paying on
corn moving from surplus to East
ern and» Southern deficit areas;
(2) an increase of 20 cents a bu
shel in the price of feed wheat on
and after Dec. 6; and (3) an offer
to buy corn during the remainder
of this month at the old ceiling
price in approximately 150 coun
ties on the fringe of the corn belt
where the new ceiling on corn
(effective Dec. 6) represents a
reduction in prices. OPA raised
the maximum price of corn nine
cents a bushel in Chicago to cor
rect inequities in the previous reg
ulation. At the same time, the
prices of oats, barley and sorghum
grains were “frozen” at the high
est prices of the five-day period.
Nov. 29 to Dec. 3, pending is
suance within 60 days of a perma
nent regulation on these feeds.
SEED PRICES UNDER CONTROL
The 1944 program for winter
prices on hairy vetch, common
vetch, crimson clover and ryegrass
seeds at levels from 5 to 40 per
cent higher than last season,
through purchases by the Com
modity Credit Corporation. Four
teen types of vegetable seeds, in
cluding about 200 domestic and
imported varieties, have been
placed under ceiling prices by
OPA. Seeds included are bean,
pea, corn, beet, cabbage carrot,
cauliflower, Swiss chard , cucum
ber, lettuce,, mangel, onion, ruta
baga and turnip. All alfalfa seeds,
including all state certified im
proved varieties, have been made
subject to control of the price
regulation governing legume and
grass seeds by OPA. This regula
tion now includes the following
domestic and Canadian seeds: al
falfa, medium red and mammoth
red clover, alsike clover, sweet
clover, timothy, and all mixtures
of those seeds.
FARM HELP FOR LUMBER
INDUSTRY
Because of the critical over all
lumber and pulpwood shortage
which directly affects farmers,
who are large users of lumber and
wood products, Marvin Jones, War
Food administrator, indicated that
farmers should help by: (1) in
creasing production from farm
industries during the slack winter
season on farms. Lumber used on
farms for the construction and
maintenance of farm buildings re
quires three and one half billion
board feet annually, Jones said.
BROWN POINTS FOR WASTE
FATS

one brown ration point for each
one-half pound of salvage kitchen

addition, she will continue to re

ers will not give points for less

PLAN VICTORY GARDENS
NOW
Although Victory gardeners ex
ceeded their gool 18 million gar
dens for 1943 by about 10 percent,
they are asked for another 10 per
cent increase in 1944. Arrange
ments should be made now for the
use of vacant land, and consider
able preparatory work can go on
through the winter. Hard coal
ashes can be sifted and stored on
plots. Compost piles and supplies
of manure can be accumulated,
and either turned under wherever
ground is not frozen or stacked
for use in early spring.
GIFT PACKAGES POINT FREE
Gift packages of jams, jellies,
fruit butter, preserves, and non
citrus marmalade that were pack
aged before Oct. 23 for sale as
Christmas gifts may be bought
point-free through Jan. 8, OPA
said recently. Because the pack
ages were made up before these
foods were rationed, and because
they are often assembled in pack
ages with such highly perishable
products as cakes and cookies, it
is necessary to sell them speedily
to prevent waste.
CATSUP RELEASED TO
CIVILIANS
Nearly a million cases of to
mato catsup will be released soon
to civilians. The catsup is being
released from specific reserves
held and owned by canners but set
aside by them for government
use.
SUSPENDER BUTTONS BACK
Suspender buttons are to be re
stored to men’s work pants, ac
cording to an amendment of WPB’s
order L-181.
PLEASE STAY HOME, URGES
ODT
Civilians are urgently requested
by the Office of Defense Trans
portation to give up all pleasure
trips on trains or intercity buses
from Dec. 17 through Jan. 10. Jo
seph B. Eastman, ODT director,
requests civilians to defer even
necessary travel, wherever possi
ble, until after Jan. 10. Because
of supply limitations, few extra
trains can be operated over the
holidays. Unless civilians stay
home, accommodations for fur
lough and essential war business
travel cannot be assured. Despite
shortages of workers, the public
transportation industries are suc
cessfully carrying more passengers
and more freight than ever before.
However, the transportation man
power problem is now becoming
serious, especially in maintenance
and repairs.
COMEBACK
“Your methods of cultivation are
hopelessly out of date,” said the
youthful agricultural college grad
uate to the old farmer, “Why, I’d
be astonished if you got even ten
pounds of apples from that tree.”
“So would I,” replied the farmer.
“It’s a pear tree.”
