FARMS URGED TO STEP UP
MILK PRODUCTION
Dairy farmers of Stokes county
are asked to be in position to step
up their milk production this fall
and winter in order to prevent a
shortage. It now apears that we
may have a Grade A milk short
age this winter. It is definitely
known that drinking milk is be
ing shipped to North Carolina
from dairy farms in Nebraska.
Silage as a feed for dairy cows
is the answer to more milk for
Winter days. Feed silage, and re
_ £vst_
this winter. Plan now to dig or
build your silo. Use ordinary field
corn if you were not able to plant
Bilagc corn.

FEED' PULLETS WEI L
>
Eggs are retailing i n ::earby
towns for as much as 42 cents pe:
dozen and will probably sell lot
SO cents later. Feed your pullets
a full ration for proper body de
velopment and heavy egg produc
tion this winter. It is hoped that
poultrymen of Stokes county will
be in first class 3hape for greater
egg wiles.

j Mr. Henderson said the reduc
tions were made possible under
the recent agreement worked out
i
by the Office of Price Administra
i
tions, the Office of Petroleum Co
ordinator and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, whereby the
Defense Supplies Corporation will
absorb the extra transportation
costs of moving petroleum into
the Atlantic Seaboard areas.
Commerce Secretary Jones re
ported the Defense Plant Corpora
tion will finance a two-point pro
gram to convert existing steel
dry-cargo barges into tank barges
to transport oil, and to improve
inland waterways. The Bureau of
Mines estimated the National gas
oline demand for July, August
and September will be about 17
per cent, less than in the corres
ponding period last year, elimina
ting the necessity for a large win
ter accumulation of stocks.
Rationing
The outlook for obtaining sugar
supplies from the Caribbean has
"taken a turn for the worst" be
cause of submarine warfare and
the amount of shipping diverted
io jsar purposes, the OPA said.
The Office asked sugar refiners in
Louisiana and Texas not to ship
to sugar markets in Indiana, Ill
inois and Ohio until at least Sep
tember 1 because of a shortage in
their home states. OPA said these
restrictions will have to be con
tinued if receipts from Cuba and
Puerto Rico are below expecta
tions.
Under rationing regulations
persons owning more than one
typewriter may dispose of their
machines only to authorized
srs or to the procurement division
of the Treasury, OPA said. Tht
office ruled all new adult bicycles
are subject to rationing "even
though they may heve been dis
assembled or altered or the parti;
changed."
Transportation
The Office of Defense Transpor
tation took over allocation of all
new buses and froze all intergal
type buses in the hands of manu
facturers. Under the new plan,
the ODT will grant permission to
buy new buses only when the pur
chasers sign an agreement giving
ODT authority to transfer the
buses for use elsewhere if trans
portation difficulties develop. ODT
Director Eastman asked public
Service Commissions of the States
to make a nation-wide survey of
local rail and bus passenger serv
