Town and Farm In Wartime 1 WFA RELEASES CANNED FOODS Approximately 2,700,000 cases of canned peaches, peas, and to- ; mato catsup were released to consumers recently by the War Food Administration. The can ned goods probably will not reach retail shelves for several , weeks. Those foods were a por tion of the reserves owned and held by canners to meet possi ble emergency requirements of the government. \ Relatives and friends still have ne to send men and women overseas V-mail notices of war bond gifts for Christmas. The Army Postal Service has assur ed delivery by December 25 of all V-mail notices sent before December 1. War bonds as Christmas gifts will help to hold down inflationary buying of scarce merchandise, and will be a financial cushion for the ser vice man or woman upon return to civilian life, the Treasury Department added. RAISE HAMBURGER POINT VALUE The ration point value of hamburger has been increased ?from seven to eight points per pound. OPA has also broadened its definition of hamburger to Include additional meatier cuts of the lower grades of beef. V-MAIL CHRISTMAS PRESENTS TIRE SITUATION TIGHTENS Operators of passenger cars may find it impossible to ob tain used tires because com mercial vehicles delivering es sential goods are now eligible to receive used passenger and truck tires of sizes smaller than 7.50-20 to replace tires no longer serviceable. November quotas re cently released by OPA for new passenger and truck tires show 30 per cent fewer for trucks and 14 per cent fewer for pas senger cars. NO MORE ISSUE OF BOOKS ONE OR TWO No more copies of War Ration Books One or Two can be Issued by local rationing boards for any purpose whatsoever. All stamns In the two books -have r\~'-?d except Stamps 18 In Fook One, for shoes, and blu$ stamps X, Y, and Z In Book Two, which may be used to buy processed foods through Novem ber 20. OPA said the covers of the two books may be thrown away when the stamps have been used or have expired. ASKS COOPERATION ON COAL SITUATION Pr.n turners and dealers have been urred to cooperate in an effort to alleviate suffering in homes and public Institutions, which may be without coal. "Consumers who have any coal urgently requested to refrain from ordering more while their neighbors may be without any," Harold L. Icks, Solid Fuel Ad ministrator for War, said re cently. Retail coal dealers have been asked to check the fuel supply of their customers to discover where the need for coal is most acute, dealers in communities where coal has been short and where the wea ther has turned cold have been directed to get in touch with the area distribution manager of the Solid Fuels Administra tion so the limited amount of coal may be distributed where most needed. ? lotla i ?

SELLlT through Classified column REMOVE LIVESTOCK PROM PASTURE NOW Livestock should be taken off pastures Just after the first frost so that the pasture grasses may store up food for the win ter months and be In position to make a quick growth next spring, suggests Dr. R. L. Lov vorn, forage crop agronomist of the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at State College. He says that pastures are like bears In that they have to store up food for the winter months Bears live through the long win ter period of hibernation on the fats which they have stored up In their bodies through summer feeding. Or asses must build up a strong root system to live through the winter in good condition and be prepared to make a maxi mum of early growth for spring grazing. "Growers will note that grasseswhlch have been protect ed by brush in the pasture and plants around fence posts and like places not only make the earliest spring growth but also the large amount of grass for early grazing," Lovvom says. He also points out that where cattle are allowed to run on the pasture during the winter month* after all grafting U paw ed, a large amount of physical damage is done the pasture and It takes quite some time in the spring for the pasture to re cover from this bad treatment. I Removing cattle from pasture Just after the first frost will give the grasses time to build up a winter reserve of food that will bring earlier grazing and more grazing next spring.

O* WILL YOU BE THE NEXT GRAVEDIGGER? V V ' Don't say "NO" until you read this ? SURE YOU KNOW all about forest and range fires. How they destroy timber, which is a critical war material, and feed for cattle and sheep. How they rob us of precious man hours ? nearly eight million every year. How they cripple supplies of water that are vital for electric power and irrigation. "So what?" you ask, "What can I do?" YOU can do more than anyone else because it's folks like you ? good, honest, fighting American citizens ? who start the most forest and range fires. Sounds incredible, doesn't it? But here are the facts: Careless Americans last year started more forest fires than light ning, saboteurs, and incendiaries put together. We can't let it happen again this year. So when we are in or near forests, farm wood lands, brush, and grass ? remember: WE are the key men and women in this fight to pro tect the home front, and u * mustn't let Oar Carelessness be the Enemy's Secret Weapon. ATTENTION, BRUSH BURNERS! More than 6 million acres are burned, yearly, because of YOUR ageless use of fire in clearing plow land and burning logging and other slash and debris. Do your part this year. Remember; 1. Don't burn without a permit from a ranger or fire warden. 2. Don't burn during unusually hot, dry, or windy weather. 3. Scrape a trail or "plow around" areas to be burned. 4. Have help handy till the last spark is dead. IF YOU BURN ?LA?H First? get a permit Last ? Mil avwy sparfc ) PREVENT FOREST FIRES MSnvIInpoh J.
