A war board memoranda this week
states that the Office of Price Ad
ministration has amended the sugar
regulations to make more liberal the
amounts of sugar available for home
canning. Home canners may now ob
tain one pound of sugar for every
four quarts of finished canned fruit.
An additional one pound per person
for the making of jams, jellies, pre
serves, etc. The quota is based on
the number in the family, the quan
tity of fruits canned in previous
years, the amount of canned fruit on
hand, the amount of sugar on hand
when making application and a num
ber of other requirements. The time
for accepting applications will be an
nounced later by our local rationing
board.
Farmers who have cotton crop in
surance should report hail damage on
cards sent them by this office for
reporting loss. Adjusters will be sent
to appraise the damage as early as
possible. No insured land should be
planted to other crops until this ap
praisal has been made and accepted
by the county committee of the Ag
ricultural Adjustment Administra
tion.
The prospect of a transportation
shortage which will curtail shipments
of coal and oil makes it desirable that
farmers substitute wood where pos
sible for other fuels. The same is
true with others in our community
who could possibly use wood. Many
of our farmers have wood lots and
could furnish Plymouth and other
towns in the county an ample supply
of fuel wood. While wood is rather
bulky and possibly a little more mes
sy around the home than other fuels
we could, by using wood for fuel, re
lieve the transportation problem and
at the same time make a contribu
tion towards the war effort. Trans
portation after all is one of the major
problems to overcome in the present
emergency.
Our State Davision of Game tells
us that if we would have more game
this fall to shoot we must raise more
stock this summer and if we raise
more game birds this summer we
must have more feed for them. A
few extra rows of plant food around
the edge of fields, ditch-banks and
hedgerows if seeded would produce
an abundance of feed. A good game
management program colub be a pro
fitable sideline to any farm. In
most sections of this country shoot
ing permits are sold in the same way
that wo sell peanuts, tobacco, etc.
The War Production Board order
freezing steel and iron permits farm
are to repair buildings and certain
maintenance additions, the order
freezing pine lumber does not apply
to ground mills sawing 5000 or less
feet per day. Farmers are advised to
secure needed materials for all farm
repair and maintenance at once. Al
so storage bins for oats, soybeans and
other feed should be made at the ear
liest possible date. Prices on bags
for grain, seed and peanuts have
been fixed but bags are scarce and
where possible farm storage should
be done in bins. The increased pro
duction of soybeans and peanuts for
oil under the War Program will take
up much of the oil mill storage space
as well as warehouses which we have
been depending upon for storing our
seed and grain. Where possible make
sufficient arrangements on the farm
to store farm products for at least
three or four months period.
The county office is setting up a
farm tool and machinery exchange.
The purpose is to assist in making
exchange of equipment where there
