Tlic indications are now that the
| 1943 farm program year will close
i on June 30th instead of October 31st
as has been the case in the past.
This brings us to the serious ques
] tion of meeting soil building goals.
: in order to get full payments, before
June 30 of next year. The Agricul
I tural Adjustment Agency has work
I ed out a plan whereby producers may
! apply the practices, excluding the
i practice of turning beans, earned af
; ter June 30th of this year to their
I next years' goal provided they have
j earned their goal for this year be
| fore June 30t.h. All practices earn
; ed after June 30th above those need
ed to complete this year’s goal will
be credited on next year's goal in
order to help producers earn their
goal for next year before June 30th.
In view of these changes it seems
wise to carry out as many seeding
practices as possible. Seed all the
vetch you can get. Seed all the rye
and oats for turning in the spring,
your pocket-book will permit. Use
as much lime as you usually do and
then increase that a little.
If you have gotten all the lime and
vetch seed you can get under your
1942 payment get some more vetch
seed and charge it to your 1943 pay
ment. We will notify you when the
seed are here and you can do the
rest.
Tobacco marketing cards will be
mailed to all tobacco producers in
the county next week. A letter of
explanation will be mailed with these
cards. It is requested that each pro
ducer follow the instrutcions given
in the use of the card in order to
avoid penalties for violation later.

needed for War
“What’s it good for?”
“Guns, tanks, and maybe
part of a plane”
• "*■
In the barnyards and gullies
of farms and in the basements
and attics of homes is a lot of
Junk which is doing no good
where it is, but which is needed
at once to help smash the
Japs and Nazis.
Scrap iron and steel, for example.
Even in peacetime, scrap provided
about 50% of the raw material for steel.
It may be rusty, old “scrap” to you,
but it is actually refined steel — with
most impurities removed, and can be
quickly melted with new metal in the
form of pig iron to produce highest
quality steel for our war machines.
The production of steel has gone
up, up. UP, until today America is
turning out as much steel as all the rest
of the world combined. But unless at
least 6.000,000 additional tons of scrap
steel is uncovered promptly, the full
rate of production cannot be attained
or increased; the necessary tanks, guns
and ships cannot be produced.
The rubber situation is also critical.
In spite of the recent rubber drive,
there is a continuing need for large
quantities of scrap rubber. Also for other
waste materials and metals like brass,
copper, zinc, lead and tin.
The Junk which you collect is bought
by industry from scrap dealers at estab
lished, government-controlled prices.
Will you help?
First—collect all of your waste ma
terial and pile it up.
Then—sell it to a Junk dealer, give
it to a charity, take it yourself to the
nearest collection point, or get in touch
with your Local Salvage Committee.
If you live on a farm, consult your
County War Board or your farm imple
ment dealer.
Throw YOUR scrap into the fight!
