A Chetnik falls before a Nazi firing squad. One oi the dynamic mo
ments in "Chetnik," (the fighting guerrillas), which shows at the Plym
outh Theatre Sunday. Phillip Dorn, Anna Sten and John Sheppard
are featured.
We have been advised that when
an agricultural worker desires to
leave the farm seeking work in in
dustry, he must have a statement of
availibility from his last employer or
from the United States Employment
Service. A worker may transfer from
one farm to another without a re
lease or statement of availibility, but
when going into industry he must
have this statement on file with his
new employer. Men within the draft
age classified under 2C or 3C for ag
ricultural reasons cannot work in in
dustry at the same time they work
on the farm. If they do this the lo
cal draft board will immediately re
classify them for induction into the
armed forces. We are now down to
bed rock as far as farm workers are
concerned. We cannot afford to
lose any industry or any more into
the armed forces when they have
established sufficient units to meet
the requirements of “C” classifica
tion. —
Farm workers, as well as all labor,
have now been frozen in compliance
with the President’ Executive order
9272, effective May 15th.
The protein supplement situation
is expected to become more critical
as the season advances. Poultry
feeds at this time are not available
in Plymouth, and I understand the
same is true in Williamston. A good
many of our farmers have been for
tunate in securing cotton seed meal,
peanut oil meal and other high pro
tein feeds. This can be substituted,
to some extent, but the farmers who
have depending entirely upon mill
or mized feeds are finding themselves
in a perdicament. Some of our farm
ers report baby chicks running on
soybeans for grazing and at the same
time they are feeding finely ground
small grain, mostly corn and wheat.
When this mixture is supplemented
and Pfc. W. H. Peele spent Tuesday
| in Plymouth with friends.

by either skimmed milk or butter
butter milk, there is nothing especial
ly wrong with the ration. When
these home mixed feeds are used,
poultry should be fed. in addition, at
least two pounds of agricultural
limestone to 100 pounds of feed.
Soybean grazing should be made
available for our hogs. Protein sup
plement wdll be scarce for them also
and both summei and winter legumes
will go a long way towards furnish
ing the necessary protein supple
ment. Gains or fattening will be
somewhat slower but also cheaper
and growing your proteins appears
to now be a necessity.
The Department of Agriculture re
ports an increase of about 3,000.000
milk cows; 1.000,000 beef cattle;and
increase of 14 per cent in poultry and
about 20.000.00 more hogs. All live
stock production is way up and
seems to be approaching the limit as
far as farmers are able to produce
feed. The short corn crop in out
immediate locality has given Wash
ington County farmers an idea of
how serious the situation is. There
is now no more corn that can be
bought. We have been trying to buy
a car of corn for about a month. It
seems that those who need feed
grain of some kind will be forced to
use feed wheat. It is possible for us
to get government wheat delivered in
Washington County at $1.08 per
bushel if ordered this month.
An inventory of available farm
machinery shows that there are a
few tractors that can be bought. Our
farmers are also now able to get
planters and cultivating equipment
both horse and tractor drawn: trac
tor drawn disc plows; one way till
ers; one power sprayer, two wheels,
mounted tractor drawn type with a
200 gallon tank; several tractor
drawn botton plows; tractor drawn
corn shellers of from 300 to 1400
bushel capacity. We received today
a new farm machinery quota giving
Washington County one potato dig
ger. two manure spreaders eight wa
gons and one lime spreader. We also
learned that farmers may buy up to
400 pounds of fence wire without a
purchase certificate or a priority
rating. If his needs during any cal
endar month exceeds 4000 pounds he
may secure a purchase certificate for
the desired amount when a supplier
has been located who can fill the or
der. Some of the above equipment
will require a certificate but the but
the machinery rationing committee
can grant certificates without any
delay upon application at the agri
culutral building.
Our county War Board was recent
ly advised that supplies of gasoline
and fuel oil will give preference first
to armed forces and government
agencies and next will come motor
fuel for non-highway farm uses. This
announcement was made after war
boards reported shortages in some
farming areas, to such an extent
that the food production effort was
being curtailed.

It is very important that each gar

up to date. It is much easier to keep
a record if it is completed at the end
of each week and put on the record
at the end of each month.
One of the representatives of the
Horticultural Department plans to
visit in this county sometime in June.
If you are having any particular
problems with your victory garden
for June 8th will be held at the At

1. SAVE TIME. Think of it-you can
now redecorate a room in 3 hours.
TWo hours to apply Pittsburgh
Techide-and only one hour for it
to dry!
2. SAVE MESS. No need to scrape off
shabby old wallpaper. Techide gives
a smooth, light-diffusing surface
over wallpaper, plaster, etc.
3. SAVE MONEY because one coat of
Pittsburgh Techide is usually suffi
cient . . . and one gallon of Techide
is enough for the average room. On

adequate planned storage space is im
portant, If your Victory Garden and the glass
ing you do from its products are to be of real war
time usefulness. The foods you preserve for use
when your garden's productive season is over will
not only maintain a health-building diet for your
family, but help us share more rationed foods with
the Fighting Forces and our Allies. Glassed foods
kept behind doors, under the bed, and in other
makeship storage places suffer considerable loss
through cracking, breakage and swelling.
PLAN STORAGE FOR MORE THAN THIS YEAR
because our food-sharing program will be needed
long after the peace is written. In many instances
you will need to be quite ingenious, particularly in
en apartment, small house, or housekeeping rooms.
Do give some time, thought, and a little money
now to planning storage, and be sure to observe
these "musts": COOL as possible in summer;
WARM in winter; DRY at all times; VENTILATED.
IDEAL SPACE is a cellar under the house, or an
out-building. But the end of a porch could be en
closed, or a cupboard built on to outside of the
house. The space to be as convenient and close to
kitchen as possible. It should have tight walls and
floors. Flattened out corrugated boxes can be
tacked over cracks. If several thicknesses are need
ed, seal them together with sodium silicate from
the drug store. If you are worried about winter
cold, make wall spaces at least 4 Inches thick and
fill with dry sawdust or rock wool. If you build
shelves at porch end or outside the house working
from inside of shelves out, use wind-break paper,
boards, building paper, then your outside clap
board or building shingles. If you use pa< i of the
basement where there is a furnace, partition off
the part for storage so the temperature can be
kept below SO degrees. Arrange screened, ad
justable ventilation at top and bottom. If there is
a window, cover it with opaque paper to prevent
sun-discoloration.
THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE SPACE you want
'depends upon number of jars in your glassing chart.
20 feet of shelf space for 100 pints, quarts, or i/j
gallon jars, two rows on a shelf; for 100 ketchup
and fruit juice bottles allow 20 feet with 3 rows to
fhe shelf. The shelf should be 12 inches deep, end
ellow 2 to 8 inches of clearance space in height.
Support shelves at 30-inch intervals. Sagging
shelves can be disastrous! Provide shelves early so
empty jars can be cleaned and properly capped
ready for glassing.
FOR CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY arrange safe
artificial light, have a hand rail and light on the
steps to basement, see that steps are straight, firm
and give a good tread. Do not make top shelf
over 72 inches from floor; have shelves so that they
can be easily cleaned. Permanent shelves are best,
but portable shelves are excellent in temporary
quarters.
PLAN ARRANGEMENT FOR YOUR JARS so th-y
can be easily located (and admired!) Deter,
your own arrangement, but do use continu
your placement. Keep fruits, tomatoes, leafy
tables and other groups together. Set asic!
shelf for your select jars. At th~ nnd of tK
post a menu or two for quick r ne» Pc
you have need for a shelf to .-,■■/ .scent or
baby foods, or a supply she unch-box needs.
NOTE: Storage facilities in -.ds, trenches, pi s
above and below the ground, structures for fresh
fruit, root vegetables, e,c., will be discussed in
later lessons.
