Less Nitrogen and Phos
phate
U. 1 S. farmers probably
will have less nitrogen and
phosphate fertilizers to use
on 1945 crops because of in
creased military use of
. these materials WFA re
ports. The supply of potash,
WFA says,- will be mater
ially larger than last year.
If fanners lay in their fer
tilizer stocks soon this will
clear the way for manufac
ture of more mixed fertili
zers in case the supply sit
uation improves in time. .
Hey, Kids, Listen to This ,
You can tell Dad and
Mom that you got it from
WPB that there will be a
few toy soldiers and minia
ture automobiles and trucks
made out of zinc on the
market this year. The folks
may not be able to buy new
electric lights for the Chris
tmas tree, but they can get
tinsel and those gorgeous,
colored blown glass orna
ments. Tell the folks that
while toys will be a little
higher they will also be a
little better—less paper
board and more wood and
metal. And if you’re look
ing for ideas to put into a
letter to Santa Claus, here’s
some information to keep
in mind—rubber for toys,
still prohibited; tricycles,
scooters and other heavy
toys, not being made; elec
tric trains, none but some'
new. track for electric rail
road maintenance is on the
market; toys with gears,'
not to be had; some toy
wagons with wooden wheels
and some with metal
wheels; fewer sleds than
before the war and some of
them with wooden runners;
some doll carriages with
metal chassis, others with
wood; doll carriage tires, to
4. be made of “mud,” the re
sidue by-product of re
claimed rubber; dolls in
pre-war quantities, with
■ curls, moving eyes and ev
en voices; plenty of Teddy
bears and stuffed toys;
more of those new plastic
doll dishes and a few mod
ern, steel unbreakable dish
es; both metal and wood
construction sets, 10,000 0/
the metal ones with electric
motors; a “fair” supply of
chemistry sets; a “limited’
supply of checkers, domi
noes, dart boards and other
games this year because
your “G. I.” brother is .get
ting some of your share.
Apple Ceiling Stays Up
Reduced apple yields have
led the Office of Price Ad
ministration to extend the
September increase in ap
ple ceiling prices to cover
the rest of the season in
nine of the 11 States in
which OPA granted a Sep
tember increase. The nine
States covered are Indiana
Illinois, lowa, Missouri, Ok
lahoma, Kansas, Tennessee
Kentucky and Arkansas
The increase of 1.267 cents
a pound — equivalent to 57
cents a box or bushel—will
be carried through whole
sale and retail transactions
to the consumer.
Farmers Buy Surplus
*■
RECORD CROPS
PRODUCED IN 1944
Raleigh.—North Carolina
farmers are again in a fav
ored position regarding
their 1944 crop year ac
cording to Frank Parker,
crop reporting service sta
tistician of the N. C. De
partment of Agriculture.
Os course setbacks, drough
ts, floods, insect pests, late
spring plantings, extreme 1
shortage of labor, war time
prices of things farmers
must buy, lack of adequate
transportation, and other,
handicaps have been ex
perienced.
The big thing is that de
| spite all these, by overtime
work of “old” men, wives,
children, and the rare real
farm “young” men, farms
have produced almost re
cord crops. Prices have
been generally good, but
comparable profits with!
other industries are rare.
Tractors have often been
operated all night. Live
stock was cared for during
the dark morning and ev
ening hours. There was no
loafing on the farms*,,
The labor shortage is tell-1
ing now, declared Parker, j

struction materials used on

J Half the candy bars, can

1 live cents and produced
1 during the last quarter of
* this year are to be set aside
■ for procurement by the
armed forces, according to
1 a WFA order—ln spite of
1 war, since Pearl Harbor, by

• Rural Electrification Ad
: ministration has electrified

Department of Agriculture
[ says. . . To help care for
sick, injured and wounded
; soldiers, the Army Medical
Department has appealed
to Red Cross Nurses’ aids
with hospital experience to
apply for civilian jobs in
Army hospital or dispen
sary services. Eligible worn
en should write Medical Di
vision, U. S. Civil Service
Commission, Washington,
25, D. C., for the Army
Nurses’ Aide booklet. .. Me
tal license plates issued by
State or local Governments
may now be made from me
tal, as a result of a removal
of WPB restrictions. . .
WPB has approved the
building in the U. S. of nine
hydro-electric turbine gen
erators to replace those de
stroyed by the Russians in
their Dnieprostroi plant
when they retreated before
the Germans in 1941. No
one thing, say the Russians,
will do so much to remedy
the damage done by the
Germans as restoration of
this power plant.

The harvest of cotton is far
I behind, preparation for fall
seeding of small grains has
j been delayed, and hay mak
ing extended over a longer
period than usual.
J The fall season has not
been as dry as usual. Thus,
fall plowing was permitted
when time - would allow.
Soybean prospects are poor
due to insect ravages, late
■ summer pasturage about
average for most counties,
‘ and farm fruit crops better
i than usual. Tobacco, cot
i ton, and peanuts as cash

This is just one of the many vital join
your contribution helps to take care of
—when you support the National War
Fund by giving to your loqal Com
munity War Fund. Yqur dollars go to
work on six continents and in ninety-one
countries —including your own , because
this united campaign covers the hig

And don’t just give a "token" con
