Farmers Now Signing 1943 AAA • Farm Plans i i i I Farmers in every county of the State now are signing 1943 farm plans stating whether or ; not they intend to cooperate in the 1943 AAA program, accord ing to G. T. Scott, Chairman of ■ The State AAA Committee, j Reports received at the State . AAA Office show that through i January 9, a total of 161,139 I farmers had been interviewed, j and of this number 159,699 in- I dicated they will participate in Person Rationing Board Bulletin i • ' By Person County Rationing Board I i How to US', yo.r new ration book to buy canned or bottled fruit.', vegetables, svups, and juices; frozen fruits and vege tables; dried fruits. ! 1. The government has set th. date for rationing to come with in Ute next few weeks. It will be necessary on or after that date j to carry your war ration Book I No. 2 with you when you ■warvt to purchase processed foods. 2. Before you buy, notice the ' posters placed in your grocers store and buy according to the' number of points per artical. The 1 point value will *be the same on 1 identical articles in all stores 1 but this does not determine the price or nutritional value. 3. When you bry take the cor-! rect amount of Blue stamps j from your book in front of the I grocer. It is advisable to use larger stamps first. For example I if a food costs 13 points, it is bet ter to give the grocer a 5 and an 8 than many stamps of smaller value. You can combine the stamps from all books belong- . ing to your family. 4. Every person in your house-!, hold will receive a total of 48 j points. This means that you may 1 ; use all these for processed foods 1 j for one ratilen period. All the■ j blue stamps marked A., 8., C., are for the first period. When you have used all of your stamps ypu may not apply for more dur ing that, period. We cannot afford to' waste feted or to give some individuals more than their share—that is' why it will be necssary to ration I processed foods. To receive the tnost benefit from your book learn the proper nutritional val ues and buy accordingly. RETAILERS Last date for filing new maxi- | mum prices with appropriate !

There still are 79,282 farmers to be in- ! tervh wed. ‘‘When a farmer signs a 1943 J farm plan, he merely states whether he plans to participate in the . 1943 AAA program,” Scott said. “Signing is purely voluntary on the part of the farmer and the plan is not a centra?! After a farmer signs a farm plan, he is assisted in formulating a farm program for 1943 designed to earn maximum production practice credits for carrying out these practices most needed on his farm. This sign up should not be confused with the signing of 1943 Farm Plan Work Sheets for Maximum War Production in which the farmer’s war crop goals are set out.” j Farmers taking part in the A AA program are allowed to ob tain conservation materials, such as legume and cover crop seed, lime, and phosphate, for use on their land in lieu of farm pay ments. In an effort' flo conserve trans portation facilities, he said, most of the 1943 sign-up work is be- j ing carried on when farmers are ' I at meetings or are in the county ■ AAA offices for other reasons.

This will, help to make the house warmer and also to keep put blowing rain and snow. Should the house have two or more rooms, a few feet on each side of the partition should be closed up, the State College pioul i tryman suggested, so as to make [ each room more like a separate : house. Also, Parrish pointed out, the feeding of a mash moistened with warm milk or warm water at noon will keep egg production up to a higher level. In addition, the flock should have available at all times water with the chill taken off. If no warmers are used, the drinking water shoud be changed several times each day either with warm water or water fresh from the pump or well.
