r:5 : Potato Growers Get Higher Price
Producers of early white potatoes
'.'.Will receive ceiling prices assuring
v: them of the same average return as
a year ago and about 17 cents a hun-
dred-weight above the legal minimum
S?' price, it is announced by the Office
( of ' Price Administration. At the
K same time, however, consumers will
' firid that the average cost of this
early crop of potatoes will be the
same as retail prices of last season.
The 'action was needed to maintain
production at a level sufficient to
meet estimated demands.
J ,New Ceiling Price Lists for Retailers
:". Supplemental ceiling price lists
that will include all the changes that
, have been made in the prices of dry
.' groceries since issuance of the current
. quarterly community ceiling price
it- lists will soon be forwarded to food
' ' retailers in most areas, the Office of
Price Administration announces. Ob-
jectiyes of the additional lists is
''if -Jo make it easier for retailers and
consumers to keep track of changes
V in ceiling prices. Under this plan it
. will only be necessary for grocers to
-: post two lists for dry groceries the
."quarter'- lis and this supplement
j . instead of the larger number of sep-
.Carate postings previously required.
TjThus it will be easier for housewives
I 4 lj find the price per ton.
Less Nitrogen for Farms
Continued high military require
! ments for nitrogen mean- that less
will be available during 1945 for use
on American farms, according to a
il report of the Chemicals Bureau of
jawkWar Production Board to the Ni-
trogen Producers Industry Advisory
'Committee." ,
I Light Naptha Under Rationing

' duct normally tued'fpr cooking- and
lighting will be brought under ra
f ticning control, effective November
20, in 15 Midwestern states, v the Of
tfice of Price Administration "states.
This is beintr done to prevent the il-
legal use of this product as a motor

Vacuum Cleaner Price Basis Set
Makers of new household vacuum
cleaners and attachments may agree
to sell these products at prices that
can be increased up to maximum
prices that will be in effect when the
cleaner is delivered, as a result of
action taken by the Office of Price
Administration. Thus buyers can
place orders for the new cleaners and
manufacturers agree to deliver them
at the maximum price that will be .set
by OPA when production begins.
However, the action specified that no
seller may deliver or make an agree
ment to deliver new vacuum cleaners
at prices to be adjusted upward in
accordance with a maximum price to
be set after delivery unless so author
ized by OPA. But no such authori
zation will be given at retail.
More Low Cost Shoes Seen
An increased production of low
cost shoes of rationed types for men,
women and children is anticipated
by the War Production Board through
relaxation of quality and quota re
strictions. It is expected that better
values will thus be made available
to the public. The amended order
eliminates price line and quota re
strictions on footwear under certain
price levels. The order affects shoes
selling af about $4 to men, $3 to
?3.50 for women, and $2.75 to .'! for
children.
Distillers' Alcohol Not Needed In
January
Facilities of de nation Vh grain
beverage distillers will not Be needed
during January for making industrial
alcohol, states J. A. Krug, Chairman
of the War Production Board. The
distillers, however, will return to in
dustrial alcohol output in February,
1S45. The January release reflects
the cut in requirements of alcohol for
synthetic rubber during the fourth
quarter of this year, due to the near
ing of capacity rates by synthetic
rubber plants producing butadiene
from petroleum- - v.

There's a crisis in the making!
If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents' ware
houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must
move fast or the lack of man -power will cause a para
lyzing shortage.
Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To
supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car
goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then
moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation.
It must move out of agents' hands as fast as it moves
in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the
ports, even back to the ships.
Already there's a threatened shortage of nitrogen,
due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help
smash the bottle-neck by
taking your nitrate as soon
as it is offered, the shortage
will become acute. Thous
ands of tons will pile up at
U.S. ports or on the docks
In Chile. The only place Chil
ean Nitrate does you any
good is on your crops. Get
yours now . . . while you
can.
