It's not going to be very much trouble to keep up with the Joneses, for the duration. To use plain English there are not going to be so many Joneses to keep up with for a generation or so. As a matter of fact the JoneseB are going to have to pay a pretty big slice of the 200 billion dollars. or more, that will be needed to win this war. The first thing that will overtake ua jB?we've all got to learn how to walk. That means?we are going to find out what legs and feet are .for. Legs are those two appendages t!*at have boon hanging on to your hips for no apparent reason except to support two feet to be used to press an accelerator and a clutch and a brake. Now you must put these things to use. It is going to be hard on us for a lew weeks. We will have aching muscles and a desire to go fewer places ui til we learn that our nether limbs rre useful adjuncts to our body. Think of some people working! , A few other things will come along as time passes. We will find that ^f-orn- bread and buttermilk and fatwj)ack Kravy won't taste so had after using the same for our principle food for say. 2 or 2 years.

R. Hawkins, livestock specialist of the Qlemsoa Extension Service, said here today. This, with a 28 percent increase in fall pigs, will give approximately 25 percent increase for the marketing year. The Increase of 3 percent asked in beef cattle will be answered with a 14 percent increase of cattle for slaughter. Hawkins continued. "These animals which are produced ubove last year's supply will meet a ready demand from local consumers, thus improving the diet of our own people as well as replacing meat previously shipped in from other sections which may now be shipped to our Allies. "In addition to aiding in relieving transportation problems by produeing for home needs, farmers of the state will profit Trum tho production of live'stock as livestock prices are sufficl% ? 11r 1 y high to show a profit after payitiL fi i'<l costs." ilieh' !' prices for livestoi k and meat durii g industrial activity indicate. i i.rd:.-r to Mr Hawkins, that low pr.? i-s in the meat trade come as a remit of low buying power and not i'roni too many animals in the market and on farms. That Americans do not have accces to sufficient meat to i supply their needs for an adequate i diet is shown by their disposition to I buy during periods of high employment levels. Farmers who back up their plans to increase their meat-producing animals by good production practices will benieflt two-fold. Ample rations include a ^ood protein supplement and farmraised grains plus abundant forage of a tender s6cculen4 nature. Good housing prevents loss of young pigs, froedom from parasites and disease reduces feed cost and speeds up gains. These and other practices of less importance contribute to success. One hundred octane fuel is expected to be in general use for automobiles after the war, bringing more power 'with greater economy. v ,y I ('^v ^ ^ l ^ '* ' * v- ' '^^'' '/ ?
