Small Grains Will
Do. Urgent Feed Job
Clemwm. Sept.- "Kvery farmer real
izes that more feed must be. produced
in South Carolina if our present live
stock population is to be adequately
fed in order to produco the milk, eggs
and meat ho vltaTly nc*eded on the
tarirjH and in the war service," saya
il» A. Woo<lle, nemsoii extensloa
agronomist. "Nearly every farmer
also understands that our acreage of
T-roplai^ cannot l)e materially incn us
ed, and that the nmn labor ne.-ded
to handle additional acres is not avail-
abU*^
‘A Huhstantlai increase in small
grain acreage appears to l)e the. an
swer to the problem. ‘Small grain
crops: can be increased without ifi-
creasing the acreage of cropland, and
they can also be handled efficiently by
making full use of available farm
labor and machinery/’ . < .
Small grains fill several needs, "Mr.
Woodle explains. In addition to sup
plying the necessary grain, they furn
ish excellent winfer cover to^ prevent
leaching and erosion; they also furn
ish winter and spring grazing, silage,
and spring hay. Winter and spring
rains usually assure plenty of. mois
ture foF-' good sniall grain crops.
Declaring that most farmers under
stand the value of good seed of
adapted varietlee, the advantage of
heavier seeding rates, the Importance
of sf^ treatment, » firm jeedUed,
and proper fertilization, Mr. Wobdle
concludes;
"The problem facing South Carolina
farmers right now Is not what to do,
or how to do it, but* simply getting
the Job dQhe.’^

RUSSIA: ^

WitH toe Dnieper river in sight,
the end of a long German retreat
along the whole central and southern
front in Russia neared. It is along
the entire 750 miles o( the broad,
winding river that the Nazis evident
ly intend, to make a final stand in
Russia. Should the Germans fail to
hold the Dnieper line, they would
be cottYpclk'd to fall back, into Eu

Even as air-borne Australian
troops landed in northeastern New
Guinea in another daring move to
cut off the Japanese from simply
bases, Gen. Douglas MacArthur re-
enxphasized • the pattern of his stra
tegic battle-plans in the Southwest
Pacific.
Assailing the principle of “island
hopping’’ — that is, taking one island
after the other—General MacArthur
declared: "“Key points must, of
course, be taken, but a wise choice
of such wryi obviate the need for
storming the mass of islands now in
enemy possession . . . (which) is
not my idea of how to end the war
as soon and as cheaply as possible.’’
Replying to talk he would be
shelved, Gen. MacArthur said: “I
have no personal military, ambitions
wHatsoever, and am perfectly con
tent in such role as,may be pre
scribed for me.’’

tion of drafting dads. Gen. George
C. Marshall and Adm,, Ernest J.
King declared they were interested
only on meeting the services’ quota
for 1,200,poo men by the end of the
year.
According to the war manpower
commission, 446,000 fatheis \viU
have to be inducted if the services’
demands are to be met. Marshall

In leading the fight against imme

Burton K. Wheeler sought to estab
lish that production was exceeding
requirements In certain lines, result
ing in a waste of manpower which
could be used tb better advantage
in other industries behind scjiedule.
Wheeler also sought to probe claims
that certain employers Were over
staffing their concerns atid raising
costs to assure larger profits on con
tacts.

day cause a natjohal catastrophe.”
Germany today faces, a wqrse isola-
^tion than in 1918, they contended.
Addition of the former Nazi mili
tarists. to the “Free German”, com-
mittee undoubtedly was for the as
surance of order it might promise
in case qf Germany’s internal col
lapse. Russia’s creation of the
“Free German” committee has beerl
seen as a move to incorporate the
always potentially strong German
nation into its own European order,
independent of Anglo-American plan
