South Carolina Cotton Needed
There are large supplies of
short-staple, low-grade cotton on
hand, the Department of Agricul
ture says, but relatively small
supplies of the higher grade and
longer staples of upland cotton,
ecv’th Carolina cotton production
is argely confined to better
grades and longer staples. De
mand for higher grade cotton is
to be greater this year than dur
ing 1942.

Aid Lumber Production
To stimulate production of lum
ber and other forest products re
quired for war and essential ci
vilian needs, WPB has set up a
program to:
1. Locate and transport labor.
2. Obtain greater employment
of women in the industry.
3. Locate stumpage for existir
operations and put operators i:.
touch with owners of merchanta
ble forest products.
4. Present draft deferme"'
'eeds of logging and milling ope
ratives before local Selective Sc*-
iee boards.
5. Present the needs of log>?i^

ration boards.
6. Present factual data wh^-
establishment or modification of
ceiling price is necessary.
Soft Wheat Flour Prices Up
Prices ^of soft wheat flour sold
by eastern, southern, and mid-
western millers and blenders were
raised approximately eight per
cent by the OPA, because of in
creased cost of wheat. Celling
prices will be placed on soft wheat
east of the Rocky mountains, to
prevent further rises in soft wheat
flour.
Transportation Bill Proposed
An emergency transportation act
has been proposed by ODT to the
South Carolina Legislature and
the other state legislatures in ses
sion to expedite war traffic. The
bill would confer / on a state gov

Columbia, March 8. — Effective
April 1, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture War Boards will assume
control of the slaughter of meat
throughout South Carolina, it
was announced today by R. W.
Hamilton, state AAA administra
tor, and R. E. Robb, state FDA
supervisor.
This meat control program,
It was emphasized, is designed to
curtail black markets, obtain
more meat for war needs, and in
sure fair distribution to civilians
preparatory to rationing of meats.
Uncfer the program, all slaugh
terers, including farmers and lo
cal butchers, must operate under
the slaughter permit system. All
live stock dealers will be required
to obtain permits to buy and sell.
When any farmer, butcher or
packer exceeds his quota during
the next three weeks, his quota
v/ill be reduced for later periods.
Farmers who slaughter solely
for home consumption will not
need permits, but if they plan to
sell any meat they slaughter,
they must obtain permits from
USDA War Boards.
Local botchers and meat pack
ers throughout the state will be
required to obtain slaughter per
mits from USDA War Boards, as
will meat dealers. Dealers will be
required to keep complete rec
ords, the announcement said, for
subsequent government inspection.
Slaughterers must keep com
plete records for later government
review, and all meat slaughtered
must be stamped. Meat stamping.

tongues, lips, snouts, ears, hearts,
cheek and heat, meat, stomachs,
weasand meat and heads), and
quick frozen, cuts which are de
livered to the retailer in individ
ual packages in which he sells
them.
Ceiling prices on pork must be
posted in each store beginning
April 1, and, upon request, the
retailer must give a customer a
receipt showing the date, name
and address of retailer, name and
weight of each pork cut sold, and
the price paid for it.
No Clothes Rationing
Elmer Davis, Director of the
Office of War Information, after
consultation with WPB Chairman
Donald Nelson and OPA Chair
man Prentiss Brown, stated that
no rationing of clothes is in pres
ent prospect. There is no short
age of clothing now, nor of the
textiles out of v/hich clothes are
made, according to these officials.
Lower Egg Prices
Fixed mark-ups which retailers
will use to establish their maxi
mum prices on sales of eggs to
the housewife have been set by
OPA. The mark-up is figured
over the retailer’s costs. This
action will lower prices this
spring somewhat under those es
tablished by the temporary freeze
of October, 1942.
Venereal Disease Control
The strictly military phase of
venereal disease control has re
cently been placed in the hands
of the Army and Navy, the Of
fice of Defense Health and Wel
fare Services said. Medical exam
inations and treatments in local
communities are delegated to
health authorities and made the

Questions And An-
• swers On Point
Rationing
Columbia, March 8.—Questions
most frequently asked about point
rationing were answered today by
the South Carolina Office of Price
Administration.
Q. I buy all my food from the
same grocer and order all my food
by phone. May I leave my ration
book at the store and authorize
the dealer to remove stamps for
the food I order?
A. Yes, you may authorize your
dealer to act as your agent in de
ducting stamps from your ration
book.
Q. What can I do if I get a
swelled can of food from my
grocer?
A. Return it, and ask him to
give you a perfect can to replace
it.
Q. Suppose I accidentally break
a bottle of food for which I have
iust surrendered a ration stamp.
Should my dealer replace it?
A. No. The loss for broken con
tainers is yours if you are re
sponsible for the breakage.
Q. If I have a surplus of can
ned corn and canned tomatoes
may I exchange these for foods
I need but do not have?
A. Yes. you may exchange can
ned goods of equal point value
with your grocer if he is willing,
or with neighbors and friends.
Q. If I have no need to buy
rationed foods during the first
month of rationing may I save
my stamps to use when I need
them?
A. No. Point stamps become in
valid at the end of each ration
period just like stamps for sugar
and coffee. *
Q. Are the smallest sizes of
food now rationed?
A. Yes, even the smallest size
cans of foods are rationed if they
contain foods included in the
rationing program.
Q. Is it more economical for
me to buy dry or canned beans?
A. If you can use either, dry
beans are more economical from
standpoint of ration points since
they increase in bulk when they
are soaked for use.
Q. What should be done with
the point ration books of men go
ing into service?
A. Ration books of men going

turned to local war price and ra
tion boards.
Q. If ration books of men eat
ing at an Army mess are turned
back to the war price and ration
boards, how can families get food
for them when they are home on
leave?
A. If they are home for a week
or more, local boards will issue
them ration certificates for the
length of their leave if they pre
sent their furlough papers.
Q. Do men in the Merchant Ma

their local boards when they ship

A. Yes. These books are surrend

is leaving the country for 30 days
or more. When he returns home
he may get the book from the
board for use while in the United
States.
