According to OPA, which acted u?on instructions from Stabilization Director Byrnes an ’ Food Administrator Davis, there will be no further increases in corn prices during the 1943 mar ket season. The price raise is designed to relieve the present acute market shortage of corn for livestock and industrial proces sing. New Rules On Selective Service Chief effect of the recent changes in Selective Service glas sifications is the elimination of de pendency deferment except for: 1. Those who maintain bona fide homes with children, 2. Those whose induction would cause extreme hardship to a wife, child or parent, 3. Those with dependents who are necessary to and regularly en gaged in agriculture. Men formerly classified in in-A and m-B who had been defer/ed because of dependents will be re considered. Class m-B is elimi nated entirely. A child born af ter September 14, 1942, is not rec ognized as a “dependent” in clas sifying a registrant in Class m-A The new classification, III-D, will contain all men whose induction, in the opinion of their local boards, would create extreme hardship or privation for a de pendent wife, child, or parent. War Costs Go Higher A new high of more than 7 bil lion dollars was reached in war expenditures during March, when the average amount spent each day was $263,400,000. To meet these mounting costs of war, Sec retary of the Treasury Morgen- thau recently disclosed that the 13 billion dollar second war loan is part of 70 billion dollars that must be raised during 1943. “This is a people’s war, so all the people ought to have a part in financing it,” said the Secretary as he warn ed that “ten per cent is not e- nough.” Farmers Who Sell To Retailers A farmer who sells butter, lard, or any other rationed food to a retailer must collect ration points [ for the sale, just as he has done in selling to consumers since March 29, according to OPA. All farm sales must be made at cur rent point values and stamps col lected must be turned in to local ration boards with a report made on OPA Form R-1608. This form will be available to all local boards during the last week in April. The first report is due during the first fifteen days of May and will cover sales made between March 29 and the end of April. Women’s Land Army A women’s land army of about 60,000 city and town women will be recruited, as a part of the U. S. Crop Corps, to help meet the farm labor shortage. Ten thou sand of these women are expect ed to enroll for year-round farm work and about 50,000 for season al work for one month or more. Three hundred thousand women will be placed by country agricul tural agents for short-time emer gency jobs on farms—women who can spare week ends, a few days, or a few weeks, women who wish to' contribute their services should await the local call. Sugar For Canning Sugar for home-canning of 1943 fruit crops will be available 40 housewives on approximately the same basis as last season. No deduction of blue point stamps will be made from War Ration Book Two for canning sugar. De tails of the program will be issued within the next few days. Farm Values Up Farm real estate values on March 1, 1943, showed an increase of nine per cent over last year, the U. S. Department of Agricul ture has announced. This is the most substantial gain that has occurred since 1920. Land value increases during the past y ar were widespread, with some r d- vance reported for each of 48 states. Safe Canning Methods The steam pressure cannr • the only method recomm by the U. S. Department of riculture for preserving c< ’ in types of vegetables. Such vege tables as beans, peas, 1 u-n, spinach, and asparagus, as /ell as meats, should be cooked i 1 a steam pressure canner to kill or ganisms which cause food to 1 >oil. Fruits and tomatoes, rhubarb, and pickled beets may be safely can ned by the boiling water-bath method. To be safe, these prod ucts should', be boiled for at least ten minutes before they are eaten or tasted, even though there is no sign of spoilage when the jar V..KV>: v. iLs's how cf 7 BUS IN La WlfJ a 3 r * a ai4 ^ l " * *1 •U 4 v 4i *4 Tlfifff*!!

Tools of war have to be built before battles are won—and workers have to be transported to the war plants that are supplying our growing armies. That’s a big part of Grey hound’s wartime duties — getting workers to work, often many miles from their homes. Then, there are soldiers to carry to and from training camps or other military centers—on duty and on leave. And there are many others whose travel is essential to full war effort. If oil some occasion Greyhound service isn’t quite as convenient or comfortable as in the past, please remember that the war effort comes first—that the job of whipping the Axis has to be done at home as well as abroad.

Shoe Leather Released Certain types of leather, which had been frozen, have been re leased by WPB for the manufac ture of shoes. As a result of the action, more than one million pairs of women’s and girls’ shoes are expected to be made from genuine and imitation reptile leather. Natural colored retan leather was also released and manufacture of leather bows for shoes prohibited. Ceilings On Fresh Vegetables Retail ceilings for cabbage, car rots, lettuce, peas, snap beans, spinach and tomatoes will be es tablished beginning April 22 through the use of uniform mark ups over the retailer’s net cost, according to OPA. For each vege table except cabbage, the retailer will determine his ceilings by multiplying his net cost by 1.39. On cabbage, where spoilage is greater, the mark-up is 1.65 for independent retailers having an annual volume of $250,000 or less, J 1.54 for chain retailers with an i ) annual volume under $250,000 and 1.50 for any retailer with an an nual volume over $250,000. Retail ers will determine their ceilings each Thursday by applying given mark-ups to the net cost of the vegetable based on the largest single purchase of the preceding week. , Exempt Small Sales By Farmers A farmer who sells not more than $75 worth of foods per month to country shipoers or to consumers is exempt from price control recently established for seven fresh vegetables. If Hie farmer is a country shipper, he is subject to the price regulations. Higher Support Prices Support prices for dry beans, dry peas, peanuts, soybeans and ilaxseed have been raised, ac cording .to the War Food Ad ministration. Payments have also seen announced for Irish potatoes arid truck crops for production t *Qtween 90 per cent and 110 per ceint of farm goals. Revised Tire Regulations * Tire rationing regulations have been tightened to prevent boot legging and violations of tire in spection requirements. Changes ordered by OPA are: 1. Tire inspection record must be kept in the vehicle while it is in operation. 2. Tire inspectors will • report serial irregularities to the local rationing board. 3. If an applicant does not have a tire inspection record showing all inspection requirements com pleted, the local board may grant his application if an inspection was made 60 days before the ap plication was filed. 4. Dealers need not hold tires turned in for 30 days as now re quired if, before that time e- lapses, the tires are examined by an OPA representative and their disposal authorized. Fuel Oil For Canning rfousewifes are assured of c-1 nough range oil or kerosene for their home canning. OPA has au thorized the granting of fuel oil rations for operation of oil-burn ing cook stoves used for home canning purposes. Local rationing boards have been instructed to, issue necessary ration coupons if! the consumer asks for ten gal- j Ions or less. If more than ten | gallons is needed the ration will j be determined according to the number of hours the stove will! be used. “On The Farm” Wiring Farmers can now install farm stead wiring for operation of e- quipment at the same time utility service connections are being made. A farmer eligible for electric service under order U-l-C, and who has been certified by his U. S. Department of Agriculture county war board, can purchase up to 75 oounds of wire, i r necessary accessories, from r:y supplier, and is granted a pn once ra'ina- of AA-3 to obtain Foiut Values Lowered Because seme perishable . • 1 products were moving very si l OPA reduced by •-'ne or two vy the ration valuer of sausage (in- pludinff weinprs hnlnernn nork sausage), scrapple, chitterlings, and pork neck and backbones. Dry and semi-dry sausages—such as hard salami, hard cervelat, pepperoni, soft salami, thuringer, and mortadella—were not affect ed by the action. Woolen Fabric Production Production of woolen and* worsted woven fabrics in 1942. reached a new all-time high o| 525,000,006 linear yards. This i$' almost fifty per cent greater than in 1939. WPB has doubled quotas for essential civilian rics which is expected to make aty additional 75,000,000 pounds of! wool available for civilian needs. This is further assurance that there will be adequate supplies of ^clothing for civilians during the fall and winter of this year. Onion, Potato Maximums Raised Maximum prices on dry cnions and white potatoes of the l^t6 1942 crop for sale during Maty and June, 1943, will be ten cente higher than in April, the OPA has announced. The change in price is designed to spread avail-, able supplies evenly over the next three months. k Tires For Veterinarians Farm veterinarians can now get new tires as replacements even when the casings on their cars are recappable, according to OPA. They are also eligible for two mud and snow tires, in addition to their ordinary tires, to make travel easier and safer in bad weather. AT FIRST ^ 666 TABLETS. SALVE.
