BUYER MEET Clemson, April 24.—Many South Carolina farmers are seeking elec tric service under the War Pro duction Board’s newly liberalized regulations permitting connection to nearby rural power lines of farms engaged in livestock, dairy, and poultry production, W. J. Ridout, Jr., rural electrification specialist rf the Extension Ser vice, said here today. WPB’s revised farm service reg ulations reduced the number of animal units required per farm irom ten to five, greatly Increas ing the number of South Caro lina farms eligible for electric service under WPB regulations, he stated. The new five-animal unit mini mum bzings electricity within the reach of the small farm and is designed to increase food produc tion. Five animal units permit a farm service connection up to 500 feet. Another animal unit is required for each additional 100 feet. The maximum extension al lowed without special WPB per mission is 5,000 feet. An animal unit is a specified number of farm animals, such as one dairy cow, three brood sows, or 75 lay ing hens. A farm to qualify for service also must use one or more of the following electrical appliances: water pump for livestock, milking machine, milk cooler, brooder, incubator, feed grinder, and milk equipment sterilizer. Applications filed by South Carolina farmers for service from REA “systems indicate an inten tion to make extensive use of electricity in food production. For example, P. M. Neisler, in apply ing for service from the York County Electric Cooperative, of York, said electricity would be used in production of cattle, hogs, and poultry. There are 49,000 electrified farms in South Carolina includ ing 24,000 on the lines of the state’s 2£ REA-financed rural electric systems, according to of ficial USDA records.

War Ration Book No. 3 War Ration Book No. 3 will be distributed through the mails to more than 120,000,000 individuals beginning late in June and end ing July 21, the OP A has an nounced. Mailmen will leave post card application forms at every home between May 20 and June 5. The postcard, properly filled out by the head of the house and mailed to OPA, will bring Ration Book No. 3. Prentiss M. Brown, Price Administrator, emphasized that Book No. 3 is a replacement book only, containing a new sup ply of stamps to take the place of those now being used up. He said if any more rationing pro- ams were :iecessary there would official notice by the Govern ment. Loans For Saving Fuel South Carolina home owners who want to convert their oil heating equipment to use other fuels, or to install inside insula tion, weather-stripping, storm doors, or storm windows may get FHA loans on a delayed payment plan. Initial payments on loans made between April 20 and Sep tember 1 may be deferred until November 1, 1943, if the entire loan is used for such work. t Live Hog Ceiling Threatened Livestock producers and packers were told last week by Chester C. Davis, Food Administrator, that a ceiling would have to be establish ed on live hogs if ,prices did not adjust themselves in line with wholesale ceilings. He remarked, however, that the recent course of the hog market has been most satisfactory. More Soya Foods Edible soya products—the high protein foods soon to have an im portant place in both military and 'Civilian diets—are expected to reach 1 1-2 billions annually. The quantity available for civili ans will be many times as large as In the past year. Soya prod ucts have already played a sig nificant wartime role. Rich in valuable proteins, minerals and vitamins, they are already adapt able to large scale use as a hu man food to supplement meat, milk and eggs. Rationing Changes Farm fencing and peanut pick ers are no longer rationed; quota controls on milking machines, grain and forage flowers, portable and stationary elevators have been placed under rationing, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has announced. The 150,000 pressure cookers • which will be produced in 1943 will be rationed by County Farm Rationing Com mittees, to users showing greatest need for them. Community or ganizations composed of several families who agree to use a pres sure coker jointly will get first consideration. New Stock Feeds South Carolina farmers will be interested in two recent Depart ment of Agriculture discoveries. Poultry nutrition specialists have found that soybean- meal properly cooked is a promising substitute for meat scrap and other pro- ,ein feeds of animal origin. An other discovery is that good-qual ity home-grown legume hays, formerly considered too bulky for hog feed, may be used to reduce the amount of concentrates re quired in rations for growing and fattening pigs. Of three legumes tested, ground soybean hay gave the best results, when used for five to ten per cent of the total ration. Use Cast Iron Soil Pipe The use of cast iron soil pipe and fittings for sanitary drains in and under buildings should be continued as long as the supply of raw materials from which these products are manufactured is adequate, according to the plumbing and heating division of WPB. New Requirements For WA T ' 3 Under the new rules candi ates for the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps must have complete-a at least two years of educatic . in an accredited high school, and must score at least 60 in he WAAC mental alertness •te.L in order to be eligible. Previ ndy, there were no fixed educa nal requirmeents and the mini um score in the mental alei.ness test was 50. “Hold The Line” South Carolina farmers are now employed in an essential industry and cannot change to a job at higher wages unless the change is in the interest oi cne war pro gram, according to recent rulings To Hasten Victory No American wants this war to go one minute beyo*l the time we can bring it to a vic torious end. To hasten that victory—to save possibly the lives of millions of our boys ) on our far flung fronts—it is / imperative that every Ameri can do his part in the Second War Loan. There is an in vestment to fit every purse. The most you can do is little enough compared with the sac rifice offered by our boys in ’ service.
