Town And Farm
In Wartime
‘Write To Men In Iceland
“American soldiers in Iceland
are not getting nearly enough
mail from home,” said Chaplain
(Captain) Peter E. Cullom, who
recently returned to the U. S
after two years of duty with Ice
landic Garrisons. “In spite of the
fact that the army delivers the
mail with promptness and regu
larity to every arn^y post in Ice
land, folks at home are not tak
ing full advantage of this ser
vice/* Chaplain Cullom said.
More Farm Machinery
A total of 300,000 tons of car
bon steel, with other materials
in proportion, has been allocated
to the farm machinery program
for the quarter beginning July
1. An additional 200,000 tons of
steel have also been approved
for each of the three * quarters
from October 1, 1943, to July 1,
1944. During the third quarter
of this year, special emphasis will
be given to the manufacturer of
harvesting machinery for this
year’s crops. The whole farm
machinery program has been
stepped up.
Ice Box Prices
Betail price ceilings on new ice
boxes in South Carolina havei
been established by OP A* Pres
ent prices will be lowered in
many cases. Three sets of retail
ceiling have been provided; (1)
sales by ice companies and their
stores, prices ranging from $26.75
to $75.50 delivered; (2) mail order
sales—$18.95 to $59.95; (3) all
other sales at retail—$30.75 to
to $88.75.
Coffee By Mail
South Carolina coffee drinkers
who order their blends by mail
may now “pay” for the purchase
by enclosing detached ration
stamps with the order rather than
the entire ration book, OPA has
announced. Formerly, consumers
were required to forward their
i war ration book to the retailer i
1 or wholesaler for removal of
stamps. f
Inspection Requirements Changed
Tire inspections for South Car
olina farm trucks and other
commercial motor vehicles now
may be made every 5,000 miles or
every six months, 7 whichever oc
curs first, ODT has announced.
Previously, these vehicles had to
have tire inspections every 5,000
miles or every 60 days, which
ever occurred first.
Gas Coupons Changed

which replaces the present “X”

Over 2,000,000 cords of pulpwood are need
ed in 1943 to package food, supplies and
munitions for overseas shipment. Greater
quantities of pulpwood are necessary for
making rayon for parachutes; medical
dressings for treating sick and wounded sol
diers and sailors; blueprint paper for the
planning of submarines, ships and planes;
paper for shell cases; and a thousand other
new and old wartime uses.
\ our average pulpwood tree yields enough ni-
tro-cellulose to provide smokeless powder for
thirty-five 105 MM. shells or 7,500 rounds of
ammunition for a Garand rifle. Your cord of
pulpwood will make enough smokeless powder
.to fire two rounds in a 16-inch naval gun. Parts
for army and navy planes are shipped in paper
containers made from trees. Resin-treated wood
pulp is molded under pressure into airplane
parts.

Must Report Foreign Holdings
Every American citizen who had
an interest in any property in a
foreign country on May 31, 1943,
must file a special report on a
Form obtainable in South Caro
lina at Federal Reserve Banks.
Citizens in enemy-occupied coun
tries, or in foreign service with
the armed forces, or whose prop
erty in foreign countries is worth
less than $10,000 are not required
to make this report. The informa
tion so obtained will be of great
importance in the formulation of
post-war financial policies involv
ing this country and foreign a-
tions. The report applies both, to
tangible and intangible prop „ y.
Country Shipper Reports
South Carolina “country r up
pers” of dry beans, peas, and i-
tils must report their pure’ '-^s,
sales, and transfers for the r ^ th
of May to the Washington rf:ice

or lentils from a grower, or which
imports them for the purpose of
selling them to the who) :sale
trade.

Early Summer Notes
About Livestoek
Proper attention to livestock in
Tune is particularly important,
says County Agent G. W. Bon-
nette, giving brief suggestions to
guide farmers.
Animal Husbandry
1. Start hogs grazing soybeans
when beans are about 12 inches
high. 2. Build a creep and feed
beef calves some grain. 3. Treat
sheep for stomach worms every
two weeks if heavily infested. 4.
Market spring lambs when they
weigh 70 to 80 pounds per head.
5. Provide shade and fresh water
for all classes of livestock. 6. Mow
the permanent pastures to destroy
weeds. 7. Observe the livestock
for screwworm infestation and
give treatment if needed.
Dairying
1. Control flies by keeping all
manure spread on the fields. 2.
Cool milk and cream immediately
after milking to control bacteria
and undesirable odor and flavors.
3. Plant sufficient summer le
gume hay crops on grain stubble
land to insure an ample supply
for next winter. 4. Mow the pas
ture often enough to keep down
obnoxious weeds. 5. Sow pearl mil-
lit or sudan grass on a rich plot
close to the barn to graze or to
cut and feed green when pastures
are dry and short. 6. Keep an
abundant supply of fresh water
before the cows.
Poultry
1. Keep pullets on clean range
during summer months. 2. Pro
vide a range supplying an abun
dance of green feed. 3. Do not
push pullets into egg production;
feed a low-protein ration made up
mostly of grain. 4. Watch the
birds for lice infestation and ex
amine the sleeping quarters oc
casionally for mites. 5. If troubled
each fall with chicken pox cr
sorehead, vaccinate the pullets
when three to four months of age
to prevent an outbreak.
