What OPA hopes will ■ be the ast War Ration Book will be dis tributed through the school sys- o in South Carolina sometime in December, it was disclosed yes terday by District Director E. H. Talbert. War Ration Book Five is de scribed as being smaller than a dollar bill and containing just half as many stamps as the last book issued. At the same time the third gasoline “A” book will be issued to motorists, Mr. Talbert said. The new “A” book will go into use on December 22 and the new food ration book sometime early in 1946. In announcing the plan to dis tribute War Ration Book Five, Mr. Talbert declared, “It takes a .ong time to plan, print and ai- range to distribute a ration book. Ihat’s why we must arrange now for a book that will not be used mtil next year.” He added that OPA “hopes we von’t have to use anywhere near ill the stamps in Book Five,” but idded that, if necessary and if the present rate of validation of stamps is continued, the book eould last “about 15 months.” Soap Stretcher Action. The OPA, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, has announced a plan it hopes will stretch the available supply of heavy-duty packaged household soaps in chip, flake, powdered, granulated and similar forms. Manufacturers have been in structed to reduce the anhydrous soap content of their product by the addition of water-softening materials. The formula changes are not expected to affect the serviceability of the soaps, OPA said, adding that consumer “I have heard about strip rotations saving valuable topsoil, but after our two 3 inch rains in May I saw how it kept soil from washing on my own farm,” said J. L. Bracknell recent ly. About three years ago, Mr. Bracknell, and his scih, Bill, along with their farm overseer, Mr. I&arden, visited a neighboring county to see some soil conservation work with the late E. L. McKesson. Mr. Bracknell decided to put in some sericea on the steeper parts of a roll ing field, the rest of the field to be planted in a strip rotation of cotton and grain. Every other terrace (interval) is planted to oats and vetch which is followed by annual lespedeza during the summer. The terraces between these strips of grain are planted to cotton. In a rotation like this the grain-lespedeza is fol lowed by grain which allows the lespedeza to come volunteer the second year. Then this is . followed by cotton for two years, then back to grain and lespedeza all over again. A similar rotation using corn instead of cotton is just as effective. “I had been running this field in strip rota tion since 1942 and really didn’t see the real need for it until tjjose two 3 inch rains which we had last May. Even these rains coming close together didn’t do my strip rotated field any damage at all. I didn’t even have any washing between terraces, and look right over on my smoother lands how it washed out even between good terraces. I see the value of this kind of rotation now and I’m going to use it on all my steeper land from now on.” Mr. Bracknell has conservation plans with the Savannah Valley Soil Conservation District' and is gradually putting in the practices which have been planned for his various farms. District Cooperator S. O. Bouknight has made wonderful improvements on his farm on the McCormick-Troy Highway. One of the soil conserving practices can be seen in his big field next to the highway. The field has been ter raced with his farm equipment and is stripped with grain and row crops. Every other ter race is planted to oats. “Those heavy rains last May didn’t do that field any damage but they played thunder with my other fields that were planted solid to cot ton, and I had good terraces there too!” 1 didn’t like strip rotations until I see now how much good soil it saves. It saves a whole lot of labor in repairing terraces too. My whole farm will be-stripped another year!” Mr. Bouknight has planted the steeper parts of his fields in kudzu and sericea, and works (he rest of his open land in alternate strips of grain and row crops. He works most of his farm with tractor and heavy equipment and has no trouble in working or harvesting the crops. He says he’s going to straddle the ter races with the grain strips next year and have only long rows in the cultivated parts of his fields. If you want to know how to do away with all those short rows between terraces, get in touch with E. W. Crouch or G. W. Bonnette. I hey will be glad to help you. Mr. Bouknight is using a four year rotation so as to take advantage of letting lespedeza seed volunteer the second. This saves seen, labor and usually gives a much better stana and more growth. ings would be so small if prices ! truck tires for civilian motorists, exactly the same as for July, and a reduced quota of large truck tires were announced yesterday by OPA District Director E. H. Talbert, in Columbia. “It will be a long time before new tires can be granted to “A” books holders,” Talbert advised. “It should be emphasized that these motorists may have to roil along for a long time on their present tires and should use ev ery conservation aid.” He recommended, 1, having tires recapped while they can still be saved; 2, check tires and air pres sure frequently; 3, drive carefully at the victory speed limit of 35 miles per l>our.
