ter, margarine, cheeses, lard,

War Ration Book Five. .
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.
