COUNTS. ; . - The information, included in this column is fresh from Washington where the Home demonstration agent was summoned very unexpectedly and on very short notice to attend a one day conference and a two day garden meeting. We were kept so busy while there that we feel and hope you will share the feeling with us that we have a big job before us and we should get to work. We quote belcw an address by Secietary Wickard: “Our national fate will be settled on the field of battle. But whether our brothers and sons and nephews and cousins who do the fighting are victorious depends on hard work by each of us in producing the essential goods for making war. Equipping one man for service in the modern fighting force requires the services of a scoie or more civilians. One indis- pensible line of war production is food. The fighters need food, and the workers who help equip the fighters need food to make possible the top performance which is de manded by the danger we are facing as a Nation—and the danger that many of our men are facing as indi- 1 viduals. i “We all know that vegetables make. an essentia! contribution to better nutrition, and thus to the health and strength of all our people—and to the virility of the Nation. It’s because we recognize these things that we’ve gathered here. “In general—the 1942 production goals call for more milk—and we need to convert more of that milk in to cheese, evaporated milk and dried skim milk; we need more eggs, and more pork; we hope beef cattle raisers will market more of their cattle in 1942; we need more canned vegetables; we need more oil from peanuts and soybeans. “Several months ago—the free peoples of the world received a new inspiration for the symbol of V—for Victory. I think we might add a couple of more V’s in our planning for a Nation garden program. Let’s make it the three V’s—Vegetables for Vitality for Victory.’’ USED TIRES\ALL ALLOWED TO CITIZENS ATTEND SUGAR BOWL GAME IN NEW ORLEANS Among those from Newberry who attended the Sugar Bowl game New Year’s Day in New Orleans were, Mr. and Mrs. Clem Youmans, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Don Rook, Mr. and Mrs. Ellisor Adams, Mr. and Mrs. George Dominick, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hayes and Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Brown.

Fanners May Be Asked to Grow Dandelions Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 26.—Ameri can farmers may be able to help solve a crude rubber shortage by large- scale cultivation of a rubber-bearing dandelion plant, Agricultural re searchers disclosed today. Discovered in Russia, the plant known as kok-sagzy is grown there exclusively now. It resembles the yellow-flowered dandelion of the Unit ed States and could be produced on American farms almost as easily and pnolifically as that of its lawn-menac. ing cousin. Source of Supply Cut Off Those findings announced by the National Chemurgic Council, scienti fic agricultural research group, came as the United States’ loss of its Far Eastern crude rubber supply grew more imminent in the light of Paci fic war developments. Dr. Paul J. Kolachov, who investi gated the possibilities of new rubber supply sources in the U. S. for the council, reported that “Kok-Sagzy is a highly adaptable plant. It is read ily acclimatized and can be cultivat ed in a wide variety of soils. The rubber in this plant is easily utilized in manufacturing, as compared with that of other plants.” Roots from which the milky lutex juice is derived can be harvested at the end of the first or second year. They yield 160 to 200 pounds of crude rubber per acre.” Kok sagzy develops a maximum yield on highly structural black soil in localities with at least 20 inches of rainfall yearly distributed heavily in April, May, July and September. The United States, which uses half the world’s rubber supply, will in crease synthetic rubber production to about 70,000 long tons next year, far below the normal consumption of nearly a half million tons. Farm researchers said the U. S. undoubtedly could cultivate the dan delion plant and produce crude rub ber for considerably less than 40 to 50 cents a pound production cost for synthetic rubber. “Unlimited acreage and 30,000,000 farmers are available to us,” added Dr. Kolachov. “A comparatively small fraction of these resources is required to secure a domestic supply of rubber for war and peace re quirements. The means has been found; the application is vital.” CHARLIE LOMINICK INJURED Charlie Lominick, member of the county board of commissioners, was painfully injured Wednesday night of last week when the car in which he was riding was in collision with another at an intersection on the cut-off road.
