Will he be able to grow and market the huge record crops of wartime? Will his land stand up under the stress of huge crops year after year? Early surveys indicate that the sturdy sons of the soil were already thinking out these problems in the midst of completing another amaz ing record harvest of food and fiber last year, according to the War Food administration. Problems of volume of crops and adequate markets must await post war developments, but both the American farmer and Uncle Sam are prepared to make necessary ad justments that will retain for the farmer the stability he has enjoyed during the war. First on the list of rural postwar planning to maintain production are rest and rehabilitation of the na tion’s soil, reports show. Despite care to preserve the land better than in World War I, continuous years of record production have taken their toll. But WFA points out that farming for war has clearly demon strated the value of conservation practices as protection for the soil, as well as an aid to increased yield and highei quality crops. Acre yield in 1943 was 23 per cent greater than in 1935, the year be fore the government’s conservation programs began to receive special emphasis. The 1944 harvest indi cates a probable acre yield 6 pei’ cent more than last year, or about 29 per cent higher than the 1935 figure. More than half the entire land area of the United States is in farms, a total of 1,060,852,000 acres This includes cropland, rangeland and woodland. About 530.131,000 acres are available for crops. More and more farmers have learned to protect their land from erosion by strip-cropping, contour ing and terracing. They are replac ing minerals and other soil nutri ents depleted by constant cropping, and are using soil rebuilding crops and other conservation practices to protect and enrich the land. Boost Yield in Idaho. Out in Idaho, for example, on five acres of land where sweet clover was turned under, the per acre har vest of potatoes last year was 5,991 pounds greater than on the rest of the field where no green manure was used. Similarly, contour farm ing with intertilled crops in the north central states raised the com yield 5.3 to 12 bushels per acre, and in the southern states increased cot ton yield 29 pounds per acre. In addition, this practice was reported to have resulted in a national sav ing of soil ranging from 1.5 tons to 126 tons per acre per year. Emphasis, during the war, of necessity has been on such better farming methods as would give im mediate results in increased yield and be simple to put into effect, WFA points out. Postwar farming will turn its attention to the longer- range practices, the more complex measures that may take additional labor and money, and a longer time to complete, but which bring more lasting returns and make for a bet ter balance of land and use. Expansion of irrigation is ex pected to be one of the important larger conservation practices which will receive additional emphasis, particularly in the far west states. So important is planned irrigation to the productivity of western farm ing, says WFA, that the irrigated area, which includes only about 3 per cent of the land in farms and 11 per cent of the cropland, pro- Your last and best beauty note should be glowing, courageous, ex citing!

One benefit of a well-planned and executed conservation program on a farm is that fewer acres need to be planted to produce the same size harvest taken on land farmed with out conservation practices. This means that a farmer, by using the right practices for his land, can rest one acreage while producing on an other, yet get the same amount of a crop that in “pre-conservation” days required planting of the entire acreage. In this way, all his soil will be kept in tip-top condition, he will get the crops he needs, and they will be of a higher quality and bet ter nutritional value. Sommer Fallow. Most successful farm plans in areas such as the Pacific Northwest and the western portion of the Great Plains include summer fallow as a regular part of the year’s program, according to WFA. Experimental results in Oregon and Idaho show in creases of 19.3 bushels and 19.1 bushels of wheat per acre, respec tively, on fallow, compared to the return from land under continuous cropping. A group of West Virginia farmers reported that forage production in creased 57 per cent on their farms from the application of a ton of ground limestone and 180 pounds of triple superphosphate per acre. At the same time, the protein content of the forage increased more than 40 per cent. Some 3,650,000 farms last year carried out one or more practices under the Agricultural Conservation program administered by AAA. A considerably larger number is esti mated as participating in 1944. The success of these practices, as war time measures, can be expected to influence not only these men but their neighbors as well in carrying out a postwar conservation pro gram. Raising Okra for Oil Seed May Be New Southern Crop Okra is emerging as something more than a vegetable of debatable merit, and is making a bid as a major oil crop for the south. This plant belongs to the cotton family. Its fruit is a pod, 6 to 10 inches long. Usually the pod is picked when green, before the seeds have set their oil. In dry okra pods, however. Dr. Julian C. Miller, Louisiana State university’s noted plant geneticist, discovered seeds which produced abundant oil, equal in food quality and wholesomeness to cottonseed oil, and suitable also for use as a drier in paint. In addition, the okra fiber is long and tough, many have a place in making cordage. Both the fiber and the pithy material surrounding the seeds may prove, a source of cellulose similar to peanut hulls. Dr. Miller promptly began breed ing new varieties of okra, to be harvested for seed, rather than to be used as vegetables, has come up with an okra which yields 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of seed per acre, with the seed having an oil content of 18 to 22 per cent. This means okra may produce 180 to 440 pounds of oil per acre, against a production of 50 to 80 pounds of oil per acre from cottonseed. "GAY GADGETS" Associated Newspapers—WNU Features.

Numberless soldiers and sailors have been cheered by the smile and interest of a hostess they have danced with and talked with. They have gone out of the coun try, to battle stations, cheered by the smile of “the girl at the Stage Door Canteen.” There are many, many types of volunteer war work for young girls, and every girl should do something to help win the war—roll bandages, spot airplanes, donate blood, work in any of the volunteer agencies or be hostess at the service clubs.
