Thus g becomes just one operation in good farming. Much attention has been given with to modern terrace-buildithe moldboard plow by field men of the Soil Conservation Service. A method they have developed is called the Island System because plowing starts with an unplowed strip or "island" onto which soil is moved to form the terrace ridge. These modern moldboard terraces are not to be confused with older, narrower types of water which had a channel or none at alL These are terraces with true broad-bawide, shallow water channel and gently curving ridge on which modern farm machinery is operated without difficulty, and which are easy to maintain in regular farming operations.

Less favorable feeding ratios and difficulties encountered in obtaining feed in deficit areas were listed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics as the factors causing the decline. National poultry goals for 1944 call for a 3 per cent reduction in 16 per cent reductturkeys, and ion in commercial broilers and a 4 per cent reduction in farm-floc- k poultry through proper culling. The output of baby chicks in December was estimated at compared with 29,276,000 during December 1942 a decrease of 26 per cent. Commercial hatcherecord in prodries set an uction of baby chicks in 1943 at 1,427,445,000 compared with 1,199,988,000 during 1942.

They were formerly obtained by filing applications with the War Production Board. Under the new procedure, a farmer will apply to his local farm rationing committee for a purchase certificate. If his application is approved, he will present the certificate to a supplier and take delivery of the unit. The rationing regulations do not apply to cabinet in which units are installed or to wpair parts, nor do they cover County of units for uses. the rationing Secretary of Give Reasons Agriculture Record food production in 1943, for the seventh year in succession, resulted primarily because farm people applied their skill, resourcefulness, and energy to the job as never before, and secondly because they tackled it cooperatively on plans worked out farm by farm with federal and state help from one end of the country to the other, U. S. Secretary of Claude R. Wickard points out in his annual report.

He also points out that there is enough feed to feed about as many cattle as were fed last year. The War Food Administrator is placing heavy emphasis on the job of managing our feed supply to the best advantage of the nation by conserving feed and securing the best possible results from feeding. Did You Know? Value of the U. S. corn crop last year was more than our entire wheat crop plus our entire cotton crop Including cotton seed, plus all our sorghums for grain and forage, plus all of our barley and rye.

REA passed the million mark in consumers served last year, although expansion was sharply curbed by war conditions which permitted only 60,628 new consumers to be connected for a total of 1,041,821. Make the Patterns Fit the Cloth "Make our livestock pattern fit our feed cloth," War Food Administrator Jones urges the nation's livestock producers. His appeal isn't for drastic cuts but for top feeding efficiency. First consideration Jones points out, should go to the egg and milk production and then to the production of every pound of meat that the remaining feed supply will permit. as in time of peace Wr Dried Egg Purchases Purchase by the Office of Distribution of WFA of 15,200,000 pounds of dried whole eggs for dee livery in February for use is part of a total expected purchase of 185,000,000 pounds in 1944 equivalent to 18,500,000 cases of shell eggs. RACC Loans In 1944 Loans made by the the Regional Credit Corporation in 1944 will be full liability loans, and will not be made in County War Board offices. War Boards will be asked to designate areas where such loans will be needed and may be asked to furnish information regarding production possibilities of producer applicants. County War Boards will make necessary forms available to applicants requiring them in thhe designated loan areas. i.
