"With water, we have two major responsibilities. The first is to maintain soil so as to provide water storage, and the second is to conserve water by efficient application on the farms.

Creating better homes for better living and sharing refor community sponsibilities improvement, important points club program for in the 1946, were also discussed in the recent meetings by extension specialists. Joseph C. Coulam, extension agricultural engineer, listed the following projects that should be immediately followed in repairing some of the older homes in the state: filling cracks in foundation and walls; replacing rotted and decayed timbers; repairing gutters and downspouts; repairing or replacing worn sashes and screens; reputtying windows and painting. A complete safety check of homes and farms was also by Coulam. In 1944, he said, about 25 percent of the accidental deaths in the United States occurred on farms, and 45 percent of farm deaths occurred in the home. Mrs. Effie S. Barrows, home furnishing specialist, declared that many returning service in men who are interested building homes are inquiring about small homes which can be built onto later. She told club leaders how small the homes can be made so as to be most serviceable and liveable. Integrating the house with its outside surroundings is one of the most important developments coming from landscape architects in the last few years, Laval S. Morris, extension architect, landscape said. He advocated general clean-up- , organization and order, the repair of broken structures, painting and making a plan of home grounds as some club memof the projects bers should be interested in.

While the most critical ths of the world food situation are those immediately ahead, there is a great need for other year of production from U.

Furthermore, our people may eat more per capita than at any time in their history, says of agrithe U. S. department cultures bureau of agricultural economics. Outside the United States, world food supplies per person for 1945-4will average 12 perr cent below levels. Latest figures indicate that per capita consumption in the United States during 1945 was 10 percent above The food outlook for U.

Program Farmers will have more leeway under the 1946 agricultural conservation program in choosing the practices they want to carry out on their farms, A. W. Bishop, A. A. A. county committee chairman, said today. Farmers of Box Elder county may now sign up for 1946, he said. This year, program funds will be allocated to counties as well as to states, and it will be up to farmers and local A. A. A. committeemen to get all the conservation they can for the money they have available. Bishop pointed out the several important provisions in the 1946 program. One is that no farm allowances will be established this year. is Another that, to earn payments, practices to be completed under the program must have the prior approval of the county committee. Also, he emphasized pooling agreements where a group of farmers can combine allowances in a common project. As in other years, A. A. A. committeemen will sit down and help each farmer plan the program for his farm. From a list of practices approved for Box Elder county, the farmer may choose those practices which his farm needs. In plans, county committees will give consideration to the needs of all farms in the county, in line with the amount of conservation money allocated to the county. . e oils, livestock and the needs of all people.

Early in 1918, apparently no wheat could be spared for export, for the U. S. was faced with a carry-ove- r into the next marketing year of only 30 million bushels. (This compares with about 150 million this year if the export program is met.) Yet the need of Europes war-tor- n peoples was desperate. So U.

Farmers in Box Elder county should not let the time slip by for filing applications for spring wheat crop insurance. The closing date for accepting applications is March 15, said A. W. Bishop, chairman of the county A.A.A. committee. Bishop pointed out that a crop failure that is not covered by insurance has its effect on the community as well as the individual farmer. Crop insurance protects the credit of the farmer and assures the community of his continued support of commercial and civic institutions. Whereas, a crop failure without protection too often leaves a farmer unable to pay his bills and sometimes leaves him on the mercy of the community for support of his family until he can get on his feet again. Therefore, it is a community as well as an individual responsibility to see that our wheat crops are insured, Bishop said.

These practices include greater use of phosphate fertilizer on legumes and pastures and the planting of more grasses and clovers. The need for wheat exports was met. People wpre asked to observe two wheatless days a week and to have one wheatless meal each day. Consumer sales of wheat flour were restricted to 25 pounds at a time for city people and 50 pounds for people in rural communities. And, to get wheat flour, consumers had to buy the same amount of wheat flour substitutes. These included all substitute flours, 1945. corn meal, corn grits, oatmeal e and rice.

The wheat goal a million has been increased acres for the nation. Increases have been asked for corn and soybeans, also. Increases in plantings of wheat will mean a heavy strain on the soil and delay reconversion to a peacetime pattern oi soil management, said Bishop, but the situation calls for continued all-oproduction. lOX ELDER Why? Because price controls in peacetime hinder the production of goods. Business cannot live by producing at a loss. And so, goods that cant be made to sell at the prices fixed by the government just don't get made. Nor will the raising of price ceilings solve the problem. W hen costs and selling prices are subject to change at any moment by government action, production has to be on a y basis. day-to-da- That means uncertainty output ... ... reduced more inflation. ISNT THIS THE ANSWER? Remove price controls on manufactured goods and production will step up fast. Goods will then pour into the market and, within a reasonable time, prices will adjust themselves naturally as they alin line with the real worth ways have of things. - - Competition has never failed to produce this result.
