Show Farmers Urged To Conserve Burlap Sacks "Use no hooks" is the theme of efforts beng made by the Utah USDA War Board to coaserve the dwindling supply of burlap bags and cloth. Imports of burlap from far-away India have been reduced to a trickle since Japan's sneak-attack in the Far East last month. Of that slight amount of burlap still being imported, two-thirds is being be-ing taken by the Government for military purposes. Sidney J. Netxker, chairman of the State USDA War Board urges farmers to make special efforts to extend the life of their burlap sacks "because there is no telling ' when they will be able to get any more." He adds "Farmers cain save them.ives a lot of afony by cons'Tving the cloth they al-! al-! rracH' have on hand." The War B'-ard is urging farmers farm-ers to refrain from ripping their , burlap sacks when opening them, to use no hooks, and to hang them in dry. protected places for later use. Used bags can usually ' be sold to the dealers from which ,'they were received. |
