Released by Western Newspaper Union. Storeroom Style Depends On Contour of the Land The most nearly ideal food storage space on the farm is the outdoor, underground cellar or cave. It is set all or part way into the ground, banked over with earth, floored and lined with masonry, and fitted with one or more ventilators for air movement. This type of storage provides the best natural conditions for canned fruit, pails or other tightly covered containers, as well as for whole fruits and vegetables. It also serves as a storm cellar for thj farm family. In some areas the bank cellar may be the best solution to the storage problem this fall. The bank cellar belongs on rolling ground. The lower part is masonry construction and is set back into the sloping ground. The upper part may be made of lumber, insulated in the upper walls and roof with sawdust or commercial insulation. Another useful storeroom and usually the simplest and best for the home with finished basement is the special storage room in the basement. A small room space, five or six feet wide and as long as may be Hundreds of grain elevators simi- lar to this one at Grafton, Ohio, are grain from thousands of farms across the nation. holding needed, is separated from the rest of the basement by a tight wall. A door is fitted into one of the partition walls. At least one outside window is needed so air circulation can be maintained and the temperature controlled to some extent. It is important that the basement room be insulated overhead and in the partition walls to cut off all possible heat transfer from the basement or from the room above. Agriculture in Industry By FLORENCE C. WEED Wormseed In one comer of Carroll county in the state of Maryland, farmers have been growing Wormseed for more than 100 years. Western farmers would likely not even recognize the plant if they saw it growing, although in its uncultivated state, it can be found in weedy areas over the entire country. From Wormseed is distilled Baltimore oil or wormseed oil which is used in the manufacture of disinfectants and sprays, in paints and lubricating oils, in the treatment of hookworm, and as a vermifuge for cattle. The plant is an annual which is sown in seedbeds in the early spring. In June, when the plants are six to eight inches high, they are set out in the fields, either by hand or with a mechanical planter which digs a small trench, drops the plant and waters it, then covers it with soil, all in one operation. The usual rate of planting is 3 feet by 14 inches, making about 2,400 plants to the acre.- Frequent cultivation keeps the weeds down until the plants ripen and the seeds turn brown and black. The plants must be harvested at just the right time, when not too green to have a high content of ascaridole, and not ripe enough jo shatter. After curing several days, the plants are hauled to the still and made into oil.

In Stalingrad, too, tough Red soldiers held off repeated Nazi frontal attacks. Northwest of the city Marshal Timoshenkos relief army hammered at the German flanks. The weather was beginning to break in favor of the Russians. Moscow communiques reported snows on the Stalingrad front and German reports admitted unfavorable weather was impeding their operations. Southward in the Caucasus the Germans ' kept up a effort to pierce the Russ defenses guarding the Grozny oil fields. Failing in their attempt to reach the coveted oil by a drive through the Terek valley, the Nazis had turned toward Nalchik. , three-mont- GUADALCANAL: FARM LABOR: Deferment at Last Nip and Tuck . It had become increasingly eviSteadily worse had become the dent that the Japs had massed a farm labor shortage. Drastic action more powerful naval force in the Solomons than the United States could assemble from a navy divided between two oceans. Moreover, the enemy had concentrated superior land and air forces in its supreme effort to knock out the United States defenders. Outnumbered on three sides by Jap forces with heavy artillery, tanks and supplies, American marines and army units on Guadalcanal Island fought doggedly to hold a small strip of land six miles long and three miles deep and to retain control of Henderson air field. Whether the embattled Yanks faced another Bataan was dependent on how soon planes, heavy weapons and supplies could be brought to Guadalcanal. That the Japs were paying dearly for every effort to dislodge the Americans from the airfield was evident from a navy communique which declared that enemy losses in men and equipment in troop actions on the island have been very heavy as compared to our own. Jap onslaughts were repeatedly thrown back. One attack pierced American lines south of the airfield, but prompt counterattacks recaptured the lost positions. The critical nature of the situation was revealed by mass landing of Jap troops indicating control of the Sea in the Guadalcanal area. With the sinking of the aircraft carrier Wasp reported in a communique, navy losses in the Solomons fighting were brought to 14 ships, including three heavy cruisers, six destroyers and four transport vessels.

The Presidents statement followed Wendell L. Willkies assertion that millions of people in Asia and eastern Europe were bewildered and anxious about Americas war aims and were asking: What about a Pacific charter? What about a world charter? Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that the Atlantic Charter declares among other things that the signatory governments, including Russia and China and all the other United Nations respect the right of all people to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them. -- SKIRT THUMBTACKED MacARTHUR: No Presidential Bee wise under it.

Purpose of the new regulation was to combat inflation and increase federal tax revenue on corporations. Control of all wages and salaries up to $5,000 yearly was given to the War Labor board. Under the regulations salary increases could be granted only in cases of individual promotions, individual merit raises, length of service raises, or under the operation of employee traihee systems. Jurisdiction over all salaries above $5,000 was assumed by the treasury department. After the order was issued, President Roosevelt instructed Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau to make future payments of his $75,000 a year salary conform to the regulations.
