If he can't show one, he is lawbreaker. Points to remember in the fight against black markets, according to Wilford A.x Schmutz, are: (1) Farmers who buy and sell livestock live-stock should keep records of sales and purchases; (2) Farmers who slaughter for sale must get slaughter permits from the war board and cannot sell more meat this year than in 1941; (3) All meat sold by farmers must show permit numbers; (4) Farmers who sell meat and butter direct to consumers must collect ration stamps and turn them over to the war price and rationing board each month. Washington county farm families fami-lies this week are receiving "Certificates "Cer-tificates of Farm War Service", signifying full-fledged war-time enlistment of their farms in the 1943 food for freedom program, Wilford A. Schmutz announced. |
