Tliree crops in America have been designated as critical by War Food Administration: flax, dairy products, and sugar beets. O.P.A. haa said that "sugar is the mainstay of army combat rations ... we will have about , one-half million tons less sugar available for civilian use than in 1944." Moreover, More-over, each soldier actually consumes over twice as much sugar a year as the average civilian now receives . . . the home-canning program will have to get along with one-third less sugar than in 1944 ... there is not enough available shipping to bring in sufficient sugar from other areas for all our needs . . . mil itary and other governmental requirements of sugar will be larger than in 1944. THE PROBLEM: Willi tlie nation's sugar stocks lower at the first or 1915 than for many years, and with other producing areas unable to supply all ur essential needs, it's up to farmers in beet-growing districts to produce sugar leets to the limit of their ability to handle an enlarged crop . . . 49 more than last year, if we are to meet the goals set up by War Food Administration. The sugar beet goal for this district is 43 larger than 19 14's production. This year's beet acreage will have a direct bearing on future quotas for individuals and dis tricts when the quota provisions of the Federal Sugar Act again become effective at the end of the present emergency. Growers should protect future quotas by " planting maximum possible acreage in 1945. ' THE CHALLENGE: To meet this challenge will require the whole hearted co-operation of everybody farmers, farm workers, farm labor commit tees, volunteer workers, processors, federal, state and county war crop and labor committees and all other interested parties. The undersigned pledge their best efforts to meet this challenge. . . AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT AGENCY Orville L. Lee, Utah State Chairmau UTAH COUNTY AAA COMMITTEE G.

Sugar Injections Injtravenous injections of sugar are lused in the treatment of edema of the lungs, in certain types of pneumonia and for the treatment of certain types of head injuries where there is intracranial pressure. Potato Ston.ge The home garden potato crop may be kept in any number of ways, such as a windowed corner of the basement base-ment partitioned off for temperature regulation and darkened, a garage, a closet or unheated room in the house, or in a partly buried barrel covered over with straw or leaves and soil. Boxes and barrels are better bet-ter than baskets for stored potatoes, since they help to keep down shriveling shrivel-ing and protect them better against light, which causes green spots.

C Once aeain. next month, the scarlet emblem of the American Red Cross will appear in the windows o American homes, symbolizing the financial support of the nation in supporting the- manifold mani-fold services of that organization to American fighting men overseas. In every nation of the world, this redcross has long been the symbol of. universal humanitarianism, both In peace and in time of war. Today it i3 worn by medical corpsmen of all armies and navies serving the wounded. It protects hospital tents, ships, planes and trains. Painted on each of the International Red Cross ships bearing food parcels to prisoners pris-oners of war and exchanged prisoners prison-ers homeward, it is a guarantee of safety from acts of war. To the giver doing his part to fulfill ful-fill the $200,000,000 goal of the American Red Cross in 1945, it represents rep-resents his personal part in supplying supply-ing the material things which, add to the morale' of the American serviceman, ser-viceman, whether hospitalized or able-bodied. "The window sticker mean, more than dollars contributed to the Red Cross, Chairman Basil O'Connor declared. "It means service clubs canteens, recreation rooms and elub- mobiles for the men In war theatres To the American Red Cross, earh window sticker is a family's request to the Red Cross to continue its re sponsibilities on behalf of the son in Italy, the neighbor's bov half turn around the globe In the Philippines, Philip-pines, and the brother fiahtins an the Western Front, lt is the expres sion of faith of the American people o nee aaain this vor i m,u world-known scarlet symbol of mercy Will annsai. i ..
