STUTIIETIC TIRES FOR THE FUTURE County Agent Warns Swine Producers To Beware Erysipelas BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER Entered 4 i The people of the United States have again been warned that suicide air raids by the Axis may still ha expected In the meantime another raider, fire, is working daily in our midst destroying millions of dollars worth of vital property. Whether a factory or a home is burned or bombed, the loss is the same. With warehouses now full of irreplaceable farm crops, and with vital war crops materials stored throughout the country, a warning should go out for every citizen to be doubly alert to fire hazards. All over the nation, possiblity of fire has been increased by housing developments of a flammable character, by war industries operating in buildings never intended to house! them, by storage of irreplaceable materials in warehouses where grass or trash fires constantly menace them, and by inadequate or inaccessible water supplies in areas never prepared for storage or production purposes. These are but a few of the fire risks common to every war congested area today. They are potential hazards as deadly as any bombing raid. Hog producers in Box Elder county should be on the lookout for outbreaks of swine erysipelis, warns R. II. Stewart, county agent who explains that the disease has become quite common in Utah during the past two years. Swine erysipelas la a contagious disease attacking all ages of pigs, states Mr. Stewart, adding that the symptoms vary in different outbreaks. In the acute form, the hog dies within a couple of days, while in the chronic forms the include rheumatism, symptoms swollen joints, peeling of the skin in patches, and a general unthrifty condition of the hogs. "The thing that complicates controls of erysipelas is that the disease bacteria lives indefinitely in the soil," points out Mr. Stewart. "Once a ranch is infected, it is difficult to rid the premises of the disease." Control of erysipelas is based on elimination of diseased hogs and providing clean disinfected quarters and uncontaminated pastures for newly introduced stock. In acute outbreaks, loss can be controlled by serum, but in chronic cases, serum is less effective. In case symptoms of the disease are observed in the swine herd, Mr. Stewart advises Box Elder county hog producers to call a veterinarian immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Mr. Stewart also warns that the disease is communicable to humans in the form of an erysipiloid skin infection, and suggests that farmers take care not to expose their hands In handling infected hogs. Medicated Political Candy on October 2, 1943, to encourage the full use of our supplies of farm service tires in vital food production, the regional Office of Price Administration announced today. Present regulations requiring a rationing certificate for new and used tractor tires have held back the desired flow of used farm service tires from dealers' stocks. Farmers who obtain certificates for a tire have preferred, as a rule, to purchase a new tire rather than a used one. Reports indicate that, as a result, the movement of used farm tires has been insignificant. Removal of rationing restrictions is expected to expedite moving these tires into service, OPA said. This action is taken in Amendment 51 to Ration Order IA, effective October 2, 1943. Along with numerous other measures which fall into the sweeping classification of social progress legislation, is the Wagner-Murra- y Senate Bill 1161. The fact that it makes provision for free genera medical, special medical, laboratory and hospitalization benefits for 110.000,000 people in the United States, makes it popular political candy. The measure is just another step in the totalitarian domination of the government theory of individual. It would give the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service the power to hire doctors and establish rates of pay; to establish fee schedules for services; to establish qualifications for specialists; to determine the number of $ individuals for whom any physician may provide service; and to determine arbitrarily what hospitals or clinjcs may provide service ior patients. 4 Anderson Mrs. J. and Joseph The bill provides that employers pay a tax on wages Mr. and daughter, Joyce, of Bountiful, paid to individuals up to $3,000 per year, of 6 per cent; spent Tuesday visiting relatives and that employees pay a tax deducted from waces on earned friends here.

FARM Agriculture Preparing For 19 U restricEasing of the rationingincreased on farm machinery, tions production of new farm machinery, and a campaign among farmers to "Keep your war equipment fit and fighting" are indications of plans now being laid by the War Food Administration to meet increased production goals for 1944. Suggestions for expanded wartime production have been sent for consideration to State Agricultural War Boards and other farm representatives. State Boards have been asked to set 1944 goals. The National program calls for a 380 million acres in Problems relating to labor, crops. machinery, supplies, conservation practices, and prices will be considered at 48 State meetings of state groups with representatives of WFA during October. such sales usually helps provide educational funds for club members. Potato Prices Ammunition Prices Set Ammunition for civilian use will be sold at or under prices prevailing in March, 1942, according to OPA ceilings which become effective October 7. Retail ceilings on boxes of 25 shotgun shells are $1.38 for 12 gauge and $1.32 for 16 and 20 guage. Retail ceilings on boxes of 50 rim fire cartridges are 34 cents for .22 long rifle and 21 cents for .22 short, regular.

These prices continue the general price level set for the spring crop of potatoes at the country shipper and Intermediate seller levels with allowances for graduated monthly increases to take care of storage charges. Because of the large crop this year, it is expected that potatoes generally will sell substantially below the retail ceilings. Easier To Get Pressure Canners Pressure canners may be bought for individual home use under liberalized regulations now followed by the local Agricultural War Boards. A persons who needs a pressure canner may apply directly to the local County Farm Rationing Committee for a certificate of eligibility or ask that previously filed applications be reviewed under the new rulings. .

ODT Warns About School Buses School buses may not be used to transport students to athletic games, state or county fairs, or similar events, the Office of Defense Transportation has stated. To Prepare Engines For Winter Antifreeze used last winter and saved for this winter should be tested. In time antifreeze loses its strength and its re-u- se non-corrosi- properties. Nearly all manufacturers of permanent types of antifreeze have made up acid and rust inhibitors for restoring resistance of used antifreeze. In adding new material, it is wise, the Office of Defense Transportation says, to use the same brand used in the first place. A free pamphlet entitled "Cooling System; Cleaning, Flushing, Rust Prevention, Antifreeze," that tells about the care g of systems in engines used in automobiles and farm equipment will be sent to those who request it.

Discounting any likelihood of en early collapse of either Germany or Japan, General Strang disclosed .that the German had replaced the 20 divisions lost at Stalingrad last winter, and that the German Luftwaffe was larger now than in 1939. He said also that the weapons the Germans are making are in some cases better than any which the United Nations have. motorist probably could not tell the difference, so far as appear-ance- s go, between the synthetic tire and the pre-wtire.
