Peterson Tractor Service Higher Feeding Efficiency Increased efficiency can solve part of the feeding problem, WFA officials say. They point out that if the rate of feeding can be held of midway between the a ton of concentrates fed during 1911-4of and the a ton during 1942-4production goals of 1944 can be achieved with use of only 140.7 million tons of feed concentrates. This would be about 7 million tons less than last year. Tremonton ALBERT EARL, Mgr. two-thir- MtSm km -- l"ood Losses 'ery Small Less than one penny's worth has been lost through spoilage out of every $300 purchase of food stock stored by WFA since e of the program in March of 1941. Three categories of food Inventories are in commercial storage today the largest being privately owned and destined for distribution to civilians. The second category consists of stocks owned by the military forces for which detailed data aie not made public. The third includes stocks stored by the Food Distribution Administration for WFA, These stocks are e used for purposes and for emergency use by the military. s During December, 7,566,817 hogs were slaughtered in the United e States to set an record for any month. New December slaughter records also were set for cattle, calves, sheep, and lambs. There were 1,190,853 cattle slaughtered, 528,755 calves, and 2,257,-93- 6 sheep and lambs. Lend-Leas- Biddy Uoes UtT Bit and More g Among the many achievements on the agricultural front during this war, few are more spectacular than wartime egg production. Not only has the number of laying: hens reached new highs, but production per hen is now 26 eggs a year more than the average during the first World War. Total egij production in this country last year was about 35 per cent above the 1930-3- 9 average. Better breeding, feeding, and housing are the principal leasons for the increase. About 12 per cent more eggs were marketed in 1943 than in 1942, and production in 1943 was about twice that of 1918. The 1944 goals add up to 4 'billion, 597 million dozen a two per cent increase ovei 1942. This will be enough to supply each of our fighting men with an egg a day and civilians with 347 eggs a year. The remainder will go to our allies. A little more than 11 per cent of the 1913 supply went abroad which was the largest shipment of any food except pork. ftgg production has begun to increase seasonally and will reach a seasonal peak in April. Heavy production go under way early this year. The "open winter" gave the liens the impression that spring wxs just around the comer. record-breakin- ds hs 3, all-tim- In recent weeks, department Agricultural News Bits Mexico has renewed its restrictions on cattle exportations to the United States. As a result, the U. S. will be limited to 500,000 head in 1944, the same amount allowed last year. Mexican government took the action to stabilize domestic beef supply and price situation. of- ficials have made such suggestions as the following in regard to feeding efficiency: light hogs can be produced with less feed per pound than heavy hogs; more eggs can be produced with less feed by culland ing out more of the keeping a larger percentage of pullets; beef cattle should be fed shorter and lighter; and more dependence should be placed on roughage for cattle and sheep. Protein Meal Distribution Directed distribution by the War Food Administration of oilseed meal from the January allocation has been made on the basis of requirements after taking into account- the amounts distributed by the trade. Requirements are arrived at by adjusting normal use to present livestock numbers, seasonal variations, and emeigency conditions. It has been possible to direct amounts equaling about half of the deficiency indicated in the various areas. The amounts of oilseed meal directed to a given area naturally will vary as the season progresses. An order has been issued covering February production similar to the order requiring processors to set aside 20 per cent of the January production for directed distribution by WFA. It is expected that the February allocations will be available the latter part of January for state distribution. As in January, the trade will continue to own and distribute 80 per cent of the oilseed meal. Prior to January, the trade owned and distributed the entire production. non-laye- rs agricultural k ir: ""'v.tl'-- W X. alse Lend-Leas- first-quart- T u3 Assassins who made murder lig.cn, to ILltiics v. ho proviH I for Old Testament heror-- er ' k 8 iv J r A WALL-TOi- G ymstont none INSULATION 2m Z7Vi 1 Regularly 2.79 Roll Dries in One Hour I On Coat Covers I Covers Any Surface I Washes Easily I Sq.

Such a movement should, bring 40 million bushels next 4 months. During 1943, approximately 185 million bushels of grain were transported over the Great Lakes to U. S. ports. It is planned to step up this movement to 285 million bushels in 1914. Canada still has a large supply of wheat, possibly 300 million bushes above its estimated requirements and essential reserves. -- One-Piec- e $ Coveralls Sanforized 99 Shrinkproof 1 Concealed Buttons ' Container Shortage Warning It will be necessary for used wooden containers to fill a 10 to 20 per cent gap this year if 1944 crop yields are normal, the War Food Administration advises. salvage will be of great importance to fruit and vegetable growers and handlers. The outlook .iL is dark for egg crates of all kinds, meat packing boxes, open mesh bags and similar containers. The shortage of wooden containers is due to a general scarcity of commercial wood and lumber products wi to the fact that use of lumber for packing and shipping has Increased over 300 per cent since tha war started.

Foimerly processed from man-ilsisal and henequen, binder-twin- e became a critical commodity when the Japs overran the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, our major source of supply. Experiments have been conducted with various substitute materials since that time. Last year, the War Production Board provided manufacturers with cotton yarn which was combined with henequen to produce a satisfactory twine. Cotton is not available for this purpose in 1944, however, and the henequen-jut- e product was developed to meet bindertwine requirements. The Hew twine uses 87J per cent henequen, a fibre imported from Central America, and 2 per cent jute fibre, imported from India. WPB" and USDA subjected the twine to numerous tests in Iowa corn fields and in the rice fields of Louisiana, and found it very satisfactory. a, .... COMBINE MOTORS POWER UNITS ....
