Chance for Economy Congressman Charles S. Dewey of Illinois, as long ago as May, 1943, made it very clear to everybody in "Washington who attended his words that literally millions of dollars could be saved by printing smaller bonds. There are some exceptional1 ly wise men in Congress. In most cases the title "Honorable" is as ap1 propriate as it is proper. Congressmen are above II the electorate or somebody else would have their seats, and Rep. Dewey won my esteem with one f.:r. short talk, a talk on Government Economy. When Calvin Coolidge was President, Mr. Dewey was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, charged with supervising the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which was a figurative headache to all concerned. The routine remedy recommended was to spend $10,000,000 for additional printing equipment in order to increase the plant's output of paper money 50 percent as demand seemed to require, but Coolidge said, "No." Then again did Mother Necessity Lr,.i3 bring forth an invention, and Mr, Dewey found a better way. 25 Pvt.

Bishop Milton Marble, of Bothwell, was the official visitor at the Scout Court of Honor Sunday night. He also delivered a very timely and interesting address. Dell Summers gave some fine xylophone selections which were appreciated. The program given by the boys was not only interesting, but also" instructive. The talks and music were well prepared. A" number of boys received merit badges and pins showing achievement in varied lines of work. There was much interest shown in the Green and Gold Ball last Thursday. The crowning of the queen, Miss Colleen Miller by the Bishop was the highlight. Her attendants were Misses Rayola Andreasen and Leola Romer. Little LaVar Franoom was crown bearer and Dorene Brough and Joan Francom as flower girls. It was a beautiful procession. The floor show was well given and appreciated, Mr. and Mrs. A. A.

Mother and babe are at the hospital in Brigham City An estimated 441 feredal government publications are being' turned out by a large corps of employed publicity men whose activities entail the use of an increasingly large amount of newsprint at a time when the government is asking private publishers to cut their consumption of newsprint, Representative Marion T. Bennett, of Missouri, charged recently. In a speech on the House floor the Missourian charged that the federal government is the nation's "No. 1 Publisher," asserting that even the government Printing Office and the Office of War Information do not know the number of agency publications being turned out daily, weekly, monthly, and annually. "The only purpose of many of them (publications) is to advertise the agency which puts them out and to drum up public and congressional support for a continuation of the respective agency's particular brand of alphabetical bureaucracy," Mr. Bennett stated. August E. Giegengack, the Public Printer, esTimated that in the 1943 fiscal year, federal agencies used 161,611 tons of newsprint, or 40 per cent more than in the fiscal year. "At the same time private publishers have suffered a 15 per cent cut in paper supply," Mr. Bennett pointed out, adding that publishers "are now faced with a 23 per cent cut, and the nation is engaged in another scrap paper salvage campaign."

Labor Needs of Agriculture The largest single increase in total labor requirements is the seasonal demand in agriculture, according to a recent War Manpower Commission survey of the nation's manpower needs for the first half of 1944. Between Janu-uar- y and July about 3.4 million persons will be needed for farm employment. The bulk of this labor will be supplied by women and young persons.

Limited use of oners on farms was beun Record Egg Crop Expected Three out of every four eggs to be produced in 1944 have been allocated to civilians, the War Food Administratin announced. The anticipated supply of eggs this year, possibly exceeding billion, is based on the potential production of the greatest number of laying hens on record in the United States. 1. t - The War Food Administration has recently issued an review of the American food and agriculture record for 19 13, calling attention to the fact that the achievements on the home front farms rival our great success on the military front although we cannot see that by looking at a map and comparing battle lines. In 1913 the nation's record output of food was 32 per cent above the 1933-3- 9 average. It was 5 per cent above the record of 1942. It was 50 per cent above previous all-tiany year's production during the other World War. The 10 per cent increase above 1912 in livestock production more than offset the 10 per cent decrease in food crop production which resulted from smaller jields due to drought conditions, notwithstanding a larger acreage. Egg production was at a record level and milk production was higher than in any year except 1942. Livestock production was 8 per cent above The 1942 and one third above the 5 year average 1937-4year ended with the largest livestock inventory in lustory. The 1944 production goals call for 16,000,000,000 additional acres, or about 4 per cent above the 1943 acreage, a total planted acreage of 380,000,000 acres, the largest ever planted in the nation's history. While it will be necessary to bring the livestock and feed production more nearly into balance, our meat supply is made more hopeful by the fact that we had more livestock and poultry numbers on January , 1, 1944 than ever before. x prS Impresidve research results that have come out of the laboratories, iield plots, and experimental kitchens of the Department of Agriculture include the release in a single year of 35 new varieties of strains of crop plants, stepping up production of penicillin, developing methods by which sheep can dose themselves for intestinal worms by taking worm medicine in their salt, curing Cheddar cheese in half the time previously required, revolutionizing ways of fighting insect scourcc-s- , and developing recipes so that new soybean products may be used to supplement scarcer foods.
