Milk producers will get higher returns in March and April from these payments, the County AAA Office reports, when rates for the county (and the entire state) will .be 60 cents per hundredweight on fluid milk and 8 cents per pound for butterfat sale3. Since these payments are made to offset higher feed costs, tentative plans of the War Food Administration contemplate that a seasonal reduction will be made in the payment rates for the months of May through August War needs for dairy products have increased and producers are being urged to increase production per cow. Better pastures can contribute greatly toward increasing the milk supply just as unfavorable pasture conditions contributed to the decline in the nation's milk production in the last half of 1943. No Potato Famine This Year About a year ago a potato was replace rotenone. WFA has revised the pyre tii rum order to authorize the director of the Office of Materials and Facilities to determine specific uses for which pyrethrum will be available. menus in many parts of the country, while this year, stocks are so ample that consumers are being urged to "step up" potato consumption and lower grades are being diverted to other war roles. Butter Purr-has- " Orlder Calcium Arsenate Now The War Food Administration is urging growers to place orders immediately for calcium arsenate supplies necessary to safeguard cotton crops. The overall supply of the insecticied is adequate, but transportation and labor shortages may not permit deliveries to save infested crops. Calcium arsenate is used to control boll weevil, cotton lleaf worm, and boll worm. It is also used in sulphuric mixtures to control the cotton flea hopper.

Inoculant Supplies Adequate Supplies of inoculants for legume crops for 1944 are adequate to meet existing needs, according to the War Food Administration. The inoculants are made from bacteria found in the root nodules of leguminous plants which assist the plant to obtain nitrogen from the air. The more efficient nodule bacteria have been isolated and cultivated in the laboratory and are sold commercially. Legume inoculation will increase ton per hay yields up to acre and fix 50 to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Seed sufficient for about 10 million acres is treated each year at a cost of 10 to 25 cents per acre. It is estimated that legumes and their bacteria add between one and two million tons of nitrogen to plants and soils in the United States each year, compared with 625,000 tons of chemical nitrogen expected to be used in fertilizer during the 1943-'4- 4 season.

Rotenone Order FPO-1which governs the wartime use of the insecticide has been liberalized to include a number of crops not permitted rotenone last year except In emergencies. These are cabbage, asparagus market shoots, peaches, grapes, small fruits, strawberries, raspberries and other brambles, currants,, gooseberries, cherries, and blue berries. Rotenone will also be available for farm and victory gardens, and for cattle grup and louse control, and on lambs for sheep ticks. Rotenone also will be used this year against Insects formerly controlled by pyre thrum, since only as much pyre thrum will be available for agriculture this year as last, when the supply situation was reversed and was used in some areas to prye-thru- m Phone 11 I . r 1 irtj Cornwall, Mr. and Mrs. Einor evening.

Farms Aid Russian Ad valu es Farm folks in this country can take added satisfaction from Rus- sia's inroads on Hitler's armies with the realization that they have added punch to the Russian drive with food, trucks and seed. Large quantities of food have gone from this country to maintain the Soviet Army rations. They have consisted chiefly of wheat and flour; dried peas and bean, desugar, meat in cans, cured and milk, powdered forms, hydrated dried eggs, dehydrated vegetables, and substantial quantities of lard,, pork fat and vegetable oils. Our 580,000 tons of fats and oils were especially important during the winter offensives carried on in o weather. We put 30 per cent of our total food supply in 1943 into the Russian offensives. Indirect contributions to the Russian food supply were made in the form of 9,000 tons of seeds. By keeping old trucks in service, farmers contributed toward the 170,000 trucks sent to Russia up to the first of the year. Twice as many trucks were sent in 1943 as in 1942 to help meet the advancing Red Army's transport and supply problems. non-far- fr Wi at a house warming and present. tained in 1943 for wool if no support program had been available, as comparable grades of foreign wool were readily available at lower prices. Army orders, which provided the chief outlet for domestic wools, declined sharply in 1943.

Uerger points out: "There has been over emphasis on speed and gallonage at the expense of efficiency. Some distillers get only about 2 J gallons of acohol per bushel of grain, while others are getting nearly 6 gallons. There should also be an incentive for a distiller to dry out his distiller's grains for feed purposes. This Is not being done now in all plants." Latest WPB estimates call for bushels of varabout ious grains to make industrial alcohol in 1944. Most of this alcohol is used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber. Earlier these estimates had been as high as bushels. Berger's aim is for 180,-milli- m m BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER J T y Og-de- " 7 n A 7 X " '' n mm ' 1BS3 J9H rItz. 4, atium Beta dust-frehours.
