Show FARM WAR NEWS IUti enbig Lifted On 12 Farm Items When the 1945 farm machinery rationing program went into effect on July 20, a dozen items went off the rationing list of farm equipment corn and cotton plante ers, sprayers, potato graders, stationary .balers, field ensilage harvesters, portable elevators, grain and forage Mowers, milking machines, field hay choppers and harvesters, windmills, listers and listers with planting attachments. Farmers no longer need to secure purchase certificates for these machines from the County Farm Machinery Rationing Com mittee. This reduction from 31 to 19 types of farm implements rationed was possiible due to overall farm machinery production at 1940 levels, a year and the fact that most of the needed war food production shiifts have been made. It is in line with V. F. A.'s policy to remove any restrictions necessitated by war conditions Just as soon as possible. Purchase certificates will be required in 1945 on all of the 19 rationed items, but there will be no county quotas on grain drills, potato planters, potato diggers, silo fillers, irrigation pumps, power sprayers, garden tractors, deep and shallow well water systems, power pumps, and farm milk coolers. County quotas will be established on combines, corn binders, com pickers, manure spreaders, mowers, rakes, hay loaders, pick-uhay balers and tractors. With the exception of power sprayers, garden tractors, deep and shallow wells water systems, power pumps and farm milk will discoolers, manufacturers tribute only 8 per cent of their authorized production with WFA directing distribution cf the 20 per cent reserve on the other 14 rationed items to take care of area needs that may develop. The entire distribution of the five items listed as exceptions will be by manufacturers. Reasons why all farm equipment could not be removed from the ration list are because demands resulting from increased acreages of war crops and farm labor losses still far exceed the available supply, and production although above rates for many of the ra- tioned items, is still limited by military needs for engines, bear- ings, malleable castings and other components.

The report d'jrlosed that the net income from agriculture of all persons living on farms operators and hired hands with an adjustment for changes, inventory amounted to $13.7 billion last year compared with $11.2 billion in 1942 and $5.4 billion in 1935-3The rise of 22 per cent between 1942 and 1943 in the net income from agriculture of all persons living on farms was matched by an advance of 23 per cent In the net income from all sources of people not living on farms.

Compared with 1910-1as the parity base, the net income of persons on farms in 1943 had increased 43 per cent more than the net income of persons not on farms. The gain as of 1942 was 35 per cent; as of 1941, 8 per cent. In 1940, net farm income stood 10 per cent below parity, and for the 1935-3- 9 average, one per cent above parity. offices not to accept new applications for light motor trucks following denial by WPB of an ODT' request for resumption of light truck production next January 1, in the interests of maintaining essential ciivilian and agricultural transportation needs. WPB was compelled to deny the request because of manpower aaid material shortages, but did authorize manufacturers to plan production of 41,000 light units on a basis which in "suspended AA-3- " no way guarantees production. Farmers have been filing applications for trucks through County AAA committees. Although light truck applications cannot be accepted until further notice, farmers may still file for medium or heavy units. 9.
